| This gastropub was slightly better than I anticipated. Taylor Landlord, Sharps Doom Bar, Butcombe Bitter & Surrey Hills Ranmore Ale were the ales on offer. Both Stowford Press and Aspalls ciders are served. The young bar staff were very friendly. Sitting at the bar, I didn't feel too out of place. But this is more of an eating establishment than a pure drinking place. On a Friday evening, it was fairly busy. All tables in the restaurant were taken and diners were spilling over to the bar and the outdoor patio at the front and side. Worth a visit if in Kingston. blue_scrumpy - 4 Jul 2011 18:15 |
| I've just returned from a lovely night in the Canbury Arms. Our drinks (although slightly overpriced) were served efficiently by the friendly staff, and my husband was very pleased with the quality of the beer. I think this is one pub which we will certainly try again! marilynmonroe - 30 Jun 2011 22:37 |
| Ferrarigirl. You think £3.20 for a pint of real ale AFTER discount is great value?! Nah. lodemai85 - 5 May 2011 00:47 |
| Cor, Ferrari girl an amazing review that a member of Canbury Arms staff would struggle to improve upon to paint themselves in the best light. Indeed I note you're only other contribution to BeerInTheEvening is about a year ago with a similarly (self?) promotional piece about your...oops sorry...the Canbury Arms. Does the pub no favours you know...quality pubs don't need to post faux reviews to attract custom, word of mouth and happy returning customers will do that. BlackCrowe - 17 Feb 2011 17:41 |
| Having read some of the reviews below and having frequented the pub for over 5 years, I sense sour grapes from some visitors. My experience (and that of my ale drinking friends) is one of complete satisfaction. The Canbury is thriving, always busy with a warm ambience, attentive staff, and a kitchen that produces food that is second to none in this pleasant, leafy part of Kingston. In addition to the superb wines they have a great selection of beers and real ales. I have been informed by the landlord that real ale sales constitute 60% of their overall beer sales, they sell between 9-18 gallons of each of their 5 ales on offer every week. The beer is fresh and well chilled and when they have hit the last pint in the barrel during a busy service, have always exchanged it without fuss if not up to scratch. As a regular customer who is signed up to their loyalty card I benefit from 10% of every purchase being credited to my card which makes a pint of ale just £3.20 which I believe is great value. In addition to the loyalty card they have many other weekly offers available. I don't think the landlord can be blamed for the ever increasing duty, VAT and price rises by the government and drinks industry. The back street pub has actually become a favourite destination for many discerning drinkers and diners and I'm sure the local residents would disagree that this part of Kingston is 'not particularly nice'. A lot can be said for the multiple awards the pub has received, its obvious popularity within the local community and the thousands of pounds they have helped raise for many local good causes. I would suggest that if you ever have an issue with the service provided raise it with the helpful staff. My experience is that they will move mountains to rectify a problem. Well done the Canbury Arms - Keep up the great work. ferrarigirl - 21 Jan 2011 15:23 |
