Not as warm table service as I recall in the past here, but unchanging 19th century decor. There’s a constant flow of tourists who want to see Wellingtons old officer mess, so this is a franchise. We’ve been coming for decades. Mostly for a couple of pints in a weekend afternoon or when heading out for a restaurant meal. Tonight we tried the meal service. It was meant to be a special evening for a 90 year family member who was excited to be visiting us in London. Despite there being three empty tables that would have been fine, we were crammed into a small table that was right next to the crowded bar. The waitress said she was saving the three tables for larger parties, so we dutifully agree...
Always wanted to visit a true pub with fish and chips. This place is a historic pub where soldiers gathered. Lost of history and even a haunted tale in the fireplace room. The beers were great but the food was wonderful. True fish and chips with mushy peas. I had tomato soup which was hearty and warming on a cold rainy day. The dessert was a toffee pudding with a caramel sauce. We got it to go and should have gotten a second one for breakfast. We were made welcome and will definitely go back.
We had 2 very nice lunches at this establishment and chose to sit outside. Great service from the waitresses and highly recommend the scallops and truffle fries. Just a shame about our initial greeting. Have you booked and then explained we tried but site wouldn 't accept. Said am happy to sit outside. The reply well you won 't get table service . So ordered our drinks and guess what you get very good table service outside. Thanks to the lovely waitresses
We had to go to eat elsewhere because “restaurant” doesn’t allow people with dogs inside. They say dogs are allowed in the bar area but it’s tiny, too crowded, and it is certainly not designed for a good dining experience. Shame in 2022 people still don’t like dogs enough to allow them inside. Ours was small and very well-behaved.

Terrible! Website let me book for 8.45. Paid for taxi to get there only to be informed the kitchen shut at 8. No apology, no complimentary drinks. Now too late to get food elsewhere. Not impressed. WOULDN’T RECOMMEND NOR RETURN. Wouldn’t let me upload proof of booking confirmation email
This pub is off the beaten track and thank goodness! It’s already a super busy pub because the atmosphere is amazing. The food is sensational. The Beef Wellington is the best I had ever had. Staff are extremely efficient and caring. I’d 100% recommend.
Great food! We ordered the burrata appetizer and the beef Wellington. Both were terrific. We also enjoyed the Pimm's and lemonade and the local IPA. The best thing about this place is the wonderful bartenders!! Cheers!
wonderful hidden gem! Great draft beers including Timothy Taylors Landlord plus an own brand Grenadier ale famous **** mary and delicious sausages
