My whole family loved our Christmas lunch here. The food was great, the service was friendly and welcoming and we all had a great time. We'd definately recommend and we will definately be returning soon

Lovely pub, really nice food and staff, just a bit cold inside!

First the positives: - restaurant in the evening was pleasant, food was good and reasonably priced - staff were friendly - especially the gentleman who runs the bar - if we had only gone for a meal the rating would be 4 But the negative was the hotel - first room we were offered had a ripped chair, black mildew on the bathroom ceiling and furniture which was more than distressed. We then moved to a better room in the main building but it was still a mess of old mismatched furniture, a broken mirror stand and a tiny TV which barely worked. The rooms are worth no better than a 2 star rating. A shame as it’s a lovely village and setting.

Quality place. Three excellent real ales. Top draw food. Highly

A wonderful haven to find in the floods when our nation trust visit was closed. Yummy lunch and coffee and our welcome by Zoe and service was so warm and jolly. Will be back on our next try to visit!

Christmas meal with friends. When you’re dealing with large groups, especially at this time of year, it can be hit or miss…the Kings Arms was definitely a HIT! From the kindness and service given by staff to the quality of the food, this was my first visit but will most definitely not be my last (totally worth the trip from Taunton). Every aspect was superb and we cannot thank you enough for a wonderful evening. Oh, and enjoy the IKEA bucket hat ;)

Went for a family Christmas meal. Food was faultless as was the service. But come 10-40 Lady puts her head around the corner and say she will be locking the front door in ten minutes. In other words you have had your meal now pay and go home. Made all 10 of us feel very uncomfortable. what happened to the table is yours till you leave. Not sure I want to return again.

Friendly welcome, with a nice atmosphere. We had a family room, which was spacious. The room was generally clean and comfortable, offered tea/coffee making facilities, toiletries, spacious wardrobe, dressing table and TV. The bathroom let it down a little, which wasn't spotless (mould/mildew in shower- could have easily been cleaned away with a little tlc). We had a comfortable sleep. We dined in the pub on 1 night, and the food was amazing. The breakfasts too were great, fresh hot food made to order, along with juices, yoghurt, cereal, and toast. The hotel has separate entrances to the main pub so if you need to get in late, they provide a key, which was handy. Plenty of parking too. Overall a good stay, and would return if visiting the area again.
the place is pleasant, the food is good,but there is no zone on the phone, and the WI FI does not work, and no one even tried to fix it!!!to call home I had to go to Mcdonalds for a video call!!!

I had a lovely stay at the King's Arms! Clive, the owner, is a very kind and welcoming man. The room was very comfortable and the food was delicious! I am vegan and the cook made a vegan soup specifically for me for dinner because the soup of the day contained dairy and modified one of the breakfast dishes to make it vegan. The hotel/restaurant is very close to Montacute House and set in a gorgeous location! Highly recommended :)

Easily among the top three fish and chips I've eaten. Great pub, excellent service and very reasonably

Excellent food, unfortunately the one thing I wanted on the menu was off the menu however, I went for the burger which tasted great and so did the fries which came in a big portion. For desert I had the Sticky Toffee pudding which again I really enjoyed. A great meal all round. Service was excellent and attentive! Would eat here again!

Our second visit here for drinks and we had dinner on Halloween night menu which I thought was very nice and very reasonably priced. The menu was a little confusing with dessert and we ended up with a shared dessert rather than a proper apple crumble. I’d do away with the pizza dessert they don’t really work but it was worth a try. However I would highly recommend coming here for drinks, dinner etc. if we stayed in Montacute again we’d look to stay here. Staff were very friendly and the service was great. The food we had was lovely and I look forward to eating here again.
Great staff good value food.
