Had to find the server to place order, as she disappeared after giving us our menu and didn't return. Food was lovely. I had said on booking that it was for my husband's 60th, but there was no acknowledgement and lady that took our plates after was a bit dismissive when we were saying how much we enjoyed the meal but hey ho. Would go back as the food was so good

We had reserved a table and when we arrived it was waiting for us with our name on and the high chair we had ordered (perfect).
Service was very good but a little slow getting food especially deserts.
Food was very good.
We will be back.
Cartmel is our special place.

There were a few things not available but still plenty to choose from. One of our group was teasing the waitress but she took it all in the humour it was meant to be. Singer was excellent. Shame it was such a wet night as not many ventured out later.

Fabulous Sunday lunch, piping hot, lovely veg, super huge and beautifully cooked Yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy.
Shared a sticky toffee pudding (rude not to as we were in Cartmel)

We have been to the kings arms twice for Sunday lunch and it was delicious. The roast beef was melt in the mouth and the Yorkshire puddings are enormous. Great service and surroundings. Would definitely recommend.

Service was okay, a large group of 12 people were in which did mean the bar staff were busy but young barmaid was very pleasant.
Food was lovely, ox tail pie was delicious, highly recommend.

2nd visit for Sunday lunch, accommodated us earlier than booked which was great - very busy and it showed, drink took longer than it should but waitress was apologetic and it was fine - no starter for my children which was garlic bread which was described as being a large portion so that would have been ideal for my two children, Came back to say they had none so went with the fish bites and ordered our roast dinners we all had beef. The starters came soup very good - pepper pot good but could have been hotter and then the fish bites portion was small, 3 on the plate and these wee priced at £8.95 not good value at all when you consider that the dinners were two for £25. Dinners came, could have been hotter with more veg but you cant knock the taste they are so good!! Overcharged us as they hadn't done the two for £25 offer but were apologetic when my husband went back in to tell them. Just wish they would get it right because it is so good but needs attention and the cost of the starters is really over priced we wouldn't make that mistake again.
