About Wych Elm
Welcoming and friendly back-street local. The former two bar pub has been opened up, but a partition can be closed to separate the areas. Wooden floors with rugs and painted walls form the decor. Photos on the walls illustrate Kingston's aviation history, as Sopwith's factory was just down the road. There is a secluded garden and log burners in winter. It shows some important sporting events and will host a party or celebration, charity quizzes, piano and wine evenings (3rd Wednesday monthly). Beer is kept to a high standard by a Master Cellarman. Guest beers are supplied by Asahi but are often from another brewery. Regular Friday Curry Nights and roasts on Sunday. Accredited for beer quality during 2023 and was awarded Local CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2022. Normally closed on Mon and Tues but usually open 7 days a week in December.

I had a great lunch at The Wych Elm with a group of 6 friends and honestly, it was the perfect pub experience. The food was super tasty, with hearty, flavorful dishes, and everyone was really happy with their choices, from the pub classics to some of the specials on the menu. In particular, the scallops were sensational. The vibe was exactly what you’d want from a local pub—busy, lively, but still cozy enough for a good catch-up with friends. Service was spot on too. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, but never hovered. It felt really laid-back and welcoming…

My second visit here. As before, fabulous roast, charming service, lovely environment. Think this is now locked-in as my favourite roast vendor in the area... And I've tried a LOT of them!

Really nice New Year's Eve lunch. Fuller's beer in excellent condition. We had a delicious home made soup followed by roast pork belly for me, risotto for my partner. Lovely wood stove, pub extremely clean, staff and service first -rate

Great pub. Good food, good size too. Polite and attentive staff. They even have beer!! Had a Sunday roast here and it was really good. The atmosphere was building but I can’t really say as we got there bang on opening in a Sunday. Don’t have a booking but they found us a space for a couple of hours. Thanks

Lovely Sunday chicken roasts! Staff are very friendly and service was fast. The roasts can be ordered as a smaller portion too. Great yorkshire puddings. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. Vegetarian and vegan options offered on the menu.
