Pope Street Bar & Kitchen is an award winning neighbourhood bar and restaurant in the heart of New Eltham. Set almost opposite the railway station, its open dining room and bar provide a welcoming social hub for coffee, brunch, dinner, drinks and family gatherings.
The main menu moves from sharers and small plates to burgers, sandwiches and comforting mains. Current choices include buffalo wings, smashed beef burgers, buttermilk fried chicken, fish dishes and plant based alternatives, with a separate selection for children and desserts to finish.
Sunday brings a generous roast menu with beef, chicken and a vegan option, accompanied by roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Brunch is another focus, covering cooked breakfasts, eggs on sourdough, French toast and packages with a choice of free flowing drinks.
Craft beer, wine, spirits and cocktails make the bar as important as the dining room, and outdoor seating offers another place to meet in good weather. Quiz nights, live music and other regular events support the community atmosphere, while an upstairs private room with its own bar can host larger celebrations.
Address: 396 Footscray Road, New Eltham, London SE9 3TU, United Kingdom
