| Overrated - decent beer but expensive and in a poncey atmosphere oftenscore6 - 26 Jul 2009 22:53 |
| Good old traditional feel corner pub, impressive floral displays outside compliment the blue woodwork well. Front corner entrance, with the bar L shaped directly ahead. The area opens out behind the bar with a slightly raised area beyond. The interior has wooden floors, traditional seating at scrubbed wooden tables, wood panelled walls with a muted colour scheme above. The pub is rather foody but to its credit not to the detriment of drinkers, a reasonable selection of Pride, Hop Back Summer Lightning and Harveys Sussex (3.20) on today. The chalkboard does advertise a huge wine range. A nice place but my pint was pulled unbelievably short, so much so that I assumed the barman would return to top it, however I had to call him back to do so. Maldenman - 19 Jul 2009 21:07 |
| The Cumberland Arms is the Sloaney staple in West Kensington. After moving from Parsons Green to West Ken last year, I don't miss the White Horse at all any more!! The Cumberland has an extensive wine selection and carries many great guest ales and traditional beers. The food is key here also with an outstanding selection of Mediterranean fusion dishes. I believe the menu changes every couple of weeks. The summer time is fab with the tree shaded seating area outside. Winter is wonderful too - with the roaring open fires and candles everywhere - very atmospheric !! I must disagree with the previous reviewer (jabbasoft) - this is the perfect local place for a pint or a glass of wine and a catch up! I have only seen the tv on once and that was for the Rugby 6 nations - the way it should be! Top marks Cumberland Arms !! financier - 30 Jun 2009 12:52 |
| Went for pre-Christmas drinks and food here. Quite austire, definitely not a pub to go to for a pint as it seems much happier catering for eaters vs drinkers. the wine and beer was nice if a little expensive, but besides your drinking companions there is no culture/entertainment/fun to be had. better pubs for a pint nearby though the food here is probably better than anywhere else local (inc tesco metro...)... jabbasoft - 7 Jan 2009 16:03 |
| Could this be the best pub in London ?! I think it could! Real Ales, Fantastic Draught Larger and Wheat Beers (my favourite - Hoegaarden :o)), not to mention exquisite food, a dazzling wine list and an ambience unlike any other. The Cumberland is truly a wonderful local to have and somewhere off the beaten track that's well worth the trip. I have taken everyone from family & friends to work colleagues and clients to this place. The Cumberland has never failed to wow everyone. The chefs are as good as anywhere I have eaten in London. The unpretentious but comprehensive menu is consistently updated with exciting Mediterranean style dishes – try the Tagine with various meats or fish depending on the season (last time I had it with Monk Fish and it was glorious) Other Pub Stables for the more traditional diner include the Cumberland Sausage and Mash or the Lamb Shank. My current favourite veggie dish is the pumpkin risotto. The team of chiefs are truly wonderful have always maintained a standard of excellence far beyond anything that the title “Gastropub” may infer. Every dish, whether it be meat or fish, pasta or veggies, is cooked to perfection using only fresh ingredients. This pub is a home from home with some of the most friendly staff you’re likely to encounter. They never fail to greet you with a warm smile ! The music is excellent and spans all genres – not just a cd on repeat as is the case in most pubs these days. Board games are available if you fancy some scrabble while you wait for your food! December is my favourite time of year in the Cumberland with the decorations, the open fires and the candles. In fact. the candles are lit year-round which is part of the charm. When summer arrives, there are plenty of seats in the sun-trap outside to enjoy some al-fresco dining. I simply cannot say enough about the quality of the Cumberland Arms. distinguished_barfly - 9 Dec 2008 14:14 |
