Huge thank you to the team! I also noticed the restaurant was completely full and cozy of happy customers, which was great to see. If you're looking for classic bangers and mash in London, this is the place to get it. The customizability is incredible: just pick your main or pie, choose a mash, and drown it in gravy. With so many combination options, there are truly zero wrong answers. . A highlight was being introduced to Tracklements Spitfire Chilli Mustard--it was so good we had to ask where we could buy a jar! To top off a great meal, it was such a lovely surprise to learn that the owner used to live in Vancouver! Great food and wonderful staff! It does get very busy, so just be patient with the line; it's well worth the wait!

Interior: 4 Service: 5…read moreFood: 4 Value: 5 While in London, you gotta get yourself some bangers and mash, and Mother Mash absolutely delivered. The bangers were tasty, the mash was comforting, and the whole thing hit the spot after a day of exploring. But the food wasn't even the best part--the people were! Super friendly service, and I got to chat with the owner, who was genuinely one of the nicest people I've met on this trip. You can tell when someone really cares about their restaurant and the people walking through the door. Now for the sticky toffee pudding...DIABETIC DEEEELISH! My pancreas may file a formal complaint. JK...That sticky toffee pudding was ridiculously good. Great food, genuinely lovely people, and a dessert that made me dance. Welp! Onto the next!

It is in a stately old house - we were seated in the library - a beautiful room with built in bookshelves and hanging chandeliers. The menu was impressive, but I wanted to compare their fish and chips to the others I had around London. The portions were great and it tasted the same as it did at the Swan, so they tied for the best fish and chips we had on our trip. Service was outstanding - the best we experienced on our trip. Our server was present, knowledgeable, attentive, and very friendly. He made our experience that much better.

Luckily we found some stool seating by the front and were able to enjoy some beers and take in the ambiance. There's an upstairs that is accessible by a very very narrow staircase which even has handles for support, all part of the fun lol!! Beer: We tried out the Guinness (great pouring process!), peroni, and a local ale which the bartender allowed me to sample. He was very helpful and walked me through the different ciders they had in stock and even how you could add fruit syrups to sweeten the flavor. What makes this place even more memorable was the helpfulness of the young guy bartending. He helped us plan how to get to Gatwick airport extremely early the next morning and we owe him a big one!

Fantastic Sunday roast! We came without a reservation and arrived right before they opened. Luckily…read morethey had a table available for an hour and a half, so we were able to take it before the next set of guests arrived. We got the scotch egg to share, which I was so excited to try. It was perfect - crispy outside and meaty inside, with the brightest orange runny yolk with a touch of flakey salt. It was so delicious! For my main I got the pork belly, which was also perfect. The skin was so crispy and crunchy, the meat was juicy, and the layers of fat in between were delicious. I loved the abundance of veggies and also the potatoes on the side. Service was so friendly, and the ambiance was great too! I'd highly recommend this spot for a Sunday roast.

We made a reservation for Sunday roast at P&B. To be honest, it was like Thanksgiving on a plate…read more We ordered the 45 day aged steak. It was tender and delicious. The potato's looked better than they tasted (overrated). What tasted the best in my opinion was the sautéed leeks and parsnips and carrots. The bread was like a fried donut, eh. The Scottish eggs are decent. The ambiance was cool n trendy. Music was on point. We enjoyed our night here.

The restaurant itself is decorated with a classy-whimsical taste, that feels fun and regal at the same time. If you come, ask to be seated in the parlor terrace area. Rose colored decor mixed with marble. Very cool. The staff is extremely professional, dressed in green sport jackets and very attentive. They bring the food out fast! But it's anything but fast food. I had the absolute gorgeous Massaman Duck Curry. It was mouth watering with tons of flavor. I will be craving this for some time. For desert, I had the sticky toffee pudding which was delightful. Highly recommend The Ivy if you're in central London.

The most expensive dinner we had this week with the weakest hospitality and worst timing. SUPER…read moredisappointing. It took 25 mins to place our drink order- then about 30 more mins to get our food, after placing that order. Then we had to wait to place a dessert order. Then we had to wait for the check. One word for this comes to mind...'waiting'. We found ourselves waiting every step of the way for our waiter to acknowledge us. Honestly I can forgive A LOT if people are nice but that wasn't the case with our server. Low energy, not very warm and welcoming and slow. Actually to be fair, I got a smile from the busboy when I was on my way to the restroom- perhaps the 2 should switch roles if the restaurant is looking for repeat visits or nice reviews. Btw- the manager...not exactly sure what he was doing. One last thing, I've had sea bass in many restaurants and never had anyone leave the skin on-Just not what I expected. This restaurant gets 2 thumbs down for me. Go to Bills right around the corner - save some money - and get a smile from the staff and a nice greeting.

The entrance is not in the front, you walk down the alley behind the front entrance. There are many rooms in the various levels of this pub. The steps are tricky so watch your head if you're tall. Restrooms are modern so go visit them. We found a cool seat in the front bar. The bar keep was friendly and served me a very tasty cider. Hubby loves the beers on tap. There are plenty of spaces for seats so check them out.

When one of our running club members suggested we head here to have some pints a few days before the London Marathon this was a no brainer - we had to hit it up. Loved the vibe, architecture, and old world look, so much to view inside, artifacts and paintings, nooks to sit at over conversation, a nice assortment of British beers, and a truly cool historic atmosphere to take in. Tasty fish and chips too. Reasonable prices for a place considered touristy. History? Charles DIckens used to come here. Loved it.

The look, the vibe the staff and of course the drinks. Everything fires on all cylinders. Adding cream to the top, they offer live music. Not just any music, but quality. Queens Head is cozy and unassuming. You feel like you know everyone there and the staff treats you like family. Frankie, Will, Katey and Nicole are all amazing. When i showed them my home bar, they immediately collected items to add to my fun. Check them out in the pic section. We just cannot say enough about this Pub. It is always the first one we go to when we get to London and the ONLY one we go to everyday are there. GO GO GO.........You will NOT regret it.

What tips the balance to a 5-star review was a very key thing the server said to me after I mentioned I had an allergy.
