The Blackfriar

This pub looks very small from the outside but there is plenty of room inside. I had a Rhubarb beer from their many beers on tap. I enjoyed the atmosphere the most, very genuine and very British. I would like to come back one day for food.

We enjoyed our first meal in London in this @nicholsonspubs hotel, The Blackfriar. The pub itself was built in 1875 where the Medieval friary previously existed. It references jolly monks throughout the interior in mosaics, and of course the black friar guarding the front of the pub itself. The food was everything I imagined British pub food to be, tasty and hearty comfort food. I had the steak and ale pie which had a golden crust and was filled with delicious piping hot steak filling. The vegetable accompaniments were cooked beautifully and very fresh. Our party also enjoyed sausages and mash, cheese and bacon burger, fish and chips with mushy peas and garlic butter schnitzel. Everything was very good. London is experiencing some very hot weather and the pub was definitely not designed for this so it was uncomfortably hot. We ended up taking our drinks outside to enjoy where it was much nicer temperature wise. If you are after a hearty meal with a lovely British pub atmosphere then I recommend The Blackfriar.

In busy London, this pub is like an oasis. Spirit of old times. I really appreciate the beer selection. And like a true Czech, I know good beer. And here the beer is really very good. I love lager, but the local Pale and Ale is top notch. You must go here😉
