The Footman

Been here a few times now nice reliable pub always busy with upstairs dining area in a great Mayfair location. Bar food very good excellent chicken and steak sandwiches and chips good quality and generous helpings. Service friendly and efficient and proper linen napkins with good quality cutlery. Great value for money for this part of London.

We stopped into The Footman on the hope of getting a bite to eat after a long, rainy day of touring. We were graciously greeted and given two seats at the window. We ordered the cider-battered cod which was served with excellent chips, lightly minted peas, tartare sauce and a very nice curry sauce. The batter was crispy and the fish was delicious. Beer and wine rounded out our delicious meal.

The pub was busy on this Saturday afternoon and the atmosphere here was great, there was a convivial buzz around the place and a good mix of clientele. I managed to find a seat and took a pew at one of the low level tables. I sat between a middle aged couple and a young couple to my right. The young couple were on a date and exchanging pleasantries and sharing a bowl of chips, it was the sweetest thing. The staff here are first class, the lady who served me was welcoming and very engaging. All this superb ambiance was accented by the low level funk and soulful soundtrack. .
