About us

Welcome to the Hospital Arms!

Once upon a time, this very spot was a well-kept secret among doctors and hospital staff, earning the nickname Ward 9—a clever way to keep things under wraps from unsuspecting patients. When the hospital moved in the 1980s, it was time for a fresh start, and the pub became the Tap & Spile. But some places are meant to come full circle, and in the late 1990s, we proudly reclaimed our historic name: The Hospital Arms.

Today, we carry on the tradition of great drinks, good company, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re here for a quiet pint, a lively chat, or a hearty meal, you’re in good hands.

Cheers to history, hospitality, and a great time at the Hospital Arms!.
