I strolled in sans reservation on a Saturday night and luckily was able to be seated (perks of traveling solo?) however recommend making a reservation as the place is quite small in size. Service was friendly and attentive. The staff seems to work together to ensure costumer satisfaction. For beverages, there is a list of speciality or classic cocktails, some beers, limited wines by the glass, and a more extensive wines by the bottle list. I was delighted with my gin based cocktail from their speciality menu. Not sure if this is a London thing or just in my case but water was free... the still seems to be tap as many tables had metal refillable carafes. I chose sparking and was pleasantly surprised when the bill came and I was not charged. The plating of food is beautifully presented. I order the Market fish entree. The one star down is due to the fact I was told it was halibut today as they had a few more before they switched to serving salmon. Once my order came out it was indeed salmon, would have been nice to give me notice in case I wanted to change my order based on the unavailability. Worthy of mention is the automatically added 12% gratuity to your bill as the menu does not disclose this.

There were six in our party and we arrived at the Swan without a reservation. Fortunately, we were…read moreseated right away. We had a wonderful table in the back of the restaurant with ample room for all of us. Their menu is standard British fare. And, four of the six of us had their fish and chips. Amazing - best I have ever had. The fish portion is enormous, they are generous with the chips (French fries), and mashed peas. The peas needed salt, but everything else was fine as they served it. (We had fish and chips a few more times at other restaurants - this was the best.) Service was excellent, too.

Wife had the 23 GBR sea bass which was decent but a very small portion perhaps 4 oz, I had the 20 GBR fish and chips which came with mushy peas. The fish was fantastic at least 8 oz fresh and moist with plenty of flavor. The chips were only so-so, and not up to McDonalds quality. Loved the 9 GBR sticky toffee pudding which came with a dab of vanilla ice cream. When I went upstairs to use the bathroom and found out the place had great views of next door across the street Hyde Park. Three stars for sitting downstairs but would have been four stars if they had seated me in the packed upstairs.

IMO as classic a looking pub as you can get, very warm, leather barstools, roaring fireplace adjacent to dark wooden tables. An array of taps from classics to ciders. A busy barman filling drinks for the restaurant on the other side of the pub, walled off and its own entrance. A few pints, and like so much of the UK, Guinness 0 or other NA are just widely available and not considered as a rarity like it feels in US

Another in our group ordered the fish and chips, and it was spot-on: perfectly crisp with amazing flavor.

After a week long trip in London, there was only 1 thing more that we had to do that we hadn't…read moreyet... GET FISH AND CHIPS. We searched everywhere on Yelp to see if we could find somewhere that had some good Pescatarian goodness. Luckily we found that the Duchy Arms was only a mile away. We decided to hike over there and got there at about 5:45, we were dismayed when we found that they were not serving food for another 15 minutes so you know what we did? We drank! They had some great deals and we were able throw down a bit before they were ready to indulge us. I had the Haddock Fish and Chips and it was BANGING. The fish was crunchy but juicy and the chips were crispy. The tartar sauce was very good as well. Definitely would come back to this spot again to try if I am back in London.

I've visited The Champion a few times, and feel comfortable reviewing it. Located on a corner where…read moreBayswater road transmogrifies into Notting Hill Gate, it is the sort of classic pub that Britain is famous for (though they are closing at a rate of 10,000/year, so who knows how long that shall be the case). It has classic dark wood ambience inside, and a small patio out the back of the basement (apparently Queen's lead singer used to be a regular, so this is named the Mercury Bar) Food is ok. Maybe 1 cut below top-tier pub food. Scotch egg was a tad runny, and served with Oxford sauce that is more sour and less good than the HP Brown Sauce it replaces. Lamb Sunday Roast was a bit tough, and came with a paltry 4 roast potato segments of diminutive size. Service is excellent; consistently friendly and helpful. They are eager to fix things when matters go awry. The pub was recently closed for renovations, which seems mainly to have been making a new, larger Gents in the basement, and turning the old Gents' into a 2nd Ladies' room on the staircase. Fellow patrons seem to come more for drinks than food. I like this place, and I'll be back.

This was a decent pub we all had dinner at in London on a Monday. Service is a little different in…read moreLondon. You typically order at the bar instead of a waitress coming to the table. One eventually came to our table after sitting awhile. I of course had to try the fish n chips. A couple of veggie burgers were ordered and a regular burger. Surprisingly happy hour was still on at 8 o'clock so drinks were ordered. The food all came at the same time and everything was cool. The fish had a nice flavor from the fried batter. To me it was similar to Long John Silvers as far as the batter is concerned, but slightly better quality overall. The fries were standard. The only thing horrible was the very bland mashed green peas. They should be omitted from every pub across the country, but I think it is a traditional item included with the fish. The cocktails were good as well as the price. The sticky toffee pudding was something else I was advised to try while in London. I must admit it was really delicious. It came with a scoop of ginger ice cream and a warm buttery toffee sauce to pour over. It was delightfully warm and sweet and paired well with the ice cream. The cake itself was moist enough on its own with notes of brown sugar and molasses. I could have had seconds and thirds of this desert. Yum! The majority of my party didn't think the food was fantastic. The burgers happened to be somewhat alright. This was a first for me having pub food and I would have more again as long as I stick to the basics.

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.
