Close to Olympia, Cumberland Arms is one of the most popular gastro pubs in this part of London. This stalwart keeps it real, with its well worn wooden tables and floorboards, and rich blue pained facade with golden lettering is a welcoming sight. A fairly priced menu of Mediterranean and North African dishes awaits guests here. The outside tables are perfect for an evening in fine weather.

The menu changes monthly offering options to suit every palate. Lunchtime sandwiches may include mozzarella with slow roast tomatoes and pesto, or grilled Italian sausage with tomato and chilli jam. Some of the specialities here are feta and chickpea salad, poached mackerel fillet on crostini with salsa verde and pan roasted pork ribs. For more filling options you could try rabbit and procini risotto, spaghetti with beef meatballs, grilled red tuna with couscous salad and salsa fresca.

An exciting wine list and a good sized lager selection complement the food.
