| The Venue should be renamed the Benefit Arms, as it’s the number stop off point after signing on. When you walk in the Kingsbury, it’s like walking into a Wild West saloon in 19th century, with everyone turning round to see the stranger in town. The service is sound enough; however, the selection is pretty limited. Real Ale enthusiasts will find it grim. The menu looks nice, but it is dangerous to judge a book by its cover, my first and last meal there had me studying the "Armitage Shanks" logo at home for far too long for my liking. The atmosphere is as clicky as Spanish maracas, with the locals in there looking like something from 'The Deliverance'. I once dared to sit on stool at one of the one of the high tables; you would have thought I was a mass murderer for the stares I encountered. The TV's are always on, even for non live sport, or simply non event sport. The World Curling Championship would get an airing in here no worries. It’s always had a Chav element, but this has escalated to scary heights since the closing of Hobgoblin. They have now turned the Kingsbury into a cross between the Southcourt Housing Estate and the Jeremy Kyle show. What doesn't help is that the Kingsbury doesn't seem to be loved by its owners. If this place was taken over by a hard working couple, willing to put the graft in for the long run, then this place has potential. It's a cracking sized place, a great location in the nicer part of town. Get rid of the scum giving this place a name of shame, and bring back the glory days when we had live bands once a month. In the interim, I'm afraid it's to be avoided at all costs. So therefore, do yourself a favour and take a 2 minute stroll to the Kings Head. pubwatch - 31 Aug 2011 19:00 |

| Well all I can say is WOW. The kingsbury serves great food and drinks. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the whole pub seems to have changed for the better since I last went in there. New management and staff seem to be having a great effect on the place. I would recommend this place to everyone. Keep up the great work guys. james1609 - 23 Aug 2011 18:02 |
| I have not been to the Litten Tree for two years, however walked past the over day, saw a couple off changes, so i thought i would go into the Kingsbury as it is called now. Wow the beers really tasted great and the food was unbelievable value for money. I dont know whats happened, however the pub seemed to have a great atmosphere and seemed a lot cleaner!Will definatly be visiting the pub more often! cocktail69 - 25 Jul 2011 19:14 |
