Caledonian Roadn £5.70 AmstelnnOne Of Islington’s Finest.nnThe Hemingford Arms is located in the quiet backstreets of Barnsbury close to The Hammerton Brewery. The nearest Tube is Caledonian Road, it’s a ten minute walk to get here.nnThe Hemmy, as it’s affectionately known was built in 1855 and later rebuilt in the early 20th century. This pub is instantly recognisable due to the mass of ivy and foliage that cover the exterior of the building.nnThis pub originally had four rooms which have now been merged into one large bar. The decor here is traditional with an oldschool pub feel. At the core of this pub is a stunning servery that has one of the most beautifully ornate back bars of any London pub. Around the walls are old theatre and movie posters, enamel advertising plates and all manner of bric a brac. The ceiling is festooned with musical instruments, old lamps and even a stuffed badger. The seating is plentiful and comfy, there are stools around the bar plus little intimate nooks and crannies to settle in to. The pub also has an old Joanna in the corner and not forgetting the proper red patterned pub carpet running throughout. Upstairs is another bar which is used for overspill and functions. For the warmer months, there are a dozen or so benches at the front.nnThe beer lineup is decent and offers a good selection of premium lager, London craft and cask ales. I decided on an Amstel, my pint was excellent, price point was a tad under average. The food menu is Thai, there is selection of phad thai, spicy curries and house specialties to choose from, check socials for kitchen opening times.nnWe arrived just after 2pm on a mild Saturday afternoon in December. The pub was calm and chilled with a number of punters dotted around the pub. Not long after we arrived a fella walked in with his child strapped to his front, ordered and downed a Guinness then left, that’s what you call a swift one. We had a little chat with the Guv’nor who was welcoming and friendly. I was also lucky enough to get a tour of the pub by a lovely member of staff.nnThe pub hosts Live Music and DJ nights, shows live Premier League and also has a Pub Quiz on Wednesday evenings.nnSometimes when you walk in a pub you immediately know it’s a blinder, well The @hemingfordarms is that pub. This is an outstanding pub full of character and tradition. The staff are friendly, the locals welcoming and the beer and food are top notch. I must admit we could have spent the whole afternoon in here. If you’re figuring out which London pub you should visit next, then definitely make this boozer your next port of call.nnℹ Info correct on visiting 30.12.23
The Hemmingford Arms, a wonderful eccentric welcoming pub. Shock horror, no real ales on today, the cellar cooler is broken, sorry Timmy Taylor. Great happy service from the man who fixes everything except the cooler. A really good pub, I love it.
A true London pub teeming with character!nnExcellent traditional interior and lighting, lovely staff, a superb pint of Guinness and an Irish folk band to bring the joviality. It doesn't get any better. Please don't change! I will be back
The pub's cozy atmosphere and live music performance were exactly what I was looking for. The variety and taste of the beers greatly satisfied me; the local beer options were particularly noteworthy. The friendly demeanor of the staff and their quick service also made my evening more enjoyable.nnHowever, the place being quite crowded and consequently the high noise level made conversing a bit difficult. Additionally, some popular beer varieties running out early in the evening was a disappointment in terms of options. Overall, while this pub offers a lovely experience with its quality beers and vibrant atmosphere, improvements could be made regarding the crowd and noise levels.
Had Sunday lunch in The Hemingford Arms last Sunday.nnThe Thai green curry and coconut rice was absolutely divine, however the chili chips were out of this world. I would fly back over to London for these alone.nnWe loved the pub and atmosphere so much we returned later that night for the live music which was brilliant.nnBeautiful food, clean and quirky pub, a large variety of drinks to offer and a lovely warm reception when you walk in the door. This pub is ran brilliantly by the manager. The best pub in London.
