More than just a pub

We have created a team that share our vision for the Kings Arms. Friendly, kind, chatty, helpful, all the attributes you would want from your local and your precious time away from home.  Its not just a pub, its a place for people to gather, whatever the reason.

Come and see for yourself

Pop in….have a drink, a chat and a look around the place…next time come for a meal or stay over. We look forward to seeing you!

It’s not just a pub.
It’s your pub.

Fancy joining the team?

We’re always on the lookout for friendly faces who love food, people, and a bit of pub banter. Head over to our Careers Page to see what roles we’ve got on the go – and maybe even start your next chapter with us.

There’s something special about a stay at the Kings.

Each of our bedrooms is individually designed with antique furniture, textiles, prints and brimming with character…..no two rooms are the same.

Recharge in the picturesque village of Hawkshead….starting with breakfast and then spend the day exploring the villages, lakes and mountains of the glorious Lake District National Park.
A great day spent hiking up Great Dodd, off-road driving….a pint and dinner at The Kings…..👌

You’ll never guess who stopped by last week….!

We had a very special guest staying at our sister cottages - former England rugby star Will Greenwood!

From the Kings defender pulling up outside to a well-earned glass of fizz after a walk on the fells, then heading over to the King’s Arms for dinner and a pint! 

Doesn’t get much better than good company and the kind of spaces that make you want to stay a while.

DM for more info on our sister cottages or click the link in our bio to dine with us.
