With a welcoming local atmosphere, a food offering built around classic pub favourites and Sunday roasts, and a fascinating history dating back to 1845, The Morpeth Arms is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious operator to bring their own personality to a truly distinctive venue.
Welcoming a mix of local residents, Westminster workers and visitors exploring London, the ideal General Manager will know how to make The Morpeth Arms a true Westminster favourite.
