We had a lot of fun. Some of the service was slow or at times forgotten but with how busy it was and first week reopening it was great

On game days it would get so extra noise from people and tv speakers is to be expected

This had to be one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in London. To be fair, I’ve only had about 10 in my 3 years here BUT definitely one to remember and recommend. Booking is necessary, and understandable. Top notch beef roast, friendly service, and cozy environment. Will be returning.

Disappointed with the lack of COVID 19 measures in place, only one staff member was wearing gloves and a mask, this was the person collecting glasses. Our food and drinks were providing by someone who had no PPE and was freely handling glasses and cutlery. Also on arrival our table was occupied and when it was vacated no cleaning took place. Overall very disappointed with the approach compared to some of the neighboring pubs and won't be returning in the near future to what used to be a regular haunt.

First table we were sat at was right in the path of staff and other guest moving through, very busy & cramped. One of our party had her chair continually knocked into, but after a chat with the staff and a short wait we were moved to a side table which was great. It’s clearly a very popular place , with a great atmosphere

Great service and food for the most part was good. The Camembert bowl starter was delicious and mains had included were the fish and chips which was hearty and delicious. Husband enjoyed the duck and my vegan in law was happy with selection. The cannelloni however was over baked and therefore dried out. So overall a good experience spoilt only by the cannelloni. Our waitress was lovely - a true asset.
