Whoever said food in the UK is bland is full of bollocks, clearly has never eaten at The Fellow. Both the fish and chip, and bangers and mash were excellent. Pair them with a pint of Guinness for a match made in heaven. Awesome pub, service and ambiance. read more

The Fellow - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Your attitude towards your not so white guests! We went there to try their "famous fish and chips", but dis not even get a chance to be seated. The "white barista" told us that the place is already fully booked. There were a lot of vacant tables. How can it be possibly fully booked? I guess, if you're not white, don't go there. Proud to be BROWN! read more

Great little pub close to king's cross. Staff is the sweetest, food is amazing (we had breakfast I highly recommend!) they have cute Harry Potter memorabilia up and all sorts of fun stuff on the walls. Looks like a great place to spend an evening too. The owner is very nice too! Make a stop here! read more

The Fellow - Inside of The Fellow, first floor. - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Looking to imbibe? Take a trip upstairs... The Sloe Gin Sour for 7.50? Yes, please. Two. Maybe. Ok, one. One for my friend. The downstairs was jumpin' (not a seat to be had on a chilly Wednesday night), but we found just enough space upstairs for our group. There are several very large seating options, though I am unsure if they can be reserved. Nice outdoor seating as well (perhaps in nicer weather). It's dark. It was cash only this night. The bartenders were skilled (whip that egg white, booooy!) and it's well priced for the high quality. I'll surely pop back in for dinner (with a reservation, apparently!). The area (right next to King's Cross/St. Pancras) isn't the most idyllic in terms of charm, but if you're a weary traveler this might be the respite you need. A cocktail and some wifi, get after it. Well located to public transit as a resort, too...obviously! Cheers. read more

The Fellow - Slow gin fizz: £7.50 - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Another excellent good value lunch here. this time an organic chicken breast BLT which came in ciabatta with the usual chunky chips and was delicious. £9. worth every penny. What a good place for a quick lunch and how lucky it's 100 yards from where I work. read more

Perfect place for a PARTAY, This place took us, 70 characters from the campest choir around and welcomed us into their bosom. I loved this venue for so many reasons. 1- It's right by Kings Cross station and a casual 10 mins walk from rehearsals 2. Despite being right by a major city station it is not full of touristy types and has class and soul. 3. It opens relatively late for a Sunday. Try finding a decent bar around that area open untill 11ish on a Sunday. I dare you. 4. Great party space. We reserved the upstairs area, known as 'The cocktail bar'. There are tasteful booth's a-plenty, nice floor space and amazing added bonus - - - - - - OutSide space, covered, heated, seated, big. 5 Very accommodating, even setting us up with our 'retro' CDs and generally being very attentive. 6.Great deal for hiring the space Reasonable range at the bar, but better on the downstairs bar. We had ordered some nibbles and they were pretty awesome from what I can remember. The chef was a sweetie and the food was out in a flash, mega organised. The whole party enjoyed there time there and commented on how great the space was. I hope we behaved ourselves and they'd let us back, because we'll def be coming here again. read more

Went here for the pre party drinks with the Crisis volunteers last night. The service was very good, drinks were reasonably priced for London and everyone seemed to have a good time. As for the food, they were above average as far as pub food go. I had a ribeye steak with hand cut chips and I loved it. Only one complain was I ordered my steak rare and it came medium rare. Other than that, we had a great time there. read more

This is a really good pub. I like the atmosphere, I like the beer (perroni again), location is good for beers on the way home from work. The kind of place you could sit and get casually wasted for hours. The outside smoking area upstairs is also great (especially good the time I came here when it was booked out one Saturday night for a private party). Haven't tried the food but it looks good, the service looks good, and people always seem to enjoy eating it. By far the best place for drinking in the kings cross station area. Update: Came for food on Monday night this week, its really good. For my main I had bream with vanilla sauce vierge, which sounds weird but was great. Gill had butternut squash strudel which was fantastic. No wine as it was a Monday but I had a bloody mary which is one of the best I've had, almost blew my head off read more

On a nice Sunday afternoon in London this place was shockingly and delightfully quiet. The interior of the pub is lovely and comfortable, the staff is nice, and overall I liked this place a lot. The food is just ok (we had the cauliflower and the chips) but I would definitely be back for some more drinks and to enjoy a nice weekend afternoon. read more

What a nice pub. Just to the side of Kings Cross Station, on the corner lies this has to pub. With two layers, including a little roof terrace - it's the perfect spot for an after work drink or a post travel beverage. Their roof terrace isn't huge but they do well with seating and space. The remaining two floors are spacious with plenty of room for standing and sitting. I can imagine it very cosy in winter. Drinks are reasonably priced (£5.60) for a large wine. Food I said was a bit more pricey but what I saw coming out of the kitchen looked great and they were decent sized portions Really nice atmosphere, seating available on a sunny evening. Just how a gastro pub should be I'd say. Lovely. read more

I'm giving this 5 stars, but with the caveat that I am rating it 5 stars as a pub to have lunch in. I'm not comparing it to any high end restaurant or to a dive bar. It is a nice pub to have a meal, and that's how I'm rating it. I came here yesterday for a roast with the family, and it was a big hit. Between us we got all the roast options - chicken, lamb, and beef. All came with well-cooked carrots, roast potatoes, mange tout (with some chili), and a bit of red wine jus as a gravy. No Yorkshire pudding, but it wasn't missed. The chicken was cooked very well - not dry, but not undercooked. It also came with bread sauce, which I love, so big bonus points for that! The lamb was much loved by my fellow diners, as it had been for 18 hours or something and literally fell apart when you touched it with a fork. The beef was probably the least liked - it was good, and those who ordered it enjoyed it, but it's pre-cooked to rare so there's no way to have it anything less than medium rare at a minimum if you want it warmed. I also want to take a second to compliment the staff. We ordered a bottle of champagne to start with and two bottles of wine for dinner. The waitress gave a great recommendations for the champagne, and very unobtrusively kept us all topped up regardless of what we were drinking. She was also just very nice about everything, joking along with my parents "complaints" about the beef being cooked too much, etc. Definitely one to consider if you're in the Kings Cross area and need a place to eat. read more

Very nicely decorated and quite trendy given it's still-in-the-process-of-being-gentrified' surroundings, The Fellow is a welcome addition to the Kings Cross area. It has more of a style bar feel with a large spacious main room and cocktail bar. The (Wednesday) night I went was exceptionally busy after the local offices empty into it but it still felt reasonably relaxed and the staff that wait on the tables for food were attentive and on the ball, though perhaps slightly run off their feet due to the demand. I had a really nice evening in here, the menu is quite varied and changes (check their website for it). the food was excellent but it's a bit more than your standard pub prices (nearer £15 for a main) so that's hopefully to be expected! Their pints of Guinness were also perfectly cold and smooth. A pretty reliable choice, good for a slightly more formal dining experience or a date perhaps? Would've rated it higher if the food was slightly cheaper. With so many style bars like this around it's sometimes hard to differentiate between them and whilst it was great I couldn't say it was exceptional or especially unique. read more

Yeah that's the way. Give me a good looking 2nd floor bar, old wooden floors, barkeepers that know what they are doing and a decent Whiskey and I tell you, you just checked in at "The Fellow". Love the athmosphere, even the music could have been louder, because I felt like dancing, and with the ambient sound, I easily make myself look like a fool. So next time, turn the volume up and I rate you 5 stars! read more

Great drinks, great food and great staff. Brilliant pub. I first went there after the jubilee and stayed to play boardgames until late! Great atmosphere and great staff. Although I live South of the river, I chose to hold my birthday party here due to the easy access afforded to all by St Pancras & King's Cross lines. I hired out the upstairs which has its own bar and came with exclusive access to the outside terrace; ideal for keeping the party mood going as your smoking friends aren't forced to traipse outside to street level and be separated from the party. The food they provided was excellent too. Not your typical shop boughr cocktail socks, they provide several options to choose from that were prepared fresh that day by their chef. They even provide a DJ based on your musical tastes; they somehow managed to find a DJ that covered music from Disco, Pop, Dubstep, Indie, Bashment, to Reggae and cover all those areas well! So much effort is put in by the staff that should you need a venue for celebrations, I'd definitely recommend it (if you hadn't gathered by now!). read more

A pub in Kings Cross, just round the corner from the station, part of the way down York Way. Its a nicely made up pub and for a Sunday afternoon it's a pleasant space to pass the time, being the first of my group to arrive I checked the place out while looking for a place to sit, the upstairs bar was closed but I did find the nice roof terrace. A little cold though so I went back downstairs. The place was busy and most of the tables were full so i grabbed a small table and a half and settled in. Luck would have it, the large group next to me finished and left just as more of my group arrived, my table was added to the two existing ones and we had our space. Roasts were ordered but it being a little late, the beef had run out. I didn't order having had lunch only a short time ago but others did, chicken, pork belly and burgers. The food looked good, but possibly could have done with a little more love, the yorkshire puddings could have used a bit of gravy and the food was possibly a little overdone. However, they ate everything and all seemed well, a couple more rounds and a pleasant Sunday was passed. read more

I used to go out in Kings Cross cross years back before the powers that be knocked down all the great clubs and it was rough around the edges but always reliable for a great night out! I was last Sunday lured back to the area for my friend's night Music Mule which was a live music and dj night in a gorgeous bar called Black Door above The Fellow pub. It has a great little roof terrace for the smokers, retro interior and is open until late (well until they kicked us out!). I didn't try the food but they were serving what looked like very tasty roasts so will have to come back for an afternoon session soon. A real hidden gem! read more

A little bit of East Village in London. .... Firstly thx to all yelpers who's reviews introduced me to the Fellow. What a cracking place; great vibe, nice & on point decor, good food & great staff. I was here at 8pm on a Weds evening whilst down for business meetings. Place was busy with a mix of after workers and tourists. Rather than go for a starter and main I plumbed for a selection of starters..... onion soup, pigeon breast and finally scallops in crispy ham. ... Each were outstanding. All of this with 1tr of water and a Belvedere & diet came to £26.00 Inc service charge. I will be back again. read more

Quick glance: + hidden gem away from tourist traps and noisy bars + great food and wine + really accommodating staff + good for catching up with friends After failing to secure a table for four for dinner at a nearby tapas place on a busy Friday night, we wandered around until we came across The Fellow. It was also very busy in the Fellow, with the venue split on the left side as a restaurant and the right side more as a bar. We asked for a table for four and despite a couple of empty tables we were turned down since they were reserved for the evening. Nevertheless, the staff was very helpful and said he could clear us an area in about half an hour in the bar area, and true to his words we were seated in half an hour. The food was good and so was the wine. It's crowded but not too noisy to catch up as a group of four. read more

We rolled in with a group of 11 people, looking for a night cab after dinner. Downstairs was crowded and no table was available so we almost left. Luckily my colleague discovered their upstairs bar and I highly recommend going there if you are in that area. The upstairs bar is dark and comfy and they prepare really good drinks. I went for the "Sloe Gin Sour" for 7,50 and it was fantastic. Just what I needed (I actually didnt know what I needed until I took the first sip, yumm)! To be honest I got a little scared when I saw the bartender putting raw egg white in the drink, but it blended in just fine. Not to sweet, not to sour, not to strong, just perfect! They also have a really cute terrace for the quick nicotine fix. Nice detail: They were serving Glühwein that night and when we entered the Fellow, it smelled like cinnamon and christmas. HO HO HO. read more

This place contradicted the stereotypes of bad British food and service. I got the asparagus tart (so good!) and chicken supreme (also perfect). The waitress was almost overly attentive and a little awkward, but service was generally solid. read more

Zero stars. I wish I could love this place, but I cannot. Their service is deplorable (even by British standards), and my experience tonight sealed the deal. I will never be spending money at this place again. The specific situation that is making me drive our group (monthly meetings, several dozen of us, lots of money) away from this place was the attitude from the bartender this evening. Their credit card machine couldn't process my credit card, so he became belligerent and started talking to me like this was my fault. My card is fine. Now that I'm home and checking my credit card status, it is confirmed that this is not my fault. I have plenty of money available on my card, and they treated me like a criminal because their people couldn't figure out how to use a simple machine. If this bar is going to continue to employ people who can't operate credit card machines or speak English at a passable level, we will never be back. I'd be happy to speak with the owner and retract all of this if they demonstrate some simple manners, but I thought it is responsible to post this to keep anyone else from being screwed in the meantime. Don't open a tab. Don't eat the food. Don't trust the guys behind the bar. Pay cash. Expect to be screwed. read more

Although I have been here many times in the past, and enjoyed the food/atmosphere before, I found the meal this time around for the entire table... lacking. The staff were perfectly friendly, although getting us drinks were not at the top of the priority list, but it was the food I was surprised at this time. The duck was overcooked and was sadly lonely on its massive plate. An order of a side dish seems to be required for this one but none of us were told. I did want a dessert, but when a member of the party announced they saw one of the cooks carrying in their hands (from downstairs into the kitchen on the ground floor) one of the options to be reheated I decided against it. The sad part was that after we left everyone decided to go to tesco down the street to buy a pizza and make at home as we were all still very hungry. read more

Bit of a challenge to find a decent pub in King's Cross, to me it's a passing through place. Tonight, I'm stuck in a local Travelodge for an evening. Plenty of faceless, corporate places but a wee walk uncovers this gem. Lively but with quiet corners for the lone, book reading patron. So what makes it worthy of a review? A friendly word from the barman, a well lit corner for reading, an outstanding Sauvignon, and killer reggae sounds at just the right volume to accompany Viv Albertine's Clothes, Music, Boys. Oh, and while we are at this reviewing malarkey, go read this book. read more

The Fellow - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Perfect for meeting friends with trains to catch! You actually forget that you are this close to a major ]station, but by the same token the Fellow doesn't really feel like a pub anymore either. I went here for a lovely girlie lunch with champagne and delicious food. read more

This is a review to alert you that, yes, there is a small rooftop patio near King's Cross. It is smallish and walled in, so be aware of that, but still a good spot for catching some fresh air. Oh, and they did NOT have any Doom on hand when I went, sadly. read more

Quite a chilled bar, the roof terrace was packed when we went - it is on the small side - so we couldn't enjoy the use of that unfortunately. Sad face. The use of space inside is good, plenty of seating and the air con was thoroughly welcome considering how melt the weather is being. Drink prices were great, food was on the more expensive side, though I didn't have any so can't comment on whether the price was substantiated by supreme flavour. Super close to the tube, so it's handy if you're popping in for a quick drink or meeting and need to jet off after. read more

I wanted to be impressed with this pub, as it's not easy to find a decent pub around here. But The Fellow fell short for me. There's only one ale on tap which doesn't bode well (Youngs, which isn't the most inspiring). But, it's not an ale pub. The decor is nice, but the staff could do with cheering up a bit. In fact, I don't think other than taking my money, they said a single thing. There was a couple of points when no one was even upstairs in the bar so getting served was a bit of a pain sometimes. It's more annoying because I liked the pub itself. And they've got a very cute little smoking area outside. The wine is good and at £2.85 for a small glass I was impressed with the price. But I wasn't impressed with the barman mishearing me when I asked for a small glass, opening a new bottle (screw cap) and then tightly putting the top back on the bottle and putting it back in the fridge. If I bought a bottle of wine, I'd expect it to be fresh. Sure, the wine might last a day if it's sold be the glass, but my guess is that they're going to palm the open bottle off to the first person they can. read more

A great gastro-pub seconds away from St. Pancras Station. During the World Cup they had a room full of massive comfy chairs and a projector that you could book seats in to watch the game totally free of charge! There is a small roof terrace tucked away that you can eat, smoke and drink out on when it's sunny and I've only had one bad experience there when for some reason all four steaks came out well done and cold when we'd asked for medium rare (and hot obviously!) read more

A year or so ago, I might have given this place another star. To find a decent pub you felt comfortable just hanging out in near Kings Cross was not easy! Now things are changing, particularly with the St Pancras International terminal near by. The pub has a decent open, wooden-floored interior and largish windows again adding to the openness. The beer choice is Ok but not exciting. The menu looked fine, though I only had the beer! My only complaint was the paucity of serving staff. As the place filled up, one loan person was left behind the bar and we had a long wait for the all important second pint. read more

Oak tables, comfortable seating, great food and attentive staff. Plus wifi, and right around the corner from Kings Cross. Only a slight vegetarian selection, but it was delicious. There is a tucked away area in the back that is good for groups. I first walked down to the Lincoln Lounge, but came back to The Fellow because it was more what I was looking for. Serving Lunch and Dinner, with a break between. Drinks anytime. The wifi router must be in the back, because the signal level was weak but serviceable. read more

Fantastic bar/gastro pub in Kings Cross, with the real hidden delight being the roof top terrace! Be sure to head up there in summer, and there are covers and heaters to keep the winter elements at bay. Lovely menu with food above the usual pub grub fare, but with prices to match. £12-15 a main, but justifies the price tag. Had food envy when the cod and chorizo arrived, but my parmesan chicken with chickpea and potato's went down well. Will definitely be back! read more

This is my local pub, and I don't think I could ask for a better one. It has everything a pub should need. Comfy seating, good food and drink, newspapers, board games, wifi, and a fortnightly pub quiz. You can quite easily lose your Sunday afternoons in this place. Oh and I owe them thanks, last time I was there they were kind enough to ID me - I'll take that compliment if it's going for free thank you very much! read more

My friends and I have tried a number of spots around King's Cross station to meet for some drinks or occasionally dinner and until recently have had little or no luck. If we ended up in St. Pancras, there wasn't a dark pub option, or anywhere to hang out when arriving or departing the station. Now, all of that has changed with The Fellow. We began our evening in the second floor cocktail area, which has a unique bar menu of its own, including quail eggs. And the bartender made a mean mojito. Moving downstairs for dinner, we were offered a seasonal menu, which apparently changes weekly, but not so much that you can't locate your favourites. I went with the steak tartare which was served with a lovely aioli and was worth scraping the plate for. The other guests had shrimps on toast and were both pleased with the size of the portions and the crunchiness of the toast. For mains, I got the benefit of the other's food envy with an amazing and surprising pork belly dish. It was scrumptious large piece, crunchy crackling and a lovely sweet pepper purée. Interesting combo of flavours and just perfectly cooked. I can't even recall what the others had, as we were all a bit obsessed with the pork belly. After cocktails and two courses we were too full for dessert, but I definitely plan on returning and trying out the rest of their menu (and their cocktails). read more

For sometime its been hard to find a decent pub around kings cross but this one has become a favourite little gem. There's plenty of space and nice big wooden table for groups of friends and even a sweet walled garden, there is also a room you can hire for private cocktail parties. The gastropub menu is very good and there is an exrensive wine list. A very laid back atmosphere too Means you could sit here and drink away the hours quite easily.The only negative was the service is a tad slow. read more

The Fellow is a rum old thing. Situated neatly en route to the tube from my office, I've stopped in a few times with colleagues. I don't think I've ever really enjoyed it. Either one of the waitresses (dressed as Heidi for some inexplicable reason) tells us to move off the table, cos it is booked. Or it is far too full to get a table at all. Or a combination of the two. I think it wants to be a restaurant rather than a pub, but most of the clientel (spelling?) just want a drink, I've heard mixed things about the food, I can't say I have tried it. Essentially The Fellow isn't very welcoming, I've no idea why, I'm house trained and I've got smashing hair. Still, it gets two stars as it is better than the Driver around the corner, oh lord don't get me started on the Driver... dammit, I'm going to have to write a review about the Driver now. read more

Drinks only: Good service, good selection and decent prices for London. Definitely a good place to have a few drinks before catching a train just across the road. Food menu looked very good but didn't try it personally. Food isn't served all day so if you're after a quick bite some of the fast food restaurants next door might be easier. read more

Lovely interior and great staff, but I paid 9 or 10 quid for a veggie breakfast that I could have had for a third of the price in a greasy spoon. Very basic and lacking in any flavor apart from grease. I ordered it without mushrooms due to an allergy and didn't notice any extra anything to compensate. I know it's not their fault but is a common and welcomed gesture in most places. Despite this the place had a lovely atmosphere, with a fresh decor and really attentive staff. They reserved a really nice space for us (we heard it gets really busy on weekends so booked weeks in advance, bit of an overreaction). We arrived for an early lunch but it was starting to get pretty packed when we left around 2.30. Would definitely go back for a drink some time. read more

Ouch! Just been charged £24 for three drinks - two large wines and a pint of cider. Will be thinking twice before I come here again.

I'm rarely moved to review places online but I was so shocked by the rude and obstructive staff here I feel the need to warn others off. We had a fairly tasty lunch, pricey but about par for the area, but the acoustics were awful and we could barely hold a conversation. Service was included in the bill, probably because the uninterested staff wouldn't get a tip otherwise - plates were just slapped down in front of us and we barely got more than a curt nod. It's set out more as a dining hall than a pub, not the sort of place you can just go for a drink. The main reason for our visit was to check out the cocktail bar which I was considering hiring for my 30th birthday party. We arrived about 1.40 and the restaurant was busy though not full, but the waiter rudely declared he was too busy to let us see the room, even though we made it clear we just wanted to pop our heads round the door. Fair enough, I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt as I know how stressful working in a restaurant can be, so I suggested we eat lunch and he could show us afterwards, to which he agreed. However, after we had eaten the waiter said he had to ask the manager, who informed us that the room was booked from 2-7 and as the guests were up there decorating she couldn't let us see it. I explained that we had arrived before 2 and I can't imagine who would object to letting someone look at the room for 20 seconds when they were only decorating it, but she refused to even go and ask and was totally unapologetic about the situation. It really was such a simple request, I'm not the sort of person to make a fuss but I was shocked at the attitude of the staff and I feel we were cheated out of the money we paid for the lunch. I wouldn't return there for even a drink, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Had lunch here on 24.10.14. Its handy if you are staying at the premier inn over the road. We arrived just after they opened at 12.00. Glad to see they had Doom on hand pulled so me and my colleague both went for a pint of that. Pulled without a sparkler so not as creamy as it would be in a northern pub but bless the southern softies they know no better. Anyhow collapsing head or not the doom was good and we decided to have a bit of lunch. Its a gastro type set up so a daily printed menu consisting of all home made dishes. We both decided on gammon steaks double egg and homemade chips. It was very good, gammon cooked perfectly on the griddle. Two good runny yoke eggs and a mountain of homemade chips. Price wise it was more than reasonable for where we were 50 quid including 3 pints each. Lost a star for sitting us at a table next to the cleaning station when we were first ones in the place. I would however return here next time I'm in the area. read more
