Kings Arms A royal welcome awaits at the King’s Arms pub in Dorking, where food and drink fit for a King is served up in historic surroundings. Built in 1405, it’s believed Charles II once stayed at the pub during its days as a coaching inn, while another famous Charles - Mr Dickens, no less - wrote about the place in his novel Little Dorrit. The story these days is one of traditional charm, fine fare and friendly service. Cask Marque approved ales, superb wines and freshly prepared food can all be enjoyed inside or out - with four levels of cosy alcoves and original oak-beamed ceilings to explore indoors, and two fabulous courtyard gardens outside. 45 West St, Dorking RH4 1BU. 01306 886496 www.kingsarmsdorking.co.uk/
