In 2002, The Cumberland Arms re-opened as an independently-run gastropub. Since then, it has built up quite a reputation among local residents, offices and a few reviewers too. The aim is to serve good beer (including real ales), an exciting Mediterranean menu and a wine list of some 30 wines. The menu offers a daily changing selection of Italian, Spanish and North African dishes. There is seating on the pavement area down the side of the pub.
