About us

Founded by chef director Mike Davies in 2014, the Camberwell Arms is a celebration of generosity and hospitality, rooted in excellent, product-focussed, seasonal cooking; informal but well-informed service; and a constantly evolving wine list. The kitchen team has asserted their own unique style within our bustling restaurant, serving up a thoughtful selection of snacks, small plates and generous feasting dishes designed for sharing and conviviality.

We make what we want to eat, when we want to eat it, using the highest quality products we can buy. If we can make something ourselves, we do – charcuterie, sausages, smoked fish, pickles, breads and ice cream are all made in house – whilst the rest is carefully sourced from the best producers and cooked on our charcoal grill. Our attentive and well-informed front of house team create a familiar and warm atmosphere. We aim to deliver the confidence and belief in our products exhibited in fine dining restaurants, but without the starch.

The Camberwell Arms is for everyone. It is built on a love of service and a shared belief that there is great power in bringing people together over excellent food and drink.
