A classic, cosy, side street pub, just off Mill Road. Windows and mirrors keep the interior light and welcoming. Simple tables and chairs cater for groups of many sizes while bar stools suit those who prefer to perch. Real fires in cold weather. The walled garden behind has canopies and heaters and is popular all year round. There are roadside cycle-racks in front.

The Kingston Arms reopened in March 2023 under new licensees as a proper wet led pub following an ill-fated spell as a Mediterranean restaurant. Old local photos, Historic Cambridge Beer Festival posters and breweriana decorate the walls. Pumpclips increasingly cover the ceiling. Up to seven cask beer including at least one dark one. Four still ciders including real ciders. Cribbage and skittles on Tuesday. Pub quiz on the last Monday of the month. The pub runs bi-monthly minibus pub tours.

Pork pies and snacks. Plates and cutlery available for drinkers who order in pizzas or other food from local restaurants. Alternate Wednesdays they have pop-up kitchen takeover.
