The Kings Arms, Se1 2jx - Southwark

A table for dinner. Armed, sitting, menus brought along. ordered to dine and were then told to the cook, the kitchen closed. wtaf? I give it a year max.

Oh, my God. what happened to this place? we start with the staff. the aspiring, friendly, dedicated, helpful staff that the pub was loved seemed to have disappeared and was replaced by slow, unhelpful, smiling dawdlers. you have always got table service for. foods that are gone, so it's back at the bar where the bar staff comes to you. when no one notices their arrival, so after a few moments of standing there you could say that they are hit for two walk-ins... with an empty star, followed by a view of milder irritation, a look at a worker and, finally, we can do it here (but don't give them any menus, don't say it's order of cash, and won't even deal with them). also the vegan options seem to have disappeared from the menu, and the vegetarian option is tiny. I mean, 5 mouthful, tiny (on a great big teller. for 14.50 pfund! we have left starving. each other makes his game up at the moment. What are you doing on earth, king’s arms?

Close to stay, came in hunger to find a delightful, funny pub with foodie level tasty, board games and friendly service. came back to lunch. was impressed again. spicy, sticky chicken was phenomenal. friendly waiter, faster service.

The kings arms is a bright light fire in this rather Drab area of the tooley street. fine bar with a selection of ales was the old speckled hen at the entrance excellent. I ordered the rib-eye steak, which was quite good at £22 these...days well cooked, as desired, my only critique was the wide of the steak that I would prefer it thicker, but then it would have been more expensive. thick cut chips were noticeable. service excellent, sympathetic and helpful.

We visited this popular pub as it was near to where we were staying, what a pleasant surprise. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and helpful. The pub itself is clean and nicely decorated, with a relaxed atmosphere. The ribs were amazing!
