Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Stockwell

We have been here a few times and had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately our wait and lack of welcome at the door was quite poor and unusual. Food was excellent as always, and our waiter lovely. It was our anniversary and we requested a window seat for two which we didn’t get, but couples after us were shown to one. We booked well in advance.

The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. The male waiters were lovely and accommodating, but the female server who attended to us was abrupt and rude. One of our friends is pregnant, and we requested well-cooked food for her. When she brought it over, she commented, "This is the stuff you don’t like," which was not the case—our friend simply cannot eat raw food. I also tried to ask her for recommendations, but she cut me off and told me not to interrupt, even though I wasn’t. While the food and overall ambiance were great, her attitude dampened what could have been an otherwise pleasant experience.

What an amazing place to dine! Absolutely everything was OUT THE GATE 🤩🙌 loved the food, we were there for a roast and gosh did The Apollo Arms provide. The most delectable roast veggies, succulent and yummy, meat was so tender and honestly just melts in your mouth (I LOVED the chicken). The staff were amazing, so genuinely caring, tentative and just gave off an awesome fun energy. A big biggg thank you to Freddie who looked after us so well (my son has whispered to me he wants to be just like him when he grows up - so thank you for being a role model as well)!! The decor and interiors were divine, anyway really blabbing now but I just couldn’t suggest this place enough. Thank You Apollo Arms - one of my best meals yet in London

Lovely food, attentive and friendly waitress and buzzy vibe. Would highly recommend.

Meeting our son and his wife for a birthday dinner. Food and service were excellent. The tiramisu was the best I’ve eaten since our honeymoon in 1988. Will definitely visit again.
