Excellent food, popped in for a carvery with the family and wasn't disappointed, everything really well made and tasty plus friendly staff
July 2025
Really enjoyed a carvery on Wednesday with 5 people for my ??rd birthday. Although not a 'veggie' I decided to have nut roast which was very tasty. Staff very pkeasant and attentive. Parking easy, great location. Will certainly be going again soon. Thanks to all.
The Kings Arms Inn, East Stour Common has always been a pub and is set in rural Dorset, close to Shaftesbury.
The pub has been sympathetically extended and opened up to create a light contemporary environment, whilst maintaining a cosy snug around an open fire. Outside we have a beautiful large enclosed beer garden and a pétanque (French boules) pitch.
The Kings Arms Inn is food led, reflecting the seasons throughout our menus and offering something for everyone. The Sunday Carvery remains as popular as ever, as do our home cooked pub classics and world cuisine.
As a free house the Kings Arms is able to serve an interesting range of real ales, lagers, traditional & bottled ciders, wines, gins, rums and soft drinks.
