The Camberwell Arms to Run New Bar at Dulwich Picture Gallery This Summer
The Camberwell Arms will run an on-site bar in Dulwich
Picture Gallery’s new summer pavilion, offering a classic
drinks and special sharing plates menu. The temporary bar,
which is built into the unique design of the pavilion will be
open throughout the weekend with extended opening hours
on Fridays and Sundays and will provide the perfect space to
relax and take in the surrounding landscape and architecture.
The bar menu takes inspiration from the beautiful grounds
of the Gallery, with summer drinks that are served in similar
surroundings across Europe. Delicious, and refreshing, the list
will include drinks like Lilet on ice, white port & tonic and
Chinotto.
The food will focus on the high quality produce that The
Camberwell Arms is known for. Charcuterie, smoked salmon,
pickles, ice cream and sorbet will all be made in-house whilst
the rest will be carefully sourced from the best UK producers.
The menu will include radishes with anchoiade, prawns with
aioli and crab on toast alongside other delicious summer
snacks designed to share.
Designed by emerging architects, IF_DO, the Dulwich Pavilion
celebrates 200 years since the Gallery rst opened to the public
with moveable mirrored panels that re ect and disrupt the
surroundings. As well as the bar, the pavilion will host a range
of events and activities including free Friday Lates in June and
July.

Michael Davies, Head Chef at The Camberwell Arms said:
“We can’t wait to bring what we do at The Camberwell Arms
to the beautiful setting of the Dulwich Picture Gallery. Our
drinks are perfectly suited to its green open spaces which feels
a world apart from London’s crowded city centre. We love the
idea that people can visit the Gallery and then have a drink and
snack in our bar afterwards, particularly during the new, free
Friday Lates. It is somewhere that I would love to visit myself ”
Ellie Manwell, Head of Audience Development at Dulwich
said:
“As we mark 200 years of opening we want to offer our visitors
the best experience possible - from art and culture to food and
drink. The Camberwell Arms at the Dulwich Pavilion will be
a great addition to a trip to the Gallery and a new reason to
stay and enjoy the Gallery grounds and Soane’s masterpiece of
a building. The innovative, contemporary bar design, covered
yet open to the elements, means we can offer our visitors
something completely different.”
