This place was great. Service staff were accommodating. Asked if we had food allergies and allowed me to substitute. I ordered the 2 person pie plate which was plenty for me and my wife. The board had 4 small pies and they were very filling. I loved the steak pie. I ask ordered a vegetarian one and it tasted great. The meal came with variety of veggies like peas, roasted root veggies, roasted cabbage and potato’s as well as mashed potato’s.

My wife and I had Sunday Breakfast here in September 2024. It was a 15 minute walk from our AirBnB and so very worth it.The pub/inn has a traditional vibe in the interior with some modern twists. Kind of the best of both worlds. It was very cool. Staff were friendly and professional. We did not book reservations and were able to be seated right away.The food was excellent. The perfect way to start a busy Sunday in the city. I had an eggs benedict, my wife had a full english breakfast, with a pot of tea each. Portions were good - filling but not wasteful. Flavours were delicious.I’d say this is worth a trip out of your way to grab breakfast, of if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of the rooms, its an easy trip downstairs. Next time we’re in London I’d like to try lunch.

We decided to try the meat pies and ordered the mini versions—one with chicken and another with steak. They were about the size of a cupcake and had a good flavor, but they were a bit too salty for my liking. While they tasted decent, I probably wouldn’t order them again unless they toned down the salt.

This used to be one of my favorite pubs in the area but the food isn’t what it used to be. The steak and ale pie, although still listed on the menu, is no longer available. Instead I ordered the beef cottage pie which was 90% mashed potato with just a little bit of ground beef with some chopped veg on the side. Nice atmosphere but will not come back.

Stopped here for a quick pint and some food! Reasonable prices and the food was lovely! Would certainly come back. Seems like it would have a good atmosphere when it’s busier. I had the burger and it was decent, better than what you get at a green king etc!

Convenient to our hotel and perfect marriage of casual, upbeat ambiance, and decent food options. Great place to relax with food and a beer after touring all day. Comfortable spacing as well. Also nice after many London pubs being very small.

Really great place. Great room, great service, great food throughout our stay. They even put out breakfast early for us when we were checking out early. To the morning staff: We ended up having to leave too early for that breakfast - our apologies for the extra work you did for us!!!

This is for the restaurant, we ordered the pie sharing platter, for being a pie place I have to say there was no wow factor. Potatoes were just reheated carrots way overcooked and cabbage was a chunk with the middle piece that was uneatable. The pie themselves were pretty boring and not very filled.
