King & Co Clapham

For a cosy pub, The King & Co sure has a lot of draughts…

…specifically, a rotating selection of 18 kegs and 6 casks on tap, ranging from craft beers by Portobello Brewing and Brixton’s London Beer Lab, to classic ciders and German wheat beer.

Run by a small team, The King & Co is one of Clapham’s finest pubs, with exposed brick walls, cosy fireplaces, and a jumble of mismatched, second-hand tables and chairs. Besides the beers, there’s a fairly priced wine list spanning vineyards from England to New Zealand, and a lively events programme of masterclasses, tastings, live music, DJs and a quiz every Monday.

Those aren’t the only reasons why punters come across the city to visit, though.

With a finger firmly on the pulse of London’s pop up restaurant scene, The King & Co is home to a series of top-tier kitchen residencies each year, inviting street food traders, pop-ups and proto-restaurants to take over the pans for a few weeks at a time. In the past, they’ve hosted itinerant heavyweights like Boca Chica, Eastern Bloc, Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen, Donostia Social Club, Cucina Rustica and The Cheese Truck – often just before they really hit the big time.

Right now, you can encounter the warming Moroccan cooking of chef Yassir, whose menu ranges from smaller bites like the amazing king prawn ‘cigars’, chargrilled lamb kofta and zaalouk (an aubergine & tomato salad, served hot), to mouthwatering kebabs and a weekly tagine special.

Sundays, however, are sacred – and always reserved for roasts.

 

NOTE: The King & Co is open daily. You can find out more, and book a table, HERE.
