Just amazing food, service, and ambience . First time at this Ivy, certainly will not be my last!!

Our first visit to The King’s Arms. We love The Tiger Inn and this was equally as impressive. Immaculately decorated, fantastic food and good all round service.

2nd time here, absolutely amazing food & service! 5/5! Only thing i will say - which isnt even a big deal, is the playlist, you’d expect a country playlist at this sort of place, but there were a lot of 80’s songs being played haha! Still, it was great! It was also my girlfriends birthday so i made a note of that on the booking, and when we arrived the team greeted us with happy birthday & after we had our meals they bought over a happy birthday plate with a brownie, strawberry and candle on it. Lovely evening celebrating & it’s 100% worth the money!

A wonderful experience with great food. Would highly recommend.

Had a really enjoyable tasting menu today at The Fordwich Arms. We knew it was going to be an enjoyable experience when our table was located next to a traditional log fire - much appreciated on such a cold day. The food was scrumptious and it was soon apparent why Fordwich has its Michelin star. I really liked all of the food but was torn between the quail and the monkfish when I was endeavouring to rank my favourite dish. The dessert was typically decadent with a subtle ice cream confection that purposely resembled a Snickers. How did they know that I love Snickers? Since I was the designated driver, it was my partner who had the paired wines. Each wine was accompanied by a detailed description from the sommelier whose knowledge of each wine was so instructive that I almost started to make notes. All of the staff were extremely attentive and good-humoured. Thank you all for making my partner’s birthday such a special day.
