We stumbled into Lucas Arms for lunch on a sunny summer day, and immediately found a slice of heaven in the sunshine of their patio. First off - the wonderful staff here (a man and woman) were the most delightful people we met on our trip! The woman had such a lovely personality and I throughly enjoyed talking to her and considered myself lucky to have met such a wonderful and friendly person! The food were was delicious - we split the fish and chips and grilled haloumi. Loved my mushy peas (an all-time favorite dish of mine that I cannot find in the US), and the strawberries were such a festive addition to my champagne! We loved this neighborhood and our visit to this pub and will return on our next visit to London! read more

What a great random find in London near Kings Cross Station. We stopped in here for lunch and a drink on the way back to our hotel. The service was good and the pub comfortable. We both had beers and I had the Koren chicken bites, sausages, and the jerk buns. All the items were good and the jerk buns really unique. My mom had fish and chips and enjoyed that as well. read more

Really ordinary food. Fish and chips with no chips, so a baked potato served instead... took half an hour to get some butter to put on the potato, by which time it was cold; also served with completely tasteless peas. Fellow dinner had nachos which consisted of a plate of corn chips with the odd condiment dribbled on. read more

Excellent, all around. It wasn't too crowded, it had a great atmosphere, and the food was delish!

A amazing place. A must stop for beer and food for anyone. Service was excellent. Loved the bar, beer garden and indoors.

Family stopped in for a small bite and pint after long day of exploring. The staff and service were excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

Stopped in for a pint. Good outside sitting areas (front walkway and patio). Friendly service. Didn't try food...but did eyeball the wings. Perhaps an option for the future! read more

I came here for an early supper and beer. They had a great local IPA. The fish and chips was hugggggeeee and very good. They had the rugby game on and lots of folks were cheerful and hanging out. The woman who served me was lovely and sweet. read more

Tried their fish & chips and it was great. The only reason for the 4-star review instead of a 5-star review is the portions are small. It's a cute location and the staff members are very helpful. I cannot comment on the alcohol since I do not drink alcohol; however, my friends said drinks were pretty good. read more

Cozy little spot that the locals told us about for good, non posh spot for fish and chips. We had an awesome beer selection and the locals know what's up! My husband loved the fish and chips! Hubs and I made a deal.... while on vacation ill try everything. I hate fish! This non fish eater tried it and LOvED it! No seriously, I liked it so much that I ate another five bites! It was that good! I had a chicken and mushroom popover which is basically a classier version of a pot pie. Super tasty! You order at the bar and seat yourself. We could tell it's the locals fav! read more

This was a nice little pub! My fiancée and I stopped in for a few drinks while vacationing in London last month and they had a pretty good beer selection. The bartender was nice enough to let me try a sample of a few of the draft beers, which is not something that every place will allow. The atmosphere is very comforting and this really felt like a place that you could spend hours lounging in with a few friends. I would definitely stop in again if I'm in this part of London in the future! read more

Wow, so I'm only the second review and at that, I was an American Tourist. Okay. So, I don't know what it was before (per the other review) but we ended up meeting friends here because our first choice was booked for a holiday bash. I don't know, I thought it was quite nice. Sure it didn't have that classic "pub" feel to it, but the ales were decently priced, we were able to get a table for 6 although we had to stand for a bit whilst waiting, and the bathrooms were clean and not smelly. We knocked back a few pints and enjoyed watching the Student Riots around Parliament on the television (we were there on 9-Dec-10). This was a bit further of a walk from our hotel than I had thought and so we suffered a bit for that, but it was still a nice place all in all. read more

Drinks were good although they were out of the stuff needed to make the special they had listed at every table. Their cocktails were decent - not strong but not weak. Service was poor but tolerable. Deducting a star because they stop serving food at 20:45 (not even any bar snacks) which is way too early. read more

Not all that fantastic, but fairly middling pub. They have a bullseye machine, which is really frustrating, as he tends to throw the darts at questions that you didn't answer. Which means you end up with a microwave, and not that holiday to Mallorca you wanted. read more

We visited Lucas Arms on a Friday and were warmly welcomed by 2 kind ladies. We sat in a corner table and browsed the menu and then placed our order at the bar. They have an allergen menu brochure readily available at the bar, which was very nice. We ordered fish and chips, a mug of creamy tomato soup, a fish goujon sandwich with hashbrown bites and crunchy coleslaw, as well as a nice cold pint of Strongbow. Service was impeccable and the food delicious! The interior was very cosy and local as well, which is very nice. They have a few tables on the patio near the back and great deli deals that include a sandwich, side and pint for just 6.99! They do have daily specials and these are listed on the menu at their website. Coffee and cake are just 2.99 daily! Lucas Arms is just a few blocks from Kings Cross and St Pancras. Definitely a great find! read more

Lucas Arms - Lucas Arms has about 5 tables on their patio - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

This is a crushing review to have to write, but the state of the grand Lucas Arms has deteriorated beyond recognition. Before the remodel, it was a wonderfully boozy old Victorian pub. Worn around all the edges - both interior and patrons. These days the old Governor Jerry is gone and it's been Starbucks-ified and lost all its soul. The staff is still wonderful and there are a couple of old neighborhood salts at the bar, but the Lucas Arms is gone, gone, gone. Now for news you can use: Real Ale, Standard pub prices, nice staff, reasonably clean loo, pub food available, Sky on the telly, fruit machines, heated beer garden, not too far from Kings Cross station and right across from Water Rats if you want a quiet pint before a show. Can't imagine going out of your way to visit, but if it's in your line of sight, they do sell pints. read more

Aww, my local reliable pub! Love this place. Friendly service, quick meals, and the typical reliable, hearty pub fare. Prices are reasonable and there are drink specials. read more

I had a GREAT steak here about four years ago and had high expectations. It's since become part of a chain and the food was nowhere near as good. I probably should have had the fish and chips! I was there for food and not the pub experience and left disappointed. If you're there for the pub, sounds like you'll be pleased! The atmosphere is five star, food three star. read more

Nice on the outside, usual selection of Greene King beers. Great range of meal deals, price wise, quality not as good though very much a cremate in the microwave type selection, however at £6 for a burger, chips and a drink what more can you ask. Sort of friendly staff however the humour value of the manager bellowing 'Thank You' at the top of her voice when someone used the toilet without buying a drink completely destroyed the atmosphere, and became so annoying we left, as our conversation was destroyed, and changed the venue into some kind of vulgar ale house that Peggy Mount wouldn't have been out of place running, rather than a nice atmosphere that we expected. Even more annoying was that it seemed to be for the benefit of the staff who she was entertaining. Positive factor cheap drink offers. read more

Nice on the outside, this is a Greene King local pub that is unpretentious and does what it says on the tin. Inside there are a couple of tv's, low level music and a patio area for the smokers. There is a wide and good range of drinks, that are really competitively priced, and generally there are some offers on. They do a great lunchtime offer, a deli deal which is around £6 and includes a pint and they do a great Burger and a Beer offer. Staff an eclectic mix, a friendly manager, and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

It's a pub, they have good taps, good Barmen and well, it's a pub. Every time I stay in the kings cross area this is the spot.

Great fish and chips. Very fast service and friendly staff. Three beers on cask which is my favorite way to have velvety brew. Many more beers on tap as well. read more

I went here with a group of 10 while visiting London. It was recommended to us by a concierge in our hotel. I would like to say, it wasn't bad with a group often, but it would of been much better with a smaller group. I was not impressed with the service, as instead of a server taking your order, you have to go up to the bar, and order your food, and then they deprived it to your table. This was quite chaotic with a group of 10, and it ended up messing our order up. Though the majority of us ordered fish and chips, a few didn't, which I think messed up the order. The service wasn't terrible slow after ordering our food, but two people who didn't get the fish and chips didn't get their food at first. One of them got the wrong food, which was sent back and replaced rather quickly. The other dish was a pie - not a desert pie - the pie didn't come until much later, after everyone finished there food. This is the main reason I'm not giving it a 5 star. The fish and chips were amazing, and everyone seemed to like there's too. The people working at the restaurant were very friendly, but our order did get messed up. I don't hold them accountable for this, as I believe our large group messed it up. I would highly recommend people go to Lucas arm, and order the fish and chips. read more

Wanted something fairly light for early dinner as we've just arrived after a trying 24 hour travel from NZ. They were busy with seemingly locals having drinks but we seemed to be the only ones eating. The staff were lovely even to giving us samples of a couple beers when it was obvious we didn't know their on tap selection. We had scampi and fish with chips. All very nice. read more

Such a nice pub! Just around the corner for me with cheap prices for beer and a nice atmosphere!

A traditional English pub serving beer at cheap prices. The pub is moderately busy, cosy, and relaxing except when there's a football game. The crowd is a mix of locals, students and professionals. read more

I meet up with a group of friends to catch up every month, and it's always great in here. Even when they're completely understaffed and harried, the staff are great and do their best to sort everyone out. The food's good, there's a nice range of everyone and it's very reasonably priced. read more

Loved Lucas Arms while abroad! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and welcoming to travelers, and the atmosphere was friendly. Make sure this place is put on the list of places to hit while in London! read more

Stopped in a couple of times, and was very happy. The food is very well done, the service is friendly, good atmosphere, and actually not over-priced. The bangers and mash were my favourite! read more
