The Canton Arms, South Lambeth

I am a bit puzzled by the reviews I have seen here. The food at the Canton Arms is some of the best I have ever had in a pub. Granted, you won't be able to pop in and get a burger and chips, but I don't think that is the point. The food is incredibly varied and delicious, the menu changes every day and I have yet to find anything on it that didn't make me want to come back again for more. They serve food that somehow manages to be inventive, hearty and delicious all at once. The wine list is excellent, and they always have at least 6 ales on the go, at reasonable prices.

As for the staff, I have always found them to be friendly and welcoming, not to mention very knowledgable and impassioned about everything they serve there.

The best pub I have been to in this neck of the woods, by far - I saw in one of the other reviews that there was a recommendation for the Fentiman Arms if you want to go for pub grub. You could go there, but you will find much inferior food at the same prices.
