Are you boycotting the Valentines' Day hoopla? Or just looking to drink away from the mobs of sickeningly sweet couples? Go out and celebrate your singlehood with your friends at The Kingston!

All are welcome, even those in 'loving relationships', but you are not to say "I love you" to each other even once through the evening! :-)

And what do we mean by 'celebrate your singlehood?

This:

Double up for a pound! (On selected house spirits).

Cava @ £2.10/glass!

Table Reservation Policy

It has come to our attention that it's a common belief that we don't let reserved tables be used.

We aren't sure how this became a common rumour, but it's just that - a rumour. And an inaccurate one at that. We in NO WAY forbid our customers to drink at reserved tables. We simply ask them to vacate the table at the reserved time,

To summarise: by all means drink at our reserved tables, and depending on the time, eat too! Just be prepared to vacate at the appropriate time.

(And what with us squeezing in even more tables for 'walk-in's', and our lovely, large covered garden, vacating a table shouldn't be a problem!).

Thursday Evening Curry Club!

We are pleased to announce a new food attraction at The Kingston - Curry Club Night! Every Thursday evening we will offer a range of curries (meat, fish and veggie options), all homemade with the finest ingredients. This will be in addition to our normal menu!

Range of Bottled Beers!

We now offer a range of bottled beers! Including foreign beers, English ales, etc!

Recession Bustin' Ales, Wines and Menu!

We realise that the recession is well and truly here! As a result we have been feverishly working away on some recession proof options. These include a recession food menu, a range of recession beers, and recession wines.

We will always have our core Kingston options, but in addition we will offer a range of recession options!

Recession Ales

Our Recession Range of ales (including 'Recession be Damned', which has gained some attention), is £1.95-£2.30 a pint!

We also offer a range of other Recession Ales at similar prices!

Recession Wines

We offer a Recession Busting Red wine and a White wine, cheaper than our house wines!

Recession Menu

Starters - £2.99, Mains - £4.99!

Click here for menu.

·

And 2-3 'Recession Ales', all of which will be around £1.90-£2.20/pint!

To summarise: Our Recession Options will NOT replace our normal offerings, but our normal offerings will ALSO be reduced!

For a tenner, you can come to The Kingston, have a hearty meal, a few drinks, and still get change!

Live Music Every Monday Evening!

Every Monday Will and his band, The Late Risers, play 'Acoustic Country Blues, Rhythm & Roots!'.

Monthly Beer Festival - Update

Unfortunately, despite a small but very vocal and supportive minority who want us to continue the festivals throughout the cold weather, we simply cannot. We would like nothing better than to carry these on, but there simply isn't enough support during the cold weather.

But as soon as the Spring arrives, the festivals will be back! :-)

Sunday Roasts have Returned!

Due to us being in the colder months, we have brought back our award winning Sunday roasts!

BBQ's will return in the Spring/Summer!

Note - Walled & Covered Garden

For those who don't know The Kingston, we have a walled garden, with canopies, soft seats, blankets and heaters. And it's open all year round.

Beer Garden Blankets!

We have tried various methods of heating our garden during the colder months over the years. We have settled on an electric heater, and last year we introduced chimenea’s. You can’t beat a real fire!

This year, in addition to the above, we are introducing blankets!

Using the Kingston as a Venue!

We have held photographic and art exhibitions in the past. And we have recently held the 'Hanin Palestinian Cafe' event (Palestinian food, arts & crafts), which was very successful. This has led us to resurrecting the Kingston Arms Venue Service. If you want to use the Kingston as a venue for an exhibition, event, etc, don't hesitate to get in touch!

'Hairy John'

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of 'Hairy John' over Christmas.

He was a staunch supporter of The Kingston, and was a most regular of regulars! He used to shamble in at opening time, correct our spelling mistakes on our boards, was indecently bright, and was one of life's more honourable people. He was an eccentric - and we loved him for it.

"Say not in grief he is no more but live in thankfulness that he was" - Hebrew proverb.
