The menu reflected that of classic English pub food, but elevated. The stunning views added to the overall very enjoyable experience. I would say that it is this that you are paying for since although the food is nice, nothing particularly irresistible. Would recommend for anyone who wants a classic King’s Cross view and London lunch.
We use to go at The Lighterman for a drink or dinner sometimes, this time we had a very nice lunch on the terrace, we tried the two salads on the menu (and they were very good) and we drank two beers and two spritz. Fair prices. The staff is really nice and polite. The view on Kings Cross, Granary Square and the canal is beautiful. We loved the atmosphere. The choice of dishes is varied, so even though I know it might be complicated, just a small suggestion: add more variety of salads for the summer menu. Either way we had a great time as always and it deserves 5 stars. Highly Recommended!
Stopped by for a quick afternoon snack and a few beers in the sun. The flatbread pizzas were incredible tasty, made with fresh ingredients they were absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect with the seating area at the rear by the canal. If you’re stopping for drinks it’s service at the bar but you can order food from the staff.
The Lighterman is one not to be missed if you are in the area and looking for somewhere to enjoy a few drinks, dinner or brunch.
Fresh, quality food and excellent service. I had the mozzarella flatbread and fried chicken appetiser that was super tasty. Atmosphere was also ambient as it was overlooking the canal and the cocktails were uniquely delicious as well.
10min walk from train station with nice views of the canal, no queue when we got there at 1pm on a Friday (compared to other places), nice food. Was not the best fish and chips that I have eaten but it was fresh.
I found this an amazing spot in front of the canal.
Good place to DRINK some beer and chill.
Aparently I thought food wouldn't be good but it was really nice with good price too.
I recommend tunna tartar and French fries with truffle and parmesano.
We came here for Sunday brunch. The waiters were extremely attentive and the food arrived extremely quickly.
For mains, the salmon and avocado toast was delicious. The fried chicken brioche was average and quite small. The fish and chips were lovely and the chips were cooked extremely well. The ice cream with the sticky toffee pudding tasted different but the pudding itself was wonderful
Great location just minutes away from kings cross, food was amazing and the views were very nice from the first floor. The staff were all very polite and attentive. It is worth booking as when we went the restaurant was fully booked however this can be done online. Although not the quietest place when fully booked this is definitely a great place to take family at the end of an evening if traveling home by kings cross, or to start an evening by grabbing dinner before seeing a show.
We celebrated a 29th here and it was glorious. Amazing food and staff that looked after all of us with drinks food and all other requests. The croquettes were a little bland but the fish and chips were amazing, as was the tart. I’d recommend this place massively as somewhere to have a good meal in kings x but also for big events. I’d come back.
Very good Sunday's roast, clean and tidy, no toothpick, and staff could be more friendly and polite at list some of them !
