A modern pub serving a frequently changing menu, available in our dining room, bar, and outside ledges. It's not fine dining, nor is it trying to be. We cook in a way that we as cooks like to eat, so don’t be afraid to share. If you want to pop in for a burger and a pint, feel free to grab any available space in the bar or outside. We accept bookings for tables of up to six people in the dining room.

It can be loud and slightly chaotic; at night it is dark. We turn tables because we need to in order to survive and pay the people that make it work, so please don’t be offended if we ask you to wait a moment for your table. Our dining room has limited space and we don’t offer high chairs, so please let us know in advance if you're bringing a pram or need to adjust your booking size.

Here's when we're open, so you can find what you're looking for:

Weekdays:
Bar 3-11pm
Kitchen 6-10pm

Weekends:
Bar 12-11pm (10pm Sunday’s)
Kitchen 1-5pm

Kitchen is closed on Men’s Arsenal home games.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Plimsoll offers a delightful dining experience with "amazing food" and "friendly, attentive service." The Dexter cheeseburger and fried potatoes are "to die for," while other dishes like scallops and mackerel also impress. Though the setting is vibrant, it can be noisy and seats might be uncomfortable. Overall, a "must-visit" for burger enthusiasts!

Delicious inventive menu that changes regularly whilst keeping a few favourites in reserve. Never disappoints unless I can’t get a table.

Service was good and the burger and blood orange margarita were lovely. Felt a bit/a lot let down by the pork belly portion size and the frankfurter dish, for the price I thought it would be a bit more interesting than a literal chopped up frankfurter.

£25 for one lamb chop and potatoe salad is a bit expensive. The ragu was good but quite pricey. The burgers are the best.

Had an absolutely incredible meal - the burger is famous for a reason! The sneaky winner was the winter tomatoes, though. One person in our party deemed them “the best tomato they’ve ever had”. Thank you to our wonderful waitresses also for preparing the cake we brought as it was our friend’s birthday! Very kind and accommodating. 10/10 meal & service.

We ordered the potatoes, burgers and linguine. Potatoes and burgers are another level! They were so tasty and we loved them. However, the linguine was too salty and overcooked. It’s a shame because other food was amazing so. But I will get back next time for sure
