About
The Kings Arms is on the High Street in Mickleton, the village below Hidcote and Kiftsgate Court. Inside are low beams and log fires, a restaurant, a snug and a bar, and behind is a garden where barbecue plates are served from Thursday to Sunday through the summer.
The menu changes every week, built on seasonal Cotswold produce: pub classics alongside a few more ambitious specials, with a children's menu and a Sunday menu. The same à la carte is served in the restaurant, the snug and the bar, and there are local ales, craft beers and wine. For parties, a private dining barn seats up to 35, with an à la carte or buffet menu ordered in advance.
Food runs every day: from noon to 2.30pm and 6pm to 8.30pm Monday to Thursday, to 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and from noon to 6pm on Sundays, with last orders 15 minutes before. On Sundays tables are given at 12 or 12.30, 2 or 2.30, or from 4pm. Book online or by phone. A booking is not firm until the pub confirms it; for a table within the next 24 hours, and for groups of more than eight, call.
Well-behaved dogs on a lead are welcome. The walk from Mickleton to Hidcote and Kiftsgate climbs to both gardens and comes back down to the village, which makes the Kings Arms the natural place to finish.
