Kings Arms, Greenwich

A typical traditional pub serving a very popular traditional menu and a good variety of real ale and lagers.
Al fresco dining in a picturesque court yard garden with large umbrellas and outdoor heating.
Tourist is the main trade throughout the day with a busy trade in the evening.

Do NOT let the menu fool you. I have worked for this chain of pub. It belongs to punch taverns. The Food, like the Yacht is nearly all microwaved. The burgers that you pay 8 quid for, is yes 90 second job in microwaved. I can honestly say that neither of these pubs do ‘Homemade’ food. That is a big FAT lie. They may say it but it is far from it. The pies come in frozen. The only stuff that hasn’t sat in the freezer for 2-3 Months is the specials on the bottom of the menu…..
Microwaved Roast Beef? mmmmm delicious. Especially when you see how it comes out of its packaging. definately not a place for food. The chicken comes in cooked yet in a slimy grease. That also gets cooked in the micro or oven till hot, again, itsalready been fricking cooked!
Most certainly is not quality food.
Nice beer garden yes.
Homely on the inside yes.
Other than that don’t expect a warmly welcome.

This pub isn’t too shabby. But I’ve never had a really brilliant night in here. It’s over the road from some student halls, but don’t let that put you off. They’re the halls for the ‘mature’ students, which surprisingly seems to make a difference. They drink ale.

The food here is pretty good. It’s homemade which is good, and they have a BBQ out back in the summer. Lots of seafood in the summer which is strange.

I don’t have feelings to this pub one way or the other. When I was a student it was great, but now I don’t ever come here. There’s nothing wrong with it, not at all. I just never seem to come here now.

The Kings Arms is a pleasant pub whether you're grabbing a light bite for lunch, stopping for an afternoon drink after a stroll through the adjacent Greenwich park, enjoying a hearty dinner or socialising over evening drinks.

The decor is traditional, but not in the lifeless cookie-cutter fashion of so many large, spacious family-oriented gastro-pubs. No; this place retains a sense of character. It is small, cosy and rustic, with fireplaces and quirky memorabilia on the walls.

It attracts a mixed crowd: older people, younger people, professionals, artsy types. This could well be because apart from a good atmosphere, they offer quality food. The menu has what you'd expect from any pub, but again, originality is retained. Why have a baked potato with beans when you can have one stuffed with cheese & mushrooms, or one with chicken and guacamole? While this isn't a bargain pub where you get two meals for 7 quid (go to Wetherspoons if that's what you're after), the prices are definitely reasonable.

All in all, a civilised but unpretentious place. You can talk over the music, they have coffee machines, the service is prompt and the one or two plasma screens that adorn the walls neither distract nor blare in your face, making it an ideal place for a lowkey gathering with friends.
