Sorry for your loss sevenhoop. A lovely post, he sounds like great guy, you were blessed to have him around for 91 years - that’s a beautiful thing fella.
Tried the KA Saturday evening. It has a disappointing range of beers (usual suspects ie Fosters, Guinness, Amstell etc) and wines compared to the previous incarnation of the KA.
Staff were pleasant enough although maybe a bit over-attentive for my liking, it doesn't feel much like a pub anymore, they've removed the lovely old bar that was there and there's TV's blaring out all over the place and music coming out of speakers - a bit too much sensory overload for me.
I'm turning into a grumpy old man :-)
The food wasn't bad but don't think I'll be rushing back.
If you're into proper beers it's a great place to drink. No TV's, all about the beers and chatting. The owner is a lovely, enthusiastic beer nerd named Lucy. They have simple food, often do cheese and biscuits, other snacks - constantly changing the beers so loads of choice.
It's very popular, can get busy at the weekends - well worth a visit if you're in the area.
As a fellow Hanwellian - agreed the Fox is a decent boozer. Have you tried The Dodo micro-pub on the Boston Road? Fantastic place if you're into proper beers.
Disappointed that the Kings Arms closed, I know it's under new owners - mate of mine scouted it out and wasn't impressed with the offering.
My Mrs is from Southsea, we still have connections there, the thirsty c_nut did a similar thing on the seafront - locals were not happy. He bought virtually the whole block and left it for years with hoarding around it - absolute eyesore. How much money does he need?
