Reviews The Crown And Two Chairmen

I visited this place aa a part of my pub crawling mission. The staff is really helpful and courteous. I loved their smoked chicken avacado sandwich

On my way from Oxford Circus last weekend to Sunday lunch at the Crown and Two Chairmen pub on Dean Street, I passed a fairly lengthy queue of folks bundled up and waiting to get a table at the Soho outpost of The Breakfast Club. With minutes of taking my seat upstairs at the Crown and perusing its rather choice selection of beer and thinking about what I wanted to eat, I already was feeling so much more savvy (and smugly so to be honest) than the curbside clubbers I’d passed moments ago – most of whom were still probably standing outside on the pavement).

This post isn’t to slam The Breakfast Club. It’s a fine establishment with a quirky vibe and an all rounder menu (I can certainly understand its success and appeal – and have never had a bad time at any of its outlets). But, c’mon. You’re in the middle of Soho and lined up for that when there’s plenty more options to dig into?

My lunch at the Crown was ace, and I loved the upstairs dining space, which was all but empty at 1.30pm (things picked up considerably by 2.30 though with hardly a free seat in the house). Highlights? To begin with service was efficient and friendly, seating was comfy, and I got a kick out of spotting a couple of celebrities out the window walking down street (if making a reservation, ask for a table by the window looking down on Dean Street).

Food was tasty. Parsnip and honey soup with rye bread and butter (£5.25) proved an ideal winter warmer to commence with, while Southern fried chicken (a wing, a drum and super juicy thigh with fries, coleslaw and house pickle dip, £11) was an indulgent treat. A pint of Red Admiral went down like a dream with the chicken. Dessert was yummy too. My sticky toffee pudding (served with vanilla pod ice cream, £5.50) was probably the tastiest I’ve ever had. A bottle of Tiny Rebel’s Dirty Stop Out Smoked Oat Stout paired nicely with it.

The Crown is an easy venue to recommend for a leisurely Sunday afternoon taking easy in the pub and off the pavement.

Great!. Great pub, great food!

A great spot for Sunday roast in central London! The Sunday Roast is delicious and reasonably priced for the area. The service was excellent and quick. They are very conscious about allergens, and there is a vegan option, although I didn't try it, my friends said it was amazing. I am looking forward to going again.

The food here was hands down the best we had all week. The gravy was to die for but the Pie and sides didn't disappoint. Fish and chips were nothing short of great. What was disappointing was the way we were served. We saw staff serving and welcoming other customers but never came to our table. Had to stand up to get us served. Maybe that what is expected at this place but it certainly didn't feel like it.

Couldn't have been a bigger hit. Great ambiance great beer great food. Had a wonderful meal with my daughter and husband. Pie and mash was lovely, bangers and mash was so tasty and the fish and chips was amazing. Service was quite fast and pleasant. Would definitely go back.

Order at the bar and they bring the food to you. Awesome fish sandwich and good fries to complete the dish.

Wow i have NOTHING bad to say about the Crown & Two Chairmen. Amazing (affordable) food, great selection of beer/cocktails and amazing vibe! Can’t recommend them enough.
