We had the most delightful lunch experience at Art Yard Bar and Kitchen, Blackfriars, London SE1. The menu offers a fantastic variety of options, including Small Plates, succulent Burgers and Steaks, flavourful Flat Breads or refreshing Salads. With such a range of choices, there’s something to satisfy every palate. If you’re in the area and searching for lunch in Blackfriars or seeking out the best places to eat in London SE1, I wholeheartedly recommend Art Yard Bar and Kitchen. It’s a charming and relaxing establishment, with outdoor seating that allows you to soak up the buzz of Blackfriars.

Art Yard Bar All Day Dining Menu
Art Yard Bar and Kitchen at Bankside Hotel offer a delightful selection of Small Plates perfect for sharing. Treat your taste buds to Chorizo Croquettes served with a creamy Aioli or the Halloumi accompanied by Rocket Pesto. My partner couldn’t resist trying the Tiger Prawns with Avocado and Lime Pickled Jalapeños, topped with Tobiko. He savoured every single bite! For a real treat, go for the British Charcuterie and Cheese Board.
If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, their Big Plates won’t disappoint. Scottish Salmon Fillet, Wood Oven Roasted Cornish Plaice, Roast Corn Fed Chicken Breast and Rare Breed Steaks are available. And if Burgers are your thing, don’t miss out on the flavorful Bankside Burger or the Vegan alternative. Both are served with delicious Hand Cut Chips.
The Flat Breads are a great choice if you prefer a lighter option. We particularly enjoyed the Aubergine, Red Onion, Pesto, and Vegan Feta combination. Other variations include Burrata and Cherry Tomato with Basil or Nduja Sausage with Mushroom and Rocket.
To balance out the carbs, we paired our Flat Bread with a Salad, and it was a match made in heaven. We loved the Supergrains Salad with Radicchio, Roast Squash, Kale, Goat’s Cheese, and Pomegranate. The Sweet Potato and Black Bean Salad with Vegan Feta and Herb Dressing also sounded incredibly tempting.
Make sure you save room for Dessert because Art Yard Bar and Kitchen offer delightful sweet treats. We tried the exceptional Islands Chocolate Mousse with Mint, Raspberry, and Blackberry Vanilla Cheesecake. The Gin Sauce Almond and Orange Tart will have to wait another day. And if you’re in the mood for something refreshing, they have a fantastic Sorbets and Ice Cream selection.
They have an extensive list of Cocktails, Wines, and Spirits to complement your meal. As for me, I opted for a Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice, which was the perfect choice.
