Kings Arms - Wychavon

I have read some recent poor reviews about this pub which motivated me to put the record straight because they are plain wrong. I 've been using this place for maybe 6 years now. Pre-pandemic it was a great business, great beer and great food. Then two years or so of abject awfulness with a succession of bad management that really let the pub and its regulars down to the point of it being empty most of the time. Now! Hallelujah! The pub now has a team it deserves. The new managers turned the pub 's fortunes around in about four weeks of taking over which surprised me when you consider the neglect that preceded them but they are dedicated, professional and very hard working. The food is excellent and being a local i eat in many of the more decent food pubs in the area so i can confidently say the food @TKA is up there with the rest of them. Its really tasty and completely made from scratch which isn 't common. Even the places that say homemade often have a bit of ding ding in there somewhere. I can spot no evidence of ding ding here. You can tell the Chef knows his stuff and the Landlady is lovely. Both very professional people. Sadly one reviewer pitched this pub against two other nearby pubs on price range. That is totally unfair. One of the other pubs is a freehold for starters and the other slams you on the price of drinks. However all three pubs are excellent but that was a sh*tty thing to say. One course Sunday roast with drinks at each of those pubs would place The Kings Arms smack bang in the middle unless you are drinking tap water. I think the person who wrote that review should drink more tap water. I have quite a few beautiful and excellent pubs that serve great food within a 15 min drive from my house. They can all do well without crappy and off the mark comments. On a lighter note. The bar staff are lovely also. Very friendly and they actually smile!! And even the bar snacks are homemade. Think British tapas. home made slices of sausage roll and scotch egg or pieces of really good brownie. That 's a nice touch if you have been out walking the dogs for example and you have a chicken in the oven at home. Drop in here for a pint and a little bite. Excellent pub now.

My wife and I ordered fish and chips at this restaurant. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to discover a couple of hairs in my food. I discreetly informed a staff member, who quickly walked away without acknowledging the issue. The food itself was very underwhelming - the fish was bland and tasteless, and it seemed like the cooking oil needed to be changed for both the chips and fish. Overall, we found the meal to be overpriced and of poor quality.

We made a reservation for the Sunday Roast at this restaurant. The food arrived very quickly after ordering, which made me question how fresh it was. The plates the food came on were only at room temperature, so the food was lukewarm. The beef was tough and had a lot of sinew. The stuffing was overdone on the outside and dense on the inside. I can't remember if the menu said the potatoes were roasted, but if they were, they were no longer crispy as they were buried beneath the meat. The meal lacked flavor. I couldn't help but think that the reason for the quick service and poor quality was because the meals had been sent back by someone else and then given to us. The waitress was nice and engaged with us, but no one from the kitchen or management addressed our concerns. We have eaten here before on weekdays and enjoyed the food, but this Sunday roast experience was disappointing. We won't be returning for the Sunday roast anytime soon. The meal was not worth the price compared to other nearby options that offer better quality for a lower price.

Less than we expected. The Barmiad appeared to not really know what she was doing or even what was going on. Sunday Lunch has dropped in standard. It’s £20 as well!! Below average. We should have known when they could fit us in at the last minute. It used to packed out. We won’t return.

Great food and service. Living in the village, I have seen this place change hands far too often. How nice to have people here cooking fresh and really giving it a go.
