The Kings Arms, Winkleigh

We have been meaning to get to this pub for years, knowing that Jamie from Iddesleigh's legendary 'Duke of York' is involved (does he own and tenant it?). We thought is was like the Duke used to be - unpretentious, very local but friendly, no piped music or machines, nice hotchpotch of furniture and decor. The beer selection was a bit disappointing for my tastes, but well kept. The food was not great, but better than average, and much better priced than the now OTT DoY. Good home made pasty & chips for less than �4. It got very crowded by about 1.30, but they do food all day - go early or late is my advice. We'll certainly go again if we're in the 'hood.
