I recently had the pleasure of dining at this local pub, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The highlight of the menu has to be the burgers and Sunday roasts; they were simply mouthwatering and exceeded my expectations.
The atmosphere in the pub was warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind with friends and family. The cozy ambiance, combined with the pleasant background music, created a relaxing and enjoyable dining environment.
What truly sets this pub apart, however, is the staff. The service was top-notch, and the staff members were not only attentive but also friendly and accommodating. Their knowledge of the menu and their willingness to offer recommendations made the dining experience even more delightful.
I can't recommend this local pub enough. Whether you're in the mood for a delicious burger, a traditional Sunday roast, or just a great time out, this place has it all. It's a gem in the neighborhood, and I look forward to returning for more exceptional meals and good times.

Saturdays here are incredible, impeccable service. The bartender Finn was amazing, he suggested some cocktails for my friends and I, everyone loved them. Definitely worth a visit.

Came here on a Saturday night - bit busy for my liking - but nonetheless they still gave me an exceptional pair of cocktails - a classic negroni and a house cocktail they call the “burnt pear old fashioned” - my partner is a seasoned old fashioned drinker and I can safely say this blew their socks off! Great recommendation by a bartender called Merlin. Didn’t order food but everything seemed in order- we stayed for the whole night and were suprised at the delightful variety throughout different floors of the pub over the course of the night! Will be coming back soon!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Hearty tasting and brilliantly presented roast. Had the Wellington, a must try!
Finished off with some warming desserts. Nice way to finish the week off, till next week!

Me and the girls had such a lovely Sunday roast here!! We didn’t plan ahead but luckily they take walk ins so we had a few cocktails then I had the lamb roast but they even had a vegan option for one of us. The staff were super welcoming and friendly, and the cocktails were just as good as the roast. I highly recommend the pigs in blankets they were luuuush

We went there for the Sunday Roast, where you can order all types of roast meat. I had the lamb, which was cut quite thinly, like roast beef. Lamb is much better with a thicker cut. But the Yorkshire pudding and gravy that came with it were excellent. Our table ordered two sides of cheesy cauliflower and pigs in a blanket (not what Americans would expect, I think the "blanket" was bacon). I loved the cauliflower, but didn't like the "pigs" though our British hosts devoured them. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. The room was quite noisy, and I couldn't hear well across the table. But overall a very good restaurant.

Went there because many ppl said that it has the best burger in london. I'll give the burger 4.5/5 , pretty decent. Aged meet and good sauce, but the portion was a bit small. I also tried the roast, which was average. The interior is quite old and interesting, the staff are nice and the drinks are good.

Great pub, good food and atmosphere. The Sunday roast was exceptional for this price point.

Really great venue. Downstairs, lively but airy bar, wonderful decor, we ate and drank, all of which was great. There to see the French dogs, we all agreed that the gig room upstairs was again a great venue. Go, eat, drink, see a band or play karaoke or beer pong, you deserve it.

Very nice place to be in for a night out! If you get to be there during the afternoon, the outside area is quite pleasant. If you go inside or the pub they also have a “outside inside” area which is also nice to hangout in.
The workers are average. They serve you as they would since its their job, but more “hello” and “thank you” would be nice. The bouncers have an overwhelming sense of self importance so maybe they could be a bit nice
Beer is great, nicely poured
Would definitely come back.
