The Kings Arms Haughley - Mid Suffolk

Came for the set menu valentines meal with my husband. The waitresses were extremely attentive and cannot be faulted. The steak and halibut were both over cooked, lacked seasoning and the chips tasted terrible as if they had been frozen for months. When this was brought to the attention of the landlord, he was extremely rude and aggressive towards my husband. My husband had offered to tip our lovely waitress £10 and wanted £10 off the bill (all in all the same price but the money going where it is deserved) for the poor quality food and the landlord was shouting in front of the whole restaurant threatening to call the police over a very poorly cooked meal. Accused us of ‘just not wanting to pay’ which is not the case because had the food been good quality we would have happily paid in excess of £50pp. That is certainly no way to keep customers, especially in a small village pub. Will not be recommending to anyone and I hope the waitresses can see that they would probably be treated better elsewhere! On the plus side the wine was lovely!

It was my partners 80th birthday today and as original plans had changed we decided to try and see if we could get a table for two having eaten here before and knowing how good the food is. Luckily we were greeted by lovely staff and they found us a table immediately, no trouble at all. Well the roast beef dinner was delicious and very generous . We had the loveliest waitress too. Managed to fit in desert which was also lovely. The decor is so nice as was the music playing in the background . This pub has a lovely atmosphere and we intend to return again very soon. I am so glad we managed to get a table here for the birthday lunch. Thank you to the new manager and lovely staff Debbie and David

The pub has a great ambiance and helpful staff. we ordered food from the Christmas menu, and my partners vegetarian dish looked appealing and freshly prepared, and she really enjoyed it. However, the turkey roast which I was served was no better than a school dinner. it was served with a generous portion of veg and roast ? potatoes. Unfortunately, the gravy,and turkey had no flavour at all, and the roasties, were no more than large frozen chips and were just as dry. I have never had a roast dinner when the item with most flavour was the carrots. I'm afraid that I will not be repeating my visit, which is a shame, because it is a really welcoming pub, and they obviously can serve good food, its just a pity the same effort isn't made for all dishes.

The landlord/owner is rude and aggressive to customers. Also very unprofessional. Avoid and go somewhere decent.

Went with 2 friends for lunch today. It was really a great meal. Hot plates, plenty of food. Resonably priced all In all brilliant. Going again next week.
