The Kings Arms, Winkleigh

We went in to the Kings Arms rather hungry, as we entered we could smell the wonderful aroma of "Fish & Chips" as we walked by a customer with his generous portion of Beer Battered Cod & Chips �8.95 I knew thats what I wanted, my dinner guest also opted for the fish but cooked with out the batter... We ordered the food with the very pleasant bar staff, also asking for a side order of creamy mushrooms but with the addition of Stilton melted into the sauce, mmmm we then sat at our table and waited for our meal, the bar man then put sold out sign on the fish obviously a popular dish today or was it bad planning about 20 min wait our food arrived served by this very funny looking (well for want of a better word) waiter at first glance it appeared fine we were asked if we wanted any sauces , and asked for tartar sauce, (whick took an age to arrive)I was about to cut into the fish when I noticed it was already in about five small well battered pieces, obviously the end bits from everyone elses dinners, then on closer inspection of my dinner guest plate the portion size was that of a child and the Saute Potatoes were burnt we complained to the funny little waiter but we could not now eat this meal so sent it back, we were offered an alternative but just didnt really want to have anything else there, the creamy mushrooms tasty just had a small amount of stilton sprinkled on the top as an after thought,we did not eat our main course at all but they still charged us �8.95 for one meal As we were still rather hungry we went to Chumleigh Tandoori and wow fantadstic meal cooked to perfection with good service......and the Chef came out to see if we enjoyed our meal
