A Festival of Summer’s Best Ciders
Join us this summer for our Cider Festival, a glorious 8-week celebration of crisp pours, fruity flavours, and full-on festival vibes – all without the wellies.
🌟 This year’s cider stars: 🌟
Thatchers Stan’s Big Apple (5%) – Bold, fresh, and unapologetically apple. A proper cider classic.
Westons Rosie’s Pig Rhubarb (4%) – Sweet meets tart in this rhubarb-flavoured favourite.
Lilly’s Cherries & Berries (NEW – 4%) – Bursting with juicy, fruity flavour. It’s summer in a glass.
Lilly’s Tropical (NEW – 4%) – A sun-soaked mix of tropical fruits. Think beach vibes, minus the airfare.
🎶 Expect laid-back tunes, cider tasting boards, fruity specials, and a proper summer buzz all season long.
A traditional family-friendly pub
Soak up our friendly service and homely charm here at the Johnson Arms in Dunkirk, Nottingham. The pub has stood proudly on the side of the river Leen since it was called the Abbey Tavern in the 1860s, before Frank Johnson bought the building in 1904 and renamed it the Johnson Arms. We’re the perfect place to sit back, relax with your favourite drink in hand. Enjoy 20p off each Cask-conditioned ale straight from the brewery, with our CAMRA discount.
Looking to host an event or private party? We've got FREE venue hire at weekends. Looking ahead to New Years Eve, you can hire the whole pub for your very own exlusive New Years Eve party! Almost any occasion is possible here at The Johnson Arms. We're just at the end of the phone, so give us a call!
GARDEN RETREAT
Our rear garden is tucked away yet provides plenty of sunny spots for friends and family to get together.
You’ll feel immersed in our charming oasis in any season, sit back and enjoy.
RAISING THE BAR
Our bar is fully stocked with the best selection of your favourite drinks! From world lagers to spirits, wines to cocktails and every tipple in-between.
Join us for a fleeting cocktail with a friend, a quiet pint at the bar, or celebrate the big occasion and start your weekend with high spirits. No matter what you fancy, we’ll have something to tickle your tastebuds every time.
