Situated in a scruffy East End industrial estate, next to a railway line, we've seen more promising pub locations in our time. The Dartmouth Arms is so distant from passing trade that we were surprised to find it open on a Sunday. The main bar area was pretty dim, apart from a couple of TVs showing the football, and the range of beer on offer was equally minimal. It's a little brighter out on the rear terrace with its cane furniture, garden benches and pool tables. Apparently, there are regular barbecue and East African music nights here - we saw tinsel and a few glitterballs at any rate.
