Kings Arms, Penryn

Old-fashioned inn with an impressive porticoed façade and a very traditional bar at the front. Side dining area in a similar style, and rather larger rear bar with two pool tables, table football and a stage (although the second counter was not open when I visited). Also still operates as a hotel too. Unfortunately, only one of the three handpumps was in use, and - disappointingly, given various bits of Skinners breweriana about the place (including two of the pump handles) - the only real ale on offer was Courage Directors (£1.70, half).

This reputedly haunted pub has been a grade 11 listed building since 1971,and a pub for around 650 years,although on entry there is not much evidence to suggest this apart from the old stone fireplace.The pub is quite larger than first appears,with there being a stage and dance area down a few steps to the left of the bar.the usual suspects of the Cornish casks were on with the Dartmoor being the pick of the bunch.
