The Kingfield Arms

Head down towards Old Woking and you'll find yourself in the kind of neighbourhood that remembers what pubs used to be about. The Kingfield Arms sits here without pretension, the sort of place where regulars have their spots and the bar staff actually know what you drink. It's the antidote to everywhere trying too hard—no craft cocktail menus or Instagram moments, just a proper boozer that gets it right by doing the basics brilliantly. You walk in and feel like you've stumbled onto something real, which in a town increasingly chasing trends, is increasingly rare.
