We came to try BEEF WELLINGTON and it was unbelievable! Also, I would say here you can try the most delicious Fish and chips! Friendly staff, nice and calm atmosphere.

Beautiful Pub inside and out. Dog friendly, staff are great, coffee & wine were good. Will definitely be back to eat as the food on the menu looked really tasty and unlike the typical pub fare... Came back for food, wasn't disappointed at all. Great tasting food cooked perfectly.

The friendliest staff and the best food you will find in London. At lunchtime, The Oak Room upstairs is perfect for business meetings over delicious food. In the evenings, the atmosphere is livelier with a high-quality and varied menu, complemented by an excellent wine list and inspired cocktails. Try the signature steak and ale pie, fish and chips or lemon sole. Highly recommended.
