Kingston Arms Freehouse

Welcome

In the years since it was 'restored', The Kingston Arms has made quite a name in the neighbourhood - popular during the day with people who work nearby, and bustling at night with punters in for a few drinks or something to eat.

What's more, several publications have spotted us, including the Observer Food Monthly where we won 3 awards; ‘Best Cheap Eats’, ‘Best Sunday Lunch’ and ‘Best Place to Drink’ (with Cambridge Blue), in East Anglia.

Customers and critics all point out how well the combination of traditional pub, award winning ales and first rate cooking works in this cosy venue where equal attention is paid to the range of beers, the wines and of course the daily changing menu.

In short, the Kingston is a great pub, with good food, fantastic ales and wines and a relaxed informal atmosphere, perfect for cosy first dates, business lunches or boozy get-togethers!

Our Ethos

We are committed to local sourcing, traceability, caring for the environment, ensuring the happiness of customers and staff and achieving the highest quality in everything we do.

To that end, all our food is either locally sourced, or we buy it from high end, reputable food specialists (Cambridge Cheese Co, Direct Seafood, among others). We scour the country looking for quality ales, and we buy our whiskies, brandy's, etc from smaller, independent suppliers.

"Different ales old since May 2000... Countless!" :-)

And unlike some other 'real ale' pubs, we also have the Cask Marque award, and have done so for years!

The Kingston... still the best ales, and the best food! And cheaper than most (if not all!) of our competitors!

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!).
