In April 2017 this pub reopened after being closed for two and a half years by London-based multi-site operator Andy Bird, his fourth site in the capital. However, after being awarded CAMRA North London's Spring Pub of the Season Award, Andy surprisingly moved on and the lease has passed to the Disappearing Dining Club, a food and drink collective who host pop-ups across the capital.
Their website does not give any indication as to when food is served so check ahead. Bookings are only taken for weekends.
The new-look pub has quite a different layout than before with the bar moved to the right-hand side opening up what had been the back room where a lantern provides natural lighting. There's plenty of seating with open fires.
That the pub re-opened was a testament to a long-running campaign by local residents and CAMRA alike to prevent its full conversion to residential including obtaining an ACV listing. Pub had closed due to work on upstairs conversion to flats and the risk was that it might remain closed.

🚇 Tufnell Park 🍺 £6.00 Keller Pils The Dartmouth Arms is located between Gospel Oak and Tufnell Park, on the borders of Hampstead Heath. The nearest Tube is Tufnell Park, it’s a ten minute walk to get here. This pub has been trading since 1862 and has been through its ups and downs over the years. In 2017, the pub was saved by local residents and is now listed as an Asset of Community Value. The Dartmouth Arms is now run by @disappearingdiningclub who also run Simon The Tanner in Bermondsey. This is a one bar pub that has a calming contemporary feel. The bar is a good size with…

Our group of eight visited The Dartmouth Arms pub for a memorable dining experience. Lee, our attentive server, skillfully managed our large party. The star of the meal was two beautifully roasted Orpington chickens, large enough to share among us all. The bird was exceptionally well-flavored, boasting a rich, savory taste that impressed everyone at the table. Accompanying the chicken was an array of flavorful vegetables, perfectly cooked and seasoned to complement the main dish along with huge Yorkshire puds. The pub's warm, inviting atmosphere easily accommodated our party, allowing for…

You as a business should be closed because the owner hasn’t got a clue what she is doing, she’s rude, sexiest and arrogant, avoid at all cost! The food is so bad, frozen, flavourless and the portion size wasn’t even amicable for a child, the venue have fallen so far from expectable, the owner should be ashamed! Ps. the glasses are so dirty that it’s shows you they have no pride in themselves or the Buisness! 0/10

First time here for ages and I was blown away. The mushroom and the salmon starters were outstanding, followed by the pork and the fish. Beautifully balanced, championed the ingredients so well, and some clever sauces and combinations. We went expecting good pub food and got meals that were really incredible. Full of flavour, complex, and scoffable. Because I was interested in the malted milk ice cream, I ordered the brownie. I hate brownies - too rich, too sweet and too dry. Not this one! This was probably the best brownie I’ve ever had. Crispy bits, chewy bits, melty bits: not too sweet…

Amazing place. The food was to die for and the atmosphere was great. Cozy fireplace table and the staff was very accommodating of my disability. Ian is such a lovely host going above and beyond with my party. I definitely recommend the place, either if you're looking for a quick drink,a special occasion or dinner with friends and family it checks all the boxes.
