Cumberland Arms, West Kensington

Very close to the Olympia exhibition centre, this is a cosy but spacious public house, with an excellent side garden/patio area. The dark wood panelling throughout is relieved by cream walls and a general light and airy one room bar with large windows. Flat screens for your sports viewing are fairly discreet. Bare wood floors and a mixture of plain tables and chairs make for a slightly cluttered feel.

Disabled access to the main bar but not to the rear raised area. The toilets are on the ground floor it's a bit of an obstacle course and a few corners to go round before you reach them - and a steepish step up to the gents. There are tables and chairs outside on the public right of way through to the park at the rear of the pub.

A good selection of craft beers in bottle, and a wine list with 15 white and red wines by the glass that'll suit most pockets and tastes. The Mediterranean-style menu changes monthly; and the food offering includes Sunday roasts.

Note that opening hours may differ dependent upon Olympia exhibitions.

NB following the move of Redcat into administration in late March 2024, it is understood this site will remain open under a sub-tenancy agreement.
