The Lighterman

Restaurante | London | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

Restaurante junto al canal

El "The Lighterman" en Londres, Inglaterra, es un restaurante elegante y versátil que funciona como pub, comedor y bar al mismo tiempo, destacándose por su espectacular ubicación junto al Canal Regent en el revitalizado barrio de King's Cross. Pertenece al grupo Open House y se ha establecido como un elemento fijo en la escena gastronómica local desde su inauguración, ofreciendo una interpretación moderna de la cocina británica con influencias europeas. Con su arquitectura de tres pisos y su proximidad a Granary Square, es un punto de encuentro popular para una mezcla diversa de locales, estudiantes de la cercana Central Saint Martins y visitantes que aprecian la dinámica atmósfera y la vista al canal.

Cocina británica moderna Londres

El ambiente del Lighterman es moderno y abierto, con un enfoque claro en la funcionalidad y la estética. La fachada de vidrio y ladrillo le da al edificio un aspecto contemporáneo, mientras que el interior, con cálidos acentos de madera y muebles elegantes, irradia una acogedora calidez. Especialmente notables son los numerosos asientos al aire libre: la terraza cerca del canal en la planta baja ofrece una atmósfera relajada justo al lado del agua, mientras que la terraza envolvente en el último piso ofrece vistas panorámicas de Granary Square y el canal, siendo un lugar perfecto para las suaves noches de verano. El ruido dentro del local, especialmente en la planta baja, puede ser bastante alto, lo que corresponde al carácter animado del lugar, aunque no es del agrado de todos. Sin embargo, la hábil distribución del espacio asegura que el restaurante sea adecuado tanto para encuentros íntimos como para grupos más grandes.

Destacados culinarios en King's Cross

En cuanto a la gastronomía, el Lighterman ofrece un menú disponible todo el día, creado con mucho amor por el detalle por el chef Diego Cardoso. Un destacado es el "Sunday Roast", un plato tradicional de domingo con carne jugosa, patatas asadas perfectamente crujientes y una rica salsa, que presenta el clásico británico en su mejor forma. Igualmente popular es el "Crispy Squid", un aperitivo con tierno calamar en una capa crujiente, servido con un dip picante que destaca por su frescura. Para los platos principales, se ofrece el "Grilled Hake", un merluza a la plancha que se presenta con guarniciones de temporada y que convence por su preparación ligera y aromática. Para el postre, el "Sticky Toffee Pudding" se destaca, un pastel tibio y dulce con salsa de caramelo y una bola de helado, que es el cierre perfecto para una comida.

Selección de cócteles y cervezas

La carta de bebidas es otro de los puntos destacados y refleja la versatilidad de la casa. Además de una impresionante selección de cervezas de barril y en botella, incluidas cervezas artesanales locales, hay cócteles de temporada que se mezclan con ingredientes frescos y a menudo traen un giro creativo. Especialmente se destacan los "House Cocktails", ya que complementan perfectamente los sabores de los platos. La carta de vinos está cuidadosamente curada y ofrece un amplio rango, que va desde opciones asequibles hasta opciones más exclusivas. Para aquellos que prefieren la opción sin alcohol, hay café de alta calidad de Lavazza o refrescantes bebidas sin alcohol que se ofrecen durante todo el día. El bar junto al canal es un punto de encuentro central que invita a quedarse, ya sea para un aperitivo o una copa después de la comida.

Restaurante familiar en Londres

El Lighterman es un lugar que combina flexibilidad y comunidad. Abre temprano para los comensales del desayuno y permanece hasta altas horas de la noche como un animado punto de encuentro, lo que lo hace ideal para diferentes ocasiones, desde un rápido brunch hasta un almuerzo prolongado o una velada con amigos. El personal es conocido por su amabilidad y eficiencia, aunque puede volverse un poco ajetreado en días ocupados como los fines de semana o durante eventos en los alrededores. La amabilidad hacia las familias es muy importante aquí, con sillitas para niños y una atmósfera relajada que también da la bienvenida a los más pequeños. Además, el restaurante ofrece espacio para grupos más grandes y la posibilidad de reservar eventos privados, lo que lo convierte en una opción popular para celebraciones.

We ate here on March 4th which was a beautiful spring day and so we could sit outside. I would like to thank Nico for looking after us so well. He could answer all my questions when I mentioned that I needed a gluten free meal and the salad was excellent and I loved the presentation of the meal. Easy to thank Nico as we saw him but thanks to the people in the kitchen as well.

Had a few beers and a burger with a friend. Food was great and good value. Beer was good but a bit pricey. Service was excellent, really cheerful and efficient, well looked after by Nico and Virender.

Excellent venue I’ve been to with friends many times. Sadly they (the duty manager - short, aggressive gentleman with awful attitude) let themselves down today. After making us pay our bill half way through eating our lunch (including 12.5% service charge) (!), we complained about this and were offered some compensatory drinks by the member of staff serving our table, problem solved... Above mentioned gentleman then decided to cancel this settled issue and instead insisted on addressing the whole table with a heated argument trying to justify his position incorrectly, all very unnecessary and has a) tainted an afternoon with friends and b) has sadly resulted in us no longer choosing the venue in future. It is expensive for what you get, a given considering the location, but normally a great experience. If only the service had reflected this today.

Our waitress Rosie was top notch. Helped us with a birthday surprise and was 10/10!

Nice pub, but took an age to get our first round delivered to the table, despite ordering our drinks before the tables around us. You can’t goto the bar yourself which would have been much quicker. Mates started complaining about it but all was fine after that.

The Lighterman Restaurant came recommended to us, so on our trip to London in February 2025, we booked and thought we’d give it a go. Lovely setting, our table looked out on the canal. We were fortunate to be served by a fab waitress Rosy, from the moment we were seated, she made us feel welcome. She was efficient in taking orders, and checked in on us regularly without being intrusive. The food was amazing, especially the flatbreads, although everything we had was great. I highly recommend this restaurant experience! I look forward to my return.

Came here for the 1st time a few weekends ago with friends. Hands down this was the best Sunday roast I've had in a pub for years! Finally a pub that gets the roast potatoes (the most important bit!) perfectly! They were the perfect crispy brown and really fresh (IME so many pubs seem to serve their spuds pale (so often that I now always ask for them to be extra crispy though they still often fall short) or others taste stale/reheated. Here however they were perfect. The Yorkshire pud, gravy and veggies were also delicious. Great portion sizes and attentive service too. We will be back!

We just got out of the restaurant, whare I celebrated with my girlfriend my birthday. The meals were delightful as well as the drinks we were suggested to pick up. I took a glass of cider it was really good ! Again the cuisine is tasteful. you see and feel there is a research on the dishes and especially on the sauce ( the truffe sauce is a guilty pleasure!). We were served at a reasonable paste and the suggestions made by Sophie, our server, was reallly pertinent. It was a real pleasure having her on our table. She was reactive, smiling and full of good suggestions. I recommend her ! The restaurant is a little noisy when it's crowded. But nothing really problematic. At the end of our dinner, we went on to thanking the chef and his team for this delicious dinner we will remember for ages ! A place to go and to enjoy ! PS: Thank you again Sophie !

Great service and setting, close to the trains The staff tried to cater to my allergies but it didn’t leave me many options. I had soup which was lovely but didn’t have much choice if I were to go back
