The Kings Arms Temple Sowerby

Really over priced for poorly cooked food. Felt ripped off. Spent £500 on a family meal was a load of garbage no on even comes to see if ya foods OK. Was one poor girl trying to do everything. If ya going to charge restaurant prices then the food and service needs to be restaurant quality. They would be better just doing good cheap dependable pub food and get some regulars in and not make people feel cheated.

Stayed for a night whilst passing through on a walking holiday (or rather, I arrived on foot and left the following day on a bus as a vicious cold finally got the better of me!). A lovely large old inn in this small village, it served up a surprisingly good Sunday roast dinner followed by my personal favourite - a cheese board with local specialties. Breakfast the following morning was good and wholesome. And service was delightful both in the evening and morning. The room was nice spacious and quiet (well away from the bar / restaurant downstairs). This felt like quite a classy hotel in a mid-size town so how they manage to maintain their high standard in this tiny hamlet is a bit of a mystery. Never the less, it's a fine place and well worth your custom if you're in the vicinity.

Recently stayed here and it was the most amazing stay. The new manager made us feel at home, nothing was too much trouble. My little boy was welcomed which was lovely. The food was elevated to a whole other level! Can't wait to go back asap - can't express how amazing the staff were.

This was our second stay since the Kings Arms was refurbished, and, as before, we couldn't have been more impressed. The staff are friendly, professional and welcoming; the food - breakfast and evening meals - is very very good indeed, and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. I can't think of one negative or neutral comment to balance my "Excellent in every way" verdict!

I do not say this lightly, this the best roast dinner I have had!!! Each part of the dinner was perfectly cooked and even my fussy children cleared their plates. Service was great and attentive. The atmosphere was spot on! Thank you, We will be back ❤️

Our go to local for the whole stay. We stayed just round the corner from here and made it our local from day one. First night we popped round for a quick drink before heading to bed and booked on for breakfast for the next day. Absolutely lovely breakie to set you up for the day, popped back for the Sunday roast after a big walk, delicious and hearty and needed after the long walk. Stayed for coffees and card games by the fire. So cosy could have stayed there all night. The level of services and quality are outstanding which is why we booked for our last night meals here. Massive shout out to the staff who make you feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. 10/10 would recommend!
