Events and Catering Sales Manager, The Camberwell Arms

About Us:

The Camberwell Arms is a small, bustling restaurant in South London run by the team behind Frank’s Café in Peckham.

In the kitchen, Head Chef and Owner Michael Davies and the team have asserted their own unique style within our neighbourhood restaurant, serving up a thoughtful selection of snacks, small plates and generous feasting dishes designed for sharing and conviviality.
