Alas, those options were all but gone from the card and prices were fairly high, too. The food we had was fine. It just wasn't the pub fare and drinks I was hoping for. It seems like most of these types of places are going upscale and the cheesy synth-music didn't help to distract from the lack of food options. The server was very polite and the food came out quickly, which was great..

We were in the area looking for a "classic London pub". The Stanhope Arms was super close to our…read morehotel so we decided to pop in. As far as the aesthetic and vibes, it definitely met expectations! It's been around since the 1800's and has a beautiful bar (see photo). The food and drink options are classic English staples- we all ordered fish n chips and sticky toffee pudding. I'm no English-food expert, but I can say both dishes were pretty mid. The fish was huge, but not crispy... chips were perfectly fried- peas were, well, peas (lol)! But the service was friendly and the whole experience was a good one! Would I come back? Probably not- but I'm still happy that this was my first English pub/food experience in London!

The location was perfect for us, opposite of the Gloucester Road underground station and in walking distance of our hotel. Also, I like that you can reserve a table, and that they are open late if you are looking for a late night drink. We stopped in late one evening and really enjoyed the crowd and meeting all sorts of people. At this pub, I was introduced to the non-alcoholic Guinness which is my favorite NA beers to this day!!!!

Service was…read morequick and efficient, drinks were delivered promptly, and food came out quickly and hot as well. The atmosphere is relaxed, but there was a bit of competition for tables around 6pm, with some less than courteous guests grabbing a table when others were waiting first without checking in with the server on staff. If there are plenty of tables, it may not be an issue to simply take a seat, however, if tables are in short supply- best to check and make sure no one else is waiting first before grabbing the next available table. Otherwise it's a lovely atmosphere and a relaxed setting for an evening meal or gathering with company.

Service: friendly and professional, accommodating and used to tourist crowds. They are very patient and take the time to explain if you have any questions. Ambiance: cute and convenient.

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

Their afternoon tea menu has different themes- this time, it was around the world. Featuring items from different countries. Favorite: the sandwiches are excellent, one of the best: smoked salmon, pesto with sun dried tomatoes, and caramelized onion with hummus. All the flavors worked perfectly. The dessert was a miss- except for the tiramisu, although it could use more coffee to keep the lady fingers moist. Scones are pretty big in size- dense but still tasty. Great selection of tea varietals. You get to chose 2 teas per afternoon tea order. And the tea pots are huge- so definitely worth the money.

(I heard the non GF version was also excellent.) Platter came with flavorful mushy peas, tartar sauce, and a spicy mayo (or currry for the non GF platter). Chips were large and delicious. Portion was huge, and easily shareable. Delicious!! Service: It was ok. We waited in line for a really long time (more than an hour) but we were checked on from time to time. Once we were seated and ordered, no one really checked in, but we asked if we needed something. Ambiance: Cute outdoor seating. In door seating was okay. Reservations get to go into a back room which seemed nicer. Lovely side street in a crazy busy popular area. It's a solid 4.5 stars for what it is because the food was so good. I'd return. Tip: Make a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, or be prepared to wait...a long time...Or, skip the line to order takeaway and go enjoy your food!

It was a little rare for my liking but I still ate a third of it (typical I rarely eat a whole burger). When we went to pay our bill they had removed the burger because they saw I didn't eat it all. I didn't ask and honestly wanted to pay for it but they wouldn't let me. This is going above and beyond and if we have time on this trip, we'll be back! FYI my husband had the sausage and mash and said it was fantastic - the pork crackling being his favorite thing on the plate.
