    French toast with blueberries and bacon for Princess Wizard.
    Julie K.

    This review is long overdue. We came here in September 1 (along with 7.9 million other witches and wizards) and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. So glad that I made a reservation in advance. Attentive service and a very polite waitress made court time at the Parcel Yard quite memorable. I highly recommend the French toast with blueberries but the bacon was rather hard and inedible. (Clean bathroom ... I do appreciate that!)

    Okay, this is a classic railway station pub, namely because it is actually located inside of the railway station (which is something that doesn't seem to be a thing in Australia, but then again our railway stations are nowhere near the size of the termini stations in London). Honestly, I wasn't all that thrilled with the place, particularly the service, namely because the bartender didn't seem to believe me that I knew what to expect from the beer that I was ordering. Actually, I wouldn't even go as far as suggesting that this is a good place to grab a beer while waiting for the train, though from what I remember it can be a little bit of a hike to the closest other one.

    The tomato soup was one of the best I've had. Very delicious along with toast. My husband ordered the chicken Schnitzer with mashed potatoes which I tried as well it was also very good. Prices were affordable and service was great. I would come again for sure.

    Very roomy pub located in the back of Kings Cross train station. Unless you know where it is located, it is very easy to miss. It is pretty large with a nice atrium in the center. It is a nice place get pint before or after a train trip. Did not try the food but the plates going by me looked pretty good.

    Stopped by The Parcel Yard to grab dinner and drinks while out in Kings Cross. Beer selection was good, they had some higher gravity options which I was a fan of. For food we both ordered the Frontier-battered cod aka fish and chips and enjoyed it. Great spot!

    Hidden away in the corner of Kings Cross Station is a Fullers Pub. It looks like a small generic station bar from the outside, but climb the stairs (or take the lift) and what opens before you is a craft beer bar of note. It's reasonably priced and has a fair amount of room. The selection of beers is pretty good. On this occasion, I was only getting a quick drink but the selection of foods being served also looked excellent.

    Great beer selection and the food was pretty awesome as well. Paid a little more since we were I. Kong's cross but it was fun watching the trains come in and out! We had a few rounds then ordered some food. My hubby opted for the burger (which was strange! I thought he'd go for the fish and chips again!) I got chicken schnitzel and it was soooo good!! We enjoyed our dinner and cocktails very much.

    I was astonished by The Parcel Yard! Tucked away in the corner of Kings Cross station this pub is deceptive, inside it has 2 huge floors, loads of seating and a great selection of ales. What was most surprising is how comfortably quiet and reasonably priced it is for a station! The staff were fantastic, we sat upstairs and when they saw me head for the downstairs bar, which has the larger selection of beer, they offered to have my order sent up for me! I didn't eat here but I will next time I need a bite at Kings Cross station. They'll have a hard job beating Honest Burger which is just around the corner... But the staff and ale selection might just make up for it.

    A really happening spot! Although I ended up having to interrupt a servers trot to get seated, once we were accommodated all was well. It was nice to finally sit down and enjoy our last English meal before we traveled on to our next destination. Had a great experience and that was all by chance I suppose; you see we were just at kings cross station to jump through platform 9 3/4 & check out the Harry Potter shop, but we needed to get some fish & chips as our last meal in London. So I searched for the closest Fish & Chips to us & thus The Parcel Yard popped up! Really, get the Battered Cod & Chips! It's HUGE

    Okay,, a pint of bitter and a delicious shortcrust beef pie (with braised cabbagge) in a train station for a reasonable price... you really have to be impressed.

    Large joint, with a few rooms to choose from. Good food. Sparse service. Probably one of the better places to eat in the area.

Came here for pre-theater anniversary dinner with my wife. The ambiance was somewhere between that of a trendy club and nice bar. There was a mad scientist vibe with the lights being industrial vibe and some metal decor. The music was thumpy and loud enough to remind you it was there. It made me feel a bit out-of-place as somebody well past my 20s, but also a bit cool or being there. You really come here for the drinks. We got the pipe dream, smokey old fashioned, honeypot picante, and one other I can't remember the name of, but which came in a flower pot. The pipe dream and smokey old fashioned were likely the best. Overall the drinks were more visually appealing than traditionally good and the visually appealing ones tended to have ingredients that weren't as top shelf and/or they were just too sweet. Not bad, but disappointing for what we'd hope. The food was the opposite. I had low expectations and the food wasn't amazing, but was better than average. We got the bao buns, crispy duck pancakes, panko halloumi, katsu curry, and hot honey pork tacos. They arranged for it all to come out in time for us to make our theater show, which was nice. The bao buns and pork tacos were probably the best. Neither blew me away, but both were solid. The katsu curry and halloumi were standard of what you might expect. The crispy duck pancakes was maybe as advertised, but it would have been nice to have some moistness or substance to the dug vs. it basically being crunchy salty bits of something. Overall, this wasn't a bad meal, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for either. We may be back, but we'll probably try other things first.

Whilst it's not the most posh place I've been, it usually gets the job done well. Drinks are how you would find at most pubs, and service is decent too, given how a waitress came to ask us what we wanted and served us amidst a busy rugby game (at other times, we had gone to the bar to order ourselves). There are quite a few tv screens as well as a big home theatre-like one too, which always adds to your sports watching experience. I've never had food here before but would like to try sometime. I hear that their wings are good. Be sure to bring an ID -- as its part of a casino facility, they check your ID even if you're here only for the bar and not for gambling.

Oddly, to open a tab, you have to give them both your credit/debit card AND your driver's license/passport/ID card. They give you a "badge" which you then show every time you order, apparently so they know which tab to bill it to. A bit weird to me, but maybe that's the norm in London, or at least in high-tourist bars in London. Also, they won't let men inside if you are wearing a hat-- you must remove the hat to enter. Fortunately, once inside, I put my hat back on and didn't have a problem with anyone saying anything. Glad my hat hair didn't have to be on display!

We were respectful and nonpolitical, she assumed from our ethnic backgrounds and treated us accordingly. She verbatim said she will not serve our kind. Then proceeded to tell all her bar tenders to no longer serve us. Regrettably we had to get our drinks upstairs. She went out of her way to stare at us from the top, making my mother uncomfortable. If you want a pub without employees making every thing political, this is not the spot. We do not even entertain politics, she just put us in a basket.

It was the second pub I visited on my visit to London, and again, I can't wait to go back. First, the prices: in America, two drinks would have cost at least $20; here, two drinks were only £11. I would've spent the whole night there if I could, but when you're traveling and have places to be early the next day, it's hard. Second, the service and ambiance were great. They serve the drinks very quickly, and of course, they know how to pour a pint of Guinness.
