About Lucas Arms
Simple pub with a menu of global sharing plates and comfort food, plus patio seating.
A comfortable pub with a warm atmosphere and low level background music with two distinct areas. At the front is a small, comfortable, traditionally decorated and carpeted saloon with a TV screen. To the rear is a larger, raised area with wooden floors, and two other TV screens (sound turned off). A covered, patio garden with several picnic tables, which is heated in colder weather, can be accessed from this room. Upstairs room for private parties, dining or meetings. Food from the traditional and reasonably priced pub menu is served all week.
On a visit at the end of April 2024, IPA was joined by a Coronation Ale and a beer brewed under their apprenticeship programme.
20% discount for students.

During our stay in London we was feeling rather peckish and surprisingly thirsty, especially after the nightmare with hotels. But moving on we decided to go down the road and came Across The Lucas Arms. Such a friendly, spacious, warm welcoming pub. We have a lovely meal between us and supped many beverages. When we’re back in London we will definitely be back to visit.

My sister and I have had our best first pub experience in this pub. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming, and the environment is super calm and beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious, so much so we came back again the next day. First, I had the BBQ chicken and it was such a unique taste compared to what I’ve had before (im Canadian) but it was so perfectly done. My sister had the fish and chips and she said she loved it. We came back again and both had the Katsu Chicken Burger and it was a 10/10 from both of us. The flavour again was like nothing I’ve ever had and it hit all…

my first time having a sunday roast in a pub and absolutely blown away by how good everything was. both the sirloin and chicken were amazing and the portions were massive, i was completely bursting afterward. lovely service too, servers willing to help me out from a pinch and super patient. def recommend!

Absolutely great pub, great selection of beers, cider and IPA's on tap. Food menu has a good selection of pub classics including sides and lunchtime deals, Sunday roasts, dinner and desserts. Lovely atmosphere and the bar staff are excellent. Lots of outdoor seating including a wonderful beer garden. We look forward to our next visit 😁

Found this place close to Kings Cross. Wanted to eat B4 getting the train back home, we both chose burger n chips, and wasn't disappointed. Explained to the staff we needed to catch a train at 7, so they sorted the service 👍 Well done guys... cheers 🍻
