Pleasant environment with excellent and helpful staff. Beers can be pricey these days but an excellent range of craft beers. Nice pint of neck oil (Beavertown) too. Enjoy.

Great dog friendly pub, with excellent food, the staff were excellent attentive and helpful, the pub quiz on the Tuesday was great fun and very well run. The beer garden is also excellent. Over all a great experience well worth s visit.

I’ve been to the kings arms a couple times now both for drinks and also for food. The staff are very welcoming and always take the time to recommend different drinks and dishes when I’ve been unsure what to order. The food itself is great and Is always leaving me wanting to come back.

When planning an overnight stay between jobs I found this little gem of a place on booking dot com. Firstly the room, i stayed in no.7, part of the new building. It was decorated and furnished to an amazingly high standard, and was so comfortable. One of the reasons I chose this place was for the desk, I had 2 hours work at my laptop to complete before morning. I had dinner at the restaurant, amazing pub food, fresh and homemade. The Adnams beer was kept well too. Breakfast was equally as good as the dinner, and it arrived pretty quick after ordering. Overall I hope to go back if work ever comes in over in the East.
