About This Pub

Oh, let me tell you about The Kings Arms – it's one of those pubs in Bexleyheath that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is a real highlight; people rave about the burgers and how everything's cooked to perfection, plus that lunch menu is an absolute steal at £18 for a full spread. It's got this modern vibe with a roof terrace that's ideal for soaking up the sun, and the events lineup – think live music and quiz nights – keeps the place buzzing and makes it easy to pop in for a laugh with mates. The staff usually come across as dead welcoming, which adds to that cosy feel, but I've heard a few tales of service being a bit hit or miss, like waiting ages to be seated or not getting the friendliest greeting, so it might depend on the day. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a relaxed meal or a night out, but just keep in mind it has its ups and downs like any good pub does – worth giving it a go for the positives alone!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food here is absolutely brilliant – think tasty burgers and seasonal menus that keep things fresh and exciting.
  • Great value for money, especially with their lunch deal for just £18, including a starter, main, and a drink – perfect for a midweek treat.
  • The staff are generally friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • Loads of fun events like live music, quiz nights, and even darts, which really add to the lively atmosphere.
  • The modern interior and roof terrace are spot on for a relaxed pint or a bite, especially on a sunny day.
Cons
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, with some reports of long waits and not the warmest welcome, which puts a damper on things.
  • Not everything is always available, like the roof garden not being open when you'd hope, so you might miss out on the full experience.

Came for a quick drink. Really nice place located right in the centre. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Service was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Great vibe to the place. Roof garden which wasn't open when we went. They have darts night, chess night, and probably lots of other things. Probably the best pub in Bexley heath.

We visited the Kings Arms on Monday 14th April and was really disappointed with the service provided. We arrived at 2:30pm with our 2 young children and waited at the bar for 10-15 minutes to be seated for a meal, no staff were around. Once Michelle came out we didn’t receive a warm welcome or an apology for the wait. We had friends meeting us so she pushed 2 round tables together for us to sit down together which was fine. We were then sat down and ignored for another 15 minutes - we weren’t given menus or asked if we wanted any drinks. Our kids were getting restless after waiting half an hour, So I helped myself to the menus and went back up to the bar to order as no luck being served at our table. I was told a bday party had come in without booking so they had been busy but still no apology for lack of table service. I ordered our drinks and meals and headed back to our table and put our menus back. The food came out which was all really delicious and was served by a friendly young lad. Our friends arrived and received a warm welcome, hugs, smiles and lots of chat throughout the afternoon which seemed to highlight how differently we were treated. On the way home our friends asked how much our bill was and I realised we had been overcharged for the kids drinks which should have been free with their meals during the half term promotion. A small error but just another thing which added to the bad experience. We have visited loads of times and had great service before but unfortunately we won’t be returning in a hurry, a real shame as the food is great.

Can always guarantee having a good time and good food where we come. Service is friendly and welcoming. The menu is often changing with the seasons, never had the same thing twice. Cocktails are amazing. Offers quiz nights, bingo nights, movie nights and live music. I would recommend.
