Amazing new environment
Perfect place for a drink in Paddington especially to watch sport in the large sports room
Great beer! Great food ! Excellent service !!!
I have been there for lunch and the first impact was quite positive.
Good and relaxing pub ambience, very friendly staff and reasonably good selection of beers.
The food was quite average, But I was not expecting much from a pub.
I never miss a chance to have fish and chips when I'm visiting London! The bartenders/servers were great, very friendly! The food hit the spot!
One of those catchy pubs you find around London, this one was conveniently located close to the hotel we were staying at in Paddington. Everywhere you go, it's just fish and chips, and this joint bragged about their ultimate fish and chips. I thought it was enough convincing for me to go in and try it.
The pub was quite long and deep, so you'd find most of the people way inside where the bar really is. But if you wanted to just eat and have a bottle of beer, then it's best you stay up front. The menu was simple, really. My friend and I decided to go for the Ultimate Fish and Chips with Peas - not mushy, just peas out of their pods! -, Pulled Pork sandwich on white bread, Cheese and Ham toastie, and a couple of beers. The order was quick which was nice - we were hungry from all the touring around. We loved the sandwiches and thought the pulled pork was really, really tender and just flavorful. Proper pulled pork as you can tell it's soaked up most of the juices. We weren't much of a fan of the UFC, as we found it quite bland - not sure if they really cook their fish blandly for you to season, but I think a little pre-seasoning wouldn't hurt anyone. The serving size was good, though, as it came with 4 slices of toast - 2 whites, and 2 browns - with some nice Irish butter. The chips were nice and chunkily cut.
Overall, I thought they served some proper pub food, just not sure I would go back for their fish and chips. Maybe a burger next time.
The Dickens Tavern, close to Paddington railway station is a busy Greene King pub offering the expected range of cask and keg ales along with the usual food menu. A deep pub going a long way back from the street frontage, various stairs involved. Lots of happy people waiting for the football to be screened. A happy pub.
Took the train from bath to Paddington Station and had a few hours before I needed to go to the airport and stopped in here.
Literally directly across the street from the station. It was a perfect place to sit, have a drink and a bite to eat. Friendly pub with TVs and a pool table. Got to spend time watching rugby.
Lovely pub and very spacious, looks small from the outside but big inside, great background music.
Food was good price, fish and chips and mushy peas yummy, scampi and chips bit on the small size but was nice. Dessert for 2 to share was ok but very dry needed a bit of ice cream but wouldn’t order again.
Had a pleasant evening and would return.

We came to this pub because it was pretty close to the hotel we were staying at during our holidays in London. We got a great service from Kam who kindly explained to us the difference between mushy and garden peas. Not only were we satisfied with the excellent service Kam offered, but also with the food itself. We decided to come and have dinner here almost every day during our stay in London. Very recommendable! ☺️
This is a fairly standard Greene King pub. The staff are polite and friendly. Its long thin shape makes it difficult to picture large groups being easy to accommodate here. Being slightly off the the main road it's a little quieter than you might expect. I confess that I've not tried the food here but I have no reason to believe it deviates from the standard Greene King offerings.
Had a great visit at The Dickens Tavern. Kam was very knowledgeable about the beers on tap and made great recommendations on food and beer. Was a great experience for learning more about local things when travelling from outside the country.
A lovely pub with a true English vibe. I had the Steak & Ale pie, which was absolutely marvelous. An absolute must try.
It is self service, you have to walk up to the bar to place your order, but the staff at the bar is helpful
Kam, our server was amazing! Food was great! Large portion of fish and chips and who can complain with a great beer. 👍
