The Camberwell Arms in Southwark

Too cool for newborns, and the waiting staff were snooty about it too

We had our wedding reception at The Camberwell Arms back in September, and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. From the start, Josefin was fantastic in helping us plan the day. She was responsive, attentive to every detail, and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. The food was exceptional. Wedding meals can often be a bit underwhelming, but Mike and his team created a menu that our guests are still talking about. The dishes were full of flavour, beautifully presented, and exactly the kind of food people wanted to eat—seasonal, hearty, and delicious. The venue worked perfectly for our celebration. We used the downstairs for our drinks reception and dinner, which was cosy and intimate, and then we moved upstairs for dancing. The team made sure the day flowed smoothly, making it all feel effortless. The Camberwell Arms is perfect if you're looking for a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, a fantastic team and incredible food and drink. It was exactly the kind of unpretentious yet special wedding we had hoped for. We’re so grateful to the team for making our day so memorable and would 100% recommend it to anyone planning a wedding or event!

We hired the upstairs private dining area for lunch and everything was incredible! The staff were amazing and the food was delicious as it always is here.

The food was tasty and nicely presented, the mackerel main course could have more on the plate, felt as a bit more of a starter than a main.

Dimly lit pub with an open kitchen, with very much a restaurant feel. The food was very good. Cocktails and wines were also good. Unfortunately the service was poor on the evening we visited. It was a quiet Monday evening but the waitress got some of our order wrong, seemed to forget about us on several occasions and we were frequently having to look around to get attention from the staff despite them being quiet and overstaffed. Hope to try again, with improved service!

Best Sunday roast we have had in London

Just celebrated our wedding reception in the upstairs private room. Could not fault the service! Staff, venue, food and drinks were all exceptional. Would definitely recommend hosting an event here.

Super delicious, worth it for the roast! Beer onions on toast was gobbled quickly and was super flavourful. Roast chicken and pie were really good! Good size mains actually. Pie can easily feed 3 with a few other bits. Flavour of sticky toffee was nice, but consistency was a little off, more condensed and not really fluffy. Bloody Mary's perfect amount of spice and cheap at under £10

Went here for my friend’s wedding and the food that they serve was really great! There is a room upstairs for special functions, it was quite spacious and can host a good number of people

Really great - lovely lunch on a Sunday - my only ‘complaint’ would be that it all came out too fast and would’ve preferred to hang around the lovely atmosphere longer than we did

Had an evening meal here - service, food, drink, ambiance all fantastic! In particular the thoughtfulness and generosity of the staff when a particular dish wasn't available was incredible. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food. Professional and friendly service with a laid back atmosphere

I was treated to dinner here on a busy Saturday night. The service was exceptionally good, the food original and inventive and the wine delicious. As a bumpkin from Yorkshire I was staggered by the bill. I think £65 per head was a shock for simple delicious two (not always three) courses of food, one (or two) puds, and a few glasses of wine (no bottles). But the clientele was young, gifted and moneyed. It was a pleasure to be a part of their world!

We held our wedding lunch at here on the 12th October 2024, and everything about our lunch was just perfect. The food was out of this world - the pork fat and scotch bonnet on toast was incredible, and the main course lamb, and salted caramel brownie for dessert, utterly delicious. The service was impeccable, with everything happening effortlessly and almost invisibly, meaning we could just focus on the occasion. We’d 100% recommend the CA for private events, and hope to visit again soon for lunch. 10 out of 10!! Thank you!

Really good, locally sourced, food (if a bit expensive).... excellent staff...

I hosted my 30th birthday here in the private dining room upstairs and it was perfection! The setting is perfect for a big dinner party (I had 48 guests) and the food is next level. The team were incredibly attentive and the evening was seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion - a great evening all round!

Not recommended for vegetarians - the only veggie main is a £19 butternut squash. No veg option for the roast which feels pretty dated…

Lost the plot on Sunday roast prices!!!

Just ate at the Camberwell Arms with my boyfriend for a celebratory dinner. We sat at the bar and had starters, mains and pudding. Highlight was the beer onions… also fantastic classic cocktails done so well. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Especially enjoyed watching the two curly haired chefs prepping food in front of us. Great evening, thank you!

Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone on a date, family dinner, or just a casual get together! Our favourites were the Hereford Onglet, deer and partridge.All cooked to perfection. The steak was succulent, not too tough, and really tasty. The meat juices were so good! Desserts were amazing also. I had chocolate mousse. Very dense and dark!

Excellent. Really ! A little far from the center, but worth it.

I rented the private room for a 30th birthday meal with friends. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic too. Highly recommend!!

Great at catering for dietary requirements. Delicious food, lovely staff.

The beef and bone marrow pie, mussels, corn, and pork fat on toast were excellent - albeit a tad too salty. Had a house ginger beer as well, which was sadly quite weak in flavour; the wine was great though!

Service: The staff were friendly, approachable and were helpful when it came to answering questions about the dishes. Main: We ordered the lamb sharer for two. The meat itself was tasty, and the flavour profile was lovely. We were told that it was lamb leg, however it was very fatty and I found it hard to believe it was leg. The portion of lamb was small, definitely not enough for two, so when factoring in the fat there was even less meat. The lamb was sat atop leeks and peas, which were nice, but they were swimming in a very thin watery stock. Sides: The beans with flaked nuts were delicious but overpriced at ~£11. Similarly the heritage tomato dish was overpriced for the size of the portion. I would have been happier paying ~£9 for each dish. Again flavours great, but portions underwhelming. Wine: Excellent selection! Value for money: Poor. £122 for a few small cuts of tasty yet fatty lamb, some beans and tomatoes and a couple of glasses of wine. Left unsatisfied and not full. I personally wouldn’t revisit as there are so many other pubs like the Canton Arms offering similar quality food at a similar price point - yet the offerings are larger.

Just fantastic. Group of 10 of us all afternoon, glorious staff and stunning food

Lovely shared meals. Background music too loud.

Best Sunday roast I’ve ever had. And the starters we got were all perfect. 👌

A gem! The food was some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The service was excellent, the menu was interesting (including some vegetarian options), and the beer was delicious.

Big pub in central Camberwell. We had a private event in upstairs room for about 35. Super service. Food was plainly done and very good. Strongly recommended.

The waitress was amazing, very good with people, made us feel at home. I hope she makes it as a singer - her voice is top tier.

The food was decent but the service wasn’t particularly good.

We have been several times and the food is always so good we decided to have our wedding reception in the upstairs private dining space - we could not have had a more perfect meal! Every single bite was cooked and seasoned to perfection. They use exceptional ingredients. The menu is both modern and traditional so it’s a good place for families - our friends in their 30s loved it just as much as some of our older guests. No notes!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding here and every single little detail of the day was well considered and executed with ease and total style. We thought the communication leading up the day was great, we had lots of information and appreciated being allowed to get in earlier to set up the room. Every person we met or came into contact with was helpful, kind, accommodating and really knowledgeable. Given that we were on a bit of a budget, at no point did we feel we were being pressured to spend more or unnecessarily upgrade wines etc and we really liked that we had a variety of different price options so we could stick within our budget. The fact that we chose the house white for a very reasonable price and everyone still commented on how nice it was demonstrates how well every part of the menu is designed. On the day itself, the food went way beyond expectations and almost every single guest commented on the amazing quality of ingredients ...."how have they made lettuce taste so nice?!". This is some of the best food you can have in London and it is served in a welcoming, familial surroundings which was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The day and service felt relaxed and warm, it was organised but didn't feel overly regimented and we were so well looked after by everyone. Having a sound system and being allowed to have a low key party into the evening was really nice.

It was ok but not my sort of place

The pies are really sensational. The best pie by far EVER

We hired out the whole pub for our wedding, and eery part of the day felt perfect. So much care was taken to make it feel really personal to us. We felt we were in such capable and expert hands with Josefin helping plan and coordinate everything. On the day itself, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The food was absolutely delicious, the bar ran so efficiently that nobody had to wait for drinks. People particularly complimented the cocktails, and the delicious food throughout the day.

We hosted our wedding here in the upstairs private room having been regulars at the restaurant for a few years and couldn’t have asked for a better night! All our guests commented on how lovely the food was and how delicious the drinks were, plus the staff were so accommodating. Would recommend to anyone.

We had our wedding dinner / party at Camberwell Arms and it was an incredible experience from start to finish, I couldn't recommend it enough! Josefin and the events team were extremely professional, communicative, and accommodating over the course of our planning. On the day, everyone was raving about the food (we went for the lamb!), the service, and the atmosphere! We danced the whole night and had an amazing time. Major thank you to the Camberwell Arms team for making our big day so special!

My husband & I organised a lunch in the private dining room last Saturday & we had the most amazing time. The food was absolutely delicious & service was perfection. Special shout out to Flora, who went out of her way to ensure we were really well looked after. We'll definitely book another event in the future.

Amazing hearty, seasonal food with banging cocktails.

We had our wedding breakfast at the Camberwell Arms and the team made it such an enjoyable day. The food was great and the whole team were super friendly, well organised and created a beautiful atmosphere for us to celebrate in. We are super grateful - thanks to the whole team for your help

There's an excellent atmosphere here. I shall return.

The best spot in Camberwell. The team are always lovely and the food is always impressively inspiring and nostalgic at the same time.

The perfect Sunday lunch. Lamb shoulder was full of flavour, the beer onions/scotch bonnet pork on toast were a particular highlight within the extremely high standard. Tall ceilings and old school building with a modern twist makes a chilled but classy vibe. Doesn’t get much better!

Food was nice enough, but the ordering policy is annoying and took a while to sort out due to most Sunday menu dishes only being offered for sharing between 2 or 3. This meant that some of our group had to choose something they didn't really want. What happens if you're eating alone? Or with one other person who wants something different?

Been waiting to go here for a long time for a roast dinner. It was mid at best, especially for the price. Left very disappointed after craving a good roast. Wouldn't go for a roast here again but would be interested to try something else on their menu. Service was great though!

The world's best gastropub. Fantastic food, interesting wines, real beers and lovely staff.

Amazing venue for our wedding lunch this summer. The team were great to deal with before the event, and the day itself was absolutely brilliant - lovely room, amazing food (and generous portions), fab staff and service - all our guests mentioned how much they loved it. Thank you Camberwell Arms for making our day extra special ❤️

Great gastropub with an open kitchen and a lot of courage when it comes to seasoning, great!

We had a pre-wedding celebration meal here for 22 people with family and friends and so hired the private room which comes with its own bar (huge plus in South London as not many places do). The Camberwell Arms offered a great value set menu for groups and was perfectly set up for events - we filled out a form opting for a sparkling reception, liaised with us about a table plan and place cards and decorated the table with flowers free of charge. It was an amazing place for our event and we were looked after so well. The food in particular was amazing - everybody commented on it - and perfect for sharing. The staff were just lovely and we were so well looked after, they even provided a playlist for the event. I would really recommend considering the private room here for parties and celebrations if you want to make it special and memorable. Thank you Camberwell Arms - we will be back!

Store place, why did it take me so long to jump on an o ground and come here? Lamb ribs are a must! Great wine list, too. Extra thanks for the sound absorbing panels.

I thought I was just going to a pub in Camberwell. I can without reservation say that the experience I had was 5 star. Excellent beer( Flotzinger) , an excellent menu and the best focaccia I have ever had. Great staff and a great atmosphere. Treat yourself to the Camberwell Arms, you will not be disappointed.

Great local serving lovely food and has an excellent and varied wine list.

Bar Staff are totally incompetent, need training, is it all their first day? Crazy bad service (Friday 14/6/24)

Really lovely visit to the Camberwell arms! Arrived at 4:00pm to a few things already sold out on the menu so offered a glass of fizz as an apology ! Throughly enjoyed the recommendation of the Hebridean lamb to share! Great atmosphere, hospitality and food ! We will be back

Excellent restaurant, the food is great, they have great wines and the service impeccable.

We had our wedding reception at the Camberwell Arms and couldn’t have made a better choice. The lovely upstairs room was a perfect fit for our 35 guests (including 12 teens) and we were expertly looked after making it a very memorable day. Food was excellent, service smooth, and they were very accommodating to our individual requirements. Highly recommended for any special occasion.

Excellent food, ingredients and innovative dishes without losing the comfort pub food vibe

We had a smashing Saturday lunch here, couldn't recommend it more - get the steak if you eat meat!

We had the set menu for a party of 11 and the whole experience was fantastic. The event was really easy to organise with their team, the food was amazing and the service was great.

Finally tried the Sunday roast. The chicken was very good. Moist and flavoursome. It was a great roast dinner, obviously, plating was beautiful, however the roast potatoes were stale tasting and had a ‘leftover potatoes’ texture to them, and the asparagus dish was overpriced I think, plus the chicken gravy was too watery, and thin. Needed more body. The food was served in less than 5 mins, so clearly everything was hold held. The entire meal was served pretty cold-warm. Dinner for two cost £80 and I really expected the dish to be perfect, for that price, and it wasn’t. I was a little disappointed I won’t lie. After all the hype.

Our new favourite place to go for a special treat. We went last night for my husbands 40th. The food is amazing. We have been twice now and both time we were so impressed with the food, the service and the atmosphere. We shall definitely be returning. Can highly recommend!

Sunday roast was below average. Didn’t bother finishing it

So good to know a restaurant that is reliably good. Thank you. We had a great evening at Camberwell Arms.

Had a fabulous lunch with a group of friends & family at one long table - great food and drinks, super service, allowed to linger and savour the experience.

Expecting a trad roast, came with lettuce salad, and roast potatoes, ordered greens with chilli, so greens were cold and so were roast potatoes, greens went back twice and potatoes went back once, no really very satisfactory. Ordered pistachio ice cream and chocolate sorbet, yes sorbet, both delicious and highlight of the meal. Though discount was applied to our bill, still very disappointing. A big shout out though for Rosie a massive asset to their team.

Sunday lunch was exceptional. Very impressed. The service was great too. Thanks, really good!

Excellent food and amazing and friendly service. Can't wait to go again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Camberwell Arms in South East London, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. The staff went above and beyond with their warmth and hospitality, providing excellent service throughout my visit. The food was simply outstanding, and to top it off, they even treated me to a complimentary meal. The Camberwell Arms is undoubtedly a class act, and I can't wait to return. A huge thank you to the team for making our experience truly memorable. Lamb ribs were off the chain.

We hosted our wedding lunch at The Camberwell Arms upstairs room and it was nothing short of incredible! The food was totally delicious, the staff were amazing & the room was gorgeous. We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect location - and the events team made the organisation super slick and smooth. Absolutely so happy - would recommend to everyone and anyone!

Love the place, service is friendly and fun (thanks to our waitress Bella 😄), the drink selection, especially wines is great and the Sunday roast is amazing! Try the Onion and Gruyère toast, asparagus and the Hebridean lamb!

I had my 30th birthday at Camberwell Arms and it was sheer perfection. The food was so delicious and there was plenty to go around (I always get worried with sharing plates), the service was also spot on and they were so attentive and kind. Many of my guests have even messaged me to say how great the whole night was and I couldn't agree more. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a private dining room experience for their special occasion! Thank you!

When people say that London is a rip off, they probably have places like this in mind. For 3 non-alcoholic drinks and tap water, 5 sides and 4 mains (1 to share) we spent a lot of money and left the restaurant with 4/5 people feeling unsatisfied with the portion sizes (we got mains and coffees - no starters or desserts). For example, the jersey royal portion was £11 for 5 tiny potatoes and goats curd smeared on half the plate (if it is meant to be a starter we were not advised that it was not a side, bad service). The chips were good but very expensive considering what they are (£5.80 for a bowl). The lamb was very unappealing (very rare and fatty). The pie is not a pie and only has a top! I also saw the waitstaff cut up bread with bare hands after serving tables (maybe they did wash their hands but who knows), I saw a different waiter put their hand in a drink (presumably to take something off a piece of ice) then serve it to someone anyway and this same waiter touched the spoon part of the spoon when it was handed to me. The restaurant wasn’t even busy at this time. We didn’t get asked if we enjoyed / were enjoying our meal (maybe it was obvious it was rubbish). For atmosphere, the lighting felt quite clinical, and it wasn’t cosy or relaxing at all. Maybe you need to drink the kool-aid to enjoy it here. Definitely would not recommend and quite disappointed considering the hype. Edit: the reason you can’t find my name in your reservations is because I was part of a group and not the person who booked. I also appreciate you reaching out but I don’t want to visit again so not looking for any coupons or discounts via email. The reason for my review is to warn others. Thanks.

My partner and I we went for Roast last Sunday 14th April, booked 4:15, called to said we were running a bit late, which hey said no problem but we must order fast. We arrived 4:25, sat at the counter. Open kitchen. Had still water, onion and cheese toast, took 20’ to come. Server said they run out of chicken. After 1:15 the main arrived, no one let us know it will take that long, the venue wasn’t busy around 20 covers and 5 BOH personnel We ordered the Lamb to share, was cold and below rare, undercooked for a lamb. Asked to please heat and cook a little more, server took the plate to the kitchen and the chef on pass touched with whole hand and took the plate and throwed it in the counter behind him, my parter was watching and he stood up to see if the dish went into the bin and when the Chef saw him place the meat again with his hands on a tray and asked my partner: What?!? Which he said that saw him and what he did and Chef started arguing. A manager apologised and we left as out appetite was shut after all this wrong practice and treatment. Open kitchen was filthy and not looked after. I’ve been working in hospitality for more than 15 years, and did all my life average 60hs/week and treat all staff respectfully and what I’ve witnessed is just not acceptable, just wanted a good Roast on my day off and very disappointed as heard good things from your venue. Sadly way distante from it. All the best. VP

Remembered it as a pub but is much more bistro now. Top scran

Great drinks and snacks. Incredible decor inside.

The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious!!

I had high hopes agreeing reading the reviews, but the shared Sunday lunch was disappointing. The pork was lovely, but the roast potatoes were dry and hard, the meal came with a carrot and no Yorkshire pudding. Over priced and poor value for money.

On a blustery bank holiday afternoon, it feels like there’s no better place to be. Sax jazz on the sounds, smell and sound of a nice open kitchen, airy and cheery. Loses a star as there’s no real ale and it’s really not a pub, let me order a drink at the ‘bar’, but everyone else is table service dining. #46 #40

Really disappointing trip that we'd been looking forward to for weeks. We were sat upstairs along with two large tables of families with kids. The atmosphere was a bit dead upstairs definitely more buzzy downstairs. They didn't have one of our chosen starters so they subbed in something else on the house. We had the pork roast (for two) to share and when it arrived everything was luke warm at best. The roasts weren't crispy and the cut we had was mostly fat; it came with two carrots. Some elements tasted nice but definitely not worth the hype we'd read about. I mentioned the temperature issue to the staff at the end of the meal and was told they'd pass the message to the kitchen. Our dessert was taken off the cost at the end. Maybe they were having an off day...

Incredible roast but don’t forget to order extra bits, like buttered cabbage, to get the full experience! Roast pork was some of the best I’ve ever had with a healthy portion of crackling on each portion.

I love this place ,although locals can feel a bit put in a corner if they are not a party of 8 the staff are amazingly thoughtful and still try to take care of your! And for this I must give 5 stars. I feel the staff are treated quite well and this seems to reflect by wil;ing and caring staff. My little dog is always welcome, if they had dog treats i would give 6 stars. A bit pricier than many but it’s my closest pub and I love coming here after a walk! If you need local dog care or want to sere Stellar PositiveK9z on insta ,fb or ticktock

Had been wanting to visit the Camberwell arms for some time now. The venue had a really fantastic atmosphere on arrival. The venue staff were very lovely and friendly and helped us with wine recommendations whilst we waited for our table. Loved the interior, and the wines were delicious. The food was all very tasty. We went for a Sunday roast. We opted for the pork. It was a shame that the only beef option was a pie, and both lamb options were with a pine nut sauce, which we couldn’t have due to allergies. One thing to note is that the mains only come with a side of roast and one other veggie. It would have been great to have had more green vegetables options. However both the starters and desserts were incredible, full of flavour and very moreish. A great venue for a big group of people if you want a laid back Sunday afternoon. Will definitely be revisiting soon!

Very delicious sweet menu in a private dining room for our micro wedding. Dog and child friendly

Great service, drinks and cassoulet

I'm not a huge fan of roasts, but I would go back here again and again for there's. Overall Score: 8.39 Food & Drink: 8.6 Experience: 8.1 Value For Money: 8.3

Really good quality food and a fair price. Camberwell arms has a top reputation for a reason and I would definitely recommend. You need to book though.

Hands down for the best Sunday roast in town. Excellent and super efficient service. Great vibe too.

Went there for Sunday Roast. We previously had a look at the menu and price range. We had been willing to try this place for a long time, with so much hype around it, always listed among the best sunday roasts in London. We picked the lamb ( see photo) 50GBP for two pp. You can see the creamed kale which acts as one side. Also,the photo doesnt show the 2 roasted potatoes ( cut in half = 4 halves) included. While the food was cooked properly, this is clearly the most expensive, least feeding Sunday Roast you can get in London. The portion of lamb is meant to be for 2 people.... That's one you get for one person at any other decent place. .. Left starving, disappointed and will never go again. Also note that no other sides are included and basic items such as Yorkshire pudding aren't even available to order...The service was friendly but nothing special. Tables are very closed to each other. Wondering how they go so many positive reviews.. Can't please everyone.

Came here for their Christmas menu and I was really satisfied! The atmosphere was lovely, the service was friendly and speedy. The food was absolutely delicious! The beef and dauphinoise potatoes in particular were just stunning, and I loved the homemade ginger beer.

Really good hereford steak with generous chips + salad. Reasonably priced at £28. Two accompanying dishes - sprouting broccoli and brussel sprouts were good but not stunning - the gorgonzola on the broccoli was a bit overpowering and it would have been better warm. The brussel sprouts were good but could have been al little softer. Service slow at times but friendly, lack of draught ales a disappointment. Overall though a very enjoyable lunch at a reasonable price. Was not very busy on a Thursday lunch.

Went on a Friday night, food unbelievable, nice and vibrant in there and the staff couldn’t have done enough for us. Can’t wait to go back

Staff 5/5 Food 5/5 Vibes 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 It’s cozy and splendid overall Example of prices :a pint for £6

Lamb main course is the size of a small starter. And the most expensive thing on the menu. Rip off.

We visited this restaurant on a cold November afternoon at lunch time. Upon entering we were greeted warmly with the words, the heating has just been turned on . We were shown to a table at the back and were served reasonably quickly. The waitress was very helpful and patient as we translated the menu into French for our guest. The menu was comprehensive and our order was taken and we were served quite quickly . The food was very tasty , but was let down with its presentation. Desert was ordered and I asked our waitress very cheekily for something that wasn’t on the menu. Nothing was too mush trouble for our waitress who returned with what I asked for. Exceptional service . The bill was slightly high for the quality but the overall experience was good . Would we return, certainly but not till the weather improves. My feet never did get warm

This review covers a couple of experiences that I’ve had at the Camberwell Arms. I first dined in this pub earlier this year to celebrate my birthday with one of their renowned roasts. The service I experienced from one of the waitresses was disappointing, which meant that my overall experience wasn’t what I’d hoped it would be. I got in touch with the venue and spoke to the GM Callum who listened attentively to my feedback and invited us back to the pub to hopefully have a better experience. I went back feeling slightly apprehensive however, my boyfriend and I ended up having the most wonderful afternoon and received absolutely incredible service from Callum and the other staff, plus the roast dinner was divine (we had the lamb ribs which were delicious, and the roast potatoes were the perfect combination of golden crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside). This experience totally changed my thoughts towards the pub and I really appreciate the efforts that Callum made to turn what had been a negative experience into a much more positive one. So positive in fact, that I’m coming back to dine with a couple of friends later this month and we’re really looking forward to it 😊

We booked a table at 9:15. We were seated next to the bar. Some blokes were ordering pints of Guinness and lager at the bar. We had to ask them to move before seating down ad we literally didn’t have no space between them and our table. We felt we were place out there without any care. The waitress arrived and there wasn’t any steak or fillet or any meat. They didn’t have hake either. It was shocking as 1/2 of the menu was gone. Only small plates to combine with the non existent protein. Why offer tables after 9pm if you can’t offer the same service/ food as at 7pm? We felt like we were taking the left overs. We left. End up in FM Mangal. Not by choice but because we were hungry. It turns out we eat, the service was good and we had some shots too, fraction of the price. Camberwell arms food is delicious, is just that isn’t consistent and pretentious. Because they know is good they don’t care how the come across to customers. You are good until you aren’t anymore.

The staff and management went above and beyond for us. We booked a roast for 4pm (which is pretty late!) and a few of the options had run out. Some of our group were unable to eat the remaining options and the staff and management quickly came up with two alternative dishes at no charge! The quality and flavors were outstanding, but the highlight was really the staff- incredibly friendly and accommodating.
