About

The Blacksmith's Arms is a family‑run pub and restaurant nestled in the heart of Rotherhithe, just a stone’s throw from the Thames. With a menu that skilfully blends classic British staples such as London Pride battered fish & chips with vibrant Thai creations like Chicken Thai Green Curry, the dining experience caters to both traditional tastes and adventurous palates. The venue offers a warm bar area, a private Nelson's Lounge for intimate gatherings, and a hidden garden terrace that provides a serene escape from the city bustle. Friday evenings come alive with live music, while Sunday afternoons feature a hearty roast complete with Yorkshire puddings, making it a favourite spot for locals, families, and visitors alike.
