In A Different Class

The Kings Arms Stoborough is in a different class for quality of food and beer than any other pub in Wareham.

Excellent Village Pub Atmosphere

Don't get this place confused with the Kings Arms in Wareham which is just along the road (about half a mile or so). The Stoborough Kings Arms is primarily an eaterie, The chefs do well, it has to be said, but why, oh why, do you have to ponce it up?!! The good thing, however about this pub is that munchers are to a great extent segregated from the other pub users, so the place still has some atmosphere as a village pub. This is excellent. Also, no smells of cooking emanating from the kitchen and no funereal black wearing bar staff constantly flitting past the bar area with plates of food for those who wish their clothes sizes to rapidly change to those associated with Americans.

The beer was OK, but like all other pubs owned by Enterprise Inns where the tenant has to contribute to their profits by having to pay a bounty to Enterprise of well over £100 per barrel more than either a free house publican or a normal brewery tenant - for no benefit - it was overpriced. Maybe one of the reasons that pubs are doing more and more food and raising the prices of their retail beers is because the blood sucking Pubcos such as Enterprise and their cabal have sucked so much of the lifeblood from the British pub that there's nothing left for the poor old publican. You see, the PUbcos like Enterprise even put meters in the beerlines of pubs to spy on their tenants. They can tie tenants to beers bought through them at super-inflated prices but they still haven't found a way to tie their tenants to food ingredients - but, you bet they're probably thinking about how to do it right now, just like the best parasites evolve to suck even more blood from their host. Anyway, I'm digressing - probably because I was shocked at the price of the beer at this pub'. The beer was good and the atmosphere generally jovial, but I wouldn't say I'd make a pub like this my local - mainly because it's such an eaterie.

Beer Is Always In Excellent Condition

At least 3 interesting real ales, that change regularly. Beer is always in excellent condition. Food is usually good. Beer is typically higher priced than other pubs in the area, but this is a good pub.

Presently Our Favourite Pub

Lots of atmosphere, very friendly, good food and lots of room to park. In winter it's cosy and in summer it's lovely to sit outside and look across the fields. Best of all our old dog is made very welcome inside in the public bar when we go for a meal. Specials board is always different and interesting.

Best Pub In Wareham For Food

This pub is by far the best pub in Wareham for food. Real good pub food, large portions, lovely fresh vegetables, and good selection of desserts. The staff are happy and friendly. Better out of season as it does'nt get as packed, Highly Recommended.

Highly Recommended

Just outside Wareham, on the way to Corfe Castle. An old historic pub (with tasteful refurbishments) and managed by a young, but experienced, and knowledgable landlord - Damian. A superb selection of well-kept 'real ales' and an imaginative menu. Highly recommended!!
