Reviews Wenlock Arms

Can't rate the food as we didn't try any, although it seemed to be more snacks or light bites such as toasted sandwiches. A really good range of cask and keg beers which I'm reliably informed by my husband we're really well kept. You really feel as though you've been transported back in time in a good way! A proper gem!

Outstanding pub with great beer selection.

🚇 Old Street 🍺 £5.20 Budvar ❤️ The quintessential London Pub. . The Wenlock Arms is located in a quiet backstreet in Hoxton and is just a ten minute walk from Old Street station. A more picturesque journey would be to walk from Angel tube which means you can stroll along tranquil Regents Canal. . The pub was built in 1835 and is somewhat of a survivor. This pub survived the blitz unlike much of the surrounding area, it also survived demolition in 2010 when developers (shysters) didn’t get their way for once due to a vigorous local campaign that saved the pub. . The decor here is traditional with a horseshoe shaped bar taking centre stage. Around the bar are leather sofa benches with weathered round tables that have seen many a pint placed on them. There’s a dartboard If you fancy a game of arrows and also a Joanna incase someone wants to “Roll out the barrel “ .The walls are adorned with beautiful etched mirrors which complete the old world charm feel to this boozer. . This pub has won numerous awards for its beer, this is a ale and cider drinker’s paradise.There are 10 cask, 10 keg, plus real ciders to wet your whistle. Being the uncultured imbiber that I am, I chose a pint of Budvar which was tip top and very reasonably priced. If you’re a bit peckish then pies and toasties are available. . The atmosphere was relaxed and chilled with a few local punters in and a chap from New York in attendance. The Guv’nor was very chatty with the crowd in and is clearly passionate about his pub. . London has many institutions and for me The London Pub is the most important institution as it binds communities and people together. The @wenlockarms is the quintessential London Pub which epitomises what a London pub should be. The beer, the building, the ambiance, the hospitality, what a fantastic boozer. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 27/08/22

We were visiting London on business and sought a good genuine ale house. Found a cracker. Staff and locals were very friendly and great atmosphere. Great selection of beer!

Wonderful traditional pub. Excellent choice of beers. Lovely staff. Wish I lived nearby.

Great place that serves very nice beer. A wide selection of drinks and you can even sit there with your dog. Saw a man with one when I was there and it filled my heart. More places should be like this! Prices were awesome, hope you stay in business for a very long time!

Real ale-focused with intuitive service, albeit on a relatively quiet Wedesday evening. If I had to criticise, I would argue they don’t really have a ‘go-to’ beer - a beer you would want to drink seven pints of. But nonetheless the beers I tried were perfectly kept and well tasty.

Good range of real ales, mainly at £5 - very reasonable for the area.

Great neighborhood pub, great beer selection

It's a good old pub. Unfussy, knowledgeable barman when I visited who knew the history of the pub going back. Unfortunately the world famous hot salt beef sandwich is no longer served, but we guessed times change. Draft craft, and keykegs offer a good choice of real ale. On the whole, nice cosy pub with real log fire.
