If you haven’t already noticed, The Manor Arms is having a full facelift inside and out and when we open our doors to you in early February we’re sure you’ll notice the difference!

With a bright, light and modern feel, whilst retaining all of its glorious, original features, The Manor Arms will be a pub which looks second to none. We hope to tickle your taste buds with an open-plan theatre kitchen serving delicious, fresh food, the best Sunday Roasts and imaginative and healthy food for the kids. A stunning, pewter-clad oak bar will offer a superb choice of premium beers, cask ales, wines and cocktails as well mouth-watering juices, squeezed to your liking.

We look forward to opening our doors and welcoming you.

All In London Review

Hearty British grub

One might not immediately think of gourmet food and stylish eateries when it comes to Streatham, Clapham’s run-down relative. In fact, one wonders how the newly refurbished Manor Arms will fare with its ambitious kitchen, under the reign of Bob Bob Ricard’s former sous chef. Hopefully pretty well, as the pub’s stylish wooden flooring, fireplace and semi-open kitchen is immediately seductive, there’s a not to be scoffed at hearty two course menu for only £10, free Wi Fi and complimentary artisan bread with your meal. It’s ticked all our boxes so far.

As we peruse the menu a friendly waitress recommends the Cahors "Malbec", Cedre Heritage 2009, a young-tasting red which we glug down to our heart’s content, with even more relish when we learn that all the wines are sourced from independent producers and great care goes into the selection process.

Similar effort goes into the menu; the food hails from local producers, and every dish is made freshly on the premises. Herby, mushy potted Morecambe Bay shrimps spread easily over toast; a rich ham and mushroom tart is smothered in melted Cheddar cheese. The juicy Banockburn rib steak comes with heaps of a creamy wholegrain mustard sauce, the grilled Portobello mushroom and tomato offering temporary distractions from the tender meat – this is filling winter food at its best - but it’s the roast duck breast that initially perturbs us with its caramelised pear tasting of vanilla and cinnamon, only to turn out to be an excellent marriage. We round off the meal with a nostalgic apple pie with cinnamon ice cream and a velvety, lemony buttermilk panacotta, the addition of bittersweet rhubarb refreshing the palate.

Streatham just got a little cosier. A three course meal for two with wine is roughly £85.
