Best ever steak pie, excellent service, fabulous pudding with toffee sauce. Both the pie and pudding were recommended by our lovely server and she was right on! Go and try and you will find a new go to spot for date night or place to meet up with friends. Oh and the cider was yummy too! read more

I was a little skeptical coming to a random place based on Yelp reviews but it didn't disappoint. Kele and all the staff provided exceptional customer service.. the food was delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere, cleanliness and how welcoming everyone was. I really enjoyed my first dinning experience! read more

They don't have fish and chips anymore! It's still on their menu as far as yelp goes so quite disappointed to get there and find out that they don't have the one thing that they're known for . read more

Food was ridiculously Bland. I ordered - Fish & chips 1/10 the mashed peas was ok. The gist was completely Bland, No taste at all. Even the tartar sauce didn't help. Very underwhelming. Fries were 1/10 soggy, not crispy or very fresh. -Drinks we're good 7/10 -desert sticky toffee 0/10 it was not good. Cake is sweet, and it's in a toffee sauce also sweet and it appeared the sprinkled raw sugar on top or the sauce they made the sugar didn't dissolve properly. It was overly sweet & inedible Ambiance is small & homey. It's a pub, a neighborhood pub. 6/10 read more

We could not have enjoyed our experience at The Andover Arms more! The service was absolutely amazing! The gentleman who served us was so lovely and warm making us feel right at home in a place we'd never been. The food was fantastic and the ambience and decor are stunning. We stopped to take a photo out front and a lovely gentleman jumped up from his seat with friends to insist upon taking a photo of all of us. Even the other guests were fantastic! We'll definitely return on another visit to Hammersmith! read more

Awesome Sunday roast. Hefty portions. Great beer options. Helpful staff. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, beer and service. The porterhouse was cooked perfectly and the fish and chips were delicious. Great desserts also. Not too busy and loud at least when we were there on a Thursday night. read more

Very good pub in a quiet area. Excellent ambience and pub food. The service is friendly and gentle. They accommodated splitting the bill since I was there with coworkers. The crumble is as good as the best ones I had in UK. They take reservations online read more

Smashing. You're full of great food, beer, atmosphere and wonderful service, but get the cheesecake. You'll thank me later.

We like this one as it is a real traditional local's pub tucked away in a really quiet side street between Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith. Really good ale and the food is traditional and Fuller's haven't been tempted to give wither the pub or the food a gastroisation. If you like a pub to be a local's pub and not all stainless steel and flash them this is the ideal place for you. I would thoroughly recommend this place and suggest it is one of the few that is worth the walk to search it out. It does nothing flash and is just a good honest boozer offering a friendly and pleasant atmosphere. read more

This pub is an absolute gem! We were looking for somewhere local to go, and decided to give Andover Arms a try for a Saturday night meal. The pub was surprisingly crowded, so I would highly recommend booking a table. I ordered the chicken and chorizo pie, which was absolutely massive. Our friends ordered the lamb shank which was even bigger! I was almost taken aback by the portion size (that says a lot coming from an American!) My boyfriend ordered the steak, which was unfortunately surprisingly small. However we were all satisifed with the food. It was hearty, savoury, and hot! The Andover Arms is cosy and has tons of charm. Honestly it's perfect for any sort of get together. There were couples on dates, families with their dogs, and groups of friends. I'll certainly be back! read more

A tucked-away pub with a nice aesthetic. Quite quiet at the time I went. What really let this place down was the quality of the service. Which is at best: incompetent, and at worst: deliberately misleading. I arrived to an almost empty pub. The bartender was enjoying herself playing with two children who were there. I sat down, pondered the menu, then approached the bar to order. I ordered fish and chips. I asked for 2 things: to replace the mushy peas with a portion of garden peas, and if they had coke on tap. She said yes to both of these. So I asked for the coke and the garden pea substitution. I was then asked to take a seat and the drink would be brought over to me. 10-15 minutes passed and I had not yet received my drink. In this time, I could hear the bartender playing with the kids and I could see that other customers were leaving the bar with full pints. It seems I was forgotten about. 15 minutes or so after my order, my food arrived. With no drink and with mushy peas. After a gentle reminder she returned to the bar to get my coke. When she got there I heard the "crack" as she opened what I suspect was a 2L coke bottle. Not quite what I was lead to believe early on when I asked if they had it on tap. They had the audacity to charge me £3 for this, but hey at least I had ice and lemon. I don't know whether she intended to conceal this from me by asking me to sit down or if this was just an unfortunate coincidence, and simple misunderstanding. But I have to wonder. All in all, it was hardly a mind blowing experience, but the pub would certainly suit someone looking to wind down with a pint in a quiet setting. I can't help but feel ripped off for paying £17.50 in total and getting this level of service. read more

In the most charming part of Hammersmith, at the end of a small leafy street stands this beautiful pub serving really good food in earthy portions. I recommend the Sunday roast. read more

Love the Andover, whenever I head back home to London we always get dinner here at least one night! From the excellent Lamb Shoulder to their Fish & Chips the food and service here is always spot on. They have a great wine list too. As it's tucked away in Brackenbury Village it's a real locals place and feels very homely inside. Keep up the good work! read more

YES - everything you wish for in a restaurant. Approximately one year after my last visit, I had to introduce my girlfriend and her parents to this place. The food is great. My mother-in-law and her boyfriend had the traditional Sunday roast, and were very pleased with the meat, the perfectly cooked vegetables and the potatoes which were boiled AND fried(?). My girlfriend was blown away by the incredible vegan nut-roast, and I had the chicken which was really juicy. All portions were large, and the desserts (bread&butter pudding and crumble pie with berries) were so good we had to finish them even though we were way past full. This place is so much more than good (GREAT) food. The service is impeccable, with friendly and down-to-earth waitresses. There was a pub quiz starting conveniently after our meal, and when we were struggling with the local questions, the whole staff took turns in helping us out. Everyone seems to be laid back at this place, and even though the locals let their dogs roam the restaurant freely, you'll never hear barking or growling. They have a fireplace, and stools by the bar if you just want to stop by for a pint (?). All in all: thank you! I will be back for more great experiences :) read more

My wife and I were staying near this pub while on honeymoon. After trying to find a pub that didn't seem like it was built to draw in tourists, we were delighted to find Andover Arms. The food was extremely good, the beer was of course amazing, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We walked into it by chance once night, but returned about a couple more times while we were in London. Easily the best pub we visited. read more

Masses of Meat. Perfectly crunchy vegetables. A big pillowy Yorkshire pud with a hole in it to pour rivers of umami gravy. Sunday Lunch at the Andover arms. Eaten next to a roaring wood fire, served by chirpy locals, Honeydew on tap. I don't think it gets much better. If you order the lamb or chicken it comes Flintstone stylee and you may get a little embarrassed by the size of the thing. The Pork Belly and the beef are every bit as filling but you don't look like such a guzzler because it's off the bone and a bit more manageable on the plate. This is the best Sunday roast by far, served in the loveliest pub in an area full of lovely pubs who serve great Sunday roasts. One drawback. You need to book. Tables are reserved throughout the day. This isn't one of those gastro pub that's completely forgotten its roots. It's a proper pub where you can have a proper drink and a proper sunday roast. Enjoy. read more

This beautiful little gem is tucked in between in a residential area close to ravenscourt park and lucky for me, my house! The interior was dark wood with a lovely fireplace and lots of tables, its a full bar with good selection of wines. It is a true locals pub and I felt jealous that I didnt seem to know everyone like other people there that evening. We had the cheeseboard which was really really nice and had food envy of other peoples food that kept going by. I cant wait to go back and try just about everything on the menu. read more

I'm lucky enough to live around the corner from this awesome establishment. As soon as you enter, the friendly staff greet and seat you with a big smile :) I remember not being bowled over by the menu.. It didn't do the food justice because THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC. I'd definitely recommend it. read more

Sunday roast was delicious. Such large portions and we finished it all. The Fuller's Honey Dew lager was yummy too. read more

Andover Arms - Steak & Guineas pie and Roast Beef - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

We were in Hammersmith for 4 nights and had several meals in the area. This was by far the best. It's pub food, but it's the freshest tasting and most delicious. Nothing there was bad. The wait staff and bar tender were really nice. The meat pie was amazing, i highly recommend that. Only downfall, they won't take tips via credit card. I felt sad I couldn't tip the wait staff, they were very kind. But we just didn't have an money on us. read more

As always, an amazing place, with incredible drink and food. Staff is very helpful and friendly, looking to keep the experience going, year in, year out. Was here a few years ago during Christmas Eve and even during a Thursday night it had the same feel that I experienced during a special night. Highly recommended and will be back for years to come! read more

Great food in a cozy atmosphere. Get the mezze board, but ask for a small one because it's a ton of food. The chicken and mushroom pie was the best I've had in London! Be prepared to leave full! read more

Happened to live near this cosy little bar for two years however was always hesitant to visit as its brewery owned. Eventually ventured in based on yelp reviews and it quickly became our favourite spot in the Hammersmith area. Lovely food, cosy atmosphere and great service. Check it out. read more

It is a short walk from the Hammersmith tube station. Once we walked in, the bartender greeted us and made us feel welcome even though the place was busy. We had a table quickly and the staff was very attentive. My wife and I thought it was the best food we had during our visit. It's away from the normal tourist spots so it gives you a real feel of how the British relax but they don't make you feel like a tourist either. read more

Cosy pub, baby friendly (at least at lunch) excellent steak & venison pie. We'll definitely be back!

I really enjoyed Andover Arms. Wonderful neighborhood feel, warm and inviting. We went for Sunday Roast. Which was fantastic! The chicken and the roast beef were delicious. I had the fish and chips, that remained crunchy throughout the dinner. They also have amazing desserts. read more

I have been to The Andover Arms 3 times now and each time was more enjoyable than the last. Having gone with a small group in all 3 occasions, I have sampled a few different items on the menu and nothing has disappointed. My personal favorite is the fish and chips. Standard English pub food, but at Andover Arms the quality and quantity is exceptional. What makes this pub special is the staff. There is one waitress/hostess, who is attentive, helpful, and truly makes you feel welcome, that I really need to get the name of. 5* for the staff, 5* for the food, and the atmosphere of the place is quite nice as well. Not a place that you need to dress up for, but far from being a dive pub. Andover Arms is definitely worth the trip out to Hammersmith and continues to be my favorite place to eat in London. read more

The food is warm, made to order, and definitely comforting. There is an excellent, calm ambience with old American jazz and blues numbers, and excellent lighting. The staff is inviting and humorous. Definitely a good stop if you're in the area. The bathrooms were a bit of a mess. We had the chicken chorizo and the mushroom Wellington. read more

The setting is basic and friendly. I had a lovely roast lamb dish with vegetables and chips .... Delicious really tasty however starter was disappointing I went with a duck pate like substance.....waste of money. Slightly disappointed that 12.5 percent tip was automatically added. Because of the last 2 comments I wouldn't rate any higher than a 4 overall. read more

If you're looking for the quintessential British pub experience, go right past all the pubs on King St. and come to Andover Arms. It is is a residential area, and is really meant for locals. But the food is fantastic! I ordered the cod fillet with chick peas in a curry sauce, the dish topped with another sauce. It was heavenly! A mate ordered the standard fish and chips and he really like it also. We all got side salads, which were very tasty. Clearly home cooked style food here. We washed it down with London Pride beer - which upon tasting, you realize American beer is just crap. We also had an 8.5% proof Fuller's Vintage Ale, very nice! The outside is very cute, with lots of hanging flowers, situated on a side street, and the insides is just what you'd expect from a pub. Since we were Yanks, they treated us nice. This place is such a gem, I had to write about it. Lot's of beef items on the menu, if that's your thing. 5 stars, it's worth the extra walk to get to it. read more

Big Sunday set for all of us including my husband. But the special drink Bloody Margret has quite strong taste, wouldn't recommend to anyone who haven't try tomato drinking before. read more

Excellent food including some fish/seafood specials, Fuller's Ales (Pride, Chiswick, etc.) and a wood-burning hearth. With super-friendly service, the Andover is one of our local favourites. Very cozy without being claustrophobic - i.e. it's warm and welcoming but not small and cramped. read more

found this place on TripAdvisor and was very pleased! cute and cozy pub, good food, and superb service. i ordered the steak and Guiness pie, with creamy mash, veggies and gravy, and a glass of wine. overall, a delicious meal, but the gravy was exceptional. one of the servers sat down to chat with my friend and me for a bit and recommended some restaurants and things to see in the neighborhood we were staying in, all of which ended up also being great finds. it's a bit of a walk from the tube, but definitely worth it! read more

I don't know what the positive reviews are about either here on yelp or tripadvisor. Place was a run of the mill, old pub. Service was pretty good which is why I gave 2 stars, but food was nothing special. The seat cushions should be replaced and there were moths or something flying around that were distracting. Chocolate cake dessert tasted like it came from a microwave. read more

Love love love this pub. Food is amazing And service and all the staff are so warm and welcoming. A home away from home! Sunday dinner is a MUST!!!! read more

Second time there for lunch. Have to confess that we all went for the lamb again. Absolutely fantastic.. Slow cooked for 10 hours.. Huge portion.. Staff were as last time, amazing! They happily moved us to the table next to the fire when we asked. Cannot recommend this place high enough.. Worth booking in advance for Sunday lunch... And go for the lamb.. read more
