Bush, Whitehall and Islington, Geronimo – owned by Young’s Brewery – offers customers fantastic food, delicious drinks and a great atmosphere. What makes Geronimo stand out from
The Betjeman Arms reopens F
ounded in 1995 Geronimo Inns is a series of gastro pubs situated throughout London. With sites in Chelsea, Putney, Shepherd’s
the crowd is individuality, meaning Geronimo is not seen as a chain, instead it is a collection of individual pubs with individual menus. The chefs and their teams at each Geronimo write their own menus, tailoring them to the tastes of the surrounding areas. Keen to keep Geronimo at
the fore-
front of the pub sector, Geronimo Inns has recently revamped its existing pub, The Betjeman Arms. Situated within St. Pancras
International Station, The
Betjeman Arms reopened to punters in September 2014, following an extensive renovation. The pub marked its reopening with a
#LoveYourCommute campaign, which is a month long multi-media initiative aimed at making travellers’ commute a little less tedious. In addition, The Betjeman Arms also held a London Ale Festival from 29th September until 5th October, which saw the pub pour its first 100 pints on the house. Ed
Turner, Managing Director of
Geronimo Inns, said: “Geronimo has remained true to the in-
trinsic design of this remarkable station: this is an extensive piece of renovation on one of our pubs that just adds to the beauty of the station – a unique place to enjoy London’s architecture with a pint in hand! “Geronimo has always understood that
station pubs are places to reassure cus- tomers with consistently great quality, a splash of imagination and a smiling face. The travellers are not as twitchy as those in airports – checking their passport is still there – but the success of The Betjeman Arms has always been down to the fact that travellers are put at ease by the fact this is also well used by the local creative types. Long live fine pubs and pub banter!” As with all Geronimo Inns, the design of
The Betjeman Arms was completed by an in-house team – something rarely seen in the contemporary UK pub industry. Anneke
NOVEMBER 2014 A Geronimo Inns venue
Laux was the designer on the project and highlights of the new design include floor to ceiling windows, a re-designed internal terrace and a much larger bar. Discussing the new-look pub, Anneke
Laux, said: “The new interior of The Betjeman Arms
reflects the heritage of the iconic building it is set within. We have streamlined the layout and created a classic bar that is now the main feature and really promotes our vast array of drinks. The pub is a more cohesive space; the terrace is now very visible and sits well against the existing building fabric. We’ve matched the her- itage red of the doors on our panelling and added tiles for a fresher look. The upholstered chairs and cushions on the panelling make for a more comfortable setting and is a seamless extension to the new pub interior.” Fresh menus have been introduced
to the new-look Betjeman Arms, with a daily specials menu highlighting the best seasonal produce. Dishes include grazing plates of butter milk fried squid, kimchee remoulade tacos, Cromer crab roll, spiced pepper dressing and corned beef hash bites with HP sauce. For a longer lunch or dinner the house favourite will be Camden Hells chicken,
polenta popcorn and watercress salad. Alternatively a warming Cornish fish broth with summer vegetables or Betjeman sau- sages, Dijon mustard mash and scrumpy sauce are on offer, as is a selection from The Butcher’s Block
