I only go to the kings arms when I walk to games at Stafford Rangers. Sadly it's too far to walk on an average evening out. I will be going this weekend.

Has that replaced the Banks's Amber, the Greene King Abbot or the guest beer?Banks's Mild in the Princess Royal
No, the Banks's Amber Bitter I've always known there is still on.Has that replaced the Banks's Amber, the Greene King Abbot or the guest beer?
"it’s an open pub, and it’s almost full" and that can be a Monday lunchtime. Some pubs are closed all day Monday because they say there's no demand. Some pubs get things right, some don't.“It’s an odd pub
Mainly because it’s still open
It’s neighbour, The Albion, has an appearance of boarded up bomb site, lost several years ago, a passport to Pimlico comes to mind
Our pub looks like it should be closed from external appearances, sad and tired, but it’s open, and it opens a lot
There’s a jukebox, but it has no treble, instead it has just the bass, and so guessing a song title is a pounding experience, at the same time, two televisions show us sports in the single roomed bar
Young children run through the customers, playing with happy smiles
A board advertises pizzas, flat and square
It could do with a lick of paint, several coats in fact, but it’s open, so nobody cares
An elderly customer sits on his stool, nursing two pints, slightly annoyed at other customers waiting for their drinks. It’s his stool, but we can’t quite see his name on it
A Darts player steps backward carefully, nudging into drinkers as they await their pints, others sit astride stools in the window, glancing at daily life in the terrace
There is conversation, a hum, it’s odd. It’s unusual, it’s an open pub, and it’s almost full
The bar person works hard and remembers orders, her colleague bobs in with a pizza, presenting it as if a banquet in a Michelin restaurant
It’s the weekend, the pub is even, and it’s open, so why is that so odd?”

Peter,One of the few things I miss about no longer living on Victoria Terrace is the proximity to the Kings Arms.
