Was planning on going to a spot next door, but they were very busy so came here. Glad I did as soon after it got busy. It's seat yourself, order at the bar and watch your things as sticky finger folks walk through often...per bartender. I ordered the house 3 beer flight for £6, but they were out of one and the guy tried to give me 2 of the same. No, no. We settled on an IPA that wasn't part of the house. Didn't particularly care for their house beers, including the IPA, but liked the other hazy IPA. As for the steak and ale pie, it wasn't mother mash, but I still found it good and enjoyed it. They didn't add tip on my bill, but there's an option to add. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, good vibes and awesome staff! I came here during the holiday and it was a really fun time!

Great pub! My friend and I stumbled upon Greene King while looking for a great restaurant after touring the city. We were immediately greeted by the wonderful staff and sat at an intimate table towards the back. The pub was busy but we had no issue with seating or ordering. I ordered the Shepards steak pie with mash which was delicious and a few rounds of beer that was on tap. Enjoyed my visit and glad I got to come here. read more

Strong Brit bar with a strong influence on craft beers and whiskey including traditional English eats. Loved the Hazy Day and Level Head craft beers both refreshing and under $4.00. The flaky tender white cod bites were spectacular and so was the sweet creamy potatoes. The manager Nico explained the beers that were manufactured by the Greene King and distributed. The men's bathroom was downstairs and clean. read more

Quick stop for a drink and bite to eat before a scheduled tour in this cute British decorated pub. Our friends ordered a couple appetizers and I ordered the crispy potatoes. They weren't crispy however they were delicious. It was self serve at the bar and bring it back to your table. Which was fine. I ordered an aperol spritz which was delicious. Great food and ambience and would recommend for a nice bite to eat. read more

First night in London and this place was recommended by our hotel concierge. Advantage it was closed to our hotel. The place was really nice. Busy and packed with customers. We were seated right away. We ordered thru the bar and the attendant was very helpful. Tried their London Pilsner very light. The fish and chips were ok. The battered fish was soft but flaky. The baked green peas were sad. Bland and unappealing. The mashed potatoes with gravy was tasty. The French fries were average. The shepherd beef pies delicious but the crust was a little burned and hard to eat . The salad was favorite refreshing. Needed more watermelon , garnishing and dressing. Overall, it was ok. This is purely based on my experience. read more

No table service, old fish and poor taste of food. Not worth visiting as other shops has much nicer offerings

Food and beer were superb. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. Would definately recommend.

We stopped in here to catch the end of a match. It was packed and we ended up standing around near the tv's which was fine because we were just grabbing a pint and not staying long. The guys I was with each grabbed a drink and we stayed until the end of the match. This totally is your typical pub! If you are in the area and wanting to grab a drink, this is a good spot. Lots of tv's and everyone was super friendly. The food looked great but we didn't get any so I can't speak on how good it was. This was a good spot while we were headed somewhere else. read more

Fun pub! My friend and I stopped in for Fish & Chips and a beer. The place was full, due to a game on. We ordered at the bar, food was served quickly. Big portion, plenty of chips/fries. Choice of mashed or garden peas. We added bread and butter, though we didn't need it. Too much food. Felt like a pub. Outside seating available. Fun. read more

Food is the unsatisfactory. Chips were cold and chicken BLT so dry and almost uneatable.

Honestly this is the WORST food I've ever had at a public place. This was a fun atmosphere with lots of people drinking and enjoying themselves. Do not get the food. There was nothing redeeming about the food. The burger was not the right color. Nachos were made from Doritos and canned salsa. Go for a drink! Not a snack. read more

Worst food experience in London, hands down. We were on a layover and decided to catch some time in London proper. We stopped here to get a bite and thought it seemed like a good spot because it was hopping. I will say that the cider and ale were good, but the soda was flat. We ordered appetizers in the form of sausages, and meat pockets and they seemed microwaved and just were not good. The food was kind of gross and I can eat just about anything. We were highly disappointed and even the dessert cake was a microwaved, sloppy mess. If we come back to London, we won't come here. read more

We were really hungry and needed to get some food fast, and happened upon this place right off of Trafalgar Square. The menu looks very similar to a couple of other pubs in the area. We wonder if they are part of a chain, but with different names? We walked in, found a table we liked, got our own water right away at a station designed for that, and figured out what we wanted. Orders are taken and paid for at the bar. Servers bring silverware and napkins, as well as our food when it's ready. I got the grilled cheese and a side salad. The grilled cheese was huge. I ended up having to just eat the gooey cheese out of the middle and leave much of the sourdough bread on the plate, even though I love sourdough! The sandwich cane with enough salad, so the extra one I ordered wasn't needed. It was a pretty basic salad--lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. My husband got the fish and chips. The fish was battered and crisp and tasted good. He got an abundance of fries and a little bowl of peas. No came to check to see how we were doing or if our meals were to our liking, but maybe that's normal in a place like this? It was a normal pub atmosphere, just nothing that absolutely wowed us. read more

Worst food I had in London. The BLT sandwich had the driest chicken I have ever tasted. The bread wasn't even toasted. The water even tasted funny. The staff barely got off their ass to serve us. read more

We we were looking for traditional British Fish and Chips and we had the trifecta of atrocious service, terrible food with a hair in the batter that was at a overpriced tourist trap. It is confusing to have a server seat you and then not take you our order. When we figured out the lay of the land the staff acts like you are dumb ass for not knowing food had be ordered at the bar not at the table. We ordered fish and chips "Best Ever Hand Made made Atlantic Cod." The was not cod because of the blood in the fillet. The fish was greasy and you got about 10 french fries with peas. To top it all off it took an hour to be prepared and one of the five orders had hair in the batter. The staff did not seem to care and did nothing about it. We were ignored. What lift salt in the wound was we had to pay at the time of order which included the gratuity. I have paid for bad food before, but never been forced to give a gratuity, tip, for it. I would avoid this pub like the plague. If I could've given a rating of zero, I would, but I had to leave at least a one to post. read more

Went to this place and wanted dinner and drinks. They claim no food for an hour. Well prior to coming to this place I went to Glouster same menu and they said the same thing. Mind you people were sitting there eating while we wait. I'm black! I'll Never visit this racist place again! read more

I'm sorry, but most of the pubs are now Greene King, and they suck! Same crappy beer! Marginal service. I've been to 5+ so far and it's sad, sad.... where's the individual pubs and beer options?! GONE! read more

TOURIST TRAP! Dont go, this is a chain and it's all a sham. Go to a real pub like The Victoria, The Dove, etc. Find a cute historical pub! The food is over priced, the servers are rude, and it's over crowded. The process is confusing at first and the servers look at you like your dumb if you dont know. You find your own table, check your table number, order at the bar, and then go back to your table. (Typical pub method but confusing if you're not from around) Food: Our meals weren't even complete. We were missing shrimp, sauces, peas, etc. The quality of the food was good but it didnt make up for the environment. Bathrooms: the restrooms were a mess! Toilet paper everywhere on the floor, some didnt properly lock, and it smelt so strong. Dissapointed :( read more

With a pub on practically every corner, I liked this one for plenty of outdoor seating. Sadly, they closed outdoor seating at 1700 hrs (subtracting a star), and I moved inside with the beer that the helpful barkeep recommended, adding a star. I decided to order a wild mushroom pudding. Orders are placed at the bar: "What was my table number?" I found a table (no number), left my beer to hold it for me while returning to the bar, pointing to the table, and paying for the order, which arrived incorrectly as steak and mushroom pie. Exhausted, but happy no one grabbed my beer, I just kept it. read more

When in London, you have to have at least one meal at a pub. For us,​ one meal was enough. This pub had an unusual setup​, it looks like a regular restaurant but you go to the bar to place your order and they deliver it to your table. We had: - Fish and Chips - good - Steak and Wine Pie - tasty - Hamburger - basic - Cheese Steak - my daughter was expecting Philly and got chopped beef on toast with onions. She was less than thrilled. This was a nice dining experience​, but we are not pub eaters. FYI - there are several pubs around London owned by Greene King with different names. The menus are identical. read more

We put in our order an hour and a half ago and we're still waiting.... Save yourself and eat somewhere else if you're hungry.

We came across Greene King during a very long walk around the city. We were tired & could use some food fuel. The pub was very cozy & clearly popular with locals. I ordered fish & chips & my husband had a burger. The food was good. We had a nice break & continued our walking journey with full tummies & well rested. read more

Lovely little pub, a stone's throw from Buck Pal. Had a couple of beers and fish and chips. Met all my expectations for a classic English pub lunch experience. Bartender was friendly and recommended an excellent ale. read more

Stopped for lunch - great food court on this street which looked wonderful. However, wanted a place to sit and have a beer and selected this place - not so good! Food was below average (very greasy), not well prepared food. read more

The food here is the standard chain pub fare and is overpriced. The beer is fine. Unfortunately the woman behind the bar was surly beyond belief just because we sent back one of the food items we ordered as it wasn't what we asked for. She insisted that we were wrong and walked away in a huff. The other staff seemed to be afraid of her. We won't be back. read more

This place looks good from outside so I decided to try it. I was a warm Inviting place and I would have thought they would have servers to take orders. I realized after 15 minutes of waiting, I went to bar and asked how do I order food. The gentleman who help was kind, but looked at me and said it would take 45 minutes to get my food should I order something. Well I wanted to have some fish and chips before I left so I ordered. It took 30 minutes!!. I would not have gone here had I read the review first. Staff will walk by and ignore you when you try to get attention and extremely slow service and product selling is not very good after the long wait. read more

As a tourist, one of the things on the London check list was to go to a pub. This was our second pub of our visit, and while it definitely had that "pub feel" there was also something that seemed manufactured about it. It felt like going to New York City for pizza, and ending up a Sbarro (a pizza chain, for my non-American friend's). Sbarro is fine, the Greene King bar we went to was fine, but after going to authentic London pub, we could tell this wasn't the same. Too many cookie cutter ads and the menu looked very generic. I will say the fish and chips (the fish particularly) were very good and I liked the vast selection of wines. So if a Greene King bar is close by, and you're tired and hungry, by all means this is not a bad stop. But if you're looking for a more authentic London pub, look a little closer. read more

Visited this British Pub whilst in London with family. Great place with good selection of typical food expected. Prices were good and soccer fans watched games. It was lively. We had a few pints and food. Twice we went in the 4 days we were there. It as near our flat. A pretty great hangout and fun spot. read more

No doubt many folks would recommend other places, but for 2 hungry tourists over the Christmas Holiday who wanted fish and chips/lunch, you can't beat this place. Right off of Trafalgar Square it's closely to attractions. I had the Ultimate Fish and Chips (my wife had Festive Pie, which was really good) and was not disappointed. Hefty portions for the price. Sticky Toffee Pudding with Custard was also quite good. Watched come football on the screens while waiting and eating, and it was a British experience we were hoping for. read more

This was a great place to dart in and sit down for a break and a cold drink and free WiFi. I was able to google map the next place on my journey. I decided to look at the dinner menu and saw a vegan burger that I had at Devonshire Arms a couple weeks ago. I decided to stay for dinner and order it again. It was not as good. Dry and a little crisp on the edges;( read more

There are many pubs in this area. Many side-by-side and all with similar menus -- after all - it's pub food . I have been to almost all and the Greene King is far and away the worst. Both in offering of food and by it's absolutely abysmal service The portions are fair sized -- but the food is frequently cold and the fish greasy and flavorless. And certainly don't ask the staff for something extra! I asked for a bit more Tartar sauce and it became a massive policy debate among the staff and I was ultimately told "no" -I couldn't have extra. So extremely marginal food and a lousy attitude like that leads to my unequivocal "do not go" recommendation read more

This is a decent bar. Every time I come to the UK, I always have to get a Sunday Roast. I know this is in the touristy area, my fault for not looking something up earlier to suit what I was looking for. The wait was not long and everyone was very friendly, but don't be looking forward to an authentic meal. I'd call this the "Olive Garden" or "O'Charley's" of Sunday Roasts. Big portions, but sup bar food. Great staff however, and somewhat convenient if you are in the tourist area wanting semi local food. read more
