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.

Great food, great service. I’ve been in plimsoll before because their burger. I couldn’t come back with some friends to let them try it too. We got 5 burgers but at the end we ordered 3 more with extra cheese and at the end they were even better. My friend was looking for bacon but for me the crunchiness of meat was enough. Very good balance of flavours. I tried many burgers but probably this is the best in London. I was a bit sad realising they removed the green salad with walnuts from the menu cuz it was really good but I understand can be because the seasonal changes etc. Another must to try are the potatoes with aioli. We also got other dishes but I would say these 2 were the best. The pub was full but the service was fast. The kitchen is not big but they are very organised. Same with table service, we had some requests and the blonde girl who served us was really nice and patient haha I forgot to asked her name for the mention Overall a great experience! Thank you guys!

Food was absolutely delicious - my paperdelle was gorgeous. Wine though was disappointing - we had four different wines all of which were indifferent.

Really (really) great place. Warm, relaxed, buzzy, casual ambience. Great menu and a team that really care about the quality of the food and drink. I had a 'small plate' of mackerel (it was huge, a whole fish) and it was delicious, with a really garlicy salad. We also shared the fried pizza (small) and roast potatoes. All delicious. Cost about £33 each including a drink. Fab.
