The Carpenter's Arms

Excellent music, great service, good beer and nice vibes. What more could you want? 2 pints for £8 in London. Mind. Blown. Nice one guys.

Poor service and unfriendly staff bar staff spilled half a pint on my shirt and trousers while serving. No real apology or anything offered to make up for it. Bathroom does not have locks. But...the outside seating is actually nice!!

A great place in Elgin to visit and enjoy the food and athmosphere! Very cosy in the evening without being too loud! Innovative food but maybe could have a little more for maine course to match the prices! Staff is very friendly and efficient ! We thouroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Speisekarte ansehen

Delicious roasts and we came here on a Bank Holiday Monday and shared a few small plates. It's usually closed on a Monday and Tuesdays with the exception of Bank Holidays. The selection of small and main dishes and desserts makes it hard to choose! Food is fantastic, seasonal and super fresh. There is a large garden and its children and dog friendly. Highly recommend foe a weekend lunch or dinner with friends or family. Great selection of wine to top it off and only a 10 minute walk to the river

We ordered a small dish with sourdough bread and it came with two slices of toasted bread. We complained and the “manager” came to tell us that the chef told him that was sourdough SLICED bread. That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. I’d have appreciated more if they said sorry we ran out, here’s a glass of wine on the house. But no, a simple sorry about that when I said to the manager that the chef should not be a chef if he thinks that bread in is sourdough. I have a pic but I can’t attach it here unfortunately

Clearly not a place for people with kids. Writing the review 5 minutes after entering the place. Walking in and the waiter very unpolitely shouting after the family whether we have booking. Saying we do not have a booking and sharing with two adult looking like complete idiots that anyway it is last order at 21:38 so may be another time. It would have been better just to communicate child policy we do not want people with kids. I understand very busy day with first day close to 30 degC so more than enough to do. Are we going to go again; definitely not. Do these people think about others without no reasons that they are idiots; yes! Well done guys!!! Speisekarte ansehen

Gastropubs go up and down all the time. The last time i ate her a year or so ago it was excellent. This time it was OK, but nothing was exceptional. My burger was overcooked, my companion's caesar salad was lacklustre and a bit on the mean side. The wine choice by the glass was the best feature. It is a lovely quiet, charismatic, spot for lunch, especially if the sun is shining on the garden tables. The staff are friendly and laid back in a matter that some might find disconcerting. On balance, as I live locally, I recommend this as a destination following a river walk in Hammersmith. We've got a lot of average restaurants so I suggest not aiming too high.

Really terrible poor service, visited on Wednesday lunch for daughter’s birthday, just two of us, empty garden except for table of 4. Menu’s shoved into my hand as we walked in, hands full, carrying presents so dropped a jumper, an embarrassing few seconds of realising this guy isn’t going to help me here, eventually he did the kind thing. Had to go inside after 15 minutes and ask if you needed to order drinks at the bar, no sign of anyone. The guy in charge was morose and deliberately caused an atmosphere. The icing on the cake was literally when he deliberately looked confused and offended when we asked him to light a candle on the cake, his lack of birthday spirit or service soon dampened...

Almost hidden away in Hammersmith's Black Lion Lane The Carpenter's Arms clearly has a reputation, to judge by how busy it was for a summer Sunday lunch......with the added attraction in good weather of one's being to sit in the garden area outdoors. A magnet for families, certainly, though a downside might be the consequent and unabated noise. The changing menu offers well-prepared and flavourful staple dishes, a hearty Sunday roast of slow-cooked pork belly being the focus of my own visit. Plates arrive loaded, my own dressed with a crowd of accompanying vegetable roasts including a carrot that had clearly vied for best place. If I say that the restaurant was busy then service, no matter h... Speisekarte ansehen
