| Just back from a night out in this place. My friend who has a medical condition preventing him from drinking alcohol was mocked by a group of chavs. Said group of chavs turn out to be very good friends with the barstaff, so that's alright then!? Toilets were apparently last cleaned during the middle ages. Decent selection of real ales. If you don't mind being taunted by a load of baseball cap wearing chavs with links to the bouncers / bar staff, then this might be an OK pub. Alternatively, if you like a quiet pint of real ale without having to put up with a bunch of abusive knobs, you might want to look elsewhere. Punisher - 13 Feb 2011 01:49 |
| A decent pub. The range of real ales doesn't seem to vary as much as at other pubs, but they're well kept. Worth including on a pub crawl of Hitchin. hitchinsampler - 4 Jul 2009 14:13 |
| Nice enough boozer that has been run by the same landlord since the year dot. Decor hasn't changed either but do not let that put you off. Friendly staff and decent range of ales. Just make sure that you are away from the place by around 9pm on a Friday and Saturday night when the 'lager boys' and shot-drinking crowd barge their way in for the extended drinking!

| Good atmosphere and surroundings. Tried the London Pride which was very nice!!!! multiplexor - 8 Mar 2009 17:32 |
| The Kings Arms is an opportunity missed in my opinion. It could do with a major overhaul to drag it kicking and screaming into the 21st.century. It is nice enough...the staff are always friendly and efficient having to serve behind a small bar and the atmosphere is always good. But it has some odd touches. The conservatory is nothing more than a badly constructed lean to which needs pulling down and although the outside area is great for smokers it is not the prettiest of outlooks. A bit of money thrown at it would work wonders. They have some nice prints on the walls though...they seem to take up all available wall space and make for an interesting half hour perusing through them (if art is your thing).
