Kingswood Arms

This huge mock-Tudor pile was built around 1900 as the Station Hotel to serve the adjacent Kingswood Station on the Tattenham Corner branch. By the mid-60s it had become the Pigeon Pair and assumed its present title in the 1980s. Over the years, exposed brick has given way to painted render, whilst the amount of first floor black and white facing has grown. Colourful flower baskets adorn the front and there is a pleasant garden at the back. To the front of the interior is the main wood-beamed drinking bar. Artefacts around include old agricultural and engineering implements. A separate area known as the "Study" is available for hire, whilst to the right is a very large conservatory extension, capable of accommodating 120 diners. Food is served until 9:30pm all week (there may occasionally be a short break between Sunday lunch and evening food if it has been very busy). The pub was winner of the 1983 Evening Standard Pub of the Year Award and a plaque outside commemorates this achievement. The Kingswood Arms Golfing Society gathers here. There is a well stocked trophy cabinet and winners' board in the bar. The pub was bought by Fullers although it is not branded as such early 2012, and there will be one of their seasonal beers plus a guest beer supplied by the brewery on sale, changing every two weeks.
