The Kings Arms - West Devon

I came here with some friends to enjoy a catch up having been unwell for a long period of time. I had not left the house for a long period of time so was excited to see some friends. I had no intention of drinking due to not being able to so I didn’t bring along any ID. I understand I should have brought along some ID incase and that is truly my fault. I tried to order a water and was refused then removed from the bar. When my friends asked why this had happened the bar staff (blonde woman) told them “she’s on drugs” and proceeded to tell them that my eyes looked “too big”. This brought me to tears, I had been discriminated against purely on how I looked. I went there hoping for a calm catch up with friends and instead I was rudely accused of being on drugs by the bar staff, very unprofessional and the bar lady even made comments about my eyes to strangers who came on spoke to me later on outside whilst sat alone. The woman behind the bar even made sure I was barred from every pub in okehampton that evening so I wasn’t allowed entry anywhere else. As someone who has to be very careful with their health and has really struggled to get out the house, this was very disappointing and completely unacceptable. It has left feeling very self conscious and disgusted by the behaviour of “professional bar staff”.

Nice place, good food, little atmosphere. Has a nice beer garden with gazibo and dog-friendly. Would come again.

Great place for family lunch with kids after a hike at nearby Meldon Reservoir. Fantastic value and great pub lunch. Staff were all really friendly and we enjoyed the large pub garden. Good honest pub with tasty food at great prices. Highly recommended.

My wife and I visited for lunch. Covid restrictions applied fair enough. We found a table and waited for ten minutes, expecting able service. I went to the counter and was told Sit down I 'll come to you. Another ten minutes, she arrived. We asked her for a menu and was told we had to go to another counter for that. A simple solution to indicate Food orders here or Find a table would have helped. We went elsewhere.

Lovely staff Popped in on a random weekend away Was welcomed by staff and were very friendly Defo return
