Just to say we still have some late availability due to a last minute cancellation from Monday 8th for the remainder of the Easter Hols. With that in mind we'd like to offer a 10% discount to anyone that would like to book for a minimum of 4 days. We hope to see you if the mood takes you. I highly recommend picking some wild garlic from the woods behind Crownwheel cottage it makes for a delicious pesto!

Went to The Kings Arms Community Pub at Strete pub quiz last night in the newly decorated, revamped pub. Great fun, great food, great company - we had an absolute blast. There is a completely new menu, which proved really difficult to chose from as everything sounded delicious. I had the moule mariniere which was fantastic. Highly recommend this place as completely transformed since the last time I went.

AN UPDATE FROM THE COMMITTEE

We have some bad news. Early summer saw good business at the pub but after the washout summer and with autumn upon us, the Kings Arms community pub is facing a cashflow crisis. If funds cannot be raised quickly the pub will have to close.

Shareholders have already offered significant funds. But now we need to reach out to the wider community of friends and followers of our wonderful little village pub. The deadline is TUESDAY NIGHT.

Please read this letter from the committee.

If you would like to pledge please contact [email protected]

Please share this post, we need all the help we can get.
