15 of us ate in the restaurant for Boxing Day lunch and it was impeccable. When I called to book a few weeks before I asked if they’d be putting on a roast dinner (as many pubs go back to their usual weekday menu after Christmas) and was told they can do that if we wish, which was really good of them. Friendly helpful staff, beautifully decorated pub and the roast beef was amazing! Gravy so so tasty in particular. Thank you, we’ll be back very soon!
We visited The King’s Arms for dinner. The pub was quite busy and had a lovely atmosphere. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived, served drinks at the bar and taken to our table. The restaurant was quiet with a calm atmosphere and beautifully decorated. The staff were all friendly and attentive, we had a little wait for our food, but not too long. It was well worth waiting for! Delicious, hot and freshly cooked with high quality ingredients. The portions were a good size, we even managed dessert too! The Kings Arms is well worth a visit, I would recommend booking a table so you are not disappointed. We will be returning again soon.
Lovely village pub, nice atmosphere, great staff, lovely food. We visited early evening, the pub was busy, the restaurant was still fairly quiet. The restaurant has a lovely feel with a mix of stone walls and plaster and some nice lighting giving it a modern feel yet retaining the character and charm. The staff were friendly and welcoming and attentive. Food was very tasty, the menu gives enough choice for most people. Highly recommended a visit and certainly will return again in the near future.
Great lunch here. Beautiful lightly battered fish, perfect chips and accompaniments. Then a decorative Sicilian Lemon Tart etc. Efficient friendly service.
We stumbled over this beautiful pub on Easter Monday drive, & I’m very pleased to say we all had a lovely meal. On our order it was Fish & chips & 2 homemade burgers & chips. The homemade burgers were so juicy & tasted homemade. The staff, so kind & welcoming. I hope to store this place for a future visit. Thank you.

Very few country pubs can compete with the character of The Chequered Skipper, sitting on the green of a village built entirely of stone and thatch. Fine cuisine, beers and wines await you at one of the finest country pubs in Northamptonshire.
