It has an expansive interior,…read morealthough the walls are painted a very dark colour which makes the main bar area feel a little claustrophobic. (Yes, as another review states, candles in the middle of the day are a feature). Fortunately there is a another eating area which is brighter, and a large covered eating area outside, if atmospheric gloom isn't your thing. The menu is a notch or three above average pub food; my friend had calves' liver with spring greens and mash, and I had a vegetarian sourdough pizza with a side salad of rocker with dressed shallots and grated pecorino cheese. Both were really excellent - my pizza had a deep umami flavour and is one of the best I've eaten. That said, you pay accordingly: the two mains, side salad, with a beer and water, and 12.5% service, came to just shy of £58. Service was very attentive, if rather serious. By the time we left the place was packed with families and couples. So, a good choice for a special meal, but it might be bit too restaurant-priced for some.

On the way back we drove through Zeals. There it was, on the left along the A303. It looked charming like so many English pubs do. We went in and took a long look at the menu. Five minutes later, we were back on the road...with reservations for two at 6:45 pm. There is plenty of outdoor seating but we chose to be indoors. We were met by a very welcoming staff. Everyone was so friendly. Our server, Josh, had seated us by the window in minutes. He was very helpful and attentive throughout our dinner. The wine list was varied. There were several beers on tap. My wife chose the liver, cabbage and mashed potatoes. She loved it. I selected the Roast Duck with kale, mashies, sautéed onions and cavalo nero. I thought it was terrific. The decor was an interesting mix of contemporary art, antique prints and old photographs. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in this cozy country Inn.

Evening of: 31/10/24…read more I have stated this previously in other reviews, I don't do them for gain, I do them to either praise or so that the establishment can improve on things that go wrong. I only looked at other reviews after my meal, and I was astounded by the variances of experiences. Although, you must speak as you find. Before I start this full review, WOW, what a wine list! Someone knows their wines. A fantastic selection, and this is not meant in any patronising way. If only I could have eaten a sweet, but I couldn't justify a half bottle of the Monteagudo Pedro Ximenez, Delgado Zuleta dessert wine. It will have to live for another day. On to the review..... The place styles itself as a bistro. It was warm and convivial, and tables didn't appear to be on top of each other. I was greeted in a friendly manner and shown to a table with ample room with additional seating. Ideal for my overcoat. I thought the menu selection was very good. I was asked what I would like to drink and initially ordered a pint of lager (Birra Moretti) after asking what was on offer. Later I ordered a large glass of Pinot Grigio to go with my main. My main arrived at my table 15 minutes after it was ordered. Not a problem as I expected the fish not to take too long to cook and the rest would have been pre-prepared. Main: Baked fillet of cod, over sauté new potatoes, buttered French beans, vine tomatoes and roast chill butter. The latter was a great flavour to have with the potatoes. The price was £26. Some will say quite pricey, but the cod was cooked to perfection, and it was a fully enjoyable main. The bill was as follows: Birra Moretti - £5.50 Baked Cod - £26.00 250ml of Pinot Grigio - £8.90 25ml of Courvoisier - £4.50 (I'll come back to the brandy) - NOTE: I have paid more elsewhere Latte - £3.90 Total - £48.80 (TIP - £5) The brandy, I asked for a large, but got a single, the lady misheard me. I stressed, no ice, and asked if they had a brandy glass, yes, they had.... Things I'd add. The glass was too small, the glass was cold, and I used the candle on the table to warm the glass and contents. I mentioned they could have used the steamer on the coffee machine. They took it in good part, I hope. The latte - perfect, lovely flavoursome coffee. Would I go back? Most certainly and to make sure I tried that dessert wine. Thanks everyone.

I also like my triple cooked chips a little more crispy, but that's just my taste. The desserts were lovely and again beautifully presented. The ginger cake with chocolate mousse and the ganache plate were particularly good. The table next to us has the beef wellington and I would definitely order that if I went again.

The Kings Arms is in the charming village that surrounds Montacute House. It sits just across from the 12th century church. It has 15 en suite rooms, a bar and restaurant. The lounge area is comfortable and very nicely decorated. The staff were very pleasant, and our room was very nice and overlooked their large beer garden. The bath was small, with a shower and nice fluffy towels. There was a TV and tea kettle in the room. We went to the lounge for drinks before dinner and enjoyed them while using the free WiFi. The staff were pleasant and attentive, and the lounge area is set up so you seem almost alone even with many other guests are about. There are several dining areas, all very nice. The tables are set so you can have an intimate dinner. The menu was varied and the food we had was exceptional. We started with the cheese plate. 4 local cheeses, all very good and a wonderful fruit chutney (£9). For mains, I had the lamb ribs, which were delicious (£20), and my wife had the fillet of hake (£12), also very nice. I had a glass of Argentine Malbec that was very good (£18/ bottle, £6.50 for a 250ml pour). My desert was a trio of their very good home made ice creams (£5).

It's a nice pub and establishment. When you enter there's a bar and some cozy indoor seating with natural light. Nothing fancy. There's also a wonderful outdoor patio, which is where we sat. There's two floors to it and most of the seating is covered. The service by workers were all friendly and nice. We ordered with them then paid at the bar. We shared Duck and Orange Pate. It was thick, tasty, and complex but well balanced. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich--the mixed leaves were tasty, the chicken crispy, and honestly it was a filling sandwich. I would say I'd like more in between the bread but it did fill me up. You've got plenty of pub options in Burford, but we quite enjoyed our time at The Angel. It's off Witney Street and a nice place to dine!

It's surrounded by rolling Hills and Dells and little rivers running through it. Burford is considered the gateway to the cot walls because it showcases several styles of very old architecture. that's still an excellent condition. If you have questions about what to do while you're there go to the Tolsey house.
