The Kings Arms Coleorton in Coalville

Ah, The Kings Arms in Coleorton – it's one of those pubs that really pulls you in with its positives, but you've got to take the rough with the smooth. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff are absolute gems; they're warm and chatty, which makes popping in for a drink feel like catching up with mates. The food's another winner – whether it's those mouthwatering cheesy chips that folks rave about or a solid Sunday carvery, it's clear the chef knows their stuff and even goes the extra mile for special requests. It's family-friendly too, with space for the dog and a peaceful campsite if you're staying over, which adds a nice touch for a relaxed day out. On the flip side, though, it's not all rosy; some have mentioned the place feeling a bit neglected, like with sticky tables or grubby toilets, which can really dampen the mood. And let's be honest, if the service drags or comes across as a bit offhand, it might leave you wishing for a quicker pint elsewhere. Overall, it's a decent local haunt with a 4.4 rating that shows more folks are smitten than not, so if you're in the area, I'd say give it a go – just keep your expectations balanced and maybe check it's on form before heading in for that perfect pub experience.
