Re-opening Q&A's
Everything you wanted to know, and have asked
Firstly, we wish to welcome everyone back to the newly refurbished Kings Arms. This has been a long journey for our family and we are as excited as you are to get going. This is a lovely pub, with lots of history and I'd like to answer general questions that you have asked, or may ask.

Our Story
Matt, Tim, Sharon & Marc
First and foremost, this will be a family run business - with family values, and high standards. We aim to offer high quality products which are sensibly priced and with the community in mind. Our family has its roots in the South East of England, however our draw to the North, after spending many holidays here has lead us to taking over the Kings Arms. This picturesque part of the country drew us here and we are so pleased to have found this business venture to start. We hope you will give us a chance, and in return we will make The Kings Arms the best it can be. For our locals, we know that a new owner can bring suspicion and apprehension, but I am sure this will fade quickly when you enter the pub you love and meet us.
​
Q&A...
Q: What date will the Kings Arms re-open?
A: We are doing a 'soft' opening on Wednesday the 11th of September, to make sure tills, pumps and everything else is working as it should. We're having our grand opening on the 21st September with live music from the Manic Mondays and a free hog roast from 6:30pm, served by Spitting Pig. Please click on the events page for more details and to see what's planned.
​
​
Q: Are you a dog friendly pub?
​
A: We welcome well behaved dogs in the Saloon bar (turning left as you walk in) and also outside in the Beer Garden. If your beloved doggie asks you for water, and/or treats, just ask one of the staff as we have facilities for lovely doggies.
​
​Q: Can I bring my children to the pub?
​
A: We welcome all well behaved kids and would love to see families enjoy themselves at the Kings Arms. This is your community Pub and family values are at the heart of our mission.
​
Q: I have been barred by the previous owner. Am I allowed back?
​
A: Everyone is allowed a second chance with us. We will treat everyone we see with face value and without prejudice. However if we find any behaviour that is contrary to our high standards you will be asked to leave and face a minimum ban of six months. We obviously take a zero policy to drugs of any kind. If you are caught by us (or CCTV) dealing, handling or taking drugs, you will be barred for life and reported to the police with video and photo evidence. Similarly, if you are aggressive or abusive to staff or customers, we reserve the right to bar you from The Kings Arms.
​
​Q: What draught beer/cider/ales do you offer?
​
A: Our selection is as follows - Birra Moretti, Carling, Coors, Cruzcampo, Guinness, Inches Cider, John Smiths and Old Mout. We will also be offering an EXTENSIVE range of bottled beers, spirits, wines and cocktails, as well as a no-alcohol range.
Q:What is the pub telephone number?

We are not resident in the pub whilst the refurbishment is ongoing. However, we plan a new broadband and landline number upon entry. Once this has been agreed, we will of course publish this to both the website and social media pages.
​
​Q: Will you be doing food?
​
A; Short answer? Yes, in due course. We are having the commercial kitchen deep-cleaned, and are looking at what we can offer our wonderful customers. We will let everyone know, once we are able to provide a food offering. Please allow us some time to look at what we can offer. Of course, all updates on food will be announced on the website and social media.
​
Q: Are you hiring staff?
​
A: Again, short answer yes. We will be happy to look at any CV and if the person fits we will take you forward to the next stage. Any applicant will need to fit in with our required hours.
​
Q: Can you accommodate my Hen, Stag, Wake, or similar event?
​
A: Yes, we are happy to provide a function area for personal events. If you head to the "About us" page you'll see a contact us area to make any enquiries. We will do our absolute best to accommodate any events you wish to hold.
​
Q: You don't have a product I enjoy drinking? Can I order this?
​

Q: What entertainment do you have at the pub?
​
A: In addition to Sky and TNT Sports and the Racing Channel on multi-screens, we will be offering electronic dartboards and fruit machines. If you have an idea for any other games you'd like us to add, then please let any of us know.
​
Q: What kind of refurbishment is happing at the pub at the moment. Will we see a difference?
​
A: This is an extensive refurbishment and a complete overhaul. The pub is being completely upgraded by our partner, Punch Pubs. All areas of the building are being ripped out and replaced, including toilets, bar area and customer area. This has been an expensive undertaking and we hope all our customers will enjoy the new venue. For the Beer Garden, we'll be putting personal investment into this ready for next Summer. Watch this space. I'd like to thank Punch Pubs for their support in making this happen.
Q: Will you be doing coffee, teas etc?
