   The staff were friendly and welcoming but were not ready for our booking. The speed of service was good, but the calamari were extremely salty, as well as the carrot purée of the roast. The pork belly was dry, the Yorkshire pudding were carbonated and the gravy tasted burnt too. The toilet were in poor condition, they forgot their own deal offer, disappointing overalls absolutely not worth the price we spent, will not recommend.

   Second time I’ve been, and once again the roast was amazing. One of the best I’ve had in a while

   We had a great lunch here - amazing weather so able to sit outside. Had to order at the bar and pay as we went through the courses and drinks but that was OK. Food delicious. Would definitely go again.

   4 words …. King Croissant Club Sarnies. The BEST invention I’ve ever seen on a menu !! Absolutely delicious, literally so scrumptiously good. I had the Royale with Cheese, this bad boy was the cure to all my hangovers and sad days, I will forever be thinking about it. The sausage patty was so juicy and flavourful, the hash brown inside was out the gate. And then throw it all together inside a croissant bun, you just can’t go wrong. It was AMAZING My friend had the Chicken Royale and she said it was just as delicious (maybe even more? But I don’t believe her because mine couldn’t be bet) …. Will be back to give it a go!! Also guys, just the general vibe of The Apollo Arms is gorgeous, such a fun and chilled out place but also very classy - the perfect gastropub 🙌 A big thank you to Freddie who poured some marvellous drinks and was always happy to help (best service we’ve had in London)! And our waitress Estella who made us feel so welcome and looked after 🤍 The Apollo Arms = 10/10 King Croissant Club Sarnies = get these on your to do list ASAP

   Food was good but portions not very big and no greens (was a Sunday roast) As a table of 6, we were sat a high table by the bar, we would have preferred a proper table as there was a few of us and it wasnt very comfy. They were running about 30 min late and the service wasn't great - our food arrived before the wine, so we had to remind them about the bottle we ordered and extras never turned up (weren't added to the bill). Shame as a food itself was good

   I’d wanted to try this place for ages and was feeling optimistic about our Sunday lunch. The food was good but not amazing. The service was friendly but disorganised. We were served by 3 or 4 people through the meal, with multiple people asking the same questions which interrupted our conversation. We had to request water several times, we ordered a bottle of wine that took 15 mins to arrive. We were asked if we were ready to order after already ordering. 4 people asked if we wanted dessert. When we said no the 4th time, the bill and card machine arrived and we were told quite abruptly that the table needed to be cleared. Good job we didn’t order dessert! Overall I’m disappointed to say I wouldn’t return.

   The menu doesn’t have any dietary requirements marked and the selection of vegetarian dishes is very poor and they are not customisable to be vegan

   Good attentive staff, atmosphere and decor were lovely. However my oyster mushroom main was inedible as it was so salty and slimy, and a very small portion considering it was more expensive than the fish and chips or the burger and chip. Shame

    Been before and thought was fabulous. However we’d looked forward to NYE and booked in advance Food was cold, drinks came after starter was finished and service frosty/no hellos/welcome.
