Canton Arms - (Near Lambeth, South East)

3 /5 Sarah & Philip: Nice pub which we’ve frequented over the years so decided to try the food, given the hype. Some highlights, great labneh and pumpkin starter and delicious steamed pudding, but not quite en pointe elsewhere. Seasoning needs attention, beef tasty but a bit stringy and pretty sure they were yesterday’s roasties. Lovely attentive staff and great service. Atmosphere really impacted the enjoyment of the meal - very crowded, got elbowed twice (accidentally) by staff trying to serve customers next to us, and very noisy, definitely would be improved by taking out a table or two. Excellent Harvey’s Best as always.

4 /5 Jenny: Interior was really a nice vibe for dinner. It was super busy so I do recommend booking. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, we had the pork belly and lamb as mains and they were both really good. Amazing portion sizes. They have a great outdoor seating area too. Would go back and recommend.

5 /5 C-Reviews: Pub is bright and light yet still feels traditional. I loved the Sunday menu, so many different and unique options on one sheet without flicking through a long menu. There was a dish to please everyone without any dish being boring, which is quite hard to achieved. Food was a 4/5, with some dishes slightly missing the mark - but overall, I’d love to return. The orange rosé was amazing - a must try drink! Lovely Sunday lunch experience, thank you!

4 /5 Nina Patel: I visited The Canton Arms on a rainy Sunday in December 2025. We had to make a reservation in advance, which you can secure one month prior. The venue is split into two areas: the traditional pub and the restaurant/bar area. You can specify your preferred area during booking. We were seated in the restaurant area, but found the table to be slightly on the smaller side for three people. The menu is a highlight—its extensive and less traditional than many pubs that solely offer roasts on a Sunday. They feature a range of great Gastro pub dishes at affordable prices, and the drinks menu is excellent. Heads up: the menu changes daily, so be prepared! I opted for the roast beef. The beef itself was absolutely delicious, and the overall plate was very tasty. However, dont expect your typical, traditional roast with Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese. Instead, expect a well-cooked dish made with high-quality ingredients. The one slightly disappointing moment was when we asked for more gravy—which feels like a reasonable request—but the staff seemed surprised, and there was an additional £1.50 charge for a tiny portion. There was a great dessert menu. Be aware that the portions are generous, so you might want to share! Overall: The food is great; its less of a traditional roast experience but offers fantastic Gastro pub fare. The service was only OK, and the restaurant was a bit too hot. Despite these minor issues, I would certainly return for a nice pub meal.

3 /5 Emmanouil Gyparakis: This English restaurant is decent, although it can get quite noisy and crowded, especially on a Friday evening as we experienced. The food itself is satisfactory, nothing extraordinary, and the portion sizes are also average. As expected in London, the prices are on the higher side, but still within the norm. The desserts offered are satisfactory as well. Overall, while I wasnt particularly impressed, the most important aspect of the evening was the good company and being surrounded by friends, which made the experience enjoyable. We had rabbit, fish asparagus and lasagna.
