The Kings Arms - Carta

Just had an Excellent Sunday lunch here and the vanilla ginger and lemon cheesecake was delicious well worth a visit, friendly staff 10/10

Stayed for 2 nights as we completed Hadrian's Wall. Annette and her staff were fantastic. Lovely and friendly. Good ale and excellent traditional pub food. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It's a great place to start or finish your walk

We stayed here the night before setting off to cycle the length of Hadrian's Wall. Everything about the stay was perfect. All staff were very welcoming and friendly, the room was very comfortable. Dinner and breakfast both excellent. When we are next in the area, we will definitely stay here again. Ver carta

Fantastic stay, just post Covid lockdown lifting.Lovely owner and her daughter plus great staff make this an amazing family run pub. Rooms are simple but clean, bathrooms enormous! Home cooked food just what you want for a hungry walker. Great start to our journey thank you. Simon, Liz, Dave and Sarah

We were in Bowness for a week, finishing Hadrian’s Wall and coastal walking. We visited the pub four times, two for drinks and two for great pub grub. Our favourite was the really tasty, traditional chips. Plenty of veggie and vegan choices plus traditional pub grub. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

My son and I drove over to Burgh on Sands, then on to Bowness for lunch. The mist and drizzle spoilt our chance to admire the views, but at least we had a fine lunch at the Kings Arms.The staff were extremely friendly, very professional and diligent re virus safety, and the meals were excellent. I had fish and chips which came with salad and mushy peas, and my son had steak pie with the same trimmings. Apart from the quality there was plenty of it. My son thought the real ales were decent (not great), and I played safe with Peroni (always good). Ver carta

Food wasn't great one up from frozen really. Had steak pie and the portion was small filled mainly with congealed gravy and 3 small pieces of steak and one lump of fat, and the peas were uncooked. This cost £15.95 and did not warrant the price for the quality of the food can get this sort of thing in Asda for £5! Disappointing as reviews are misleading and was expecting a nice quality meal for what I paid for it. Other diners wanted Sunday dinner but had sold out and everything else seemed to be of limited availability. Sorry but wont be going again.

Spent a week in Bowness on Solway and the Kings Arms had been recommended to us by the owners of Solway Cottage. Our first impression driving past was that it was just a small pub and didn’t look anything special how wrong were we!The owners, Pam and Annette along with their family were some of the most welcoming, nicest, friendliest people we’ve ever met. We ate in there on numerous occasions throughout the week as the food was just excellent. All the meals are home prepared and cooked with the chips being some of the very best we’ve ever had.All in all we want to thank Pam, Annette, Sammie and Meg for making us feel so comfortable and wish you every success with your new venture.

The staff at this pub are amazing! Our wedding lunch was cancelled the day before due to the new tier restrictions. On a recommendation from the owner of the holiday cottage we were staying in we tried them for a last minute takeaway meal instead. Apparently they do not normally do this at lunchtime but as soon as they heard it was for our wedding they immediately agreed with very short notice. Choice of food was brilliant and all was absolutely delicious....home cooked, hot, good sized portions (and puddings were particularly good!)Without ever having sat down in the pub I would recommend it to all and when we return once Covid restrictions are lifted, we will certainly be looking forward t...
