Bag O' Nails in City of London, Westminster

Dived in here to escape the rain and we had a few drinks and a lite bite. The bar team were very pleasant, but the facilities are disgraceful. They were unclean and need a serious decoration.

We met up for a school reunion and chose this venue as they didn't have a restriction on the time limit for a table. Some of the food was ok but the cheesy toastie was dreadful and my chips never arrived (though I was charged for them). Nice atmosphere in the pub but the toilets were absolutely disgusting, they were unbelievable. Broken toilet seat repaired with tape, toilet paper all over the floor, wonky taps, no soap and so incredibly small. No where to wait while the two tiny cubicles were in use. These toilets marred our trip and we definitely won't use this venue again for our next annual reunion

After a minor misunderstanding staff rectified everything and provided fantastic service. Very warm environment & lovely personal touch that made us feel welcome to their establishment

We ordered two Sunday roasts.one veggie..( nut roast ) and one pork.. the veggie nut roast was soft and stodgy. The cabbage was burned and the carrots were hard My son said it was about on par with a weatherspoons.. ..however its near Victoria Station and£15-17 for a Sunday what they call a roast.

What a terrific pub experience! Efficient chips is crispy and not oily at all. Also the duck hash and the steak & ale pie we're terrific... even before we drank too much. The service is great and even the owner is on site and serving guests. And a very clean bar. Don't miss this pub.

Made our day! Walked in and got to pour our own beer. Even at 11am, the place was packed. Food was good and the drinks cold. The staff were super nicer

On Tuesday, which was a very hot day, popped in for cold drinks, prior to visiting Buckingham Palace. Was shocked to be charged £9:10 for 2 halves of draft Diet Coke with plenty of ice.

Came here after a walking tour for changing of the guard. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We had the pork belly Sunday roast and the steak and ale pie.

Staff were very professional and friendly. Didn't have to wait too long to be served. Guinness was fantastic. Would definitely visit again.

Great spot for Fish & Chips first time visit the staff were attentive and gave great customer service I will definitely be back next time I’m in London.

Typical English pub located in Victoria/Belgravia. Friendly chaps and comfortable atmosphere. Great Sunday Roast choices. But the star here is the onion rings and fish n chips (same. Batter used on both) light and perfectly crispy. Really by far the best I’ve ever had.

The taste of everything food wise as a great experience, the staff is more than great love it in there and what a wonderfull and beautiful experience thanks so much

Great good, lovely service. Food came out very fast and was tasty. Steak was alittle smaller than usual but was cooked perfectly.

A very nice place to drink and eat, pleasant ambient with a cold beer of all kinds. It’s worth to visit, te little blonde girl bartender is very kind and polite.

Stopped off here for a quick drink and decided to get some snacks. Ordered some Loaded Nachos as this is something my husband and I like to share - and not usually something that disappoints. Until now. Normally when we order Nachos they are warm with melted cheese. These had some melted cheese - but the whole dish was cold. You had a layer of Nachos - which didn’t look like the normal kind and were more soggy than anything. On this layer there was some cheese that had melted at some point. Then another layer of soggy nachos and some guacamole and sour cream in dollops - with pickled pink onions and chilli slices. Thankfully it was easy to remove the chilli slices as I’d not wanted them - but you can’t “remove” items or customise your order when ordering via the App.

Randomly ended up in this pub after a visit to Buckingham Palace and cannot recommend highly enough! Food was unbelievable and was served by the lovely Gavin who couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Will definitely visit again!

Great spot. Top Guinness and polite, courteous staff. Jake in particular was an absolute star! Would recommend to all in this area.

Came across this pub whilst walking to our final venue. What a great little pub, it’s lovely to still have traditional pubs in London and this one didn’t disappoint. We ordered food from the menu which was great along with the music and the atmosphere. Will definitely return, staff were friendly and helpful

This is a brilliant pub, full of brilliant staff and excellent beer! The food and service is superb! The bar is clean and tidy!

Great, traditional pub. Atmosphere was very good as was the food. We went here with a group of 9 friends and managed to get seated for a late lunch. Would definitely recommend.

Fish n’ Chips perfeito! Muito gostoso, cervejas variadas e o staff muito acolhedor. Vale a pena se estiver perto. Preço bastante ok para Londres

We stopped in for dinner while in the area of Buckingham Palace and were delighted to stumble across this delightful old Belgravia London Pub. We had a tough time deciding on what to order because their menu has so many great options, including the classics such as fish and chips, vintage cheddar mac and cheese.We settled on the absolutely delicious Steak and Ale Pies paired with Aspall draught cider and an Old Mout pineapple and raspberry cider. The service was quick and friendly despite being very busy and having to wait for a table. If you're looking for a quick, delicious, hearty meal and to also quench your thirst, this is the place!

Drinks only as the kitchen was closed but prices were fair compared to others in the area and the staff were friendly and helpful.

How can you not stop a at place with that name? 😀 Had a good time and will certainly return anytime I’m in the area. Great brews!

We shared a steak and ale pie - which was delicious! We also liked the cabbage that was served with the pie. Hubby was happy with his beer and I appreciated the choice in non-alcoholic drinks and enjoyed my ginger beer. Place was LOUD but that was all the customers.

One of the worst pubs I have ever visited from a service point of view. The staff did not seem at all interested in serving the customers but instead carried on doing jobs which could be done later. Several times as we were waiting to be served there was nobody at all behind the bar. One lad had no idea how to serve a pint of beer. A lady started to serve one person and then walked off to do another job which again could have waited until she had finished serving this person .Absolutely no communication between the staff they were all in the own little world.

My family and I had an evening meal here. We ordered starters and mains. They all came together which we didn’t ask for. The main meal was a Sunday roast, has to be the worst roast we have ever had. Terrible service and terrible food.

Great friendly spot. We dropped in for a late-lunch after some sight-seeing. This was perfect for us. Regulars gave up their table so we could sit together with our friends. The atmosphere was exactly what we needed after a long day. We had a few beers and wine and ordered the fish and chips and bacon and chicken sandwiches. Be forewarned--we walked to the bar to order and I happened to catch a view of a fish and chips coming out of the kitchen--it was huge. We needed up splitting a single order and there was probably enough food for 2-3 people on the plate! The fish and chips were great. Lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. Our wives each had the chicken and bacon sandwiches and everyone cleaned their plates. I'm not sure where the bad reviews are coming from as we did not experience any of those drawbacks. The location is right behind the Palace so our expectations were we were heading into a cheesy tourist trap but that simply was not the case. Would definitely be a go-to for us.

Downstairs, this pub had a great atmosphere, lots of customers drinking, and staff were friendly so we thought we would go upstairs for dinner. Three of us ordered pie and chips . Our plates arrived with nine extremely hot spicy chips each, and the accompanying seared cabbage was both too burnt and so hard that we couldn't even cut through most of it. The pies ought to have contained more meat and the pastry was totally rock hard. The, extra gravy supplied was good and essential to soften the pie crust. I will add that the Ladies loos had a lock missing and another with a lock that didn't work. We all want our pubs to do well, but it doesn't happen without the effort.

Ordered 4 meals.. well 3 toasted cheese sandwiches & one steak ciabatta. Got 2 cheese. 35 mins later still not the rest. Chased & was told it would come. It did.. cheese toastie was naff so opened 2nd half & was just bechamel sauce on bread!! Took it back & was told they are short staffed. Was passed between staff too to speak to someone Food delivered after another 15 mins. Literally cheese looked like it had touched the bread once. Toilets like in another review were awful. No locks.. toilet roll holder off wall so paper all on floor. I get this is a tourist pub but as a chain the standard was awful. Staff looked defeated.. slightly disinterested & tired! Love quaint, love quirky but this was the worst pub for a long time! That said the drinks going out looked good (gin etc) so maybe just serve fries not other food lol.

Good Value for Location - right by Buckingham Palace. However, that’s as good as it gets…. The toilets were an absolute disgrace. Women’s had two cubicles and neither locked. I checked the cleaning rota, signed to say it had been cleaned in last hour. The...

Very burnt cheese toastie. Bar lady was ok but barely spoke. No personality. Just had a blank face the whole time. Toilets were ok.

Just terrible , miserable grumpy staff , not a single smile , my friend ordered a tea , was given to her in a cup no saucer and a desert spoon for the sugar , food was average ( I had steak pie ) with...

After a busy day around London I had planned to stop in the Bag O’Nails pub to complete London Beatles day and because the menu looked very nice. I was not disappointed. I had the vegan butler and a pint of aspells. Hit the spot...

Casual spot for lunch, and the food was delicious! If you're nearby and need a good and quick lunch, stop here.

Paid £8.10 for two small glasses of Lemonade (I asked for them in pint glasses). Then ordered a bowl chips which took an hour to arrive. Person who served me reacted to me asking for what I wanted like I was asking him to kill...

Appalling slow service. Table next to us had to go and get there food it was running so slow. Food was average. Just wanted a quick pub meal between sightseeing but would have been better of going across road.

Had a wonderful time here for Sunday brunch and all the staff were exceptional. Will be recommending to friends and anyone visiting Glasgow.

We sat at a table that They didnt Even bother to clean up. Ordered a burger, fish and chips and a salad. After 40 minutes we complained and noticed some other party had gotten their food before us Even though we were the same amount...

Wry run down, miserable staff and very welcoming!!!! At least there was a sign on the seat warning us for our safety!!!!

Had just been at Palace for garden party and called in for a swift one before changing for a meal and travel home in the evening. Served quickly and obviously gets a lot of trade from tourists and locals alike. Another Greene’s pub but its...

Booked a table online prior to visit ( straightforward, no problem with that ) . Arrived at pub ( a Saturday night ) . We love music but this was deafening ( no wonder pub half empty ) asked to change the table given away...

Very nice pub, very good food and kind service. Much better and cheaper than other chains like Angus…we appreciated the fish and chips, hamburger, steak and chicken. Beer also very good. Only small remark: hopefully the sofa repaired soon, it’s a pity to see it...

Un lieu sympa mais une nourriture pas top et beaucoup d’attente avec une serveuse des moins aimables. Une bière cependant...

Upon arrival, we sat down at our table in which was never cleaned off by staff members. Luckily, I had Clorox wipes in my travel bag that I used to clean off the surface. Otherwise, the food and drinks were excellent. I tried fish and...

Pop in after work with some colleague to have a drink. We left 3h after and few more drinks as the atmosphere and staff was great. We will defenetly come back.

I love a good gin and tonic. Enjoyed a superb one here. If you like a well made gin and tonic, I definately recommend you stop for one here.

Title says it al, it’s very rare that I write a bad review but this place is abysmal. Visited in a Sunday and had a “Sunday Lunch” the food was shocking it was absolutely rubbish. £17 for the “Roast Beef” two pieces of rubbish “meat”...

Me and my partner came to this british pub looking for some food and drinks, we was welcomed very warmly by the bartender, Demi and had some drinks we didn’t have before which was nice. Unfortunately the kitchen was not open but Demi advised us...

Went there after wandering around and watching ducks and swans at St-James park. The barmaid, Damy, was really nice to me. Went by my own and the interactions with her felt like home (I am from Brussels where service is generally nice). My beyond burger...

Well great oldy worldly pub,but seating was dangerous big dips in seating not great,also the ceiling could do with a paint,not sure why none of this was done during lock down not a difficult task

There's an blond headed lady that works the service area.. very rude to customers gives bad service and to top it off there's alot of stuff on the menu that ain't in stock wrong orders came to our table...

My boyfriend and I wanted to have a traditional UK lunch to end our trip in London so we saw this pub and came in.... first of all they gave us the wrong beer that we ordered then they didn't have the beer we wanted....

Efter vi hade passerat Buckingham Palace hittade vi denna pub. Väldigt trevlig personal och en riktigt bra Fish & Chips.

Love this pub ! Perfect if you are heading to Hyde park food is piping hot and delicious a proper English pub blue light card also accepted it !

Wondered into this place for lunch. It was a very unorganized, not very put together with staff and almost seemed to irritate the gal that we ask for a menu. Just seemed to all be their first day. And it was a little after mid...

Had a great experience and Elysia was fantastic, professional and extremely helpful. The food was great. Definitely recommend!

Unbelievably slow service.... Toasted dry rock hard Ciabatta... and how long do you have to wait for Apple Pie and Ice Cream? Under staffed and poor technical p.o.s system...... they never even had to heat the pie up!!!!

Lovely drink, friendly service & managed to find a stool. Not a place to spend an afternoon as furniture is functional rather than comfy. The reason this isn't a 4 is the repulsive toilets. I think the worst toilets I have seen in a long...

My friends and I popped into this bar/restaurant to avoid the rain. It was very busy but we managed to secure a table. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was well presented and tasty. A bit overpriced but then it is London.

We went in during the Queen’s mourning period for lunch. The pub was busy and we initially liked the atmosphere. However this soon changed……the 3 female bar staff were so rude. No eye contact. Not a hint of a smile. I watched one bar staff...

I witnessed the most horrific scene at this establishment on Saturday afternoon, 3rd September. The experience was the worst I’ve ever seen in a Greene King pub. Let me start from the beginning; we entered and found a table promptly, briefly looked through the drinks...

Great pub...food was wonderful, fish and chips, steak and ale pie, my favorite!!! This was so good...came back twice. Rustic and a feeling of being a part of the neighborhood.

We stopped here after viewing the Buckingham Palace State Apartments. The pub met all of our expectations for a quick meal. The fish and chips and steak were great. Great place for a quick meal.

I never thought I'd care about the service over one round of drinks enough to review it, but I was disgusted. The rude woman behind the bar was incredibly dismissive to myself and two friends, who simply dared to ask 1) if food was still...

I was so express with the service and the food was bang on . The prices was reasonable considering the location. Can wait to take my work colleagues for a Drink and meal. Why not check it out for yourself and ask for Rosichel tell...

There were several members of staff in the bar, only one actually engaged with me, eye contact and able to answer a question I had about the drinks menu. The others were intent on each other or stretching/exercising behind the bar. Our visit was on...

Looked pleasant from the outside and not badly priced for the location. We ordered 2 toasties and 2 portions of chips to share between 3. 2 adults and a child. On arrival of the food there were 2 plates, a toastie on each and 7...

Wasn’t expecting to be so delighted with a green king. Staff were great especially David what a barman!

The service was excellent, Rosina was very friendly and professional. The service was fast. Would definitely recommend a visit. Will come again.

Visited on the way to the palace. Had fish & chips and a pint of ale. Amazing experience and worth every penny. Recommend with my heart, the service staff will make you feel welcome and look after you.

Blisko do pałacu i stacji Victoria. Miło przywitała nas obsługa i dostaliśmy stolik na górze. Bardzo piękny pokój. Napewno wrócimy....

David is the bomb, great service and ambassador for the brand. Lovely place, go visit. And in a great location

Food was really great but the service left much to be desired. The girl at the bar was disinterested and a whisper away from rude for many, her face basically looked like she hated her job. The toilets were disgusting and obviously hadn’t been cleaned...

Никогда в жизни сюда не приходите кушать! Еда просто отвратительная, есть не возможно. Цены на неё не низкие, обслуживание тоже...

Nice place for a late night drink when everywhere else is closed by 10 pm. They roll up the sidewalks for food about 9 to 930 in London, you can get a bite later here..

Ate here while waiting for our hotel room at the Rubens to be ready. Crowded and very popular with locals. Fish and chips are traditionally served and perfect. Good menu choices with roasts on Sunday. Would recommend!

Popped in to get away from the crowds. Right across from the palace. Great beer, great service. Loved the food!

Popped in for something to eat. Manager? said he would check the dining area for seats. He didn't. Found our own. The 2 girls serving were not interested at all. The food was adequate. Service was non existent, the table next to us had to...

Stopped in for a quick dinner and wasn't disappointed! Fish & chips were just perfect, not greasy and very quickly served. At bars like this you order at the bar then sit down. Prices were standard or reasonable. Friendly place.

Unexpectedly walked in on Easter Sunday around noon as had to kill time for a Covid antigen test. As soon as I stepped thru the door I was greeted with a big smile and welcomed in. Got a table in the corner and decided to...

I visit the pub whit my family and we eat the best fish and chips ever. Nice small pub close to the Buckingham Palace, very friendly staff. I highly recommend.

The best fish and chips I’ve ever had! I loved this place! I definitely recommend it to have an amazing time with friends or family! 😎

Such a nice pub! The food was amazing and the environment was just so awesome 👌 That was exactly what we wanted to see in London!

The cappachino was just a flat coffee and the diet coke was all ice, as for the ladies toilets discusting and it has changed hands for the worse.

Went in for food and a few drinks with my boyfriend. Only pleasant person there was there security guard. Everyone else working there created such a tense atmosphere because they were plain rude. No greeting with a smile or even a simple hello. They had...

Great food with a group of friends, excellent friendly service. Will be returning regularly when I’m around

Peter is the best barman ever. The bag o Nails is our favourite place to go after work. The food is incredible we wouldn’t go anywhere else! The best pub in London! Thank you Bag o Nails!!!!

Peter is the best host and bar man, welcomes us into the pub every time, amazing food and atmosphere in a great part of London! Make sure you come here!

Peter was a great host, can’t wait to visit again !!! Amazing food was insane !! It’s a must visit i will be honest

Best pub in Victoria! Peter was an amazing host and made sure we felt welcome 😊 The food is great and will 100% come again!

Peter is absolutely fantastic he makes me feel welcome every time and the food is delicious the best food in london yum yum

Lovely little boozer, atmosphere is ecstatic, great for if you fancy a cheeky bite to eat or a cheeky little drink. Great location too so easy to see the local sights.

Had an amazing classic pub meal here! Very central and the staff is very friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

Great spot for friends. great staff, great beer. Would defo recommend to anyone looking for a great time. Had great food here too!! Defo an all round great place

The best pub in Victoria. Great food, great drink and amazing bar staff. Always friendly and very good service. Highly recommend

Fine for a drink. I wouldn't bother with the food. Got our order wrong, didn't refund the difference in price. Menu said dressed salad, there was a token piece of lettuce and tomato. Also got about 10 chips on the plate. Very poor for the...

Called for tea as hungry as anyhing. Access is good and the welcome warm from attentive staff. The menu is varied enough and the meals were both hot wholesome very much enjoyed. The prices were very fair comparable with back home.

I felt tempted in to the Bag of Nails as my local in Bristol goes by that name. Excellent service, really nice bier, (Neck Oil), and fabulous fish and chips, delivered in super quick time as I was on my way to get a coach....
