The Kings Arms Inn, East Stour

Definitely wants to be a restaurant rather than pub. Food good but overpriced for frozen veg. Bar staff not very friendly unless you are in the Saga Brigade. Whole place has been done up to a nice standard but for some reason they have omitted to sort out the frankly horrid toilets.

The Marston Inn, Marston Magna

Not a place to visit if you simply want a drink. The landlady was uninterested, she was writing on the chalk board and just grunted as we walked by. I assume it was the landlord who served us, our first drink. On trying to get a second drink I stood at the Bar over 10 minutes while 'Speedy' dawdled along behind the bar. I thought I was just about to be served when he spotted someone wanting to order food, someone who had just came in, he served them leaving us standing. I waited some more minutes, then decided to leave. This is obviously a food pub now. Don't go if you are thirsty. We sat in the bar area, they had music playing, competing with the News channel on the TV. All in all not a pleasant visit.
