The Cumberland Arms is an independent gastropub at 29 North End Road in Hammersmith, just around the corner from Olympia. Its cosy local atmosphere supports anything from a quiet drink to a full lunch or dinner. The kitchen combines seasonal British ingredients with Mediterranean and Italian influences, using produce delivered regularly from the markets.
Starters may bring burrata with tomato and pesto, a crisp Caesar salad or mussels steamed with white wine, cream and parsley. These dishes show the menu's balance between fresh produce and generous comfort. Daily specials respond to what is available, giving the kitchen room to offer braised meat, fish and vegetables at their best.
Main courses range from roast sea bass and salmon fishcakes to bavette steak, braised beef and the Cumberland burger. Tuscan sausages with mash, penne with Italian sausage ragù and ricotta and spinach gnocchi continue the Mediterranean character. Sunday roasts remain an important part of the week, with traditional accompaniments and a relaxed pub setting.
Sticky toffee pudding, fruit crumble, affogato, ice cream and a carefully chosen cheese plate offer several ways to finish. The bar pours well kept real ale alongside craft beer, gin and an international wine list selected for the food. With a terrace, friendly service and changing specials, The Cumberland Arms works equally well for Olympia visitors and regular local diners.
