The Kings Arms, Oakham

A large and friendly place which feels pretty aged all round and is located in a small village, sideways onto the road. Three rooms over a number of levels and there’s quite a bit of character too. The owner chatted to us about the chickens which we discovered scratching around in a coop in the car park. Four ales on; Grainstore Cooking, two from Black Sheep, Bass (good nick) alongside a cider (Kicking Rambler). Of note is a blackboard with a Rutland map drawn on, highlighting the pubs local suppliers. We were quite charmed by this one. 7.5

The Kings Arms is a decent looking pub that is sideways onto the road. When you enter the bar is facing you and there is one longish narrow room with steps down to a lower level near the road,there is also a large fire in the middle of the room but this looked unused. There were four handpumps on the bar but two had their clips turned round i had a drink of Grainstore Cooking and this was very nice the other beer was Pedigree. This was a fairly comfortable pub to have a few drinks in.
