What NorthStartle likes about Watts Russell Arms:
Finished a long day's walking with a couple of pints in this pub and it was exactly what we wanted. All ales were local, the barman was friendly and happy to chat about any subject under the Sun. I don't recall there being any WiFi, which I welcomed as people in the pub were actually talking to each other! This is how pubs used to be and I loved it. View all feedback. What peterborough1234 doesn't like about Watts Russell Arms:
Evening meal was tapas which we knew so was expected. Had we just walked in for this would not be so pleased. The food itself was fine and unusual flavours. No puddings. Do not agree with the no children rule. Would give a miss in... View all feedback.
