Thank you for visiting the City Arms website – Welcome. The City Arms was originally The City of Wells Jail and then subsequently an abattoir.There are those who would ‘argue’ it therefore was only a matter of time before the building became a licensed hostelry.

I have held the Licence since December,2007 and have made substantial improvements and alterations to bring the property up to requirements of the 21st Century. I believe, with considerable help and guidance, that improvements constitute evolution and in no way reflect revolution.

Our ethos is one of values, quality, good service and customer awareness.

We hold dear fresh food, locally sourced, where possible and fresh fish is a further house speciality together with changing vegetarian options.
On the subject of ‘wet’ sales, we pride ourselves on keeping:
7 Real Ales
5 draught Lagers
3 draught Ciders including local Cider such as Ashton Press & Addlestone's

We like to think our range of wines, both by the glass and bottle, are second to none, with prices and selections to suit all and sundry.

If you are in the area, please come and visit us and if there is anything we can do to be of help or service let us know.

Thanks for your visit and time.

Penny Lee
