What a fantastic pub! It’s so rare to find a traditional venue, taking good old fashioned cash with service that is next level! Vanessa is a breath of fresh air and the food is lush! I’m not local but I’ll be paying this place many more visits!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Alma Pub in Sidcup, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the cozy ambiance to the friendly staff, everything about the Alma Pub exceeded my expectations. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the delicious lasagna I had, which left me thoroughly impressed and satisfied. First and foremost, the atmosphere of the Alma Pub is warm and inviting. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a charming rustic decor and a welcoming staff. The pub had a delightful blend of traditional and contemporary elements, creating a comfortable and relaxed environment. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a gathering with friends, the Alma Pub offers a cozy setting that caters to all occasions. Now, let's talk about the lasagna – a true masterpiece! I can confidently say that it was the best lasagna I've ever had. Each bite was a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The layers of tender pasta, rich meat sauce, and creamy cheese melted together to create a mouthwatering symphony of taste. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was impeccable. I appreciated the attention to detail and the evident culinary skill that went into crafting such a remarkable dish. Aside from the lasagna, the Alma Pub boasts an extensive menu with a variety of options to suit every palate. From classic pub fare to more adventurous dishes, there is something for everyone. The pub also offers a well-curated selection of drinks, including a range of beers, wines, and spirits, ensuring that your dining experience is accompanied by the perfect beverage of your choice. Moreover, the staff at the Alma Pub deserves special mention. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to ensure that every guest had a memorable experience. The service was prompt, and the staff members were more than happy to accommodate any special requests or dietary restrictions. In conclusion, my visit to the Alma Pub in Sidcup was a truly outstanding experience. The lasagna, in particular, was phenomenal and deserves all the praise it receives. The pub's inviting ambiance, diverse menu, and exceptional service make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience. I wholeheartedly give the Alma Pub a well-deserved 10/10 rating, and I eagerly look forward to returning for more memorable meals in the future. PS.. . did I mention the Lasagna?
