Called on the off chance after being told there were no tables at another restaurant. Called The King's Arms to see if they could cater and they could at short notice. We sat outside as weather was lovely. Children played in outside area which kept them occupied. Staff are lovely and knowledgeable. Helpful too. Had Sunday roast, I had beef and other half had turkey. Both were devoured. I also had Kings toast which was YUM. We are visiting from London, however should we holiday in Great Yarmouth again we will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone that was so kind and catering for us. Claire xxx

We went as a family of 4 plus our dog and got the 2-4-1 burger deal which I don’t usually go for but wow I was genuinely blown away by this food! It was incredible I’m still thinking about it 2 hours later. 10/10 from me. Unfortunately I’m not local but I will definitely be going again!

Managed to get a booking (messaged through Messenger) for Sunday roast. Food was fantastic, really tasty and generous portion. Service was friendly and helpful. Becca was out server, but all the staff were amazing. Proper pub, with delicious food. Love singer was an added bonus to the amazing experience. We will definitely visit again, when we will be in the area.

I needed somewhere to have a meal with my parents before going to a show in Great Yarmouth and could see online that the Kings Arms menu would cater for all of us. I wasn't sure how good it would be having never been before but my goodness......what a find. The service was excellent......especially Sky who couldn't do enough for us. The food was amazing! Being fussy, I asked if i could have a meal made up of different things on the menu and this was not a problem for them. Alfie, in the kitchen cooked me an amazing meal with no hesitation at all. Overall, I highly recommend this place. The food, the service, the value......it was all outstanding and my parents enjoyed every bit of their meal and they are hard to please, so thankyou. We will be back x

I like ale. The day I visited only one was available. Tropical Deluxe by Howling Hops. Quite interesting but a bit weak (less than 4%). The beer garden is superb. The food looks nice but I didn't have any. They must be doing something right because it's packed solid. I like the clientele, they are lunatics. Very funny people. Good atmosphere, good people, good food. 5 star is they did some strong ales.

A planned visit for Sunday lunch. Easy to book a table. A warm welcome. Service (thanks Skye) was spot on. Friendly, chatty and efficient. Food was amazing. Good selection of fresh veg, stuffing, lots of tasty meat and cauliflower cheese (paid extra, but lots of it - enough for 3/4). Clean plates all round. We'll be back! Kerry, Dale, John

What a great pub. Very dog friendly. Great staff and very friendly. Good selection of great beers. Very tasty food at very reasonable price. They have a lovely kept beer garden filled with lots of well kept plants and qwerky ornaments. We where recommended the place by the people that helped moor us. Would definitely recommend the bar bites from the food menu.

We recently went here, we were greeted with lovely, friendly smiles. We were served by Becca and Skye and nothing was too much effort for them - specifically sourcing “The Bentley of high chairs” for my niece. The food was lovely and service attentive. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting. We will come back when we are in the area again. Thanks all :)

The Kings Arms in Great Yarmouth is a must-visit! We had the pleasure of dining here on Sunday and were blown away by the quality of the food. The vegetarian Sunday roasts were delicious, with the Wellington and butternut squash options being particularly noteworthy. The waiters were incredibly kind, polite, and helpful, always going the extra mile to make sure we had a fantastic experience. The coffee was also great, adding the perfect finishing touch to a delightful meal. Overall, I highly recommend The Kings Arms for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming dining experience.

We had lunch in the garden here and loved it. The food was great, the service was good, and the kids loved the play area in the garden. The burgers were excellent, and the offerings from the children's menu were great. Our group enjoyed lunch here, and we would definitely recommend it.

Lovely pub very friendly staff. Food first class but took 45 mins + to arrive...had been a huge order in just before ours and staff did apologise and keep us updated. No dogs in the restaurant area and was pouring with rain so we ate in the bar with the dog at our feet. Would definitely recommend this place. Food was all freshly made as you can see from the chicken nuggets and veggie curry. Brilliant veggie and vegan menu. Great value for money.

What can I say the service was 5 star, Kara was very attentive and accommodating , the food was absolutely AMAZING & DELICIOUS and piping hot. The portion sizes were really good too. We ate in the beer garden to make the most of the weather , that meant extra effort for all the staff but they still went the extra mile. (No pun intended) My only regret is we didn’t take pictures 🤷‍♀️ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
