About Battersea Brewery

Battersea Brewery is a brewery and taproom in London, set under the railway arches at 12-14 Arches Ln next to Battersea Power Station. The taps pour its own beers alongside guest bottles, including Belgian beers, and the keg beers are joined by wine and spirits. Beer comes in three sizes, and a tasting paddle of four one-third pours lets visitors sample several beers in one round. The snack menu covers cheese toasties, a sausage roll and hummus with warm flatbreads. Outside food is welcome, even when the kitchen is closed, so visitors can bring their own meal and stay for the beer. Seating is spread across the ground floor and an upstairs area. Brewery tours are available for anyone who wants to see where the beer is made.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come mainly for the beer, praising the variety of their own brews, from pale ales and lagers to rich stouts, plus guest bottles including several Belgian beers. Flights of four one-third pours and three glass sizes let drinkers sample widely, and one suggests starting with half pints because some are quite strong. Close behind is the setting under the railway arches by the power station, with outdoor seating, good music and friendly staff. Cheese toasties, a warm sausage roll with flaky pastry and hummus with warm flatbreads draw praise, and several note that outside food is allowed, including when the kitchen is closed. The sandwiches are the main complaint: one reviewer describes a burnt chicken sandwich and calls both sandwiches they and a friend ordered disappointing, though a replacement arrived. One reviewer suggests booking a table at busy times. A tour of the brewery, with the pub's Jack Russell around to be fed a treat, rounds out one visit.

“5* for the beers. 1* for the sandwiches. The chicken sandwich I ordered was burnt. Credit to them as they gave me a new one which was better. But both that and my friend's sandwich which was another option was not good. This is a really good brewery, but they should review the menu because those sandwiches were disappointing.”

“Excellent friendly tap house with a good variety of keg beers, bar snacks and outdoor seating. In the shadow of the power station under the railway arches. Try the tasting paddle and the cheese toasties, they complement each other well. Relaxed atmosphere but book a table at busy times as it is very popular.”

“Interesting location, under one of the arches of an old railway bridge. I drank a few beers at their place and they were OK. The girls who serve at the bar, very kind. You can pay by card. It was not very crowded at the time of our visit, around 15:30.”

“Loved the brewery! Located in the Battersea Power Station complex, it has some cool vibe ( not part of it). With some outdoor seating for good days, indoors and upstairs. Great service, good music playing and a convenient 3 sizes of beers. And needless to say, the beer is amazing! I had the Awards one and loved it.”

“We arrived early lunchtime on a Thursday and it was quiet, however it did get more busy. Good selection of drinks both of their own and guest bottles, including several Belgian beers. They serve flights of four, one thirds, so plenty of opertunitity to sample several of their own brews.”

“Been there first time after long time planning. Love the area n great location. Lovely variety of beers from pale ale, lagers to rich stouts. Friendly staff. Cool ambiance, a fun place to hang out with friends. If u wanna enjoy most of their variety then I recommend start with half pints because some are quite strong.”

“Situated around the arches at Battersea Power Station and well worth a visit. Friendly and efficient staff. Great choice of beers and wines and reasonably priced snacks. Sausage roll had lovely flaky pastry, served warm with a portion of tomato ketchup. Hummus with warm flatbreads was delicious.”
