About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Lively
Hot spot

A modern pub serving a frequently changing menu, available in our dining room, bar, and outside ledges. It's not fine dining, nor is it trying to be. We cook in a way that we as cooks like to eat, so don’t be afraid to share. If you want to pop in for a burger and a pint, feel free to grab any available space in the bar or outside. We accept bookings for tables of up to six people in the dining room.

It can be loud and slightly chaotic; at night it is dark. We turn tables because we need to in order to survive and pay the people that make it work, so please don’t be offended if we ask you to wait a moment for your table. Our dining room has limited space and we don’t offer high chairs, so please let us know in advance if you're bringing a pram or need to adjust your booking size.

Here's when we're open, so you can find what you're looking for:

Weekdays:
Bar 3-11pm
Kitchen 6-10pm

Weekends:
Bar 12-11pm (10pm Sunday’s)
Kitchen 1-5pm

Kitchen is closed on Men’s Arsenal home games.

Have been meaning to come here for many months so the expectations were high but it certainly didn’t disappoint and more than impressed! The dexter cheeseburger is the one and had to be tried. We treated ourselves to the scallops too which disappeared instantly and the fried potatoes were a perfect accompaniment to the famous burger. The staff were a delight throughout and the guinness was silky smooth. I can’t recommend this place enough providing you have the fortune of securing a table. I can’t wait to return with more people keen to experience the culinary brilliance of the Plimsoll. Thanks to all involved!

Went there for the burger but the rest, the food, the wine list and the services are special as the burger, if not more!

What a phenomenal dinner at The Plimsoll! Our waitress was so friendly and the food came out perfectly timed. Each dish was well seasoned and so full of flavour. The burger was a standout as well as the chicory!
