About Hereford Arms
Relaxed Victorian pub serving Fuller's ale and food from a blackboard menu, with outdoor seating.
Large comfortable pub with one main bar and separate dining area. Though licensed in 1857, the pub was mostly rebuilt in 1865. The pub name comes from the sovereign coat of arms presented to the City of Hereford by King Charles I.
The pub won a Fuller's Griffin Trophy award in November 2017, being adjudged its best City/London pub of the year.

The hotel recommended me this place for fish & chips. Can’t say that this is the best but it was not bad, fish was flaky with creamy note but texture was a bit too soft. The beer & Guinness were fresh. The sticky toffee pudding was not really good due to the strong soda / bicarbonate taste.

I saw this establishment en route to another pub and this place was extremely busy, it was swarming with people so the Hereford arms was in the back of my mind. On my way back home, I decided to come to this place for dinner. The staff were lovely and welcoming, I cracked jokes with them and ordered a lamb roast. The food came in timely fashion and ate like a king. The roast was divine, the atmosphere in the pub was homely and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. If you're in the Gloucester road area and you're thirsty or hungry, come to this lovely pub 😊

I would recommend The Hereford Arms to anyone looking for a nice pub serving traditional British food close to Hyde Park. The Hereford Arms is part of the Fuller's Pub Group operating since 1845. The Hereford Arms is a cosy pub with a friendly atmosphere, located a short walk from Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. The pub offers a large selection of seasonal cocktails and craft lagers and might be the perfect place if you're craving traditional British food! I had lunch there recently and ordered the beer battered haddock with triple cooked chips, crushed minted peas served with tartare sauce…

Worst roast we’ve ever had. Beef was overcooked (only the top presentable piece was pink) and half of it was just fat. Lamb was bland. Gravy was watery and lacks flavour. Pork was ok. Mid pints of guiness. Service staff paid little to no attention to us although pub was half full. Better off going to zetland arms.

This is a great classic pub in South Kensington. They carry Fullers Ales, my favorite, and it is getting harder to find in the city nowadays. The food was some of the best Pub grub I had on this visit. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place for a bite and a pint.
