The Kings Arms - Lambeth

H, k and I chose the King’s arms pub to meet last Saturday evening, for its proximity to waterloo and because they serve rotating craft beers. roosters was on our visit, so, from home. kanchanas kitchen in King’s arms. it was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night, especially as they showed the euro 2016 football matches on large screens. pleasant for us, we could get a table in the Thai restaurant, canchanas kitchen in the back room.

First I love the charm of this opposite; perfectly preserved roads of the Georgian workers' houses that survived the flash, the expansion of the nearby waterloo station and (especially) immobilien developers fortunately! to the happiness it is now all part of a protected area. the cherry on the cake is this beautiful grade ii listed pub, serving a great selection of well maintained real ales. the only reminder that we are in more modern times is the Thai menu! Although the traditional English pub bureau would rather stand with the “fine” both the pub and the opposite one would stand in, it looked very good to eat. really friendly staff and clientel; one must visit if they are in the opposite!

I do not like pubs that feels like restaurants with bars. This place does food, but I think that they have hidden the dining area out the back somewhere as it very much had a drinkers feel to it. Almost like a country pub in a village in Yorkshire. Not cheap, but that is the way the area is. I’d like to come back to this place when I’ve got more time.

Lovely traditional pub free house just of Waterloo, a true hidden gem with great Thai food and a good selection of beers

While we are looking for a late afternoon place to eat before a visit to the royal festival hall and away from all chain restaurants that we pub on this small back street in a quiet street that seemed immune to the surrounding city.... decided to get a drink and to ask food recommendations, just to say they have a Thai restaurant at the back of the pub opening in minutes. the bar staff has even suggested other places if we have not failed, but for the happiness we decided to go there and were so satisfied that we did. beautiful juicy back room as thai restaurant and served the freshest tasty Thai food we had the privilege to experience. give it a try, they will not be dissapointed
