Morpeth Arms, Pimlico
58 Millbank, Pimlico, London, SW1P 4RW
Latest comment about the Morpeth Arms:
I needed a pub in the Pimlico locale the other day, and immediately the Morpeth Arms came to mind as somewhere that I had visited many moons ago, but had been reliable in respect of beer quality, character and service. I did read the recent reviews on BITE beforehand which didn't bode well, but nevertheless due to the sheer convenience (a quick drink prior to attending a swanky dinner do at the Tate Britain), and the write-ups of the other boozers in the nearby vicinity being even worse, I decided to soldier on. I have to say that what I found wasn't startlingly good, but not stultifyingly bad either. Yes, on balance I found the Morpeth to be, well, okay. Average. Acceptable. Uninspiring. The pub retained its interior and exterior character, and the beer variety was good - the usual Young's plus various extras thanks to the latest contracts brokered by the pub co. The Deuchars I had was in reasonable condition, if a little short in measure, but that in itself is - alas - hardly remarkable in London nowadays. Service was lacking; it was a busy night but waiting almost 10 minutes when there are 4 people on was a little beyond legitimate expectation. But when it came it was with a smile and - sorry - but I couldn't fault the barmaid on the looks front either! This was a short drop-in so I couldn't really comment on the quality of the present management too deeply, but it seemed like many other pubs in the capital (well, those that remain open anyway) - impersonal, but passable. That said, my memories of the place from years back suggested better and so perhaps it has lost some magic.........
