Great pub in heart of London. Got the Sunday roast and it was good. Mario was a fantastic server. Did some great magic tricks and spending time with us. If we ever come back, it would be for him! Atmosphere is traditional pub as well. It’s a smaller pub so has a more infinite atmosphere as well.

Great atmosphere! An unique place to have a good taste of London with British food and nice beers and cocktails. You feel transported to the old times.
Mario, our waiter-magician, performed unbelievable tricks in front of our eyes that we are still trying to figure out. How the hell he does them?? It must be real magic!

Good food, and the beer was also very nice. On the top of it, Mario, one of the waiters, did some magic tricks and honestly, he was so professional. I can really recommend this pub.

Sunday roast beef was a little bit tough
But Beers and Fish and chips were great !
All the staffs are really kind and nice.
I really like this place.
My last dinner in London here was great!
After the dinner, I walked the roads to BigBen and Westminster through amazing night view!

If the food and decor of the place wasn’t great enough, the unexpected magic tricks from Mario really made our visit! Thanks for the fun and a great atmosphere!

Marius was absolutely amazing. He was serving at the bar, recommended a great beer, then a great cocktail. The key was the magic. He performed some mind blowing card tricks at the bar with us, it was extremely entertaining and very funny. A great mix of magic and comedy. Highly recommend

26hrs of travelling from Sydney and this was our first lunch stop just off Trafalgar Sq. Did not disappoint! Both Jackson and Diana made us feel so welcome and were great. Food was traditional English and outstanding.

A must in London. My husband and I arrived on our first day in the city and wanted to grab a late lunch in a “London style” pub. Our waiter “Magic Marius” was so friendly and inviting along with all the other staff. He noticed me taking pictures of their beautiful bar and was kind enough to let my husband and I go behind the bar and offered to take pictures of us! He might even show you some magic tricks if you are lucky! Overall, great pub food and atmosphere! I highly recommend to anyone visiting in the area!

Very attentive staff. Good food. I had the roast beef which was very good. My daughter had the roast chicken which was also very good. My girls were entertained by a staff who did bits of magic tricks for them. Definitely recommended for their Sunday roast.
