Carpenters Arms

great authentic English pub with great local beers. one downside is that we were very hungry and they didn't have to much on the menu. but if your looking for a great drink or cocktail this is a gem off the beaten path.

Nice place, had a great crowd even on a week night. Good selection of beers. I'll be back again soon.

This is a straightforward pub with a traditional exterior and fairly plain interior, with some nice tilework just by the entrance. It's tucked away just a few minutes' walk from Marble Arch. Seating is at upholstered benches at the front and tables at the back and around the sides, with plenty of standing room.


The main draw is the interesting selection of real ales on tap - up to half a dozen. The choice last night included Adnam's Bitter, Harvey's Sussex Bitter, Cottage Christmas Cracker and Archer's Old Bill Bitter. They serve traditional bar food at lunchtimes Monday to Saturday, but we've not eaten here.


Service is efficient - being in an area with lots of offices it can get very busy with the after-work crowd. There's Sky Sports on the TV, but it doesn't seem to be too intrusive.


A good respite from shopping in nearby Oxford Street!

Love this pub! Great place to enjoy a pint and watch some sports (World Cup Finals for us!) They have a great selection of beers and even offer some tasty bites. Good place for locals and tourists to imbibe and hang out for an hour or two.

Great spot to get a drink and watch a game. They have a couple tv's, the staff is very friendly and drinks very reasonably priced. They don't serve food, but we came for drinks and the game only so it was perfect!

I went here with my family and girlfriend to meet a relative that was visiting from LA. The pub is pleasant enough with an array of locals propping up the bar and having banter with the bar staff. Sometimes pub locals can scour at you a little when you walk in the door but this place seemed to have a nice enough atmosphere.

The relative we met was there with friends who lived above the pub and they had great knowledge of the local area and the best places to eat after a couple of drinks.

As we got hungrier they described what was on offer and we decided on ordering some grub from a local Iraqi place. They passed around a menu and I thought we were just looking at what we fancied ordering so we could order quickly when we arrived at the restaurant.

Then a little while earlier a guy walked in from the restaurant with two huge bags of take-away food and plonked it down on our table. We had ordered food to the bar and I had been none the wiser.

I love that this pub allowed us to order food from somewhere else to eat in the bar. It was nice, relaxing and comfortable.

As for the food, it was incredible. But you'll have to read my other review on that titled 'Minqala'

I have been here many times. Their meat pies and Nicholson's fish are excellent. Nice tap selection! Bartender seemed to be the manager today and was very kind and professional today. Thanks for the gift! Also a nice quieter spot just away from the big crowds.

A cosy pub,reasonably priced drinks,nice atmosphere,friendly staff. We popped in here after a meal at Sandy's.

Wow ... fresh, local & delicious such an incredible dinner. Service was quick & friendly. Beautiful night on the patio which is lit up. Fantastic experience. Enjoyed the brill, steak, pasta & chicken. All good choices. Ice cream good but pricey, for dessert. We will be back soon. Thank you chef ‍

Great place to have a beer and watch the game. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, the beer selection was solid, and the atmosphere was calm and focused on the game. I'd definitely go back again to watch another match.
