The Canbury Arms Kingston in Kingston upon Thames - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just a great option in the neighborhood

Lovely service from Tatem, she recommended the pies and we were not disappointed! Reasonable price for a meal of that quality

Brilliant sunday lunch with excellent service from Tatum - wonderful

We went to the canbury arms with the family for a Sunday roast the food was excellent are server Nick was amazing and the pub in general was very clean with a great atmosphere will definitely be going back again

Great day out with the family for a Sunday lunch great atmosphere food and service where excellent will definitely be coming back

We had the delightful experience of enjoying a Sunday roast with friends at the Canbury Arms pub in Kingston. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the cheerful smiles and courteous nature of the staff. Nick kindly guided us to our table, presented us with menus, and took the time to explain the specials of the day while noting which items were unfortunately unavailable, including the chicken roast and a few others. However, we were quite pleased with the other offerings available. The food arrived in a timely manner, certainly no longer than 20 minutes, and I must say, it was wonderfully hot, with the roast potatoes being exceptionally crunchy. Nick was incredibly attentive, ensuring that both our party and the other tables around us were well looked after, displaying a delightful sense of humor as well. After our meal, Nick inquired if we would like tea, coffee, or desserts; only one member of our group opted for dessert – the Eton mess – which was once again delightful. Overall, we were thoroughly pleased with the service, the food, and the lovely atmosphere of the pub. We are genuinely grateful to have stumbled upon this charming establishment, and we are looking forward to our future visits. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday afternoon!

Lovely restaurant and the tasty food was served very nicely. Recommended!

Curtis and Tatum looked after us wonderfully! Tha roast beef dinners and the burger were delicious. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks especially to Curtis for helping Betty into the pub and to our seats. 😘

I recently visited The Canbury Arms for a roast dinner and had a great experience. The food was delicious, with the roast cooked just right and the vegetables nicely seasoned. Tatum, our waiter, was attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I definitely recommend The Canbury Arms for a tasty and enjoyable meal."

Great afternoon thanks Tatum for the fantastic service!

Lovely pub, had a great eve, staff were amazing, food was average, not much in the way for veggies. It has an outside area, and it's heated what a bonus!!.

Lovely dinner here with great service from Bianca

Superb, lovely little find in Kingston! We were 12 guests visiting the private room upstairs. We were a little late and a little merry on arrival but the atmosphere from the staff was incredible. They made us feel so welcome and were really accommodating. I can't remember the names of the staff, but we visited on Friday 26th July.

Everything was so nice except that almost all items on the menu weren’t available, which was a shame. But service and staff were lovely.

Great service, lovely food, great place

Fabulously well looked after by Mafy and her team for our end of term get together for 25 teachers. Brilliant!

I came for lunch yesterday and had a great meal. The server, Josh, was very friendly and happy to help us. Will definitely be coming back.

Small things go a long way- and table service top ups without having to even ask the question makes this a very pleasant drinking experience. Big shout out to Tom who is the main man who makes the difference.

The barman Tom greeted us with charm that immediately put us at ease feeling welcome in this tremendous local pub. The seating in the beer garden was comfortable and Tom kept us topped up with friendly table service. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly for a friendly, local pint with an authentic feel.

Been meaning to visit this excellent modern boozer, great choice of beer, spirits and ales having not been here for almost 10 years. Had one of the best poured Guinness's I have had in a long time. Was very quiet for a Friday morning but to be expected. Service was top notch, highly recommended.

= OUR REFERENCE PUB IN KINGSTON = (just to keep it short and crisp! 🤣)

Amazing roast dinner. Very lovely venue. Very gentle service. All good here, definitely recommended. Also, dog friendly.

Great pub, with loads of space indoors and outside. Excellent menu and great service. It gets busy at times, which can slow service and food sometimes, but that happens almost everywhere. Highly recommended

Disappointingly empty on a sunny Thursday lunchtime. Lily and Ben were very helpful and friendly, food offer was a bit boring with very little choice for vegans.

Excellent Sunday roast and sides. Quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Service was very good (no drama when I asked for a different table). Will definitely be going back.

Family get together in a relaxing environment with friendly staff, Oscar looked after us. And great food!

Very nice meal good portions. Really enjoyed the Sunday roast

Fantastic food! Friendly and attentive staff (special mention to Oscar)! Wonderful ambience! Cannot recommend enough!

This place was the best throughout my trip in Britain. Fish and chips was fantastic and Shauna's service was wonderful.

A very warm and nice welcoming pub thats is being managed well and the staff seem happy to be here. The menu looks good too will try on my next visit.

Thank you got a great night. You accommodated a large party at the last minute and couldn’t do enough to assist.

Although the service was good the food was not up to standard, we all had steak , we asked for a salad instead of chips and was charged for both , and as for the Eaton Mess it was just meringue with a cheep sauce , no fresh fruit or cream or , lce cream over all very disappointing

Thanks for having my friends and I! Great evening.

A dodgy caesar salad but quickly replaced and compensated.

Excellent service & Excellent food

Excellent food, great atmosphere

Nice place, good food and Aspalls cider on draft

Food has been much improved since it went slightly downhill a while ago. Really enjoyed it. Every dish was extremely well cooked and tasty. Will make this a regular once again. Well done to the new staff!

Dinner for a party of 19 in the upstairs room. Great service, and excellent food. Would recommend!

Gorgeous gastro pub with lovely interior design. Great outdoor terrace. Tasty food. Great variety of wines by the glass, non alcoholic beer and much more

Great little pub in the back roads of Kingston, I highly recommend the food here. it's really good quality, and all of our group agreed. The chicken, ham and leak pie was packed full of quality chunks of meat. The beer is good too 😋

Very nice pub. High ranking on tripadvisor where we found it. Quiet streets and nice garden.

Nice staff and a solid pint. Vegan burger was a little underwhelming for the price to be fair. Will be back to drink again soon though

To echo previous comments; I was so pleased with the whole experience at the Canbury Arms when I was lucky enough to be part of Dog and Vic’s fantastic wedding celebration. We may have waited 25 years for the bride and groom to get their act together but Bruce and the team more than did their bit to help all of us feel special.

We had our wedding lunch here on 27th April 24. Bruce and his team we brilliant to work with ,helped us plan menus, drinks, and organised an amazing space for us our 50 guests. The food was fab, the service was brilliant and everything was very relaxed and beautiful organised. We all had an amazing day, thanks loads to everyone at the Canbury Arms.

Food was good but service was poor. The restaurant wasn’t that busy but we have to flag the waitress each time for service. The service was lacking, wine was just placed on the table, not opened and not poured. Atmosphere wise, the venue is nice but lacking atmosphere as it was half empty lacking the buzz.

Ru lovely lunch and the staff (and punters!) were super friendly - will be coming back. Also v dog friendly and my pup got lots of attention and treats so he was happy!

We really used to enjoy the Canbury arms but the last few visits have been disappointing, with our most recent visit concluding that it has to drop off our list for a while. We ordered garlic mushrooms, and were confused as the mushrooms were cold. They were actually so cold we assumed that they were intended to be served that way, so we didn’t say anything at the time. Only to our disappointment did our roast dinners come out with several elements on the plate being fridge cold. The gravy had curdled and was congealed in lumps over the veg and potatoes. We don’t normally complain/send things back but all of our plates had to be sent back for the gravy to be replaced and for reheating. They came back lukewarm - a slight improvement, rendering them just about edible, but our disappointment remained. Even the Yorkshire could be snapped in half like a stale biscuit. Honestly, it’s such a shame that this potentially lovely place is resorting to poorly reheating food that clearly has been sitting around far too long. Please get someone competent in your kitchen!! It’s such a waste, and over very silly and very avoidable mistakes :-(. Money down the drain…

Food and service were all good. Coffees were only lukewarm. A further cup was offered.

Lovely local! We've been going there for many years. On this bank holiday Monday occasion we just felt the service staff, although they tried thrif best, was very poorly trained in basic skills. The plant burger was good, just very small and the red onions should be cut into finer rings than what we had. Good decision to have really great chips and not fries with it! Could not locate a beef burger on the menu? The mushroom gnocchi looked and tasted lovely, however had an enormous amount of oily residue in the bottom of the plate which caused slight concern and followed by slight nausea later in the evening. Fish & chips absolutely spot on! Still loving the Canbury Arms though!

Sadly no draught Guinness on this occasion! And only other grumble was that the kitchen needed to have changed the washing machine water, rinse aid and or softener, everything was stained and smeared, otherwise, staff wear polite and reasonably attentive on what had clearly been a busy Easter holiday weekend. If you want to escape always worth checking out the dinning room upstairs (if not booked) with its open fire ‘cosy’!

Love this place. Great food and service. Super friendly and plenty of space for the four legged friends.

Booked a space here over the weekend to celebrate our engagement. The booking manager was really helpful, and staff on the day helped to make it a special occasion. Thank you

Great food, great service and really lovely surroundings! All staff were so friendly. Highly recommended.

Organised an area in the bar for some drinks for my Husbands birthday and we had a great time. Only negatives were a member of staff behind the bar served myself and friend our drinks but when we asked him for a bowl to just put some crisps in he replied with "where would I get a bowl from?? I don't even work here!" Which we thought was extremely odd & abit rude but other than the young man behind the bar, other staff members were friendly! The atmosphere was very lively with the rugby on which added to our day & will definitely return in the future

I really liked and love it because it was the only thing that I love ❤️. Thank you Jakub

Popped in for a quick bite to eat and a glass of wine. I had the fish pie from the specials board - delicious. We will be back again soon. Many thanks.

went for a sunday roast and was the best one we’ve had in a while!

The beef within the roast was fantastic; I would definitely get that again there. The roast as a whole was great too, including the texture of the potatoes (crispy coating, soft in the middle, and easy to cut through) albeit I'd have liked the potatoes to have been more seasoned. There was a great amount of gravy as well, albeit a little thicker would have been best. Great atmosphere & decor inside the pub, with friendly & helpful service.

Attractive looking pub. Good choice of draught beer and lagers. Spacious and welcoming. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had to wait too long for our main courses though.

Another excellent time at the Canbury arms. Staff are always helpful and friendly and food was fantastic.

Went for my daughter's birthday because she fancied a pub lunch roast. Her dad, herself and I chose the roast beef, which took forever to arrive. I'll give that it was prettily plated, but that's about as good as it gets. Let's break it down: beef - cooked ok for me, probably a bit rare for most people. And two very small slices. Potatoes and Yorkshire's had probably been sitting around for a while as they were rather hard. The Yorkshire was more disappointing because I was hoping for a crispy, fluffy delight and didn't get it. The carrot was nice - although a little over cooked. The cabbage (Savoy) was slightly more al dente than I like, but better than over cooked. Most disappointing, however, was that it all arrived tepid. Even the gravy, which has got to be the easiest thing to keep warm. The atmosphere was nice and the dining room was attractive. The staff were polite, but rather absent.

We have no food. We are having drinks. Lovely for us knitting circle.

Food was cold, ordered food and drink that didn't get delivered, out of various basics such as lime cordial. We did get a discount which was good, but would have much preferred good food and service

Had a Saturday lunch there with friends. Only one other table occupied, but we were our own party, so a great time was had. Good food, drink and service.

Lovely place for a meal on a friday. Good food and lovely wine. Lily looked after us well and made sure we had a lovely evening.

First time visiting today, and I can’t wait to come back! The food was lovely didn’t wait long at all, the staff were very helpful and made sure to ask about dietary requirements, which I think is brilliant! We had the roast dinners and chocolate brownie desert absolutely delicious!!!!

Honestly regret coming here. The service is not great and the food took over an hour to come and they had hardly any tables. For the size and quality - I don’t understand how it took so long. Would definitely not recommend and come back! Feedback - please warn customers the food will take over an hour. Honestly shocked!

I love Victorian vibe of this pub ;)

Went for a Burns Night Supper for my birthday. The food was fantastic and the traditional entertainment. The staff made the night really enjoyable. Big shout out to Lily and Lara who were fantastic all night

Very nice pub and the food is great

Absolutely wonderful place to eat with friends! The atmosphere was great and the food was spectacular (alongside being very well priced).

Great local with super food 10 mins walk from Kingston town centre.

Quiet Tuesday but food and drink was good and good value.

The salad was lovely but a very small portion for a main course. There was no-one there to greet us when we arrived. We had to seek somebody out and then push two tables together ourselves - they didn’t seem to have prepared for our booking of 6.

The Canbury always serves me and my wife really well. They’re always welcoming and accommodating and have done us some great meals in the past. They also gave us a fantastic anniversary lunch this weekend. The food’s well cooked and the menu’s nice and varied though portions of certain dishes (steak, fish) could be a lot bigger- they’re not the most generous! On the whole though, a great pub.

Great pub - lovely atmosphere and good selection of drinks.

Six of us spent a very quiet (perhaps too quiet?) New Year's Eve in the Canbury, but the service, food and price were really impressive. Between us we had smoked salmon, venison, sea bass, steak, four bottles of wine, all served with a smile, and it came in at £50 a head, including service. All things considered, I'm not sure that we could have got a better package than this anywhere I know locally.

Firstly order a soda and fresh lime but received a Cider and fresh lime (a first). Once issue raised then received a lime cordial (not fresh lime) and soda which I drank because I’d already lost all faith in the competence of our waitress. Then my wife & I both ordered roasts at £21 & £20 what we received was shocking. Beef that was once pink but had clearly been reheated from a previous day, dry pork belly that was reheated, stale Yorkshire puddings nothing was good or fresh. Don’t offer an expensive roast in a Bank Holiday Monday if the food is not fresh. It was a complete rip off. Our waitress then proceeded to get our desert order wrong and charged us extra on the bill. We checked the bill as there had been so many issues and it was corrected. Overall not the experience that we had hoped from an over £70 meal. Not what we expected from a pub that is rated 4.5 stars on Google and could have potentially been our new local.

The roast beef Sunday lunch was disappointing. The two slices of beef were very well done with a lot of fat. Two small roast potatoes and some veg. Not great value for money.

We attended Canbury Arms on Christmas day for the pre-booked 3 course set menu dinner. Fantastic service and atmosphere during the day. The starters and dessert were great and tasty, but the main course could definitely be improved. It was slightly bland and didn't seem fresh.

The Canbury Arms is a lovely place with consistently good food. We went for our Christmas meal though being a Monday it was a little quiet, hence 4 stars for atmosphere. The main course turkey and all trimmings was delicious. I have given 4 stars though as puddings we felt were not up to scratch. Not a great crumble and the tiniest slices of bakewell tart I have ever seen. They weren't especially tasty either. Staff were lovely and we were served by Lily who was very attentive. Overall A lovely evening, cocktails were great.

Good food and drink but very quiet on a Monday evening. Friendly staff and good service.

Great location, near to the station, very clean and friendly staff.

A VERY NICE AMBIENCE COVERING FOOD SERVICE

Amazing staff and food!! I have terrible food allergies and staff was so helpful with my food sensitivity, even although it was a really busy night. I highly recommend and will definitely be back because of the amazing service.

I was here for a research project it was hot weather. They offered me a chilled diet coke. And Helped me do my research. Great staff.

Despite being very busy with Christmas parties our small group of 3 received excellent service and good quality, well cooked food. Thank you.

lovely pub, very helpful and friendly staff, all round good experience

Well cooked delicious sea bream on the ‘specials’ board. A great lunch. Wine Well chilled and good service.

We had a quick drink this evening. Very nice atmosphere!

We booked the private room for a family birthday and it was wonderful. The room was cosy and warm and was beautifully decorated, the food was great and the service was fantastic. There was nothing to complain about. We had a relaxing and lovely afternoon. Will definitely be back. Oh I need toention they had a lovely selection of alcohol free beers and a sparkling. This was very much appreciated!

Incredible Sunday Roast and lovely pub. Thoroughly recommended.

Food was great and fast. I also asked for a quiet table next to a window as my son is autistic and they accommodated us very well. Thank you for making it possible for my son to celebrate my mums birthday.

Looking for great food and that atmosphere...this is the place...

Good pub grub service was amazing for a large group

Lovely warm welcome and atmosphere. Excellent service and very good food.

We had our church Christmas lunch on Sunday 26th November 22 in numbers in the private room. From booking with Yovela right through to the day great correspondence and service. Eve the manager was brilliant she went over and beyond to make sure our Christmas lunch was a memorable occasion. The room was decorated beautifully the food was tasty and good portion sizes. We all had a marvellous time and would highly recommend.

Went in for a roast with the family couple Sundays back. Was served by the manager Alex who was lovely and looked after us all afternoon. Ordered two roast chickens with pigs and blankets and a kids fish and chips. Unfortunately after paying was Informed that they had no pigs and blankets left. Was offered a couple of drinks and something else from the menu with no hastle at all. Food portions could have been bigger but the service was great 👍

Amazing food as ever, excellent staff, service a little slow but will definitely be back
