Situated on the streets of Streatham, we popped along to the Manor Arms to trial its upgraded space, upgraded food and, most importantly, upgraded drinks list!
You’ll find this dog friendly, country-style pub a stones throw from the High Street and its undoubtedly set to be a local favourite. Here’s what we thought
THE FOOD
An absolute beige beauty. Too many people shun the thought of beige food but quite frankly, when done right, we love it. The Manor Arms partners proper comfort food with sophisticated flavours and its variations of crispy, deep fried coatings (from batter to breadcrumbs and everything in between), are cases of pure joy. Fillings don’t disappoint either, flakey white cod sits in a golden batter and is served with an extremely generous portion of chips and both duck croquettes, halloumi fries are packed with flavour and fried, breaded meats. Prices for food are really reasonable at just £5 a portion for sides and up to £18 for a main including lamb shank shepherd’s pie.
THE DRINK
The Manor Arms seems proud of its drinks offerings and whether it’s local, national or international, the passion is there! Their wine list boasts beautiful variations from Chile as well as sparkling offerings from South Africa and the beers hero local London creations including the Camden Beer Co. Find yourself more set on a spirit? Don’t worry, the gin list and spirit spritz’ are second to none.
THE ATMOSPHERE
No matter what time of year you pop on down to the Manor Arms, we think you’ll be pleased. It’s revamped outdoor space is decorated with lights and there are hideaways strewn with blankets and log fires that you can hire for groups or a cosy eve for two. Inside, the space resembles those not-so-hidden gems you stumble across on a weekend of exploring outside of the city. Soft lighting and soft colours make for a relaxing trip. There’s also The Kite Room which often acts as a bar area overspill but also can be hired for larger groups. Still want more? They’ll throw on some truly exceptional live music. What’s more to love?
