Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The King's Arms

Substantial canalside pub / restaurant with Innkeepers Lodge rooms. Semi-traditional look in all the various seating / dining areas in an overall L-shaped layout (plus a rear conservatory extension). Understandably, also has a large patio beer garden by the waterway, and that was quite busy on a sunny Monday evening. Purity's Pure UBU and Pale Brummie (£5.95) available from two of the three handpumps. As an aside, there was a particularly unhelpful manager on duty who put me right off buying a meal (which had been my intention).

M&B seem to be de-branding their mediocre Vintage Inns, usually into their externally unbranded Country Pubs and Dining brand. That's doesn't make them any better, though they're usually OK in the summer when you don't have to spend long inside. This one is typical of the genre. Most of the usable seating is given over to dining, please wait to be seated for your reheated food service meal. If you just want a drink you may be stuck with high tables or low sofas, tough if you are disabled. There are tiled floors, fake beams and split logs in piles to feed the invisible open fires. I will concede it's smart and tidy enough, if you think vomit grey paint is smart, but still just wrong.

On a nice afternoon you can sit outside by the canal, and enjoy a decent pint of Purity UB or Gold, or Doombore if you must.

But there are a couple class-leading pubs a few miles away. What are you doing here?

An upmarket offering from Vintage Inns so you know what you're likely to find.
The exterior is traditional but has been added to and the interior has been completely refurbished but, as with most Vintage Inns, it provides a comfortable place for a beer or some food.
Again, as with many of the type, the bar area is distinct from the restaurant with plenty of room to settle and enjoy a drink without feeling pressured into eating and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
The restaurant at the rear backs onto a terrace, garden and the canal making this a very pleasant spot in the summer.
Food was at the upper end of the Vintage range in both price and quality but I enjoyed it felt that the quality was worth the price.
Beers on were Purity UBU, Pedigree and Doom Bar with the first two being in good condition.
I'd happily return for food and beer ideally on a sunny day by the canal.
