    We were a group of 12. Shub and Lydia provided wonderful service all the way around. We had a mini family reunion. Some of us haven’t seen each in other in over 30+ years. Thank you for the beautiful atmosphere and amazing service.

    Absolutely beautiful piece, you really don't realise how big it is until you are right next to it. A new sign added in neon pink which is a great new touch.

    Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. Highly recommend it. We shared amongst a share roast between 4-5 people and it was definitely enough! The side options are unique, such as truffle cheese cauliflower.

    We were in the private room - a great little space for intimate private dining. Quite a few dishes were unavailable at the time we were ordering (Sunday lunchtime) but I had a fantastic chicken roast and fish and chips. Generous portion sizes.

    Just an incredible bar and atmosphere. I came for breakfast at 9am and ended up staying till nearly 1pm just enjoying the vibe. And a big shout out to the bartending & lounge staff especially Ankita!

    A fantastic pub in a tucked away corner of St Pancras station, so seek it out. It is a large venue with plenty of seating and a good view of the Eurostar arrivals. Excellent drink selection and a varied menu, tied in with a great atmosphere, make it a great place to stop off before catching a train home.

    On a fine day the terrace is a great place to meet up. It is busy in a good way and a step away from the bustle of the transport nexus that is Kings Cross St Pancras. Good beers. Happy staff.

    Friendly staff. Good beer. So nice to sit out the back and wonder at the station architecture, feel the excitement of being somewhere where journeys begin and end. Lovely place all round. It might be a lot more than the Spoons which is only downstairs but it is a world away. Great place to sit and dream while you wait for your delayed train 🙂

    I love this pub. Every time I get the train into London I stop for a beer in here. Spent the weekend in London with my wife and we visited both days, had the sausage and mash on Saturday and then a beef roast today. The food was so so good. I would go as far as saying the best roast I’ve ever had. Atmosphere is always great and friendly. Make sure you visit.

    Had a work Christmas dinner here again this year and, once again, we were very pleased. We got a private room, which was perfect for our group. Service was extremely attentive and friendly. The food was mostly excellent and nicely presented. Value was decent for the location. Keep up the good work!

    If you're looking for a great restaurant at a train station, I highly recommend this. They offer excellent food and great value for your money. One of the things I appreciated about this restaurant is how family-friendly it is. A relaxed atmosphere that makes it a great place to dine with your family, especially if you're waiting for your train or need to take some rest. The food was delicious and well-prepared. It exceeded my expectations and was well worth the price. Each dish was full of flavor, and the portions were very generous. Lastly, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their service was fast, prompt, and they went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and satisfied with our meal. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in a train station.

    A really nice pub near the station but somehow hidden. Been here twice, one time just to have a pint and one time to eat dinner. The pint was draft and nice, especially with the calm atmosphere. The food though was excellent, I took a fish and chips and it really was gastronomic with all the sauces on the side. I recommend this place a lot.

    Very impressed with this pub. Can't believe it took me this long to discover it! Accessible from inside St Pancras Station (upstairs at the side of the building) or from Euston Road (by Rennaisance Hotel). Nicely decorated and furnished space in a traditional style. A variety of seating areas: outside, inside and in the station. Great range of drinks served by friendly efficient staff. Very clean and tidy when I was here albeit not very busy.

    A nice venue if you've just getting on or off of the train at st. Pancras or Kings Cross A reasonable selection of beers prices are what you expect in London

    Excellent meal in a wonderful setting. Superb service from waiting team. Huge thanks. Great to toast Sir John, a childhood inspiration, in the pub bearing his name set in the station he campaigned to save and which is now such a wonderful place of welcomes and departures.

    Less beer, more cocktails ( although plenty of beer). Enjoyed one of the best old fashioneds I’ve had in years. Lots of seating options : outside ( of course ) , inside feels like a cross between a train terminal and a library; and in-terminal, where you can enjoy the splendor of St Pancras station. Impressed!

    Attended for a colleagues leaving drink. Clean premises, short waiting times at the bar, reasonable selection of beers. Evening made more pleasant by the congenial attitude of the bar staff, esp. David. Different to the more modern bars popping up in Kings Cross but worth a visit if you are at the station. 👍👍👍

    Had a very enjoyable our or so before heading for my train home. Friendly staff, great glass of merlot and the burger and fries was delicious, just what I needed! Highly recommended.

    For a 'station pub' I think this punches above its weight! I only had the one drink here but service was good and lager nice so will definitely come back to try and add that last star.

    I did the cowork deal for £20 with unlimited tea and coffee and a main from the lunch menu! Very good deal. Comfortable space with plug ports and free wifi. The service is impeccable and the staff are very kind, particularly a big shoutout to Ankita who was very attentive and make sure I was comfortable and well looked after.

    A great spot if you want to chill with a coffee and get some work done before catching a train, I would argue the best place in the vicinity for suitability to get a coffee and attend a quick teams call

  • 5/5 Rebecca H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pub to grab a drink before the train. Nice to sit by the Eurostar platforms outside under the heaters, and good range of drinks.

    Stopped in early for some breakfast off the train. Staff are great, and the food is well prepared and presented. No black pudding with the full English breakfast was the only real controversial drawback. I respect the decision to double up on the sausage and there was adequate amounts bacon of good quality, but smaller portions of other elements made it feel like it was the sausage and bacon show with a hired backing group. This is with the exception of the puddle of beans in the middle of the plate—although I don’t like them for breakfast I won’t complain! The lightly grilled toast was well above average. Unfortunately, the coffee was mid to poor (slightly burnt: coffee, milk or both). Good coffee would have elevated the whole experience. I don’t understand bad coffee in 2023, it’s fundamental. The choice of music was far better than usually found in chain pubs but I’m a traditionalist and would have preferred silence or radio 4! The star ratings for this review are in comparison to other such establishments and not in general.

    This is a great pub, full of character and really nice people. It's just perfect!

    Met friends passing through London, for lunch. Very comfortable seating at the rear of the pub with large windows giving natural light. A very good pub menu and the food was beautifully cooked. The room was quiet enough to have a peaceful conversation. Good wine and beer selection. Reasonably priced for London. Many thanks to Ankita for her attentive serving.

  • 5/5 Jonathan 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice bar, partly in Kings Cross Station. Good food, decent selection of beers. I recommend sitting in the little beer garden area at the back, where you can watch the trains coming and going, whilst enjoying the good weather.

  • 2/5 S W. 2 years ago on Google
    Decor, food and ambience are lovely. Service was shocking! Luckily I was with a lovely bunch so we had a good night anyway, but we did order multiple drinks at a time so we didn't have to 'put the staff out' any more than necessary.

  • 3/5 Chris B. 2 years ago on Google
    Pub fine, beers OK, service fine. But just so cold!! Please turn the fresh air conditioner off and pump some warm air in. Pub too cold to be enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Nigel G. 2 years ago on Google
    Neck Oil on tap. Young's On Tap app works very well. Big outside area in the sun in front of the stunning St.Pancreas building.

  • 4/5 Steve B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good service and food on the whole was fine and reasonably priced. Nice location and ambiance too. However, I requested my steak to be cooked medium rare and it was definitely on the 'well done' side! Hence, only four stars.

  • 5/5 Keith L. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been to this pub quite a few times over the years and have always had a good experience. Myself and a couple of friends visited on Saturday 19th February for a few hours and had a great day. The atmosphere was great, the beer was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. The stand out members though were Joanna and Aiden. They are real assets to this excellent pub. Well done.

  • 5/5 Duncan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location and meeting point. Excellent range of drinks with some nice beers on tap. Service is excellent, but if you choose to use the app to order it's long winded the first time. Make your stop a little longer and enjoy the food too, great pub grub to be had.

  • 3/5 Laura O. 2 years ago on Google
    As station pubs go, this is a pretty and decent place to stop and have a drink if you're passing through St Pancras. Lots of old railway signs and posters make for a pleasing interior. Friendly staff. At £6.95 for a pint of Gamma Ray, she ain't cheap, but it's thoughtful of them to let new arrivals to London know its gonna be an expensive trip straight away.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Prices are good for being in the station, a (large) cup of coffee and a pint of coke cost £6.50. Plenty of seats and friendly staff, they let me work away at a table for 2 hours between trains as they were quiet. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Michael S. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a lovely vibe at The Betjeman Arms St Pancras Station. Good range of beers on offer. Great stop-off before the train back to Nottingham.

  • 4/5 Mandy O. 1 year ago on Google
    A fabulous place to transit or just relax, indoor is classy, outdoors is vibrant. Good wine, good food, one of my must stops when travelling !!

  • 2/5 hazza0502 2 years ago on Google
    Extortionate prices for a standard bar. £16 for a double gin and tonic seems rather steep. Staff were very grumpy towards end of a quiet shift as the bar always seems super quiet at end of the night. This is reviewing purely the bar as restaurant looks super nice when you do the 100m walk to the loos. Seating is good for small groups, would recommend you just stick to pints to avoid a shock.

    Bought a Camden hells lager, Brooklyn Pilsner, and a Glenfiddich IPA Experiment. This place is amazing, the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is astounding. If I were on a trip out of London or having a layover in London, this is my go-to place to get a drink.

    Planned a reunion with few of my friends at Betjeman Arms. It was a blast, and it happened because of the service and food. It was a fantastic experience all together. The food was delicious, well cooked meat, selection of drinks was great. I really want to thank the team especially Elenor in the dinning and Shardul at the bar. Last but not the least, a big shout out to the kitchen. Thank you for making our day. Cheers.
