Top spot for lunch. Has changed owners since the last time I visited. Clean, modern interior and dining room. Friendly service. Scotch eggs are house made and recommended.

Superb Sunday lunch. Rare breed beef served rare. Tasty. My wife's chicken pie was home made and stuffed with chicken. Triple chocolate brownie with clotted cream. Yum. Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. Tasted home made. Good portion size. Well kept Butcombe bitter and local cider. Happy the kings arms has come back!

Staying the night in Yarcombe on a bike tour and decided to head to this nearby pub hoping for a traditional homely meal — steak and kidney pie with apple crumble for pudding was specifically in mind. As luck would have it, Wednesdays are Thai-only night so settled for spring rolls, a beef main course with rice and a chicken main course (no pudding available sadly)…. Quirky cuisine but tasty and filling. Fantastic customer service from a cheerful manager and lovely waitresses. Really appreciated the two log fires coming in from the cold and great to hobnob with friendly East Devon locals gathered round it. In short, a splendid evening.
