Best steak n pies we ever had, owner is passionate about his patrons, food n service, very friendly n welcoming. Highly recommended
Great choice for a traditional British pub. They have a great Friday special: free glass of procecco with fish & chips for £15 pounds (I believe that was the price). Pairs well together. Some of the best fish & chips over ever had as well. Perfectly buttered and not too oily. You can’t go wrong with the dispensary.
Some will say it's a little pricey for what is essentially posh pub food but the service is excellent as is the food and not too fancy. I had the fish and it was cooked beautifully and came with a free glass of prosecco! Happy days.
Fantastic! Food, service, drinks, atmosphere! Great for business and personal meetings!!
I love it here! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and well chosen menu and wine list. I have had several veggie options over the years and David, the owner/chef is always creative and accommodating , and Annie, co-owner/manager is friendly and helpful. Prices are fair for fresh food/local produce food with some flair.
Always a great experience - whether it is stopping by for a drink, grabbing a quick bite or having a nice meal. The staff is fun and friendly. There are great options in the space to have either a quiet discussion or a large crowd. Can't recommend it enough - it has become our neighbourhood favourite.
Good space.. an old dispensary for the poor of the east end that has been converted into a pub. Now a dispensary for the not so poor, supplying glasses of beer and other convivial alcohols. They do some very decent beers and thankfully I have seen none of the dreaded Doom Bar but I have, pleasingly, seen Dark Star and other such quality beers. It is a bit expensive perhaps...but you'll get a seat.
Friendly staff, great food and good choice of wines and beers
We pop in here for a long lunch during the week and it was great the food the cocktails and the staff were all amazing
Working in the City, I have been a regular at The Dispensary ever since David & Annie took it on 8 or so years ago.
I have recently started using it as my location of choice for family meals too. With a discerning wife, son and daughter along with partners we have spent several delightful evenings. The great thing is the range and quality of the food. The last visit some of us had the most delightful halibut, whilst the hungry young chaps had fully loaded burgers. My son commented that it was the best burger he had ever eaten.
Add to great food, some very good wines and great “ale” as I am assured the younger generation are now calling it…
For me The Dispensary is “Always a winner”.
It’s dog friendly pub just next to where we live. Food is great, best pub food in the 5 mile radius. Fresh ingredients and food cooked to order. Staffs are super friendly as well. A hidden gem.
