Dylans at The Kings Arms is a Top 100 Gastro Pub 2023 – housed in a beautiful 15th Tudor Century building on George Street in the Cathedral Quarter of St Albans.
Once a pub, The Kings Arms had been closed for 15 years and was re-opened as ‘Dylans at The Kings Arms’ in 2015 by owner & manager Sean Hughes, to be somewhere he would want to eat and drink within walking distance of his home.
Quickly becoming a neighbourhood gem, it is loved locally for its award-winning food, service (winner of Best Front of House Team 2022) and extensive range of craft beer, specialist wines and spirits.
The kitchen is headed up by Josh Searle who has been with Dylans for 5 years, developing his own style of cooking whilst staying true to the Dylans ethos of simplicity and quality.
Adapting the menu to make the most of the season’s best produce and with a focus on quality produce from small, local, and family suppliers, Josh cooks the kind of food we all love to eat. Specialities include Dairy Cow Rib and fresh Cornish fish cooked to perfection.
With a snacking menu available in the front bar room and an a la carte restaurant in the back, Dylans offers unpretentious but high-quality dining in a casual pub environment.
And who is Dylan? Well, Dylan was Sean’s dog, a naughty chocolate Labrador. Sadly, Dylan passed on in 2019 but his legend lives on!
