Welcome to The Lighterman, a new pub, dining room and bar on Granary Square, King’s Cross.
Our name is inspired by the industrial past of King’s Cross, and the Victorian Lightermen who worked on flat-bottomed barges, known as “Lighters”, on the canals and rivers of London. With three floors offering stunning views across Granary Square and the Regent’s Canal, The Lighterman is a place to relax and enjoy all day dining and drinking.
Me and my boyfriend had a drink on the bar and the bartender (Pedro) made our night!! We had a couple of classic cocktails and we really enjoyed them. Definitely we will come back
Came here for breakfast and the food was delicious. I got the fried chicken Benedict and my mum got the scrambled egg with salmon. Staff were a bit slow with service despite it not being very busy and it was also freezing inside- I had to wear my big coat all brekkie which isn’t the nicest. Overall I would recommend coming here as the food is great and so is the location.
Stopped by for a quick afternoon snack and a few beers in the sun. The flatbread pizzas were incredible tasty, made with fresh ingredients they were absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect with the seating area at the rear by the canal. If you’re stopping for drinks it’s service at the bar but you can order food from the staff. The Lighterman is one not to be missed if you are in the area and looking for somewhere to enjoy a few drinks, dinner or brunch.
Disappointing.Porthilly mussels did not fully open leading to a dozen or so uneatable.Lighterman fried chicken and Smoked haddock & Salmon croquettes are so salty. All food and drink are very pricey. I do not recommend this place.
The menu reflected that of classic English pub food, but elevated. The stunning views added to the overall very enjoyable experience. I would say that it is this that you are paying for since although the food is nice, nothing particularly irresistible. Would recommend for anyone who wants a classic King’s Cross view and London lunch.
