Visited The Queens Arms while in the area. Best pub experience! I think you have to get there early if you are coming for dinner or you have to reserve your table. I'm not sure on that, it's just something I thought we caught on to before we left and there started to be RESERVED tents going on the tables. We went and had Scotch Egg, Calamari, Arancini, fish & chips and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. Oh. My. Goodness! First the Scotch Egg. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but it was....ok. It was a little plain. A little tasteless. They could have thrown a few spices into the meat, just a little something. To say that we've made better at home wouldn't be far out. But still good. The calamari was cooked just right. It's what you expect out of a calamari appetizer. Was it the best you'll ever have? Not really. Worth the price? Add it to your appetizer list! The rice balls, which is arancini is, were good. Add a little salt to the top and they were, also, as you'd expect. The fish & chips were exactly as we were hoping when visiting an English Pub for fish & chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, the coating was fabulous, and of course the chips were a perfect compliment to the fish. A great fish & chips experience. The star of the show was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. What a treat! Granted I've nothing to compare it to, this was my first time having it, but whether I've had it before or not THIS was perfection. Perfect texture, the flavour was amazing, the caramel drizzle was perfectly proportioned, and the little bit of ice cream on the side was just perfect. I would go back here simply on this dessert alone. As for the drinks, because, you know, it's a pub....I couldn't say. I don't drink alcohol but my Diet Coke was great! Fresh bottle! ....I suppose I could have gotten a non-alcoholic beer. Wait....did they have non-alcoholic beer there? SOMEONE FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER THERE. The atmosphere was great. I can see how it would be perfect in the evening and on into the night. Very welcoming with a great looking bar.
What a lively place! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at The Queens Arms. The food was delicious! The fish was perfectly light and crispy. My favorite was the chicken Caesar salad wrap which was super juicy and flavorful. On the menu, it was listed as a light bite but the portion size was large enough to be an entire meal, especially with the side of greens. The cocktails were also very good. However, they were definitely not the strongest drinks I've had, especially at their pretty steep price point. For an early weekday afternoon, there were a TON of people. There was a good mix of locals and tourists, which I think suggests it's a pretty good spot. This meant that service was pretty slow though. Two tables with large parties were seated after us yet served their drinks before our drink order was even taken. The food also took a long time to come out (but totally understandable because it was very busy). Regardless, this place is a great spot to meet with friends and have a pint - I would definitely recommend for the good vibes and bites!
Food is always superb. Its best to make reservations because it is a busy place every time we have been.
What an incredible meal we had here at this restaurant. The server was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered a frozen margarita that was quite lovely. For supper I had the salad with cucumbers, pomegranate seeds and feta cheese. It was refreshing and the perfect size. My husband's fish and chips were cooked perfectly and he was very pleased with his meal. We shared a sticky toffee pudding dessert. The caramel was rich and the pudding delicious.
Service: We were taken care of warmly and thoughtfully. We arrived and got a table that was too close to the door... when a table opened up, we were promptly moved. Our server was very sweet and helped us have a full English experience. Ambiance: quiet for a pub, but also lively enough. I would go back to be amongst these things that have been around since 1846. Gorgeous place! The trip to the bathroom is fun... see video. Food: I had the fish and chips and steak frites. The fish needed salt; otherwise it was SO crunchy and perfectly cooked. The chips were SO good. My server helped me with the malt vinegar and ketchup part. The steak & fries came with a Bernaise sauce and it was 10/10 home run! We finished up with the sticky toffee cake and it was amazing. I would go back for the steak & cake. YUM
Found this amazing place our first day in London and so glad we did! The Bree was good but the fish and chips were what I have been dreaming of. My sons got chicken wings and garlic bread as well and loved them both. The cider on tap was perfect. Can't wait to come back for pudding! Service was wonderful too!
Visiting London for the first time since 1985 - the pub was highly rated and close to our hotel. We loved the pub atmosphere- it was a large mix of locals stopping by for a pint and other for a full meal. We split everything except the delicious wine. It was fabulous
I had a wonderful experience here as I came for the traditional Sunday dinner. The service was friendly and helpful. They were able to squeeze me in without a reservation. The restaurant was full The Yorkshire pudding was spectacular as was the carrots. The beef was different than I was expecting, but I'm sure it was traditional. Don't miss the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream - memorable. Very nice pre-Theatre meal.
We were looking for a spot for our family to eat. We walk around the pub and see that all the empty tables were reserved. We talk to the bartender, and she said we could have a table. We were there around 17:00 and the tables were all reserved for 19:00, so she let us know we had to be finished by then. No problem. Two hours for dinner and some pints. No problem. Thank you for fitting us in!
Excellent service. Cool pub atmosphere. Crispy cod fish and chips. High and low tables inside the pub and picnic tables outside.

Great service! We landed from Dubin and had to kill some time before our flight across the pond. We sat here for a while that goodness it wasn't busy! The staff was super sweet and the food was perfect. The right amount of portions and it came out warm and cooked well. I ordered and ran to the restroom. The server even kept my food underneath the warmer until I came back! The coffee is strong and for being in an airport check in lobby, it wasn't loud at all! read more
Very welcoming wait staff. They don't guarantee no cross contamination from gluten but did have enough options to put something together for lunch. I had the beet and orange starter with some grilled chicken. If you have to put together a gf meal like that, next time I'd ask them to plate it together so you're not juggling several dishes on a small table. Good was delicious. read more
We went based on Yelp recommendations and the hotel concierge stating The Queens Arms is a proper pub! it was a short walk from St Ermins Hotel, and perfect for ensuring you get a little exercise before and after! It's a smaller space but the vibe was very cool and energized!! love it!!! We couldn't get a table so we sat and ate at the wall bar. We had a Modelo and Guinness...to start, the Appleby's Cheshire Onion, cheese and potato pie! and Fish n Chips! Both were scrumptious and we cleaned our plates, finished our beverages and went on about our way! What I can say is that is a locally great place, like no one wanted to leave! That says tons about the people, service, and food! So cheers! I highly recommend!! read more

AMAZING roast beef dinner at the Queen's Arms. The reviews did not lie. The food was amazing! Really enjoyed my scotch egg appetizer. Best scotch eggs I've had! AND, the service was great! If you want to ensure a great experience, asked to be seated in Flora's section!! She took great care of us! read more

I stopped by here by myself for a quick dinner on my last night in London. I am so glad I stumbled upon this spot. They prepared some of the best fish n chips I've ever had! The serving was enormous, it was basically two meals. I also ordered the sticky toffee pudding which was excellent. I didn't get a chance to sample their cocktails, but they had a huge variety and this'll give me a reason to come back next time I am in town. The ambience was very warm - upscale pub and cocktail bar perfect for any occasion. I'll be back next time I'm in London. read more

We made a last minute reservation and we were seated by the door. There were two women sitting there but they were asked to leave, I presume bc they just had drinks. I felt bad. The place is a bar setting so it does get a bit loud, which is no big deal. We ordered drinks and then some starters. My husband had the bao bun which he said was very good. My daughter and I had the baked Brie with crostini. It was delicious, just wish it came with more crostinis to be able to eat more of the Brie. For dinner my daughter has just a house salad which she thought was good but a bit heavy on the dressing. My husband and I split the steak sandwich which was flavored nicely but a bit cool. My son had the steak frites which he said were good. We have found it a bit different here in the UK that restaurants don't ask how you want your meat cooked. For dessert my husband had the amazing spiced pudding, and both of the kids ordered the brownie with ice cream. They shared, so I can say first hand it was beyond good! The chocolate was perfect. read more

We wanted that London pub experience and found this place. It was super cute and lively when we walked in the main floor. We actually got to sit in the upstairs room which was a nice 7 or 8 table room with good service. He brought us everything and checked up on us frequently. Drinks were great! We had the steak burger and the fish and chips. I thought the chips with the fish and chips were a bit excessive in size. I get they are supposed to be bigger but the ones that came with my burger were perfect. There was a tasty, somewhat spicy sauce that came with the burger I'd pay to get extra of. read more

The first meal I wanted in London was fish and chips. I did a Google search for highly rated restaurants by our hotel, and The Queens Arms came up. It was a cute, traditional pub with an upstairs dining area for more seating. I made reservations for 12pm on a Tuesday. The place wasn't too crowded at the time of arrival, but it started picking up shortly after. Service was great. Food came out promptly, and service staff members were friendly and helpful. My fiancé and I both got the cod beer batter fish and chips, which was excellent. The piece of cod was huge, and the crunchiness on that fry was impressive. I oved the chips as well. Thickly cut potatoes that were also nicely crispy on the outside. I would go as far as saying that this is in my top two of best fish and chips plates I've ever had and definitely the best I've had in London. We also shared a side salad that was quite nice and refreshing. The sweetness of the chopped grapes and acidity from the dressing cut through the heaviness of the fish and chips. read more
