The pub is found in Stowmarket, Suffolk, IP14 1RQ.
Located virtually in the railway station yard so handy first or last stop when visiting the town. Opened soon after an earlier pub of same name closed in Ipswich Street. Closed May 6th, 1958. Re-opened at the beginning of December 2009 after 51 year closure. The pub now has five handpumps on an arced wooden bar and beers are mainly from East Anglia, though some are sourced from other regions. The name by which the Kings Arms came to be unofficially known was “The Two Sisters” derived from Mabel Harriett Southgate and Jessie Hilda Taylor nee Beaumont who ran the place in the first half of 20th century.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 12 different beers and tried 5 of them.
