Josh Eggleton said: “The Kensington Arms already has a great reputation for food and we’ll be adding to that by taking it back to its roots and emphasising its traditional British pub cuisines, sourced well, with daily changing specials. The current team is staying with the addition of new general manager Ali Yuill from Salt and Malt and the Pig near Bath, and Head Chef Luke Hawkins who we trained at the Source Cafe and The Pony & Trap. We are closing for a few days in October to have a bit of a spruce up and then it’ll be business as usual.”
