THE BUSINESS In the hands of the present owners since 2014 who have sympathetically restored the Kings Arms enhancing many of its fine original features. The present owners have chosen to operate as a wet sales only business known for cask ales. The business is popular with the local community supported by house pool and darts teams and also Buckfastleigh Rugby Club. Televised satellite TV is shown.
