The King's Arms, Southwark

More neighborhood location scouting brought us over to Southwark's The Kings Arms, which is on the southern side of Tower Bridge.

Joining us on today's quest were Vera & Roland.

We settled in and checked out the menu, as always...







and then we ordered




Dishes Ordered:
(Pictured left to right)

  • Lamb Roast (Vera, Roland)
  • Beef Roast (Franc, Darren)






and dessert










  • Cheesecake (Roland)
  • Chocolate Pudding (Franc & Darren- shared)
  • Waffle with Ice Cream (Vera)

Observations: (collective and individual)
  • The pub was really dark. Each table had candles, which was cute, but such didn't lend itself to food pictures
  • No board games, but a good, cozy atmosphere
  • Good bar knicknacks...including a horse statue with a, "don't touch me" sign
  • The doors weren't labelled; Roland kept pushing on a "Pull" door when going outside for a cigarette, which entertained the rest of us plenty
  • The bathrooms were positively arctic, as all pub bathroms should be in November
  • The lamb was delicious, but the beef was way overcooked and just tough. Desserts were good.
  • Prices seemed a bit high for what it was.

On to the scores: (awarded on these guidelines)
