Popped in for Sunday lunch 2 weeks ago, great atmosphere, 2 fires lit and cosy, lovely friendly service from both the bar and the waitress. All three of us went for the beef, gave to say this is probably the best Sunday lunch outside a home that I have had in a good while, beef excellently cooked, roasts, gravy, lovely choice of vegetables including a cauliflower cheese to die for. Really can't recommend this place highly enough, it was mother's day as well, so busy. I will be back on my next visit

After walking along the coastal path in South Sands, we stopped by the Kings Arms on a Sunday evening. We ordered the duck breast, which was one of the daily specials. Perfectly tender duck breast, on a bed of delish braised red cabbage and crisp green beans, flanked by two roast potatoes. 10 out of 10. Really wonderful meal to wrap up the day.

Didn't eat but welcoming, friendly, attentive, lovely atmosphere that also welcomes children. Would go again. Bottle of house wine only £24. (Great for here)

One of the best spots in town. Another pub up the hill could do with a lesson from KA as it’s excellent !

Service and the attitude of staff was appalling. We booked a table when we arrived for an hour later thinking we’d have a drink first but then once seated in the bar area we asked if we could order food now instead. The bar tender said yes he would get someone to come over. No one came so went to the bar and was told same thing someone would be over. No one came. Again we asked and again told the same thing. Finally, waitress came at the time we booked. We happened to mention this and her attitude towards us was nothing short of extremely rude. Basically saying well, I’m here now aren't I, and how we had wasted her time explaining so are we going to order. We said no and walked out. Completely shocked by her tone, sarcasm and attitude. Another member of the team also had an unwelcoming reception when ordering a drink. The whole experience was simply awful. According to a local shop owner this isn’t the first time staff have been rude to customers giving them a bad attitude and experience.

Amazing food, and large portions. Service wasn't up to par with the food though. No one checked with us throughout to make sure food was ok, and only checked with one person on the table about dessert and assumed that was the same answer for everyone.

Very nice cafe we got cheesy chips and it was delicious, will definitely be back there.
Very popular restaurant, Make sure you book a table Having failed to get a table on Friday , we were lucky enough to get a walk in early Saturday evening There is a very decent menu, which is enchanted by a full specials board Both my wife and I opted for the ribeye steak Wow, was it good Both steaks were cooked perfectly. We both agreed the best steaks we had ever had. The chips were delicious as well The best meal we had in Salcombe by far and we would definitely go back Highly recommend

Rude, inattentive staff who can’t seem to crack a smile.I had to ask 3 times could someone take an order and then we got a sharp response when we ask again. Yet we’d waited 35 minutes.I ordered bruschetta which was just filled with garlic. I love garlic but I counted 16 garlic cloves on one piece of bread. It wasn’t good and it’s something I have a lot and never seen that many whole gloves on one piece of bread.Even when leaving the female manager just stood there whilst waiting for us to move out her way. No thank you, no see you again, couldn’t even manage a smile. Some of the younger staff seems nice but the female manager and an older tall male just didn’t want to be there. Shame as it’s a lovely setting but wouldn’t recommend.Kid-friendliness: Wouldn’t say they are particularly kid friendly

BOOK AHEAD HOLIDAY MAKERS AND HUNGRY FOLK ALIKE! A busy but professional and fun pub with lots of good hearty PROPER food on the menu, staffed by nice kind hearted people and chefs who are putting their all into the cooking! Had a divine meal with a good pint afterwards in the bar area, top notch
