| We were looking for a Sunday lunch, preferably a carvery, in Ealing and the Kings Arms seemed to fit the bill. We weren't disappointed. The three meats for a tenner (just less, actually) with huge piles of veg was excellent value and both the Taylor's Landlord and the Pride were exactly as they should be. A harsh critic might think the beef was just a touch dry and chewy but what do you expect? it's a carvery; it's kept warm under glass. I've paid rather more for much worse. I can see that the place might seem a bit impersonal and lacking in character for an evening's drinking, (not so much that I won't give it a try, though) but it was fine for lunch. We'll definitely be going again the next time I don't feel like cooking on Sunday Royed - 31 Jan 2010 14:58 |
| I had been to the pub prior to it being done up and would never have gone out of my way for it but now this is the best pub in Ealing. Hidden away from the main drag, mainly a student free zone, good food, well laid out and reasonable selection of lager and beer. Its worth the effort to search it out. The staff are friendly, the pub clean and bright and compared to some other pubs in Ealing its well priced. The perfect place for a quiet drink, to watch the sport or spend the evening with friends. kaicat - 13 Nov 2009 15:04 |
| Have visited this pub a few times now, always early weekday afternoons and tend to stay until approximately 4 PM. At this time the pub is quiet and you can appreciate the spaciousness and nice decor. Have tried a London Pride which was OK but nothing special and a friend has had the Portugese lager (Sagres) and a Staropramen and preferred the latter. For nibbles we had cheesy garlic bread and spicy wedges, these were great and the bowl of wedges was huge. All in all a nice quiet pub at the time of day I have visited and a relief after being in the centre of Ealing Broadway and the shopping centre. Hard to believe that Starbucks is about two or three hundred yards away as this is hidden and seems a world away. nrj746 - 30 Sep 2009 12:34 |
| having abandoned the previous version of the kings arms some years ago as antideluvian (curly sandwiches, sticky carpets & proprietorial locals) we wandered into the new version on friday to see what the fuss was about. the main bar is still a very big room but the decor has been refreshed, there was a decent crowd in and a young musician warbling away in the corner. the atmosphere was pleasant. those propping the bar up made space for new comers and the grumpy local and new barmaid added much to the entertainment. wierdly, the dining room (with only 1 couple eating) had a telly showing live football. the food came in large, tastey portions that represented unusually good value for money for london. unfortunately what lets the pub down is the beer. the timothy taylor's landlord was more bitter than normal, the london pride was iffy and the guinness has the slightly nutty taste that you get when drinking it abroad. if the landlord(s) can up the quality of the beer the kings arms will become another landmark on our ealing beer wanderings. porcus_volans - 21 Sep 2009 09:15 |
| This is a nice looking pub (nice floors), so nice looking that it is slightly uninviting/unhomely. I still like this pub but would like it more if it wasnt overpriced. btw this pub is a bit overpriced. Normal_seasoned_drinker - 12 Sep 2009 20:40 |
