  “Although we live fairly locally, it’s been years since we’ve been here. We visited today and was not disappointed. We received a very warm welcome and given the choice to eat inside or outside. It was easy to pre book through messenger but I’m sure you would easily get a table if you were a walk in. My OH had a ploughman’s which he said was delicious. Myself and our friend had the scampi which we both enjoyed. The staff, the service and the food were all great and prices are very reasonable. Not a huge choice but more than enough options to keep you sated. Would we return again? Absolutely! 💯”

  “Warm and welcoming local pub / restaurant. Beer on tap and local brews provided. Food was great which makes for a good all-rounder. Small assault course for kids with room to play. If you haven't been, I do recommend a visit 👍”

  “Shouldham’s last surviving pub is owned by the local community which instantly gives it a homely feel with both regulars and visitors frequenting for food and drink. We were staying locally and had been told that their burger was amazing which is indeed what we ordered. It was fab served with cheese, chorizo mayonnaise and coleslaw with chunky chips. Additionally we had the haloumi fries too. Really good food and a really nice pub. WiFi too plus an outside garden for summer, but as this was a winter visit it was nice to see a roaring fire keeping everyone warm.”

  “The village of Shouldham is so off the beaten track, that you'd never just come across it, unless you were really looking for it. The pub sits just on the village green with the old school at the other end and the converted remains of the odd local shop in between. We decided to have our wedding anniversary meal in the pub, which is a popular place and well attended when we arrived, but with plenty of seating inside and out. I have to say that we did have to wait a while to get served. Having said that, It did give us time to have the sort of conversations that you don’t have a chance to have after three years of marriage. You know the sort of thing.. like  “what’s your favourite colour?” and “How many Harry Styles tracks can you name?” (“Who?” I said…) Our table was in one of the cavernous fireplaces, a delightful setting which could have been interesting had it been Christmas Eve, if you see what I mean.. There was a standard menu and a specials board, which should cater for the needs of most. Our Starters (tandoori chicken pieces with two sauces and Halloumi fries with a sweet chilli sauce) The fries were a bit too many for my wife, but I could have done with a couple more bits of Chicken. My thoughts about small portions went when our mains arrived. From the specials board, I went for a fillet of sea Bream which sat on a bed of conchigli with a creamy sauce and peas. It seemed to be an odd combination. The delicate fish which was cooked wonderfully, sitting on this huge load of pasta and sauce. It was too much. I would have rather had some spring vegetables that would have complimented the fish. My wife had the sausage and mash with chives, which she was happy with. For desserts, Linda had the Frangipane which she liked (it was enough for two!) and I had  Blackberry and Apple crumble with Ice cream. Mine was just a bit overloaded with crumble, but very tasty. Certainly, the desserts were value for money. The surroundings were lovely and the staff, very friendly and all in all we were very happy with the evening, but a bit too long to wait and it and just too much pasta!! Please remember, things may be different on another night, so do go and support the King Arms, it’s a gem!!!”

  “Super cozy, lovely local pub. We have been here many times as a couple and in groups. Overall we have had consistent positive experiences. Some of our favorites include: halloumi, beer-battered fish & chips, the burgers, and ANY of the cheesecakes! They are a family friendly, dog friendly pub that has a wonderful beer garden and partially covered patio for Summer and nicer weather. Definitely recommend booking a table for dinner as they full up fast (especially in colder months). They easily accomodate parties with notice and we have seen special events being held here. Only issue we struggle with is that when busy table service can be inconsistent (friendly, but often you need to find someone when you need anything).”

  “Lovely sunday roast dinner at a reasonable price. Dog friendly, and very helpful staff. Food was delicious and it had a great atmosphere. Would suggest reserving a table ahead of time as it gets busy.”

  “This a lovely pub situated in a very pretty village. The bar has a great range of real ales. There is an ever changing dining menu, all of which sound delicious. I had a starter of chicken goujons with a festive mayonnaise dip. For my main course I had the the beef and ale pie, mange tout and new potatoes. The pie had beautiful rich gravy and a light shortcrust pastry top. The bar staff were very pleasant and polite. I can't fault the place. I will certainly be visiting here again!”
