Norfolk Arms
Overview
From the street the Norfolk Arms is your typical London pub. A place where Charles Dickens might drink with Samuel Pepys. Mix and match benches and tables clutter the pavement where – rather than bewigged gentlemen – local business-types and shoppers refresh after a hard day at the coalface. Inside the traditional feel continues while a lively ambience and fresh paint keep the look free from old-man-and-dog territory. A new breed of gastropub, the Norfolk Arms has already gained critical acclaim, thanks in part to its novel ordering concept. Nevermind starters and mains, this is tapas-meets-home cooking, where you just keep ordering plates of food until you can scarf no more. Roast dinners, pates, scotch eggs and pork belly are joined by Mediterranean flavours throughout.

I've been here a couple of times now mid-week after work - being minutes walk from Kings Cross it's a great location if you're meeting up with someone and coming from/heading home in different directions and both passing through the area. The first time I went given the name I was expecting a fairly traditional British pub, but instead it has a strong Spanish vibe, with cured meets hanging...more

I went here on a Friday night. It was very busy so we couldn't sit inside. They have picnic tables outside with heat lamps, but it was still very cold. When I went inside to get drinks I found it very cramped but the décor was nice and contemporary. Service was a bit slow (inattentive bartenders). I saw that they do food and seem to specialise in cured meats, but I didn't have...more
My friend and I went to this pub to relax and wind down after spending the whole day in London. We sat at the outside area of the pub, but we did go inside. Although I did not eat the food since we were already full from eating at other places in the city that did not stop us from getting some drinks. We both got a couple pints of Sagres, which was a fairly refreshing beer.
It was also fairly...more
I imagine this would be a nice place to come on a date, but I agree with the comments about travelling distance. So, let's say a nice place to go for a date if you live/work in the area.
A classy dark wood interior, absolutely rammed with people on the Tuesday evening that I visited. Rustic dining room upstairs, with wipe-clean red gingham tablecloths and, curiously, thick teatowels as...more
