    Our little booth
    Anna T.

    Really enjoyed this place. Great, friendly, international service and AMAZING food. We booked a reservation in advance and had a beautiful booth and no issues whatsoever. We got the baked Brie appetizer and fought for every morsel. Definitely get the fish and chips--so fresh, and light and perfectly fried. Huge portions. Friends ordered the lamb with mash and truffle and the steak and both were amazing. I will definitely come back next time I'm in London.

    This place.. I discovered alot more once I got home and got onto their website then I did while I was actually at the damn place. This would be simply because it was so packed! I had to shuffle down between the bar and all of the people tucking into some traditional British fare (and believe me, every single table had someone sitting there eating.) and I managed to find a single table at the end. The waitress thought I was a very shady character indeed - not 60+ years old? Not well to do? Not eating?! How dare I sit in her restaurant. To be honest, I was a little bit uncomfortable as well. I looked around and was just mightily impressed with what I saw. The place reeked of old fashioned class, wooden and felt walls complete with what seemed like fully genuine paintings, wooden finishes and felt. Like a luxury train, a 1950's royal train carriage. Their are little alcoves that can be closed off from the rest of the restaurant floor, and it is here that you can imagine tycoons doing their business over a spot of Rarebit, or maybe even mafia kingpins deciding on who to kill... okay, getting a bit ahead of myself. But you get the picture - such a classy place. The menu itself is quite small in terms of the range of food but the food is so unique and traditional that this doesn't really subtract from it at all. Still awesome. Still beyond me.. for a good 10-20 years. Until I'm at the top and I can close off my alcove and cut my deals...

    Excellent pub, but be warned it's not the biggest (it's quite narrow) and it gets very busy most nights.

    After visiting Shakespeare's Globe across the Thames River, I was rushing to the airport and…read morespotted this place near St. Paul's church after crossing Millennium Bridge. Given the location, I knew it was probably a tourist trap and I wish to avoid those usually but had no time so stopped in on a Monday afternoon for lunch. I'm so glad I did! I was in London only briefly and had yet to try proper fish and chips and I was definitely WOW'd. I've only had this in America, and this was definitely better than anything I've ever had. When it arrived on my table, I could feel the heat from the plate -- that's how scalding hot and fresh it was, and I loved that! The cod was absolutely massive, a thick portion of fish deep fried with the skin on within an incredibly crunchy beer batter. There were pieces of bone in it, but no bother, this only made it seem more fresh. The chips (thick cut fries) were perfectly crispy and both the fish and chips were insanely delicious with a bit of salt and malt vinegar (which I had to request by walking up to the bar). The dish came with a tartar sauce and ketchup, but tasted way better with the salt and vin. I absolutely love that the fish and chips also came with mushy peas, whereas most pubs only give you fish and chips alone. The dish was also very well priced at 9.95 GBP, and I was able to use my credit card, rounded up to 10 GBP because they have a 10 GBP minimum for using cards. I appreciate that this restaurant had free wi-fi, which I found out by asking my waiter, who quickly provided the secret code for me to use. In America you would never ask your server for this but I noticed that nearly every hotel and restaurant I visited during my 11-day tour of Europe offered wi-fi. Good on them, because how else would I check in to a restaurant on Yelp and shower them with praise and circulate promotional foodie photos on Instagram? During a weekday, many workers nearby flood this place to grab a pint during lunch....now, why don't I work in London? I would give this place five stars based on the food alone, but I am giving it four because I wished the service had been more attentive, as I had to go up to the bar to get malt vinegar and also to ask to pay my bill. I understand service in Europe is more laissez-faire than in America, but since this is a tourist spot I would have liked to be checked on by the staff at least once during my meal, and certainly to be presented with the bill. Note: They also serve Sunday roast dinner for 9.95 GBP on Sundays

    Great location, great specials and great service. This is a solid pub that seems to attract a good…read morecrowd. Being from the states I am not as familiar with all the UK brands --- but they seem to offer a wide variety of beers (lots on tap) and cocktails. TIP: I recommend hitting this place before 5:30 on the weekdays as the happy hour crowd fills this join up.

    We had passed this pub several times, as it is located on a common route to the hotel we were…read morestaying in, and we wanted to have our first London pub experience, so try it, we did. We arrived just after the work day, and the crowd was buzzing just outside. We did the self-seating option indoors, and sat down to a great view of the Thames river, as we pondered our meal choices from the menu. The location is just great. For a leadoff drink, I had to go with the house cask ale, which was the Fuller's ESB, a drink I've been enjoying since the 1990's, and it delivered as expected. I went with an order of Sausages with mashed potatoes and peas...it doesn't get much more classic than that, and I was happy with it, especially with the quantity (3 sausages!). Wifey was on the hunt for a meat pie, and she went with the Steak, Ale & Mushroom Pie, which I can report was wholeheartedly approved. One of the better pies we've had on the overall trip, and the best we had at a pub location. The overall vibe of this pub is exactly as you might picture it, and we weren't disappointed with any aspect. Service, though not overly patient (hey - they were busy), was competent and pleasant. Cheers!

    Great pub in the City of London. Found it while walking near the River front after crossing north…read moreover London Bridge. Casks, drafts, lots of seating - both indoor and outdoor. They had billiards and some other entertainment. Quick service.
