Perfectly located on the river by Sandford lock, the Kings Arms is unbeatable on a summer's afternoon. OK so it's a Chef and Brewer, so the food is mass produced, the interior much knocked about and the service dreadful on a sunny Sunday lunchtime when half the world turns up but you don't go there for that. Just sit with a pint or two - it's Youngs and Wells related beers in good condition - and watch the boats going in and out of the lock, the ducks and swans scrambling after crumbs thrown by the kids and the gorgeous views over the meadows. Well worth a trip out.
