Normally the service is excellent but not today. We waited more than 10 minutes to get seating and more that15 for our server to get our order. Service not good for a Friday afternoon read more

Well, the location is fantastic! And the service was wonderful! The food, unfortunately, leaves something to be desired. Fish and chips are as basic as it comes, yet just wasn't quite up to par on flavor. Slightly bland, and fries slightly overdone. read more

Shannon was the absolute best! She took amazing care of us and was such a sweetheart. :-) Chicken strips are superb. The garlic bread is to die for. Chicken pot pie is 10/10! Come on by, you won't regret it! read more

Excellent food! My partner dragged me into this place and I had severely low expectations of a possible tourist trap. Fortunately I was so wrong. What a wonderful surprise the food and service was! My partner and I ended up eating there 3 days in a row. Lol! You must try it. read more

After a stroll along the beach, we run into Britannia Arms and suddenly felt nostalgic for our trips to the UK. We were greeted by a friendly server who gave us a choice of tables (outside, of course). We had the traditional Irish breakfast and the traditional English breakfast, which were exactly the same except the Irish breakfast includes black pudding, something I wasn't familiar with. Turns out it's pork blood sausage, which I wasn't a fan of, but I'm sure it's a favorite of the Brits. The rest of the breakfast was a delicious feast, consisting of bangers, perfectly cooked eggs, English bacon (which is like ham), fried potatoes, toast or English muffin, and choice of tomatoes, mushrooms, or beans. It's a lot of food that can easily be shared. They have a great location overlooking the beach, which makes for a great outdoor dining experience. I look forward to returning for their fish and chips. read more

We fell in love with this great restaurant food was fantastic service unbelievable we've enjoyed their patrons staff and especially the owners Andy and his lovely wife, everything on menu excellent also very entertaining read more

Loved it! We came in while exploring g the area and ended up enjoying delicious cold beer, having some good food and hearing some entertaining Karaoke! We hung out here pretty much all Friday night and started by just hanging at the bar and enjoying beers and each other's company. Our bartender was Irish and poured a great Guinness! My friends all got the Tangerine Wheat but I stuck with Guinness because it's delicious! I did appreciate that they had Tangerine Wheat though, it's a fantastic beer and great when it's hot out! After a few hours Karaoke started and things started getting crazy! There were a bunch of groups that came in and some great and not so great singers. I will say that everyone had a great time though!! Throughout all the craziness out bartender kept us hydrated, all it took was a little eye contact and a nod from us and we had another round of beers! I will say the bar is the spot to be! We met some great people and of course it's easier to keep your drink filled when you're sitting right there. If you do have a spot and need to leave for the bathroom make sure someone's is watching your seat! There were some people trying to poach ours the whole time, luckily we used the buddy system to keep them saved after the seal was broken. I learned they serve food until 11 which is awesome!!! I had the corned beef sandwich and it definitely paired with my Guinness well! I would definitely recommend coming here for beers, to watch a match on TV or for some weekend entertainment! read more

Had a fired delicious dinner here. Fish and chips highly recommend! Will be coming back with my boyfriend

WORST SERVICE EVER !! The waitress (with shoulder length strawberry blonde hair) took 15 minutes just to greet us and take our orders, she forgot to bring our waters...then 30 minutes after she took our order, she informs us the kitchen closed and our orders didn't make it. Didn't even bother to check on us prior to that. Ridiculous dereliction of duties!! Everything happens for a reason right, we ended up going to Alvarado Street Brewery & Grill...GREAT service and food !! Highly recommend. read more

Crab sandwich and onion rings were pretty good...a lil on the plain side, but onion rings were nice and crispy. Fish and chips were good. Portion was actually too big which is awesome! Candice our waitress is a great server and goes above and beyond. Shannon also checked on us as well. Wonderful customer service! Excellent food, prices, and service! read more

Came in for a beer...the First Lady who greeted us says have a seat anywhere you like. The second lady says how and Seated us somewhere of her choice....we ended up sitting outside. Mind you it's our first time so my boyfriend orders his beer I'm Not having anything. The last was really nice until We told her we weren't ordering food. "Oh no no no, YOU MUST ORDER FOOD TO SIT HER. She said rudely. You have to sit at the bar, how quickly her attitude changed once she realized we weren't going to be tipping her....didn't get her name but she's short 5'0-5'3 with glasses and wearing a hat. I told the manager and it's not the fact that you have the rule....it's how she told me about it...and you should have the sign before you go outside. Not hidden behind the door after you get outside. read more

We just enjoyed the best corn beef and cabbage that we've had in decades the corned beef was tender; the cabbage was fresh and not over-cooked. Steak and mushroom pie: lean steak, fantastic mushrooms and sauce. Fresh veggies on the side! Be sure to try the tangerine wheat beer! read more

We had a great family dinner before the public concert right outside. Bartender is grumpy and service took forever. Will never return here. Lots of places to spend our money. Until they get more professional and qualified staff it's not the place to go. Such a bummer. Expected the nice Santa Cruz vibe... read more

Great bar and restaraunt. Good drinks and ambience it's a real English pub. It's more than just a chippy

My first meal "at" Britannia Arms was via takeout during the COVID SIP. I had what turned out to be the best takeout hamburger I have had in my life. It was outstanding. It is difficult to make a hamburger that survives the takeout process but Brittania Arms does it perfectly. The key was the light and delicious bun. It was firm enough so it didn't get soggy, but light enough that it didn't seem dense. The meat was perfectly cooked (I like it medium/medium-well). My hubby had a Reuben and he loved it. He's a huge fan of sauerkraut and he said it tasted great and the meat wasn't too fatty. The service was fast. We ordered with Doordash and it got to our house within 35 minutes. Outstanding. We will be back to enjoy the inside of the restaurant once the SIP is lifted. If we are not ordering food, we won't sit at a table because we know better (hint hint, Blanca G!) read more

Great bar and restaurant. Better than the best pubs in England. I like the pies and fish. And pho. Great ocean view w al fresco seating. Better than ol blighty back in broken Britain cool waitresses and bartenders. read more

The last time I went to Britannia Arms was when it was at its Aptos location. It was always good and one of my favorite places when visiting the area. My friends and I decided to try the new location in Capitola. Two local friends advised us not to, saying that the food quality had gone way down. We went anyway hoping for the best. Upon arrival I immediately noticed that one of my favorite dishes from the past, lamb shank, was gone from the menu. I ordered another favorite, corned beef and cabbage. The corned beef was very dry with little flavor, the cabbage was very mushy. My friends had fish and chips, and a corned beef sandwich, which they both rated as a one. I'm sorry to see that the Britannia Arms no longer cares about serving quality food. I will miss going there. read more

We went down to the Esplanade to support the restaurants last night and ended up at Britannia Arms. It had been a few years since we had been there last. The food was ok, same with the service, but the restaurant is so gross and the bathroom worse. I'm talking paint peeling, table covers ripped, and chairs sticky and broken. Investment is needed to bring it back to the level of dive bar. We are not going back until this happens. read more

It's Father's Day, and Britania Arms of Capitola is the BEST!! English Huevos Rancheros. Fresh, light, Delicious! Crispy tortillas - Sydney does this right where others fail! The English beans add just the right flavor, and the produce (avacado, onion, tomatoe) is fresh and beautiful! Thank you for a great experience!! Following was my last review: I just had THE BEST crab cake salad at The Brit in!!! All I have left is a full tummy and an empty plate. It's a gorgeous day at the beach. A great lunch, good people, and view of a sparkling Bay and beach goers - what more could a girl ask for?? read more

Yes, the place has seen better days and it truly does feel like you're in a seedy locals pub in rural England where you might come to throw back a few beers with the rugby team and pick up some overly fake tanned Essex type girls. But true to it's name, the place does do a good British style fish and chips. It's hard to find fish and chips in America that aren't crumbed; Britannia Arms makes a great beer battered fish and chips for a reasonable price. read more

Let me start by saying that we didn't end up eating here for a very unprofessional reason. We were waiting to get seated and noticed a few customers arguing with the employees. Then we realize that the bartender and waiter were racial profiling several customers and seeing ALL the customers agree with each other made us realize this was definitely not the best place to eat or experience. Sorry but this is not okay at all, and it sucks to say but seeing "white privilege" definitely made us not want to come back to this place. read more

An encounter with white privilege My boyfriend and I had without a doubt a pure experience of white privilege at its worst. Because of the color of our skin, being Latinos. Myself, Mexican American. My boyfriend, Salvadoran, dark skin. The hostess, older white blond lady, ignored us and escorted two white ladies to a table outside instead. My boyfriend and I came to visit Capitola for the first time, spending our Valentine's Day together after a long week working as healthcare workers. We decided to stop by at The Brittania Arms for some burgers. We were already aware that the majority of people we have seen are white. We came inside to look for the hostess. We waited until she was available to greet us. Not once did she look at us. I said excuse me?. An older white lady comes in and asked us if we were waiting in line. I thought she meant the bathroom. I told we're waiting for a table. She approaches hostess at the bar and asked for a table outside. She tells her friend to sit down at the table that was available. I told the hostess "Excuse we're also waiting for a table". She hostess says "ok" and goes back inside like nothing. At that time, my boyfriend was already walking away, and said "I don't want to eat here anymore, not even worth it". If anything about this moment is clear, it's that racism isn't some bogeyman. It's real and it's a problem. The point is, your skin color affords you certain privilege in society that you may not even realize. I felt disgusted. My face must have reflected my shock and dismay. Not once did the hostess greet us or ask us if do we need a table. At that point, I felt so degraded and hurt. Rejected. We can not change my skin colour or our ethnicity, nor do we choose to change my religion. We hope and pray someday we as a society will grow beyond situations like this. read more

Great service, delicious food and the perfect people watching spot! Can't wait to visit again.

Love the location and people. Fish and chips and bangers are great. The beers and cider are also good.

It's not about white privilege, or about a race at all. This restaurant is just not a friendly place to dine. They had a "mask required" sign up, so I put mine on, walked in and 90% of the patrons were not wearing a mask, I order a Bloody Mary, he had no idea how to make one, put an olive WITH the pit in my drink, very lock lucky I didn't Crack a tooth! Then I walk in to use the restroom and the NON-MASKED server looks at me and says PUT YOUR MASK ON NOW! Um... have you looked in the mirror?? You yourself have no mask on!! read more

I wanted our check split by who ordered what, not 50/50. It was quiet. I think she didn't want to have to open a second tab. If you're going to do this make sure you tell the customers. read more

Britannia Arms - Enjoying a Guinness - Pubs Near Me - Capitola, California

Fun and casual atmosphere! Lots of locals, but gets a good fill of tourists as well. Great place to watch sports games, they label which games will display on each TV so that you can situate yourself accordingly. Food wise, fish and chips are excellent, the thickness of the fish is great and the beer batter is not overly coated, not greasy. The shepherd's pie was the first I ever had and the only one to date, I thought it was done really well however I have not had any other. Surprisingly, the pork chop dinner is amazing. The chops are a rather good size and have never been overcooked, nice and moist with great flavor. If you're feeling like a sandwich, the corned beef on rye is extremely tasty, not dry at all. The chicken sandwich is pretty basic, but is an excellent offering as well. Pretty amazing view if you're in the Capitola area. Owners are often on site and the staff is very accommodating and friendly. I more than happily visit the Brit in Capitola, definitely recommend it if you have never been. Great way to spend a Sunday during football season! read more
