Pub and Food near Kings Cross

[Dicky Knee]

Hi All,

Meeting some friends on Sunday who have a late afternoon train from Kings Cross. I'm looking for somewhere not too far away (15 min walk) for a decent range of beers and good food.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dicky

The Booking Office bar in St Pancras station also good

I'm old-fashioned, I like the Skinners Arms.

Was just about to edit and add that one...

Depends on your demographic...

Star of Kings pub has good craft beer selection and hipster burgers

Honest Burger has better beer selection and better burgers but isn’t a bar.

Union pizza does cheap and good pizza, but is quite quick turnaround.

Flat iron on curtain road is an easy walk, just checked, it’s 2 Miles so maybe a little far.

But Excellent value and make sure you like steak!

Good drinks menu too.

I love this place.
Mini plates of sausage and chips with beer and wine.

Been twice and missed my train both times.

I like the sound of the German Gym. I believe they own Quaglinos as well, a bit hen night there so it put me off but I’ll try it now.

There is also a square on the other side of kings cross that has a couple of different tapas bars
One is really small and does flights of sherry and small plates.
That's good as well, but has less sausage.

you could make it to Fitzrovia , Charlotte Street say in 15 mins walk from Kings X - it's at the limit of the 15 but some great places.

Charlotte Street hotel a favourite of mine, but there are loads of choices here (i'm here now! )

Cattle & Co is one of my regular stops.

Depending upon your tastes, and how lazy you are, the Booking Office in St Pancras Renaissance Hotel?

I am quite fond of it, because when I was a younger man I used to alight the taxi and run like a maniac through there in order that I didn't miss my train. That was before it was redeveloped into a nice bar obviously and was still an open ticket office. Now that it's a nice bar, I enjoy reminiscing whilst becoming slowly stupefied with wine.

There is great Turkish on the corner Gray's Inn Road meets Kings Cross.

A few doors away is a good Tandoori restaurant.

The Lighterman? Though I’ve not been there for a good 6+ months. Gets busy, but you’d probably be ok on a Sunday.

I agree with Honest, eat there most weeks. Some good pubs nearby, the King Charles 1 and Scottish Stores with great beers and a bit of life. Meatliquor is also very near Honest, though the food is a bit greasy.

Must be a 'Spoons nearby what more do you want

that's a really good call - this place is very well liked in Londonshire

[Dicky Knee]

Thanks all.

Tapas is strictly off the menu as they are coming in from Spain and I have been told 'no tapas'. Spoons is where my kids go.

My plan was The Skinners Arms followed by Cattle and Co with Dishoom as Plan B.

But just seen The Skinners Arms is closed on a Sunday which is a shame so maybe straight to Cattle and Co.

Thanks again for the recommendations.
