The Cleveland Arms in City of London, Westminster

La comida era excelente, no puede ir mal con el pollo supremo o hamburguesa. Mientras que la comida gana 5 estrellas por sí sola, el verdadero punto destacado fue el GM Duncan. Este hombre se tomó el tiempo de su noche CLARAMENTE ocupada para sentarse y charlar con algunos estadounidenses despistados sobre la selección de cerveza, nos regaló historias maravillosas y una gran conversación. Él fue capaz de señalarnos a algunos otros lugares de la ciudad que disfrutamos, incluyendo un bar temático de Filadelfia para recordarnos a casa. Quítate el sombrero a Duncan pero también al equipo de la cocina. Alrededor de una experiencia maravillosa.

Nos recomendaron ir a The Cleveland Arms por una chica que estaba corriendo y había tenido que parar en el semáforo. Dijo que era un lugar que usaba y que la comida era buena. Todos cenamos carne asada. La carne era absolutamente perfecto, de hecho hermoso para comer y tan tierno. El personal era muy amable y él era el gerente / propietario ... .. tenía acento, estaba tan atento a los detalles y se aseguró de que la nueva chica que estaba tomando pedidos y entregando comida a las mesas puso el plato correctamente y mirando de cierta manera al cliente. Sí, está un poco fuera del camino, pero qué joya. Me alegro de que nos dijeron al respecto y sin duda volvería si en Paddington de nuevo.

Una cálida bienvenida, gran hospitalidad. Comida y bebidas muy sabrosas. Mi nueva bebida favorita es el oporto blanco y tónico, pruébelo se sorprenderá. el camarero era muy conocedor y sociable. Ojalá este pudiera ser yo local 😄

Endroit choisi sur le vif en arrivant à Londres encore sur le décalage. Bavette de bœuf goûteuse et tendre, poisson bien cuit bon accompagnement, bon choix de vin. Aucunement déçu! Bel endroit ! Bonne nourriture. Très bon service. Assez rapide mais pas brusqué.

Una joya escondida de la calle principal (también conocida como Craven Rd) en Paddington que tiene un gran bar a nivel de la calle y un excelente comedor abajo. Llegué sin reserva y no fue ningún problema. Cuidado por el personal del bar muy bien. Comida excelente.

Nice staff with a warm welcome. Beautiful looking pub both inside and out. And the olives were lovely. Unfortunately the fish and chips were awful and the Peroni was room temperature. I tried another one to see if it was just the first pint that was bad, and the second one was the same. I’d recommend anyone to nip in, grab a gin/spirit/cocktail and then head off elsewhere. But I couldn’t possibly recommend the food from the first impressions ( shouldn’t have ordered fish and chips in a pub? ) Though if my local chip shop served this curry sauce they wouldn’t be trading very long . It’s described as ‘chip shop curry sauce’ when it’s more like a serving of French mustard. Awful.

A haven of peace and very, very good food on a Thursday lunch. We had just spent 6 hours between check-in, flight, packaged breakfast, and lengthy and crowded TfL when we reached Cleveland Square: best choice of the day. Food was outstanding, service equally so (not many guests, but still). Thank you!

We've been auditioning new Sunday Lunch options for a long time now, since a couple of our favourites closed, and this is one of the best we've found so far. The room upstairs is absoluitely lovely, with well-spaced tables and a good vibe. Downstairs not so great but not bad from the look of it though we were upstairs so can't judge completely. The food was excellent - trout an scotch egg straters fabulous (though very small serving of trout), and outstanding roast chicken with perfectly cooked veg. The wine list is decent too. Service very good, the manager/owner (not sure which) though lovely did however seem very rushed and stressed which made the vibe a little uncomfortable - would be good if he chilled a bit :-)

The bar is amazing and the staff is the best in London! Be sure to stop here for a drink or 2! You don’t want to miss it! We will be back next time we visit.

Great little find! I called quite late and the friendly guy said they could fit me in, travelling on my own for work so I Just fancied a quick bite before bed, what a gem! I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, actually the opposite, the manager was really friendly and really looked after me, food was fabulous (nicest fish in ages!) and a lovely espresso martini 🍸 I rarely, if ever, visit London but if I come back to the city I’ll be back here for sure!

Wow what a gem! I had read some reviews and decided to book a dinner for a reunion with old friends. Absolutely perfect atmosphere, not too loud so we could catch up but definitely a fun vibe. Delish cocktails - and the risotto was fantastic. Thanks so much to all the team, we will be back! Vicki

We hosted my wife's 40th downstairs at The Cleveland Arms and everything was brilliant. The pub is beautiful and has a great atmosphere, plus the food was delicious (we'd eaten at the pub a few months before the party and the food was amazing then as well). All the staff were so helpful and accomodating with our big group and made sure we all had a fantastic night. It was so easy organising it with the team, I can't thank them enough for making it a night to remember. THANK YOU!

I booked Sunday roast for 6 friends. We had a fabulous time. The food was incredible. We were all impressed with quality and portions are very generous ! A wonderful ambience. The pub itself is very cosy and welcoming. The staff are very attentive. Special thanks to Valentino and Brian. We shall return as most of us reside locally. Many thanks

We chose this pub for its proximity to Paddington Station; somewhere to meet our daughters for a Sunday lunch when we travelled in from Oxfordshire. It was a real gem. We'd pre-ordered our roasts and sampled the beef, chicken and the veggie option. Rave reviews all round, the vegetables were full of flavour, really good gravy and delicious roast potatoes. This was followed up by sticky toffee puddings which were equally good. It was a perfect cosy place for a cold, autumn day.

I came here a few months ago with my friend, originally to have a couple of drinks and head off somewhere else but we ended up staying for most of the evening! The service was great, our snacks came out really quickly (and tasty too), lovely atmosphere and we were asked/allowed to make requests for the music being played which we really appreciated. All the staff are friendly & chatty; will be returning next time I’m in the area!

I went with a table of friends on a Friday evening and my two Labradors. I cannot express enough how exceptional the manager was and how is team emulated him. It is so rare to see and is a real credit to this gem of a find. We had a range of starters and mains and we all enjoyed what we had. Well done to the whole team. If I lived locally I would most certainly be back more often.

Myself and my daughter have just been for a meal this evening. Food was excellent service was super friendly and fast. Rang up on the off chance as we where staying in the area booked straight in at 8pm. Lovely little place with a quirky vibe and decor nice and intime. We had the beef and duck which where both mouth wateringly delicious! To finish off sticky toffee pudding which was even better. What a hidden little gem 💎

Super find. We went to celebrate our daughter's birthday with a Sunday lunch with grandparents too. Decor was lovely and inviting. Food was very very good and staff very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Prices very reasonable. A really lovely way to spend a Sunday lunchtime. Thanks to the team for making our visit so memorable.

Three of our group of eleven had the roast pork, all three were very unwell through out the night into the next day. We alerted the Cleveland but received a very cavalier reply saying ‘the meat was fresh’ it clearly was not.

The pub location and decor are all sound. We had dinner over the king's coronation weekend and were lucky to get a booking in. I had the pork belly roast and my wife had the vegetarian cauliflower option. Food arrived quickly and wow the food was top notch! One of the best roast dinners I have eaten. I could spend the rest or this review space talking about gravy, so I will try to be succinct. It was THE best gravy I have ever had. Really brought back memories of my youth. My grandparents were from further north and would really make a thing about gravy. I had completely forgotten how tasty and rich it could be when done right. Those that know this will understand. Those that don't.. Well go book a Sunday roast at the Cleveland Arms and find out!!

First visit to this pub for a Family Sunday Roast. We were welcomed by friendly staff and directed downstairs to our pre-booked table. Had starters comprising of hummus served with cold pitta bread - not good at all – in fact it was terrible. The mushroom starter though was good. I had the Roast Beef. When served it did look promising but I’m afraid it was sparse and it did not justify the cost. The beef was of good quality but not enough of it. There were no trusty wholesome roast potatoes with that crunch, but miniscule roasts that appeared not to be fresh and had that familiar (in my opinion) the day before taste. Very poor indeed. The Yorkshire Pudding was not that much better either this also did not appear fresh when served and the entire lunch was lukewarm to room temperature, not the way to serve a Sunday Roast. To conclude the lunch, I had Bramley Apple Crumble and Ice Cream. The tart apples were undercooked topped with a very fine powdery crumble mix. The only good aspect of this dessert was the ice cream. How can one not make a good apple crumble I ask. This place did look promising to have a good Sunday lunch but turned out to be somewhat disappointing!!

Unfortunately it was disappointing. The starters : Hummus starter was just a smear and small bits of pitta accompanied it. The fried calamari was a ridiculous small sized portion. For £9 you got 3 tiny cut rings within the lettuce leaves. Bravette steaks were asked...

Great food and atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent wine and beer list. Would recommend coming here for anyone staying near Paddington. A cut above the regular eats in the area.

We got a table without any issues. The tables are VERY small, and the restaurant is very dark, so just know this. They have a very short menu, but we weren’t in the mood for a grandiose dinner, so we both ordered the cheeseburger, not...

We had an excellent Sunday roast at the Cleveland Arms. It is attractive and comfortable inside, service was friendly and enthusiastic. We had good cask ale (Pedigree) as well. An extra note for Morse fans is that in one episode, The Last Enemy, Morse came...

Overall a good Sunday lunch experience. We arrived slightly early but we were accommodated and sat pretty much straight away. Lovely setting nice ambiance. We ordered our drinks just a couple of cordial and soda waters. Didn't expect bottled soda water but there you go....

Found this pub by just googling whilst in the area and my god, I’m glad we did! Service was excellent and food was delicious!! Dreamy lemon posset ☺️ Will definitely be back to try the roast!

Best pub in the neighborhood! Great food, great beers, and kind hospitality! The atmosphere is so calm, and the people are just wonderful. Will be my favorite, as always. Cheers!

If you are looking for the best Sunday Roast anywhere, this is the place. Beautifully cooked, very very tasty, best service and well priced for the quality of the food.

The pub was a magazine recommendation , Food looked great but was only just warm , the veg was beautifully cooked and the beef was lovely but again not very warm . The Yorkshire was soft and lacked a crisp finish . Overall nice but...

The vibe was great, they didn't have most of the drinks we chose though so that was a bit of a bummer. However, that burger was the best I've ever had.

Excellent food great service in an amazing pub. Atmosphere and food equally matched. Will go again and again

A delicious Sunday lamb roast cooked to order. Large sharing plate and just enough food to feed 5 adults. Gravy a little salty but other than that we had a very enjoyable family meal.

Food was ok. It was the end of the day, and roasts had run out nearly. While I understand that is uncontrollable, don’t allow tables to book for 4.30 then make people feel we are the problem. The experience should be the same at 4.30pm...

What a great bar! Just stopped in for a couple of drinks. Great decor and interior. Very clean. Good value and friendly bar staff. Great ambience and lighting inside and out. Worth a detour to this beautiful backstreet bar!

Super nice sunday roast. And the service was fantastic🤙 Rustic and genuine pub-feeling with great food and the staff is truly serviceminded and fun.

Absolutly must ! Quintessentialy british pub . Outstanding Service, brilliant interior, cool beer, great wine by the glas. We return !!

We had the Sunday lunch, I had the roast beef, which was superb, just the way you expect it to be. My friends had the Chicken and the other the pork belly, whilst they were good, the pork belly skin had not been crackled but...

Excellent service and very good food. Nice and relaxed mood. Great place for a pint or for dinner, with friends or in couple. Locals love it!

Near perfection. The excellent food and perfect balance of modern old English Pub charm were only surpassed by the outstanding service and attention to detail that was personalised and relaxed.

Dinner was superb and the team were so welcoming. It was so relaxed and easy and the food was stunning. Loved it here - just splendid!

Stunning pub. Great selection of beers and the food looked terrific. Great to sit out in the sunshine with a couple of beers. Great atmosphere

Food absolutely amazing, superb! Wonderful pub and staff, sorry we left without chance to say thank you to attentive and helpful guy in charge. A great evening. Would love to come back.

Very convenient for Paddington, good atmosphere and beers and although a short menu the food was great at OK prices for London. I’ll definitely visit again.

I met up with friends who were coming into Paddington Less than ten minute walk from the Central Line and Paddington main line station I had reserved a table for drinks and we were made to feel very welcome by all three staff members we...

We drove past this pub by chance and were immediately taken by its quirky appearance. We came back to see if it was as good as it looked. It is! The decoration is unusual. It looks as though builders were stripping out a Victorian pub,...

Upscale gastropub in a cozy location. Liked the drink and the food a lot. Fusion food from different cuisines! Well done to the team

Came for a Sunday roast and it did not disappoint- delicious food and a great wine selection. Service was fantastic- especially Ollie who couldn’t do more to help. Perfectly located near Paddington station- we will be back.

Always a great welcome and the team do as much as possible to accommodate us. great range of drinks and the food is always lovely. I am so glad that we found this place!

Delicious food, friendly and warm staff, clean and well kept place. I will be back again with my wife and friends. Recommended to everyone SUNDAY ROAST AMAZING

This a really nice pub with a very good selection of beers, a pleasant atmosphere and very helpful, friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Valentino and his team. We had a wonderful night and a gorgeous roast. From krissy, Han and henny xxx

We went for Sunday lunch in a group of 8 people, everyone ordered the Sunday roast. We were given one small bowl of potatoes and vegetables between all of us, which worked out at 1.5 small roast potatoes each and a bit of cabbage. No...

Despite the tables being only about 50% capacity we had to wait nearly 20 minutes before the staff came and took our drink order. The food was very tasty but we left hungry, the Sunday roast was more like a child's portion. On a positive,...

First vist ever on Sunday for a low-key 50th birthday lunch with two friends. Sunday roast is miniscule - very disappointing for the £17.50 price tag. Ordered a bottle of wine to have with lunch, but was unable to drink it due to a shortage...

What a great find this was, amazing little pub & run by a top manager in Toni... Sorry we could not drop in for a coffee Sunday morning we ran out of time. Yourself & you`re staff are a credit. Jim D.

Amazing place to enjoy a few drinks with your friends . Even better staff members who went out of their way to make sure our every need was met

Wanted a place close to Paddington to have dinner and catch up with my daughter and the Cleveland Arms was just perfect. Great little local pub serving super beer, wonderful food by hospitable and friendly people. What more can you ask for? Will definitely return...

We booked Sunday Lunch… excellent food, all was well cooked and delicious. The service was great… very friendly and efficient. Would visit again, if staying in the area

Popped in for a quiet beer on Saturday before visiting the football. Really nice bar, tastefully decorated, and with a nice welcoming vibe. The barman was very friendly and welcoming. Will pop back when I'm next up in London.

We booked a table in advance as we know how popular The Cleveland is. As ever, staff was welcoming and friendly, the table was as requested (i.e. plenty of space away from other customers so that we didn't have to worry about the dogs bothering...

We feel lucky to have stumbled across the wonderful Cleveland Arms. It's such a lovely pub. The staff were wonderful and so welcoming, the food was delicious (we had the Sunday roast) and the setting was really relaxed and comfortable. All their COVID measures were...

We went here looking for a proper decent Sunday Roast which was also dog friendly and this place was perfect. The food was great, the staff were lovely and it’s a nice old London Boozer! The beef was perfectly cooked and all the trimmings were...

Discovered this place searching for a nice place to go near the park. It was nothing short of the perfect Sunday roast experience! The pub is just beautiful, with gorgeous deco and somehow all the little tables feel very private. Understated but classy Christmas lights...

Came across from this pub by chance whilst strolling around the area. So pleased we stopped. A very classy pub with great service and fabulous food. Our party of 3 went for the Sunday roasts - all excellent but roast pork the stand out dish....

Everything about this place was brilliant! from when we sat down to when we left, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and very attentive and the atmosphere was lovely. We will definitely be going back!

Visited this lovely pub on Sunday with my son, a perfect meal before I came home to Wales after a lovely weekend. The beef was delicious and the roasties perfection. Shane there wasn't any choice for dessert though.

My friends and I went to this place to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast Dinner, and I must say it has been the best I ever had - the food was truly delicious and exquisite and the decor really enjoyable and authentic. Thanks for this...

The purpose here was to illustrate to my son a traditional British Sunday lunch. The dining part of the pub is small but pleasant and the service is attentive. The Roast Beef was mostly good but part was tough and stringy and had to be...

Nice decor, but the worst Sunday roast experience. Table booked for 9 people, we were told to pre order mains so called up 36 hours before and ordered all the mains. We arrived and we had to change 2 of the orders because they had...

Popped in for lunch for my birthday today and were blown away. The gentleman that served us was friendly and had great knowledge. The sea bream was delicious and the smoked salmon went down a treat too! Thank you for a lovely meal. We will...

We dined here twice for dinner during our stay in Paddington. What a lovely little pub. The bar and wait staff were both extremely friendly and helpful accommodating our lactose intolerant diner. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine selection quite varied. Would highly...

We walked in shortly after 9pm and after being ignored by a number of staff, were eventually greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be a manager. We asked if they were still serving food and he affirmed "but of course, we serve all day...

Wonderful! Beautiful and atmospheric cozy dining room, great service and fabulous food. A rare find. Somewhat dismayed to find out that it is just about to change hands. Very much hope they keep the chef and keep the small menu. Very impressed. Get the fire...

Cozy table in the basement for 3. Dinner and drinks for several hours. Had fun interaction with the wait staff and enjoyed several round of drinks and really good burger.

Good value with breakfast, friendly staff , room average. Nice to have a drink during summer in this old fashioned looking pub. Drinks quite expensive but nice.

From the moment we arrived Valentino looked after us with warmth and efficiency. The food was delicious and the surroundings and atmosphere added to the evening. This was the perfect way to start our holiday. We have been to the Cleveland Arms before and this...

Visited the Cleveland Arms in October, loved the food and service from Valentino and his team, great atmosphere in the evening, beautiful interiors and comfy seating, booking is recommended!

We booked a table to watch 2 games of rugby. We were waited on from 0800 till 1300. Great atmosphere was created by family run hotel. Fantastic staff , porridge best I have ever tasted . All food was of a good standard . ....

As people who normally are disappointed by Sunday Roasts out The Cleveland Arms absolutely knocked our socks off! I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the most amazing food. They were also easily able to cater for a member...

I dined here twice recently (once with a group and once for a tete à tete with my husband) and we had a stupendous time. The meals are delectable and the atmosphere is amazing in this little gem of a neighborhood gastropub. Elegantly sophisticated yet...

This is one of my favorite places to eat in London. Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely food. I really can’t fault it. A must whenever I visit London.

I had a dinner here to celebrate me leaving my job. There were 26 of us. Everyone was happy with their meals. Awesome decor and service. They have stepped up as one of the best pubs in London. Will come back again. Loved it.

Few minutes walk from Paddington, you would expect a typical tourist trap. But this one was quite a surprise. Nice ambience, quality food and okay prices. Do pay a visit if you are close to the station and looking for a place to eat.

I am local living in the area, and came in with my family last saturday and had a fantastic brunch, particularly enjoying the cleveland arms take on a croquet monsieur, my wife equally enjoyed her Caesar salad. They were also able to cater for my...

I have just returned from the most delicious brunch - I had poached eggs, asparagus and a side of chips! A more mouthwatering and perfectly executed "egg and chips" would be hard to find. My husbands "dirty schnitzel" was a delicious guilty pleasure .. and...

Best chips ever pate very good sausage roll amazing but small. house wine red good not expensive for the area.. service good will be going back

On a Monday night you don’t really expect much, but at the Cleveland Arms, that doesn’t matter. The cosy Victorian dining room is wood panelled and candle lit, so you are immediately transported to another time. The food is very comfortable and the wine appropriate....

Found this place by accident whilst walking through back roads from Bayswater to Paddington it feels like a step back in time just 10 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Paddington Station. Finished in traditional decor with a splendid and romantic candlelit wood...

Great food & amazing atmosphere - The setting in the back room is absolutely lovely, with tables in front of the fireplace and a cozy, chic and relaxed scenery. The food is very good - English-European-Italian cuisine fusion. If it’s on the menu, try the...

Love everything about this pub : the food, the decor, the atmosphere, the staff. It is such a cosy place, very relaxing, could come here every Sunday. Walking distance from Notting Hill. P.s : can you please do more puddings with chocolate?? X

Hastily arranged dinner turned into a fantastic evening in an atmospheric, comfortable and well-appointed pub close to Paddington Station. Lovely, friendly staff (who know how to keep their beer btw !) and possibly the best chips I've ever eaten made this an evening to remember...

Met some friends here for a Sunday Roast. Portions were small but not reflected in a cheaper price. Had to have dessert which is generally unheard of when going for a roast. It wasn't just me as well, my partner was left hungry after the...

My friends were staying in a hotel on Cleveland Square so after dropping off their luggage we had lunch here before going on into central London. The pub was, unfortunately virtually empty however, this allowed us to have a great chat with the Latvian barman....

Ate dinner here with my family. This is a nice, comfy pub that is definitely family friend. Although the menu is quite limited, the pub makes up for it through the great, delicious food and the amazing atmosphere. The staff is also extremely nice.

We had a fabulous meal here last. A small but perfect menu, absolutely faultless food and delightful service. A great discovery, with a lovely atmosphere.

A great find - the lamb roast was absolutely perfect! Falling off the bone and the accompanying roots & gravy were equally good! Yummy! Add to this the wine that was decently priced and this makes for a nice alternative not too far from the...
