    Four of us had a wonderful dinner here last night. The food was delicious and the service was…read more10/10! We will definitely be returning soon.

    What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

    We went to this place having had the poor meal at the Crown and Anchor, we had to leave the C&A due…read moreto mould on the toast, so this place was going to be excellent whatever, when compared to that. I am pleased to say that this place did not let us down. We have eaten here twice over the last 2 years. The food is good, you get alot of it which is fine if you are of super size. I am 6ft 2" and I will normally have a starter and a main or a main and a pudding but having had the main I struggled to fit the pudding in. I think they should reduce the portion size ever so slightly so that they get their patrons to order a pudding as well on more occasions. Makes more business sense to me! My main was a ribeye steak and chips with mushrooms and tomatoes, I had strawberry pavalova for my pudding. I overheard some other customers order the pavalova as well but unfortunately for them the pub had run out. It was really good and knowing that I had the last one made it taste even better! They have a selection of bitters on tap. The staff were attentive, young, I think perhaps the sons of the owners. They seemed to give that bit of extra attention and when they asked how things were/how was the meal etc, they did want to know rather than just asking for the sake of things. There is a massive car park at the location and also a farm shop, we went in briefly to the shop but only to get out of the thunder storm /rain that was occuring at the time so I cant review that facility. Will probably use this place more often now that the C&A let us down.

    Very good food. I would book because it is popular! We had a group of 9 and there was also another…read moretable room had an even larger group which on the night caused some delays, however the staff were very friendly throughout and never appeared flustered. Meals were very large and great quality. There was a struggle for some to finish the mains, no-one had desert! All meals were twice the size and half the price you would expect for the quality. Shame I don't live nearer as its somewhere I would like to go back to again.

    Nice gastro-pub in a village regarded by many as the prettiest village in Lincolnshire…read more The pub actually faces its village, and the church, away from the main road. On the main road, is a large car park, which opens onto the pub's beer garden and the rear entrance. The pub itself dates to the 17th Century and is grade II listed. The facade is pretty as a postcard, with creeper growing over the stone walls. Inside, a fairly thorough makeover gives it a more modern feel, with white and pastels complementing the wooden furniture. They have an a la Carte and fixed price menu. The offering varies from sandwiches and light bites to full meals. I had the garlic mushrooms with grated Parmesan on brioche toast (£7.95), friends had the Locally Sourced Ham, Free Range Fried Eggs & Chips (£10.95); and Beer Battered Haddock with Chips, Peas & Tartar Sauce (£13.95). Although it's a bit pricey, everyone enjoyed the meal and the quality of the food was very good. Service was reasonably quick and efficient. They serve a good range of real ales, too. Recommended.

    I was so pleasantly surprised by our meal here!…read more We booked a table last minute for 5 people and they were very accommodating. I had the tempura prawns to start - a little pricey for what you get, but they were perfectly crispy and yummy. For main I had the salmon en croute - it was packed full of salmon and absolutely delicious! The restaurant is very cute & cosy and I would definitely be happy to return.
