| I didn’t think this place to be anything special and some of the other punters left a lot to be desired. It’s a large pub and the staff were nice enough, but the Ordinary and Deuchars were off leaving only Bombardier. Standard and premium lagers are also available, but I think I’ll walk past next time.

| This pub has lost the cosy character it once had. However, the staff were friendly, the beers were in good condition and the atmosphere was relaxing. I enjoyed my visit and so did my friends. Robin53 - 17 Mar 2009 18:46 |
| Oh dear Youngs what have you done to this once great pub? Have to agree with many comments below.The refurb just hasn't worked has it? A real shame TonyAle - 4 Feb 2009 12:59 |
| What a disappointment - after two decades the impact of Young's management has turned this from being a great pub into somewhere that may well find it hard to attract new customers. meurglys_iv - 26 Jan 2009 17:40 |
| Situated along Petty France and a few doors down from the old Passport Office is a rather enticing looking Young’s House called The Buckingham Arms. Clearly a slightly upmarket member of the brewery, I did enjoy my hour-or-so spent within on my recent weekday visit. Inside, chandeliers hang from the ceiling, the flooring is of the pine variety and a genuine sense of grandeur is quite evident. One of the most interesting aspects is the secretive, narrow corridor, which I presume was once an alleyway in a former life. Here is where I decided to hide away and sup my pint. The intimate setting will suit both the solitary drinker and those wishing to partake in the most private of conversations. Background music was pleasing aired at an unobtrusive volume, though was sadly a mix of the usual MOR pap. The clientele present were -as expected – made up of nearby office workers and tourists: overall, the atmosphere was one of content, relaxed enjoyment. On the beer front, the breweries usual offerings were on display – though the Young’s Special sadly had its clip turned. I opted for the reliable Ordinary (£2.75) and although the condition was acceptable, it was perhaps served a little too chilled. Draught Peroni is available for those lager drinkers who like to stray from the more regular options. The staff encountered were friendly and service was both prompt and efficient. So, to conclude: this is a decent enough drinking establishment and although I cannot envisage here being a regular haunt, it does get the prestigious HTM69 seal of approval. Well done!
