About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Charming
The Anglesea Arms is found on Selwood Terrace in South Kensington, where Charles Dickens once resided at no. 11. The site was originally a market garden and nursery dating back to 1712. The beautiful traditional pub is a Grade 2 listed building, steeped in heritage from the local South Kensington area.

The site today is a vibrant and iconic London venue, popular with locals and tourists alike, sporting a routinely bustling bar area, a beautiful garden terrace, along with a quiet & cosy dining room, all serving food all day out of our AA Rosette awarded kitchen.

We are very happy for people to bring in dogs to the pub, but in our restaurant we run on a strict no dog policy. The Anglesea arms is an over 21’s premises.

    We returned to Anglesea arms today to celebrate Mother’s Day with relatives. I had a reservation, and we were warmly welcomed and offered a table outside (my request) on a beautiful day. Everything took forever…from getting water, to order drinks, to ordering our food, to getting each of the courses ordered. For 4 of us, on a day where the menu was largely limited due to Mother’s Day, it took over 3 hours to dine. Not what I expected for Sunday roast. The food was excellent as I expected.

    The pub is beautifully decorated and we had a lovely drink in the sun before being seated. However the set menu lunch (where we were asked to order all 3 courses at the start) took 3 and a half hours. Service was incredibly slow, half the table’s desserts arrived 20 minutes before the other half’s. Throughout the meal no one once communicated that there would be a wait, or came over to apologise. After 45 minutes of our mains being cleared and no one coming over to us, I went to find a supervisor and I tried to feedback that we had been waiting a long time but I felt very brushed off. And at the end of meal when the bill arrived I explained I wasn’t happy to pay the service charge and it was removed but there was no supervisor around to talk to. No one explained why service was so slow and very little apology was made. The food was fine, but the experience was a let down , especially for the price point.

    Hello Mark, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the pub's ambiance and the drink in the sun, but we're truly sorry about the slow service and the long wait. A 3.5-hour lunch is far from the experience we aim to provide, and we apologize for the lack of communication about the delays. It’s concerning that your feedback wasn’t handled better, and we regret that no supervisor was available to address your concerns. We take your comments seriously and will work on improving our service to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. Thank you for your patience. All the best, Team Anglesea

    Good starters and desserts but have had better roast meat and roast potatoes elsewhere. Booking online we were given choice of usual Sunday menu or Mother’s Day three course menu. Chose the former as knew many of group would only want one course. But on arrival told we had to have the three course menu which effectively doubled the price.

We’d love to invite you back to give us another try. We hope to provide you with an experience that exceeds your expectations across the board! Hope to see you soon again, Team Anglesea

    This place has a great atmosphere, great service, a good wine selection and phenomenal food! I had their beef Wellington and my husband had the venison. Both were perfectly prepared! I highly recommend this pub!

    Delicious food in a nice neighborhood. Enjoyed the lobster crumpet and scotch eggs. Husband liked the lamb roast and I enjoyed my fish and chips. Great evening!

    My girlfriend and I live right next door the Anglesea and frequent it on Saturday afternoons and random week nights for a delicious meal. Never once have we been disappointed. Don’t be shy- order the burger.

    Hello Charles, Thanks so much for the great review! We’re lucky to have awesome neighbours like you. It means a lot to hear that you’ve never been disappointed — that’s exactly what we aim for. And yes, the burger is a solid choice every time! Can’t wait to see you again soon. All the best, Team Anglesea
