This is like heavens waiting room everyone looks like they are going to die. I would rather drink in a mortury

Beer is terrible, interior smells and the service is as unfriendly as the clientale. I can't work out why they bothered rebuilding it in 1930.

The Kings Arms is an old mans pub. It is shabby and dark and always looks like it could do with a bit of a dusting.
My overriding memory of visiting the pub during the day is the theme tune to "At the Races" - I am getting a bit depressed thinking about it right now.
The good thing about the pub is the people in there though. A great bunch of regulars (mainly irish and scottish) but quite a few old grumps as well.

Not a friendly boozer. If you are not a local face expect to be constantly stared at and "accidently" bumped into.

On the CAMRA National Inventory for its interior but unfortunately that is no guide as to how good the pub is. Also as it's been painted pink according to the picture above maybe its status on the Inventory is in question as well. Looked in there once but decided not to bother.

I do not like this pub, went in with my Asian friend who was called a 'black f**k' by some twat sat at the bar apparently just for existing. The beer was flat. Not suprisingly we made a hasty exit. Okay if you are Irish as everyone seemed to be otherwise it seems you are not welcome. On the plus side (must be fair) it was big and had a pool table. Thats about it!

I have to disagree with some of the others on this one, The beer lager & Guinness are all good, The pub is a bit dark and if you dont like horse racing dont go in on an afternoon. The staff and the locals (mostly Irish) are friendly, Dont know who the northern twats are ? Unless he is talking about the Scottish boys who are also friendly, Id put it down as a Mans pub

Just look at the photo above, it says so much...
I haven't actually had a drink in here so I can't comment on how the beer tastes or how the service reflects the pub, but I know a bunch of Northern twats who drink in here and I'd rather be set on fire and pissed on by George Best than spend my time socialising with them.
A female friend of mine, who was just passing through Hanwell, decided to stop here to use the toilet and grab a quick half and ended up having a pint thrown at them by one of the unsocialable's inside. Avoid! Unless you're from Hull or somewhere equally shit!

Having visited this pub a on a fairly regualr basis I would say the quality of the beer has deterioated a lot in the a lot 6 months.During weekend sporting events it is very noticeable.Eg No Life/Flat/ Fosters which is clearly not the amber nectar. Also Inferior tasting Guinness.It used to be a good quality old fashioned pub.My work colleagues and I now tend to avoid Friday & Sunday because they can be very slow to clean your table and sometimes have a don'tcare lazy service.Staff don't appear to have the imagination to switch off the televison and big screen which is often on a high volume and nobody is watching it.It has a loyal following of Irish customers.They seem happy to accept the below quality beer which is a pity.

Ordinary old fashioned pub.
Nothing special at all, but the beer was okay.
