Really (in my American pov) seemingly traditional local pub and restaurant. Had needed reservations for Boxing Day and the place was very lively, holiday-ish and a fun! Menu ranged from roasts to traditional burgers etc. service was fine, a bit slow from what I am used to but no rush needed. Dinner was good. Really solid. I'd not go out of my way to shout about it but I'd offer it as a suggestion if nearby! read more

Found this local spot in the neighborhood after the museum visit and was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend the fish and chip. The fish portion was generous, and that haddock tasted amazing. The beef cheek cottage pie was also very good. Came out in a cast iron pot. Service was a little slow, but overall fine. A cool local pub good place to hang out. read more

I'm so happy I was able to experience my first Sunday roast here! Where do I start? The service was immaculate. The manager and staff were so friendly and attentive. They really made you feel like you were at a family members home having Sunday dinner. Now let's move on to the actual meal. The chicken was so tender and juicy, but actually, the cauliflower cheese was my favorite part. Nice portion side and steaming hot. They had a great selection of wine and served a nice pour. They have a pretty spacious area with one side accommodating the bar patrons with TVs and stools, and the other side for the people dinning in. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to accommodate us, which seemed to be the case for most folks. Overall, I would highly recommend and I myself, will be back on a Sunday! read more

Great pub experience. Food, drink selection, and service was great. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for. Desserts were good as well. Will be back next time we are in London. read more

We had a friends and family meal for six people. Good idea to book in advance. They pulled some very creamy pints of Guinness indeed. The food is traditional and surprisingly good. Take an extra Lipitor if you want to depart from the limited vegetarian options; they do offer hummus and lots of veg sides. read more

Made a quick stop here for Fish & Chips, and so glad we came by before our visit to the British Museum for dinosaurs. Super good Fish & Chips - moist, soft, flaky fish and fresh & tender fries. Would come here again! Miss it already now that I'm back in the states. Friendly service as well and plenty of indoor seating or can take-away, highly recommended! We walked here from South Kensington London Underground, roughly 10 minutes. read more

Great food, great beer, great location. What more do u need from a pub. I've recommended Hereford Arms before and I continue to do so.

Great staff, just make sure you arrive early for Sunday supper. We missed out but it was our own fault. Enjoyed our food and drinks. Staff was attentive. I would go back. read more

This is your basic English pub with a full on bar. The difference is that they serve dinners, and not just bar bites. Expect service to be slow, and best to go up to the bar to order/pay for your drinks so you don't have to wait for the wait help to take your order. We went for Sunday dinner which I heard is a tradition in London. Got a large plate of overcooked meat and traditional Yorkshire pudding. It came with large portions of cooked carrots, parsnips and cauliflower all smothered in brown gravy. I had the roast chicken (dry, overcooked) and my husband had the lamb shank (boiled, tender). The gravy was the same for both plates. The chap next to me ordered the fish and chips. It was a large portion of white fish, battered and deep fried. He said it was okay, but just a tad bit greasy. The gal next to me had the roast beef which were slices of well done meat. I was disappointed because it wasn't what I was expecting. But it was a good experience if you want to try English food. read more

We enjoyed a delicious Sunday Roast at the Hereford Arms. Clear skies and comfortable temperatures moved us to dine outside. More formal dining is inside. I ate the beef roast and will try the lamb/pork on another visit. Very enjoyable. read more

Dine in (Nov 2022; 645pm on a Friday night) Order: Chicken liver parfait - 9/10 Fish & chips - 9/10 Hereford arms cottage pie - 6/10 2x Cornish ciders Total = £55 Table Seating is first come first serve but at 7pm many people are just there for a drink or two and we snagged a spot after just a few minutes. Ordering and paying is done at the bar and then they bring your food to your table. -chicken liver parfait (9/10) -This was delicious. Served with 4 long crostini toasts and a side of a spiced, chunky apple jam. The liver parfait was light, creamy, and perfectly salted. Alone it was lonely but adding a tad of apple jam gave it a whole few flavor pairing. Would recommend! - Fish & chips (9/10) - Another must order. Huge slice of well cooked and flaky cod and batter was crispy all over and not too oily. Served with tartar sauce (house made, very good) and smashed peas (which were less mashed and more whole/chunky). Chips were crispy and fluffy. Would come back! - Cottage pie (6/10) - Not our favorite. We actually didn't finish and left half. Was a bit flavorless and badly needed salt and other seasonings. Though the warm kale salad it was served with was yummy. Would pass next time. read more

Service was poor...waited 20 minutes to place order, the 40 minutes to receive food. Sunday roast portions were small and "beef" was two slices of thin overcooked meat. Other food was "good". Then waited 20 minutes to received bill. Unlikely to recommend. read more

We came here by happenstance - killing some time walking around on our first day in London. The hospitality awaiting us from the bartender was impressive - she was very friendly, professional, and welcoming. As we were headed to afternoon tea, we didn't eat, but we did have a couple of pints. The beer was cold and tasty. The atmosphere here was good - the customers appeared very happy with their orders and the service. Leaving London almost a week later, we agreed we would have loved to have come back here for a meal. Next time, Hereford Arms! read more

We stayed near this spot during our visit and came here so many times during our stay. The fish and chips were the best we had in the city and they had a great selection of beers to choose from. Whether you come for the food or the drinks, either is a good choice. It has a great environment here too which is perfect for a late night bite or drink. The staff gave us some great recommendations for our stay as well! read more

Amazing fish and chips and the beer I had was delicious as well. My server was great, she was able to get me different samples of beer to try before I committed!! After traveling about 12 hours on a plane, this was heaven!!! The restaurant is quiet in the day time, but gets busy and loud at night. I would love to come back when I come back to London!!! They take credit card so that's awesome! Apparently you don't really need to tip, but there was a screen for it when I swiped my card...so yeah you can decide! It's also very close to the tube station! read more

Place was hoppin on a Thursday afternoon. Decent prices, good pub food. Fun crowd with enough seats inside and out , or standing room on the patio (even in the London drizzle) would come back for another round. read more

My wife and I ate there this past Friday night. When we arrived the place was already packed, with all dinner seating at the tables taken. The host directed us to grab drinks at the bar and said he'd find us if a table happened to come available. Within 5 minutes of getting our pints he found us at the bar and brought us over to a table. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent, the service friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere lively and happy. I'd highly recommend this place! read more

Amazing amazing place! Food was fantastic, vibe was great. My partner and I had been all over UK searching for the best fish and chips and this was it! Light fluffy batter and huge piece of moist haddock. Fries were good and well battered. Additionally my partner got the cottage pie with braised beef and a side of kale. Surprised by how good everything was! read more

This place gets really packed when the game is playing, but it's a really fun place. This is a traditional pub that serves your typical British food, though I've only tried the drinks! The bartenders were friendly enough, and the beers were tasty and reasonably priced for the area. I tried a Rekorderlig, which is bottled but has is delicious if you're not really into the taste of alcohol. If you plan on eating here with more than two people, it'd be best to make a reservation to guarantee a table. Very enjoyable and positive atmosphere if you're wanting to get that great English vibe. read more

Tasty food & friendly staff. I was staying at a hotel nearby and the concierge recommended this place to me when I asked for "a good place that serves fish & chips...and beer...lots of beer" - and voila! I ended up going back the next night after touristy stuff Odds & Ends They stop serving food at 10pm - barely made it, whew! They don't serve Tennent's Beer - boo! They do have Strongbow though - yay! They have live music the last Friday of the month - my good fortune it was the last Friday of the month! Food - the fish & chips (and peas) were plentiful and tasty. I ordered the chicken meat pie the next night at the waitresses recommendation and it was also very good. I have posted pics of both in here. The bar seemed to be a local favorite which is always a good sign. read more

Excellent atmosphere, service and drinks! We came in at the recommendation of our tour guide, after a long day of touring the country. We were greeted promptly and found a table near the bar. The place is clean and lively, and provided the exact atmosphere we were looking for in a British pub. We love that this is a Fullers pub, featuring the last independent brewery in London, and that the food utilized this charm (beer battered onion rings anyone?!). The onion rings and wings were fantastic and the brews were so good we wish we could have just stayed the whole night. We definitely recommend this place and can't wait for the day we come back to London - we'll definitely find ourselves here again! read more

We were visiting from the US and Yelp helped us find this place. We didn't get any food because it was late and the kitchen was closed.

I was here on a Monday afternoon so the atmosphere was sparse and probably not the best. I came based on other reviews but would not recommend myself. The bar staff is friendly but completely inattentive once you've purchased a drink, which would make sense if they were busy but they were very much not. The pub itself is nice enough, but nothing to write home about. read more

Went with a very large group and was impressed how they treated us. We all got the fish and chips and they were the best I have ever had. Very little batter and cooked perfectly. The peas and chips were also outstanding. The overall feel of the place was great and highly recommended read more

if either the food or the service had been a little better, 3 stars. but both were really bad. I was shocked to see so many rave reviews, but when I looked, I realized that almost none of them were from people who lived in England. maybe those people don't really know what a good pub should be we came for Sunday roast. the beef was cheap and dry and overcooked. the yorkshire pudding was stale. we ordered a £50 bottle of wine and it came opened!! who does that? service was annoyingly bad. they brought the mains without clearing the starter plates so we had to stack them up until they came back. no one ever checked on us to see if we needed anything and we had to wave repeatedly at the host and waitress to get our check never going back read more

When I was in London, the tour director recommended this pub walking distance to the hotel. My friend and I went there for dinner one evening, and it was the best meal I had in London. I had fish and chips, but I got sweet potato wedges instead of the regular chips. It also came with mashed peas, which I found is a common side with fish and chips . The fish was melt in your mouth and the sides were delicious too. It was a large meal and I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it when I saw it put on my table, but once I started eating it, I gobbled it up. Wish I had another chance to eat there again on the trip. The dinner and a glass of wine was about 24 pounds, which I thought was a fair price. read more

I want to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at Hereford Arms for being so gracious and accommodating to us on Monday 19 of August. My mother recently had open heart surgery. She wanted to visit London as part of her "bucket list". I knew I had to take her to Hereford Arms at least once. I made an ambitious reservation time for a mere 3 hours after we landed at Heathrow. Needless to say, she was tired but willing to brave the Tube for a good meal. She was absolutely delighted by the fish and chips. My cottage pie was out of this world. The staff was simply wonderful. Thank you so much for making my mom's first day in London a truly memorable experience. - Two US fans, Meredith and Julia read more
