AboutAbout The Lighterman
The Lighterman is a contemporary gastropub at Granary Square in King's Cross, occupying a stunning three-storey building with wrap-around terraces overlooking Regent's Canal. The modern British-European menu showcases seasonal, sustainable produce with dishes cooked in clay ovens and over coals, from flatbreads and seasonal salads to grilled meat and fish. Weekend brunch, Bloody Marys and all-day Sunday roasts draw regular crowds to this canalside location.
The venue offers multiple spaces across three floors, each with its own character - from the ground floor bar to the first floor dining room and the popular canalside terrace. The independent craft beers, sustainable wines and expertly crafted cocktails complement the food offering. The location at the heart of regenerated King's Cross makes it a natural gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.
Dogs are proudly welcomed throughout the venue, making it an excellent choice for dining out with your four-legged friend. The spacious terrace and relaxed atmosphere are particularly well-suited to canine guests.
