The Kings Arms, Oxford

The main entrance of the Kings Arms leads to an open plan seating area and a bar counter that sits along the rear to the right. To the left is seating adjacent to a kitchenette, bar snacks such as scotch eggs and pork pies are advertised. The bar counter wraps around to the rear were there is more seating before some steps that lead up to a cosy old living room with fireplace and rug that probably has a ghost, I imagine an old woman. The side door leads to a snug with small table and bar service from the corner of the counter. Sports shown on terrestrial channels are shown, such as the heavily advertised World Cup Rugby. I counted 12 hand pumps, six on the front and six on the back bar badged with identical cask. This is a Youngs pub so these were drawing London Original and London Special alongside Oxford Brewery’s Prospect, Let the Dragon See the Wolf and Trinity as well as Bath Ales Gem. The pub is historic and the service was polite, so even though I’m not a massive fan of Youngs pubs I did enjoy my stay and would pop back in if passing.
