This is a hidden treasure to me .. i am astounded I never knew of it . I had Ribeye tonight and I have to say the best I've eaten . This food is cooked with love and passion, and the quality of the food was all in the taste . what more can you want if it's all cook to excellence..
Now for the atmosphere, it was quiz night and our table was in the middle and we were the only ones not in the quiz and I loved it . We were welcomed like we lived there . This is a pub that has true locals and offers the same hospitality as if you were a local . The locals made you feel local and welcomed . There are not many pubs like this .
The staff .. brilliant.. can relate to all wave lengths and ages I guess. This pub is a must and shows true local spirit ..
I had a successful free house that served excellent food .. I know a good pub when I find one .
I also believe they see your dogs as family and they to are welcome which is the icing on the cake . Such well behaved dogs my I add.
Relaxed atmosphere in a family-friendly pub. There were plenty of helpful and attentive staff. The food we had was plentiful and excellent, my steak being cooked the way I like. The only slight downside is that the pub is tied to Shepherd Neame so sells only their beer, which is not my favourite and difficult to get away from in Kent.
Beautiful location and options to eat on the beach or in the restaurant. Obviously the menu is slightly more sophisticated indoors but in essence the restaurant means in the pub. We had a lovely relaxing and tasty meal. Staff are attentive and friendly,prices reasonable and the premises just quirky enough to be interesting and comfortable. Definitely worth a visit.
Lovely pub on the beach with good food and a decent range of beers and wines. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great view from the bench tables outside the pub.
A beautiful pub located on the Kingsdown coast, perfect spot to eat or grab a drink after a lovely walk down the beach.
Very friendly service, checking up to ask if everything is good.
The ambience is just perfect, if you imagine now what an old coastal pub would be like, you'll still be pleasantly surprised by the interior of the Zetland Arms.
As for food, I had the locally caught beer battered cod. Usually when I eat battered fish, the batter ends up overwhelming or too rich, but here, it's a beautiful balance that allows you to enjoy the absolute most of your meal.
Definite spot to return to!
Ordered 2 adult meals and 3 children's meals and sat outside in the sunshine. Staff were very friendly, food came very quickly and was delicious. Beautiful location on the beach. Will definitely be coming back again :)
Such a great place to eat. Right on the sea front and with additional tables outside we watched the spitfires soaring over the white cliffs.
Right on the beach, wonderful view, and a lovely pint, what's not to love. Only had a yummy sausage roll from bar so can't comment, giving benefit of doubt.

My food selection was a solid 4 ⭐️ sorry I missed the photo of the starter and seasonal beer. The fire was a welcome addition as day bitter cold.
A truly unique pub, in a wonderfully unique location. On the beach in the picturesque village of Kingsdown, a short walk from Kingsdown Holiday Village, this beautiful old, perfectly kept, traditional pub sells a wide variety of beers, wine etc. as well as really tasty pub food. The food is a notch above your average pub grub, so for this reason, I would recommend booking, as it is very popular. Try the fish and chips. We love sitting out the front watching the sea but equally love the small, well protected garden at the rear, when the wind gets up.
We visited on a warm late summer evening and given it was a weekend the place was buzzing. Still, we secured a nice table outside and ate from the beach menu - a mixture of seafood and pub favourites. Food was well cooked and tasty but the burger was a little bland. Beer was excellent and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Will revisit later in the year to sample the "indoor" menu which has received good reviews from locals we have spoken to.
Great pub! Very friendly and good for groups with indoors and outdoors seating. The fish was delicious plus good beers and ciders, vegetarian options too
