Covid or no, this is still one of the most comfortable- and comforting- pubs in London. The…read moreinterior is dimly-lit and rustic all around, complete with 'Lords' & 'Ladies' restrooms, a toasty fireplace, and cozy nooks to have intimate conversations in. The staff is still among the friendliest I've encountered in London- especially in a pub- and despite the current situation, not much has changed. Most places are now requesting that people pay a not-so-small holding fee (per person) in advance for the table, which one does not get back if cancelling on the same day; not so with this place. Booking was easy and the table was free. Prices were not so low, but more on that later. My one and only reason to eat in a pub, on any given week, is Sunday Roast. If you're new to London and don't know what this is, don't ask questions; just go and order one, already (on a Sunday). The Sunday Roast at the Crooked Billet is in my list of Top 3 Sunday Roasts in all of London. Whatever gravy/ sauce/ Yorkshire-something-or-other they're putting in there, it lends the whole meal the perfect balance of flavor, whether you're eating the veggie version or a meat-laden one. Of that, you have your choice of beef, lamb, or chicken. My personal favorite is the chicken; because you can never go wrong with chicken. As for the drinks menu, you have your usual round of stouts, lagers, ciders, and whatever else you alcoholics enjoy. I can never get away from my love of the sweeter drinks, so I always go for their ciders on tap; it compliments any meal perfectly, in my opinion. Don't judge. I know I said I would never order anything other than Sunday Roast at a pub, but that may have been half a lie. One of my friends can't help herself when it comes to dessert, and I am not one to stop her. As such a great friend, however, I'm not averse to sharing the calories and splitting the bill. So, I can attest to the sheer delicious perfection that is their Salted Caramel Pudding dessert with a scoop of ice cream. The others are great, too, but this one really stands out among the rest. Now, as to the unpleasantness: Given the current situation and all the measures that have been put into place, I feel that prices have gone up everywhere. I can't be sure if that's the case here, but between the 3 of us, my friends and I managed to spend a few quid shy of £100. Not unreasonable given all we ordered, but keep the tab in mind when going for all of those extra drinks; for your wallet's sake. Happy gorging!

Only thing I miss is that despite all the space they got rid of the piano, and the music nights. Perhaps they will consider these again. It could be a great summer concert venue with a bit of planning.

The full range of Timothy Taylor's is well-kept and the Sunday roasts are well worth the trip. The potato and leek soup is just the ticket for warming you up on a cold day.

We believe our order got lost because our food never came out despite the constant flow of dishes being carried to tables, this was quiet surprising considering it wasn't overally busy (around 2pm). The staff were apologetic and gave us extra focaccia bread and a bowl of green olives. We did go on to order coffee and desserts which were brought out promptly in comparison. I got the coconut cheese(less) cheesecake, however there was no coconut flavour :( mainly the sweetness from the date base (think raw food dessert) and was small for price- £7 Overall not a totally bad experience, food was good, when it arrived :)

Our waiter was quick to fix an error (we made) with one of the dishes and was very kind about it. The roast was good but I felt needed a bit more sauce or maybe a gravy on the side as there wasn't much moisture in the beef. Otherwise everything was excellent and we'll definitely go back.

The outside gave the impression of a run down bar or either an old man's pub minus the old man.

With the bar area simple enough and a beer garden at the back this should be a pretty good boozer, but there was so many things wrong. The bar area was pretty grotty & unwelcoming, the toilets smelt pretty awful and possibly one of the worse that I've smelt in quite some time.
