The Kings Arms Waterloo is a traditional backstreet pub on historic Roupell Street, known for eight real ale pumps and a constantly changing beer selection. Its long established Thai kitchen adds an unexpected second identity to the classic wood panelled pub. Kanchana’s Kitchen operates in the dining room at the rear, serving freshly cooked lunch and dinner every day.
Thai starters include vegetable spring rolls, chicken satay with peanut sauce, spicy fish cakes, butterfly prawns and sesame prawn toast. A mixed platter adds vegetable tempura and several dipping sauces, allowing two or more people to sample most of the opening selection together. Prawn crackers with sweet chilli sauce make a simpler snack to enjoy while choosing a main course.
Pad Thai combines thin rice noodles with egg, tofu, vegetables and peanuts, while pad see ew uses broad noodles and a savoury sauce. A hotter drunken noodle preparation and spicy fried rice bring more chilli. Green curry, massaman and panang curry can be ordered with vegetables, chicken, beef or prawns and come with steamed rice.
Stir fries combine ginger, garlic, vegetables, cashew nuts or basil with the same range of proteins. House favourites include battered salmon with creamy red curry sauce, roast duck curry with coconut, pineapple and tomatoes, and a fiery basil stir fry finished with a fried egg. Cask ale, craft beer, wine and alcohol free drinks connect the Thai menu to the character of a deeply traditional Waterloo pub.
