The King’s Arms is a newly refurbished 18th-century pub and inn in the heart of Melksham.

With 13 comfy and modern ensuite rooms and a warm welcome, we offer the ideal base for exploring Melksham, nearby historic Corsham, Bradford-on-Avon, Bath, and the stunning Wiltshire countryside.

On the menu, our focus is locally sourced produce, seasonal ingredients and pub classics, plus a cracking selection of Butcombe beer and a cocktail menu behind the bar.

Relax in our cobbled beer garden, with parasols and heated areas in the winter – the perfect al fresco spot for a refreshing pint or a bite to eat.

We’re dog-friendly, family-friendly, and happy to cater for both large and small groups. We have two private dining rooms, ideal for weddings, meetings and parties.
