The Kennington is a contemporary local pub at 60 Camberwell New Road in Kennington. Open since 2012, it combines a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere with a kitchen built around freshly sourced produce, giving guests a comfortable setting for lunch, dinner, weekend gatherings and drinks at the bar.
Starters and sharing plates lead into familiar British pub dishes, seasonal specials and lighter choices. Meat, fish, salads and vegetable preparations provide enough range for different appetites, while the direct style of cooking keeps the emphasis on comforting flavours and ingredients suited to the time of year.
Saturday brunch gives the kitchen a more leisurely daytime rhythm, while Sunday is centred on a full roast. Beef rump, chicken and slow cooked pork belly can arrive with roast potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, alongside a mushroom and lentil option for diners who prefer a meat free plate.
Cask beer, lager, wine, spirits and soft drinks make the pub equally useful for a quick drink or a complete meal. A children’s menu, a dog friendly welcome and regular events strengthen its role as a community pub, with the food programme offering a dependable reason to visit throughout the week.
Address: 60 Camberwell New Road, Kennington, London SE5 0RS, United Kingdom
