The Kings Arms

I'll be honest, I have driven past this pub a hundred times and never contemplated going in. I suppose the Sky Sports banners and football shirt-wearing punters smoking outside put me off a bit. Rowdy sports pubs are not my scene. But I popped in last week to watch the rugby and realised I have been missing out. Really nice atmosphere, bright and airy room, well decorated, very friendly staff, good ale, good food.... not much more one could ask for. There were a lot of TVs showing Sky Sports and the commentary playing over loudspeakers throughout most of the pub but it wasn't excessive and it's big enough to move away from the sports if that's not your bag. I will definitely pop back in one day.

I want to preface this by saying we walked in and took a look around but didn’t end up staying. We left because some patrons made homophobic remarks to me. This is obviously not the bars fault so I left 5 stars. Ultimately I just want to post this in case those two Neanderthals can somehow gather some brain power to use primitive tools, like a stick, to access the internet. I’ve heard they have great cocktails here - would love to have tried them but the two construction workers were the deterrent. It looked very clean and the patio looked very spacious and nice.
