Calthorpe Arms in Camden

The manager insulted my friend! The worst bar in London!

Ver bad attention from the manager, very displicent and angry

The manager shouted and disrespected to my friend.

Terrible service. They canceled the booking on the same day of the event, that we booked with one week of anticipation, and also the manager was extremely rude and disrespectful. Not the service a customer deserves.

I had the worst experience with the staff. They canceled a booking we had for the final of the Euros 24 hours before, and because of that, I asked to talk to the manager. She shouted, INSULTED, and threatened me in a phone call.

Booked a table for today's EuroCup final, been left stranded at the last minute with a text this morning "we don't take reservations for today, your table has been canceled". Very unprofessional behaviour, now me and my friends have to find where to watch the match, knowing everywhere it's fully booked. Awful Awful Awful

Proper old-fashioned local boozer

Great staff very friendly always welcoming .

I don't think that food is on offer but I had a very enjoyable time there.

Poor beer selection and unwelcoming staff on this small traditional pub. Walked in with a group or 6 people during quiet hours with a few locals present and plenty of space available seats . Four of us ordered drinks while the other two, who didn't want to drink anything, were asked to either order something or leave, despite the pub to be half empty. While I understand this is up to the pub to set up their own policies, this is rather unfriendly and is not a pub I would recommend to anyone.

Yet to try the food here but always good prices on pints and spirits. Very comfortably atmosphere inside and out.

I used to go to the Calthorpe Arms a lot, it's such a lovely boozer, but I go less frequently now they have stopped serving Aspall Cider - I know a number of their regulars miss this! Also the sports screens are a little too dominating at times; and punters can be a little edgy on the weekend. Otherwise the staff are fab and it has the potential to be what it used to be. Let's Make the Calthorpe Great Again!

Another local pub that reminds me of my younger days. Friendly staff and a warm ambience. I've never been a fan of music in pubs (I prefer that in pub/clubs) but enjoyable and relaxed.

Very nice pub no WiFi decent AF options.

A friendly pub full of locals, welcoming to strangers. Highly recommended.

the best local, amazing bar staff, amazing atmosphere & drink prices are wicked considering the area! 💕 pub quiz is so fun i rate this pub 10000/10

Great friendly and efficient manager.

Nice place. Kind staff. But be aware, they do not serve food anymore!

Lovely staff and pleasant place. Great London pub. Recommend it anyone and well done.

Decent pub, do a quiz on a Thursday which turns out me and my pal have zero brains. Pints are cheap enough and locals and staff are friendly

It is next to a 5 star hotel, but the cafe doesn't feel 5 stars. The afternoon tea was nice. The location is great.

Cracking little pub full of locals. We were made to feel really welcome not being from round there. Price for a pint was way better than anywhere else. The local beer was very good. My only complaint and its not a negative was the london way of serving the timothy taylors landlord. Always my go too pint but dan saaff they dont put a decent enough head on it. If im ever back in the area it will be my first port of call. Thank you for a good night out.

Nice mix of Uk clientele, you'll see all kinds here. No food, it's just a bar. Busiest on weekdays and slow on weekends.

Proper pub. Friendly atmosphere and the bar staff know how to pour a good pint and remember multiple orders! Thanks

What has happened to this pub? I know the licensee has retired but why let it slip so far? No real ale during my visit and the barmaid was clueless.

Lovely quaint pub Friendly staff and great jukebox. Barman Ben is a superhero and super nice and super efficient. The exceptional Kat is awesome and provides an extraordinary experience Go there for the best in London

Asked for a ghost ship ale which was the sign on the hand pump. What was actually in the pump was landlord ale. Jarring music playing quite loudly. Overall not an unpleasant pub though and decent place to spend an hour or two.

Real good local atmosphere. Great friendly service

Traditional. Always end up here, great atmosphere...a rare find.

Bardzo przyjemny bar z przemiłą obsługą i dobrymi piwami. Super miejsce, żeby miło spędzić wieczór. Serdecznie polecam i mam nadzieję, że jeszcze kiedyś będę miała okazję tam zajrzeć.

Classic and authentic English pub. Traditional choices of beer (couple imported lagers, Guiness and choice of English ales) and food. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

rude, hostile staff that don’t like anyone who isn’t old wrinkly

Lovely place to have a drink and watch the football match.

Nice local pub Nice cheerful staff but Guinness a let down

Nice place, staff were friendly

Well run family atmosphere quality beer and able to watch a decent game of football.

Friendly staff, good quality, home cooked style food and well looked after beer. What more could you want? If you have kids you want them entertained. Good news! This pub not only has a park but also a football goal and a mini golf course. Unique and well priced pub. Well done to the management, great job.

Place doesn’t serve food anymore but they were nice to redirect us to the Union Tavern

Good pub with good staff and beer on tap. Very old Skool interior especially with carpet on the floors.

Superfriendly and so serviceminded. We came in and they fixed us everything with sportschannels We wished for and helped us with food recommendation from the neighbours Lucky Louies. Walked that extra mile to make us feel great and have a fantastic evening.

Not the pub it was - not even serving food any more. Adrian and family - thanks so much for running this pub as well as you did for the last 20 years - I will greatly miss your food and especially the Sunday Roasts! Good luck with wherever you go to next.

Helpful staff, fairly priced pints

Superb beer. Friendly and for London the process were fantastic. Lovely

Great pub but rude staff, got pressured multiples times into ordering pints while we had already ordered and just came to watch football

This used to be a great bar run by a family. Now it’s a nightmare. Hardly has any beer. Bad music was so loud your couldn’t think. Gambling machines added special new cheesy appearance. So sad! This was an important historical pub. Now I feel like they’re trying to run it into the ground so that they can convert it into yet more luxury apartments.

Decent old school pub,decent pint of well kept Young's London

It's still a nice old pub! 'Ram Pubs', the tenanted side of the pubco Youngs, did a makeover of the Calthorpe shortly before they sold it, and around 50 other pubs, to Punch Taverns. Thus the Calthorpe benefits from that modernisation. As an aside, what didn't get modernised was the pub sign : it was spared the 'initial letter' nonsense seen on the rest of the estate. Anyway, back to the pub. I don't recall the brewery names but there were a couple of taps with real ale on. The staff were friendly and efficient. The price of £4.90 a pint was expected for the area. There are sturdy seats and tables on the pavement in the adjacent Wren Street. We sat at the table nearest the corner entrance and watched the minimal traffic on the Grays Inn Road, while listening to someone singing from across the road, possibly from the London Welsh Centre. Across the road from the pub in Wren Street is St Andrews Gardens, making these outside tables a pleasant place to sit.

Relaxing afternoon and good banter with Shirley the Blondie barmaid

Popped in for a pint on a long hot walk. Had to wait as the barman had gone round the shop.! Only a couple of minutes so no problem

Amazing home cooked resteraunt quality food and really friendly atmosphere. Staff are gorgeous.

The oublican/chef — Adrian — runs a tight ship on Grays Inn Road just north of hip Clerkenwell, south of Kings Cross. It’s customers don’t change. The feel is authentic. Foreigners like me are admitted slowly, but once you’re in you’re in for life. The menu revolves around real food, including a reliable and generous Sunday Roast lunch for under £9. Wonderful in its consistency and aversion to fashion.

£11.40 for 2 pints . A full ashtray. The beer was okay. The ashtray put me off.

Good local pub. Not a great selection of cider. Seating outside

This is a great place to be period

A nice refreshing pint and service with a smile

One of the last true pubs to survive, so far, the greedy, evil, land-grabbers that this government allows to flourish. A friendly, family-oriented environment. Look after it or it will be gone 👿

Fantastic pub and the boss is a diamond!!!!

Been going in occasionally over last fifty years.not changed that much.goodbeer and cheery staff

Had Sunday lunch last two weeks, great food and beer is good to. Staff so helpful.

Great Roast! They had a chicken and lamb option, both for 8,25. The food was amazing and the portions were huge. It was served with lots of veggies and a delicious sauce. The staff were also very nice and mindful of covid-19 safety measures. Will be back!

Great and cheap local pub! Cosy and lively atnosphere, friendly and welcomibgn staff. They offer a good selection of drinks and food. I had a pint and friend with lots of cheese toppings. Yum!

I love that you guys have 3 panels on each outside bench, v comfortable 🍑👍

Best roast in the area on a Sunday! Plate is a little overloaded but that's nothing to complain about at all and the prices are untouchable for miles around Not the biggest place but both patrons and staff are very friendly and they do have an upstairs area for bookings. One of the few remaining 'proper pubs' around

Very very historical type of place... Very old type

Good cheap food. Get the lasagne ;)

Cosy pub 10 minutes south of Kings cross, nice meeting room upstairs.

Genial. Gutes Essen, gutes Bier, angenehme Atmosphäre günstige Preise👍gu

Traditional local. Just what you want from a pub.

A lovely proper local.Good beer no musak in the background.A function room upstairs. A youngs pub.The lamb a youngs pub is five minutes walk from here,yet charges 50 pence more for the same Youngs beer! A good mix of locals and passing trade.A regular haunt of Channel 4 reporters.It is nice to be in a pub where people talk to each other.Good food.Well done Adrian the landlord and Alan a regular behind the bar.

Barmen was so hospitable to serve me after close time!)

Good atmosphere and great range of beers

Gentrification has not yet reached here. I think the regulars probably prefer it that way. Beer is good and sensibly priced by London standards.

Had a nice Lunch here with my family. Will visit again soon (:

Nice Pub. Good Ales and Food, but no music and uncomfortable lighting.

The Calthorpe Arms es un lindo pub de barrio de la época victoriana cerca de la casa de Charles Dickens en Holborn y un lugar perfecto para almorzar. Pedimos la sección de especialidades semanales del menú (7,75 cada uno) y disfrutamos de un buen pastel de pastor y el abadejo frito y patatas fritas. Fue abundante y satisfactorio. El personal de servicio fue muy agradable y servicial. Gran experiencia de pub!

Proper pub in central London. Atmospheric, good beer.

A little basic but very good value and nice people

Typical range of piss poor craft ale / foreign lagers and no keg bitter. Plenty of real ale for the beardy weirdies and staff were friendly enough. Was meeting up for a friend's birthday in the hope of a Sunday roast, alas only one of the eight of us got one

Good local boozer. The mice add to the place. Although they seem to infrst the bar. Decided not to eat here because of the this

I came in to the pub for early lunch time drink staff were rude and wasnt helpful at all. I was appalled in the condition of the toilets. Keep well away from this place I wouldn't recommended it to my worst enemy to drink in this place

Great food with big portions and reasonable price. Good selection of beers and polite staff. Very nice lunch time experience.

Visitamos aquí el domingo pasado para almorzar ya que habíamos reservado previamente cuando viajábamos desde West London. Pedimos almuerzos dominicales de pollo asado y cerdo asado. El pub es un pub pequeño y acogedor. Cuando llegó la comida nos sorprendió el tamaño de la porción y la variedad de verduras que era genial. Las papas asadas estaban deliciosas. Volveremos pronto Una de las mejores cenas asadas que hemos tenido en Londres.

Excellent beer. Good atmosphere.Seats available even on a Friday night.

Best and cheapest roast in London. Very old school and authentic vibe.

The carpet and the curtains from the Google maps photos have gone, replaced by generic modern alternatives. These were the only things that attracted me to this pub. Probably nice enough if you're local, but otherwise not worth going out of your way for.

Beautiful old fashioned pub, very clean and tidy, staff were wonderful, nice big selection and really good prices. Love to stop in here whenever I get the chance.

Good old-fashioned pub with a spacious function room upstairs. The food is good and reasonably-priced. For a central London pub, it's about as far from a tube station as it could be with.

Pequeño pub encantador y amable: excelente personal, las bebidas tienen una buena relación calidad-precio; si se apura, puede tomar un poco de tiempo para que te sirvan. Pero he tenido algunas tardes encantadoras allí.

The Calthorpe is a proper boozer. It's pretty old school, not flash, but tidy and friendly. The food is excellent! Cheap and plentiful. Good beers and live music. The occasional film showing too. What's not to like??

Traditional Pub, great selection of beverages. Foods bang on, quality and portions. Also very reasonably priced considering its location.

WE very much enjoyed our authentic English Pub experience at the Calthorpe Arms, the Staff were very nice and helpful and the food was great, whilst we could not come at the local "old school" beer the Camden Larger was a standout. Well worth the visit

Good local with decent pub food

Good value for money meal in London. Good beer too.

Nice traditional pub with good food and reasonable prices beer

Good selection of beers and food menu.

A very traditional pub. Went for the bacon cheeseburger, everything was freshly cooked and was very enjoyable..

Warm atmosphere, friendly barmen, tasty food and big portions! Perfect!

Accueil très sympa, bons sandwiches. La carte n est pas énorme mais les plats sont de qualité et la bierre est bonne.

Nice People ...very good people

Decent grub and selection of beers. Perfect work lunch spot!
