The Dolphin in Camden

Continues to be the grimmest pub in the area and the landlord is as grumpy as ever. Still, at least it was open on a Sunday.

Great pub, close to Kings Cross. London prices, as expected, but won’t break the bank too badly.

Watched the Newcastle West Ham match here after looking for a Newcastle friendly pub. It was a brilliant atmosphere, probably helped by the fact it was a brilliant game. The owner was also really friendly.

Great service and food. Remember, if you're not local, you may need to go to the bar to order.

Charming pub with great service and atmosphere. A great place to watch football.

Quite possibly the best proper pub in the area. Always a friendly welcome and a good atmosphere in this traditional London pub that is tucked away from the hive of activity just a couple of streets away. 2 separate rooms and some outside street seating. Very reasonable prices and good selection of drinks. Always my go to pub when in the area 👍

Good service and relatively cheap for the area. It has two bars and a seating area outside. The stairs to the toilet are a bit steep, so watch out for that. Nice place to visit.

Class pre-match away pub for Toon fans and a good selection of draught beers. Good location near King's Cross, too. Would highly recommend.

A pub for people who are just passing through. Beer selection was poor, atmosphere was the opposite of cosy and overall the place felt a little neglected and unloved.

Met up with away day leeds fans had a good time beer ok

Love this pub! ALSO left my blue umbrella here and cannot get through on the phone, could someone check it’s been handed in? It’s blue and says Charlotte on it. Thanks

Met a few friends there and had a lovely time and the staff were great. we did not have food but saw a few meals coming out and that looked good

Amazing food! Please try the lomo saltado! 😍

Back street pub with Guinness and food. Better than those on the Euston Road. Sometimes busy. Sometimes rammed. Always friendly.

Great pub with nice atmosphere, quick service and amazing food!!!

Incredible food. Ceviche was frigging muy bueno! Great place to go before catching a train. Incredibly calm place given so close to Kings X. Highly recommend.

Will be sure to come back here again with fantastic and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Great pub nestled away in the King's Cross area. Great selection of beer and spirits with outdoor seating as a bonus. Always like to go in whenever I am in London! ☆☆☆☆☆

Bit of an odd one for the area. Old fashioned boozer with an independent kitchen serving amazing Peruvian food. It is also a Newcastle United supporters pub. Which is, you know, a bit odd for central London.

Hidden gem great little friendly pub best Guinness around kings cross

A lovely pint of Guinness,served expertly by the owner,we will be back.Thanks.

The Dolphin is always a big time, for those in Black and White, generating thrills and excitement...and an atmosphere like no other! Best experience watching NUFC I've ever had...barring SJP!!

Quiet traditional pub in the heart of London. No thrills, just a good old fashioned pub. 5☆☆☆☆☆

Came here after our Christmas work party. Everyone was great (from what I could remember) 😁

Worst pub ever. Couldn’t say enough bad things about this place. The owner especially is horrible to say the least. Do not go to this pub, even if it’s the last pub on earth.

Old school boozer, with some real character....landlord has been there for over 40yrs and you could tell but in a great way, will definitely be back In the new year

I was with a group of people but I got singled out for some reason the landlord thought I was just using the toilet, I was the only one he asked, I can only assume I wasn't the correct hue.

Needed somewhere to take visiting family for a post-flight meal days before Christmas. Also needed gluten-free food, and knew that Peruvian dishes often fit the bill, so called ahead and was assured that I'd be in good hands. It's a neighbourhood pub, obviously, as opposed to a restaurant, but the chef and his son went to every length to feed us well and make sure I was safe. Absolutely delicious, comforting food. A pleasure on every level.

Great, authentic food - chef was very friendly. Definitely bring my friends again!

Good location friendly staff and selection of ales, worth a visit 👍

Food was amazing traditional authentic Peruvian food! 100% recommended!

Worst pub in London. I popped in here today. I wish I hadn't. The old man behind the bar went out of his way to be rude to me. Plenty other great pubs around for me to go once I leave here. Will NEVER come back.

Didn't eat here but note the new menu. Friendly watering hole.

Just love that Irish bartender’s vibes

One of the nicest pubs around Kings Cross - staff are lovely

The chef and staff were lovely, I particularly loved that it’s a family business. The food was amazing, tasty, colourful; specially the authentic Peruvian dish named “jalea” & “ceviche”. I fully recommend this place if you are looking for original Peruvian food. Thank you so much for having us, I will be back for sure :)

Great Guinness and we were very looked after (thank you for the tea!)

Ottimo pub e buon cibo Peruviano

Proper pub, I understand that the landlords been here around 40 years, that why the pubs so good

Great pub for the last one before boarding your home bound train from St Pancras / King’s Cross after the match / day in London. We found it when trying to get in 5 star standard hotel bar, ‘dolphin up there lads’ was the bouncers retort. Great grumpy landlord, sport on, outside seating. Been twice now after london thrashings, perfect place to end the visit. We’ll be back in December 2023 and whenever we play Brentford. Didn’t try food but told its superb. Oh yeah and they accept cash, pretty rare down the smoke

What a gem - staff were overly helpful and the side bar was perfect for our get together at short notice! 100% worth nipping into (not a bad juke box either)

Lovely local pub, great tasty simple food, actually very delicious…. Fully recommend

Outstanding Toon pub - atmosphere for the Dortmund CL match was amazing, Newcastle away from Newcastle. Peruvian food was lovely as sharing portions for the table, and Guinness was decent - extra points for stocking Newcastle-based breweries too! ⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️

Buen sitio para tomarte una buena cerveza, dentro algo de ruido con las pantallas de TV con deportes, pero fuera estás de lujo. Personal correcto

A must visit for a dinner if you're around. Absolutely perfect.

My wife and I were in London recently and staying near the Kings Cross train station. We decided to go out for dinner and came upon this restaurant which serves Peruvian food. We went in and sat at a table for a few minutes and went up to the bar and asked the bartender if we ordered there and he said no , to have a seat, and we would be waited upon. After waiting 15 more minutes and not being waited upon we left.

A great little modest boozer super close to Kings Cross. Good local vibe with plenty of seating out the front. Has a great Peruvian kitchen which pumps out some amazing food. Plenty of telly's for the sport and a juke box in one of the rooms.

Good beer and great food. We had a good evening.

Great variety of drinks and food

The Dolphin just to the south of the main Euston Street is a blast from the past. All good as long as you don't need a cask ale. Plenty of choice from the keg. Juke box from the birth of the Eurovision song context. All good fun and quite Irish. Please note, no cockfighting allowed in the pub!

Had a quiet beer here, nice little pub

Fantastic authentic Irish pub with the bonus of excellent Peruvian food.

NUFC!! Love this pub - gets packed real quick. Brilliant atmosphere

Proper traditional Irish pub great food and atmosphere.

The food here was recommended by a friend and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The crispy pork belly was seriously crispy and addictive! Ended up over ordering and took some home. Tasted just as good the next day!

Food was nice, so the staff. Quiet pub by 6pm to enjoy the meal with a nice cider.

Currently sitting in here watching Ireland’s first game in the Rugby World Cup 2023. Nice enough pub and good Guinness BUT curious why I was charged £6.30 for my first pint and then £6.40 for my second pint? Only 10p but what is that about??? Was I undercharged for the first pint or some sort of incentive to stop binge drinking? Won’t risk another sudden price increase so I’ll watch the second half elsewhere.

If you are looking for a real London pub with a twist, check out The Dolphin in King's Cross. They serve amazing Peruvian food, prepared by a top chef who infuses traditional and contemporary flavours. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is lively, and the portions are generous.

Classic Irish boozer close to Kings Cross station. Lots of seats outside and a pool table. Reasonable prices for location. Friendly staff.

The dolphin is right next to the standard and maintains high standards of its own. Nice little sitting area outside, cool Irish vibe

Visited here to wait for our train, we felt so welcome the minute we walked in. Straight away talking to strangers. Smashing little bar anyone from the North will feel at home here

Friendly local pub. Nicely place down the back street just one road away from the busy high road of Euston.

Nice pint, cosy pub and very tasty food. Great spot

Scrumptious Peruvian food cooked by the nicest chef ever. Absolutely eating here every time I'm getting on/off Kings Cross from now on !!

Very busy with people who were visiting for the weekends game at Wembley really enjoyed our visit.

Guinness is excellent here, very good cellar. Can get lively in the compact bar. Outside seating and friendly service.

Nice little pub. Good choice of drinks and menu. Polite service and helpful.

What a miserable old Irish man serving

Delicious Peruvian food! Really great

The elderly barman, extremely rude and most likely racist. Stay away

Nice little local boozer, but what makes this place special is the Peruvian food!! Truly delicious, traditional cuisine cooked by a lovely chief and his son. We had the seafood stew, pork adobo, ceviche and octopus grill — and we’ll be back. Hidden gem.

Decent for the area, definitely a step above your O’Neils etc. Decent Guinness and the food looked interesting.

Excellent find. Went here on a recommendation. Great beer (especially the Guineas). And the Thai food is great (the kitchen is independent and they come round with a menu).

Excellent local pub near where I was staying popular pub with Newcastle fans Wen playing in London friendly staff good choice of drinks decent prices for London

As an Irish-Peruvian, never in my life did I think I'd find an Irish pub with authentic Peruvian food! My lomo saltado was great, the staff was friendly, and the vibe was bustling.

Great pub. Cracking pint of Guinness. Had a good bit of ‘craic’ with the barman. Promised him I’d be back in May 2024 cos Newcastle United are going to win the FA cup

What an absolute amazing pub staff was warm welcoming. Most certainly will be back here soon and loved seeing the Newcastle United pics on the wall.

Excellent pub close to hotel friendly landlord good selection of drink n decent prices for London

We loved this place. Real pub feel that you don't get in many london Central pubs. The bar man was lovely very welcoming and pull an amazing pint off guiness

I went to celebrate my birthday because a friend told me the bar has really good peruvian food, and it was actually really good! me and my friends spent a great time with music, delicious peruvian food and the chef Juan was always very helpful, kind and friendly. The ingredients were fresh and Juan helped me to select the best dishes to share with my friends. I will definetly come back :)

Absolutely fantastic find. We stumbled on the Dolphin Pub while looking for something to eat and drink and really lucked out . The food was fantastic and drink and service were wonderful .

Just superb..best people running the best ever pub..i was here a few months ago when a few beggars were here occupying seats on a soda water diet..what's wrong with the parks..peasants

Went there for a drink b4 going onto wembley. Proper pub prices.😃😃

Świetna obsługa. Bardzo miła barmanka:) Włoszka chyba:) Klimat prawdziwego irlandzkiego pubu w Londynie. Bardzo dobre piwa. Polecam

A proper traditional British pub near the Standard Hotel, London. Good atmosphere and convenient location (not far from the underground). The pub offers Peruvian cuisine, since we had already eaten, so we did not have a chance to try their food.

Called in Saturday evening on way back to kings cross, top guy behind the bar, proper boozer !!!

The chef and the Peruvian food were amazing and authentic. We had the ceviche and the potatas bravas and both reminded of us a visit to Peru. So good!

Best seafood i ever ate! Thank you, Chief!

Traditional London pub ideal for train travellers as it's 2 minutes walk from st pancras ,kings cross station.

It's a old English pub just really relaxing.

The highlight was the food. Authentic peruvian food and absolutely amazing quality and presentation. Proper expensive restaurant stuff. Prices were very reasonable for this quality in Central London I thought too. Would definitely come here again.

Very small with little space to sit. The bathrooms were quite unfortunate.

Small but nice. Toon bar in London

Friendly staff, easy going venue for a meet up and a few drinks.

Good late night pub,sorry if we woke the weans up🍀🍀

Love it always friendly and welcoming. Always call in when up in London.

Great Peruvian food, reasonably priced in a proper old boozer. What's not to like?

Great place to meet prior to watching the football in London..

I recently had the pleasure of visiting "The Dolphin" pub in London, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our visit was the fantastic quality of their Fosters beer. The beer was served chilled and had a refreshing taste that was perfect for a warm summer evening. It was evident that the staff took pride in maintaining the quality of their beverages, and it greatly added to our enjoyment of the pub. In addition to the great beer, we were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional taste of their ceviche. The combination of fresh fish, zesty citrus flavors, and aromatic herbs made for a truly delightful culinary experience. The ceviche was expertly prepared and showcased the chef's skill in balancing flavors and textures. It was undoubtedly one of the best ceviche dishes we have ever had. What truly stood out to me about The Dolphin was their exceptional customer service. They were incredibly understanding and accommodating towards my grandmother, who does not speak English. The staff went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, patiently assisting her with the menu and ensuring she had an enjoyable dining experience. This level of thoughtfulness and understanding towards non-English speaking customers was truly commendable and made us appreciate the pub even more. The overall ambiance of The Dolphin was inviting and relaxed. It was a perfect place to unwind and spend time with friends or family. The pub had a pleasant interior with a traditional British pub charm, providing a welcoming environment for all visitors. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend The Dolphin pub. The excellent quality of Fosters beer, the incredibly tasty ceviche, and the outstanding customer service, especially towards non-English speakers, make it a standout choice in London. Whether you're looking for a refreshing drink, a delicious meal, or a place to socialize, The Dolphin will exceed your expectations

Too loud but they serve difficult to find beers like Coors here
