The Rockingham Arms

The Rockingham Arms presents itself as a bustling establishment, frequently enveloped in the trademark ambience of a 'Spoons', offering the familiar expansive menu that promises both affordable and quick dining options. Rooted deeply within its rustic pub décor and recently refurbished, it provides a spacious setting for both gatherings and quieter moments. Breakfast patrons often indulge in hearty wraps or the Eggs Benedict, while evening crowds might gravitate toward traditional favorites such as fish and chips, praised for their crispiness, accompanied by mushy peas. While some patrons have noted varying quality and service experiences, others appreciate the wide-ranging drink menu—boasting selection from hand-pulled ales to signature IPAs—and efficient bar service despite occasional shortages. The establishment's diverse clientele includes students, locals, and tourists alike, creating a lively albeit sometimes crowded atmosphere with an informal charm. Though its spirited crowd may not favor the tranquil-seeker, its lively vibe makes The Rockingham Arms a go-to spot for casual dining and meet-ups, backed by amiable staff and improved post-refurbishment environments.
