About Culpeper
Upscale pub fare & creative cocktails served in an airy, industrial-chic space with a roof garden.
Ex-Truman pub which changed hands and was renamed in 2014. Now unrecognisable, it looks more like a Shoreditch warehouse conversion, with glazed tiles, bare brick, metal bar fittings, parquet floor. Seems very popular, with a trendier after-work crowd. The first floor kitchen is Open and bookable for Lunch Tue-Fri (12 – 3pm) & Dinner Tue-Sat, (6-10.30pm).

We enjoyed a gorgeous Sunday roast here last week. The portion size was generous but not too much that you couldn’t finish it all! My partner had the beef roast, and I had the vegan roast, and we both thoroughly enjoyed them! The staff were very accommodating when we asked for extras like more gravy or a Yorkshire! They have a nice selection of beers which we started with. The glass of chilled Portuguese red was perfect on the 30 degree day we visited 😅 But I must say my favourite part of my meal was the orange tequila cocktail I had, I am still thinking of it to this day! The building…

Went for a delicious sunday roast here. We were 20 minutes late and they kept our booking which was so appreciated. The Culpeper is a beautiful pub with a great atmosphere and interior design. The food itself was also so so good. We had comte and black garlic croquettes which were delicious and then I had the chicken roast. The roast was sensational and my friends beef also lovely. Would 100% come back here

First time staying in a pub. What a great experience!!! The rooms were great. Even though the bar was popping it was quiet when we went upstairs. We ate at the restaurant for dinner which was one of the best meals in London! The rooftop was great and free breakfast at the Buxton was amazing. Will be back!

Food was good - very generous portions and good value for the quality. The mimosa was excellent and we were fortunate that the New Zealand waiter/manager (so sorry we didn't get his name) is clearly passionate about his job and made a lot of effort to find a wine we would enjoy. The barman downstairs though didn't know how to make a Bloody Mary and told me the rose was dry "it's pale pink so it's dry". The other staff apart from the NZ waiter were a bit off hand, hence the 4 stars. Overall I would recommend.

Great pub and a good selection of beers. If the roof is open idyllic and lovely. They do manage numbers up there so makes it even. Nicer...if you can get up.
