About Fentiman Arms
Fentiman Arms is a pub at 64 Fentiman Rd in London, furnished with cushions, colourful art and rustic wooden tables. Seating runs across the front and through the inside, and a second floor adds more room. A walled beer garden at the rear has a cover. The kitchen serves a Sunday roast of roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, vegetables and gravy, along with fish and chips. Keg and craft beers are on offer at the bar. A pub quiz is held here, and cricket fans from the Oval use the pub for pre-match and after-game drinks. The pub is walk-in, and food is ordered at the bar.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast is what reviewers return to most, with roast beef, yorkshire pudding, gravy and all the trimmings singled out as satisfying on a cold day. Close behind is the beer garden, described as covered, comfortable and a good spot for prematch or after-game drinks with cricket fans coming over from the Oval. Fish and chips is called superb, and the fries get praise too, though one reviewer found the burger not quite the same standard. Reviewers also mention a good selection of keg and craft beers, a lovely mixed crowd, and welcoming, cool staff, plus a pub quiz. The food draws the main complaints. One diner found the gnocchi lacking sauce and the fish so dry it went back, though staff were accommodating about it. Another found the food nice but expensive for what it was, and one noted a longer wait for dishes. A manager seating a group that arrived without a reservation is the kind of moment diners recall.

“Very busy with folks coming over from the Oval. Staff absolutely on it but cricket fans are just too thirsty. Lovely mixed crowd, not just toffs. Fish and chips was superb. Burger not quite the same standard. Manager very accommodating when we arrived without a reservation”

“Had a lovely last minute Sunday lunch for one. Sat in a very nice open space garden. Decent roast with spritz cocktail, will definitely be back again as they have a burger shack I would love to try.”

“The atmosphere is amazing. The food was nice but was expensive for what it was. The people were lovely and it's a very nice pub.”
