Very quiet for a Friday night - just me and a couple of golf bores in the bar (full marks to the very pleasant barmaid who did not once betray the ennui that the endless one-upmanship must have inspired in her). Low-ceilinged bar with a grubby carpet and peeling doors looked straight through the bar (couldn't see a gantry) to a lounge that reminded me of a working men's club from the 1970s. Beer excellent - had a pint each of Woodforde's Wherry, Black Sheep Bitter and Doom Bar. The foundations for a decent pub are there (barmaid and beer are faultless) - all it needs is a lick of paint, some carpet shampoo and the elimination of an irritating bing-bong noise that soundtracked the evening.

Great Pub. Good Real Ale,Quality Food, Tea Coffee served all day,Staff and Barbra made me welcome.very pleasent I will return

Very smart interior. A decent selection of real ales ( I had the Woodforde Wherry). Attentive barman made sure I got served OK, it was a busy night. Some of the customers were a bit noisy but they were friendly. From an outsider, it appears that the local perception of this pub dates back to earlier less salubrious times?

This was the forth pub I tried on Thursday trying to get some lunch.
On entering, something didn't seem right. It did not feel very "pubby" - if that is a word.
From the limited menu, prices and foreign staff it felt yuppie. Having now read the previous reviews I'm not sure if my first impressions were right.
As a last resort I would make my way to the Royal Standard (not that I have been in there before).

One time I was passing this gods-forsaken place and a local Fennite burst out the front door, wandered into the middle of the road and started mouthing off to the traffic. A typical day at the Kings Arse. It always looked condemned from the outside...

Excellent place to go now that it has been fully redeveloped and refurbished to a very high standard.The riff raff and feral scum that used to go in the pub have all been got rid of and the pub always has 4 real ales and a good wine selection.The food is locally sourced and is really good value too.I can thoroughly recommend this pub for good ale,good food and the landlady is always very welcoming and talkative!

Went in there 15 August.Band playing very loud in the back bar there were only10 folk in there and 6 in the front bar. Only one real ale and it wasnt good to taste probably through lack of drinking.....Difficult to judge as the place wasnt busy.

It's had it's ups and downs but last time I was in, last week it seems to be on an upper. Some decoration done, seems to have got rid of most of the 'clowns'. Everything going for it if the management can be strong and keep the tossers out they'll have a really nice pub.

A classic case of being in a good position with a good selection of beers, but sadly let down by the way the place is managed and the cleanliness of the place. Knowm locally as the "Beirute Arms", but despie that a good place to drink as you will always find someone to talk with.
