Welcome to the Man At Arms Mini Web Site!
This is where it all started back on the 24th November 1985. It wasn't easy back then! There was one Wednesday night not long after we moved in. We opened the doors at 6:00pm, as we do now, and waited for the customers - and waited - and waited, until eventually at five minutes to ten two gentlemen walked in. That night we sold two Jumbo Sausages and two pints of Davenports Bitter! It was enough to make us give up, but we knew what we were doing was the right thing and gradually the word spread. Within six months we had the busiest pub in the area and haven't looked back since. Obviously the amount of places to eat locally have increased ten fold since then, but THE MAN AT ARMS still holds its own in an ever more demanding environment.
This pub started "Two Meals and a bottle of House Wine for £9.99" (now £12.99 - not bad - an increase well below inflation!)
Always a great atmosphere in here, so enjoy yourself and don't forget to let us know what you thought of your visit.
