De Beauvoir Arms

Known by the locals as the DB Arms, this popular friendly relaxed pub has a good atmosphere and vibe. You cannot book, and it is always busy, with people sat outside 12months of the year (they have good heaters). However, its worth going early and getting a table. I would say it's more a food pub, than just a pub. The menu is comforting classics and the quality is very good. We went in early December and late January. Both times we shared a large table, as it was busy (unsurprisingly) and had a lovely evening. In December we chose beef stew and steak. The stew was fantastic (photo does not do it justice), rich in flavour with tender meat, and came with a bone marrow on the side. The crumble for desert was also good. In January we chose mushroom risotto and pork steak with peam garlic and cabbage mash. Both very good. Great beers and wine choice too.

Lovely and spacious pub in De Beauvoir with high ceilings and a nice wooden interior. They have a good selection of beer on tap, a long with some delicious food. The menus are posted on blackboards around the pub, and when we stopped by for a small bite, we opted for bread and oil, and the chorizo. All deliciously tasty. Will certainly make a stop by here again next time I am in the area.

The De Beauvoir Arms not only looks like but IS the perfect place to enjoy a pleasant and fun night out with friends. The place is cosy and nice and the people working there are even nicer!! Don’t even hesitate to go there if you intend to spend a night out in a London pub for a calm one during the week days or a busier one on the weekends!!!

A friendly community feel pub that served a £9 a meal that was filling and delicious!

Service was standard. I had the Sunday roast beef. Food was not piping hot so got cold quickly. The food also needed salt, which to be fair they provide the salt and pepper so I guess you season it yourself? Not a fan of that. But the beef was tender and melt in your mouth. The atmosphere in the pub was nice, family friendly environment.

Wow, is the only way I can describe the Sunday roast I had here! This pub has been on my doorstep for the last 9 months and this was the first time I’d been. Why?! The roast pork was delicious as was the apple crumble I had to follow (I wasn’t even hungry!) I cannot wait to go back, just reviewing this makes me hungry. Don’t pass by (unless I’m in need of a table!) too good to miss. I’ll be back. Update 18/3/18: Came back for another roast pork and the apple & rhubarb crumble. Unfortunately it was a disappointment this time. Both the roast and the crumble were cold in the middle and piping hot on the outside. I had high hopes as it was so good last time. I’m fortunate enough to live in the area and there are a lot of great pubs around, so will be sampling more now. Service as always was quick and friendly.

An absolutely phenomenal place for a weekday lunch. £7 (excl. service charge) for what always is a treat of a meal. You’d be easily paying 3 times that if you were served this in central London for dinner. The portions ain’t the biggest but it’s always fresh and delicious. 3 different options on the menu every day between 1200 and 1500 (come early before they run out!). This almost makes me look forward to the working week. Compliments to the chef and the whole team!

Fine but the odd surly bar staff here and there. Excellent bloody Mary though. Couldn't make it a regular pub for me but the occasional if I'm passing. Update: the serving staff still need a little urgency about them. But the wine selection is good and the chicken livers were great.

A friend of mine had her birthday drinks here and booked the large corner table - there still wasn't enough room for everyone to sit but I don't think she knew exactly how many people were coming, and at least there was a bit of space around the table for standing and chatting as well! The place was busy (well, it was a Friday night!), and there was a happy, friendly, fairly casual atmosphere. The food is great! I felt hungry but snacky, so got the tapas portions of potatoes with aioli and the risotto balls - both delicious and surprisingly filling, the potatoes in particular were a generous portion! And easy to share (although I didn't want to at first, I soon got full). I also ordered a small apple juice - no ice was offered and it was definitely a small glass, but altogether my order came to under £10 so I can't complain! Someone else had the steak, which looked delicious - indeed he confirmed that it was! The wine was flowing as well, all going down very well. I think this is a great place to meet up with friends for a chat on a Friday night, and will be back if I am ever in the area again.

Nice tapas menu. Staff are friendly and nice. The pub is dog friendly which is cool. Nice relaxing pub to hang out.
