The King’s Arms is a traditional pub at 65 Newcomen Street in Borough. Set within a characterful listed building, it offers the atmosphere of a friendly local while remaining convenient for London Bridge and the surrounding business district. Guests can stop for lunch, settle in for an evening meal, watch live sport or enjoy a quiet pint from the carefully chosen bar selection.
Small plates include nachos, scampi, halloumi fries, chicken wings, whitebait and mushroom arancini. Thick doorstep sandwiches come with homemade crisps and fillings such as roast beef, sausage and onion, spicy prawn, tuna mayonnaise or ham and cheese. These choices work well for a quick pub lunch or as part of a larger order shared over drinks.
The main dishes focus on familiar British comfort. Beer battered haddock with chips, sausage and mash, ribeye steak, scampi and the King’s Arms beef burger sit alongside sea bass, beetroot risotto, vegetarian sausage and mash and a five bean chilli. Sunday brings carved roast meat, locally sourced vegetables, gravy and the traditional trimmings for a generous family lunch.
Chocolate brownie, sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble provide a classic sweet finish with custard or ice cream. The bar complements the food with cask ale, the pub’s own session IPA, local and continental beers, wine, spirits and alcohol free lager. This balance of honest cooking, carefully kept drinks and warm service gives the pub an enduring neighbourhood appeal.
