See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Large modern Arkells pub in Taw Hill on Thamesdown Drive. Whilst largely open plan, the pub is cleverly sectioned into traditional sports bar, several eating areas, and a quiet soft seating area for newspapers, reading or quiet conversation. The pub majors on food and new menus seek to provide a good value package. Popular amongst travellers, there are 5 rooms for guests, and breakfast is now served to all comers from 10.00. A large car park, extensive grass area with a splendid children's' play park, and the number 15 bus stopping right outside, Unusually for Arkell's, a guest beer is in addition to three regular house beers. A footpath to "Mouldon Hill County Park" (5 minutes away) crosses the North end of the car park.
