The Kings Arms, Beach Street, Deptford, Sunderland
The Kings Arms is a real gem of a pub with a wood paneled bar. The first mention of the pub on the site is in 1854 and the bar is typical of detail work carried out by local craftsmen of the period both internally and externally. The Kings arms is a multi award winning pub notably local Sunderland & South Tyneside CAMRA pub of the year 2005, 2006 and 2007 and also regional winner in both 2006 and 2007 going forward to the national stage.

The bar features nine hand pumps with Timothy Taylor’s Landlord as the resident beer plus seven guest ales and one real cider. The guest ales are sourced from all over the country and many are not seen anywhere else in the area. Such breweries are Newby Wyke from South Lincolnshire, Red Lion from Ossett and Brown Cow from Selby.

There is always a strong North-East influence with ales from the likes of Big Lamp, Bull Lane, Durham , High House Farm, Mordue, Jarrow, and Wylam .The pub is located in the old industrial heartland of Deptford where shipbuilding was once the foundation of the town and being only 10 minutes from the city centre is well worth a stroll.

The Kings has views over the River Wear to the Stadium of Light which is only a short walk with ample match day parking ideal for a pre or post match pint. There are three large screen TV’s in the Kings should you wish to watch the sporting action in more comfortable surroundings.

A beer garden with Marquee is located to the rear of the pub. The Marquee, which hosts live music in the summer months is also available for private hire. For enquiries please contact Martin on (0191) 5679804 for further details.
