St. Stephen's Tavern

Visited early July. It was a decent restaurant to go to if you are around the Big Ben area. Decor is pretty cool and the restaurant was clean. Server was nice. Specialty beer selection was good; we thoroughly enjoyed our selections. We ordered chicken fingers and fish & chips. The chicken fingers were really good; The breading had cracked black pepper and some other seasonings that made it way better than your standard fried chicken finger. The fish & chips were sadly not good. Overall, we enjoyed our visit.

A little confused on how to place food order. Hostess said to order at the bar. I took ro mean drinks at bar. After 10 mins we grabbed the attention of a server to inquire on getting food ordered. She said order food & drinks from at the bar. Ohhhh. Ok. Ten mins later our dish was delivered. That was my fault for not hearing what hostess said. Other than that, drinks & food were on point. I recommend this spot. On the happening strip within eyeball of Big Ben.

This pub was on my London to-do list because Winston Churchill was a regular patron here. I’m happy to say that the atmosphere was great, the fish and chips was by far the best I had in London, and the cider on tap, Stowford, was the perfect mix of tart with a hint of sweetness. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and raising a glass to our old friend Mr. Churchill.
