Graham Coombs left this review about The Kings Arms
Reputedly one of the oldest pubs in the town and certainly none the worse for that. A good pub feel with a suitably jumbled layout of rooms and friendly staff. The only slight negative is the obligatory Shepherd Neames beers, which you either love or hate but have no alternative to. Luckily I am happy to drink them and they seemed well kept.

A Shepherd Neame tied house in a very old building,the interior is worth a squint.Lots of exposed timbers,a low ceiling,good wood panelling,quarry tiled floor,up a step to a dark floor board area with dining type tables but you can drink anywhere.Pub grub menu.
Occasional live music and other events so it does have a community feel.Ale options on my trip from SN were Spitfire,Master Brew,Whitstable Bay Pale and seasonal Go for Gold (NBSS 3).
I'm not keen on Sheps ales so I won't rush back but there is some reason to have a quick look.

Dorking's oldest pub on the main congested A25 one-way system through the town. It's a Shepherd Neame pub, but look beyond that and you will find a nice traditional pub with low beams and several different sections including a narrow front bar and slightly larger room at the rear, all suitable for both drinking and dining.
4 Shepherd Neame ales were on. Spitfire is a regular. Also on were Master Brew, Whitstable Bay & a seasonal beer called It's Coming Home. I tried the latter, which was drinkable. Although my tastebuds were still affected by the strong zesty nature of the beer I had had in Cobbett's just up the road.
Another dog friendly pub. I'm not sure I've done a crawl before where I've found dogs in the majority of pubs!
