Molly went out of her way to seat us, feed us and make sure we had something to drink. The food was all amazing except the chicken wings a bit dry, but I’m putting that down to a busy night and they missed the timing, all the other food was perfect. We came with our 5 year old and she smashed her plate of fish and chips, left nothing for dad tax. Would definitely recommend.

Very rude staff, we come every Friday in a large group (always 10+) - yet always get treated poorly, staff are slow, they either rudely ask us as whole group to move or complain if we eat our own snack - in a dismissive rude way despite the kitchen being closed. You would hope they would treat their regular guests better and be more understanding if someone is a bit hungry

The chicken burger was very stingy. I think the actual meat could have been deep fried wafer thin turkey ham it was that thin! I really don't know why they would economise so much on the amount of meat when they're charging £17 for a burger.... It tasted fine, but why so stingy Fountain & Ink ?

Food is incredibly delicious. Staff is very friendly. Great music playing the background; not your usual music that you hear constantly. I ordered the Chef's Roast and received a variety of meats along with several vegetables. The food was amazing; however, I really enjoyed the steak. The chicken and pork belly were also good. My partner ordered the sea bass. I tasted that as well and definitely would order that again. Shin was crispy and perfectly prepared. All vegetables were cooked properly and the caramelized carrots were very tasty. The triple chocolate brownie and ice cream was a perfect dessert. Overall the portions are very generous. It's likely fine for most but, if you don't overeat, the main dishes could be shareable. Facilities were clean.

The food - at lunch at least, never eaten here in the evening - is really good, as are the drinks. They will give up on making cocktails when it’s really busy, which is a shame (even though a Negroni is relatively simple and quick, and even though they will still serve Guinness even though it takes about three days per pint). The one detraction is the desperate attempt to play music in the evenings, even though the place is heaving and people are already shouting to make themselves heard. Seriously people, no-one can actually hear *what* music is playing, it’s just adding to the decibel level and making people shout even louder. Utterly pointless, turn it off…

The worst roast I've ever had. Everything was bland. Chicken was dry. I've never poured so much gravy over chicken in an attempt to make it edible, only to be disappointed with how bland the gravy was. Roast potatoes had a strange odd smell to it and was undercooked. Yorkshire puddings were also dry! I had to yank at it with my teeth. I gave up in the end. My friend fed my toddler some of their battered fish. After I had a try and I was shocked when I caught a whiff of it. It smelled bad! I hope my daughter doesn't get food poisoning. Such a shame as it was a well reviewed place. The atmosphere and space was lovely. I hope it was just an off day/period.

Un lugar muy agradable, acogedor y el personal era increíblemente servicial tanto antes del evento y durante para asegurarse de que nosotros y nuestros invitados estaban contentos. La única queja que tuvieron nuestros asistentes fue que la música era un poco demasiado alta, lo que hizo que a veces fuera difícil escucharnos, pero aparte de eso, una noche realmente buena.

Pretty much stumbled across this place today and happy we did. Food was great. Especially impressed with the chicken as I would honestly say 9/10 pubs give you dry chicken but this place the chicken was cooked perfectly and moist. Also the Guinness was good. Molly and also the young blond lady that served us were very attentive and friendly. Although the place was a little spenny (expected around central London) I would totally recommend this place for a quiet Sunday roast.

SUNDAY BOTTOMLESS ROASTS! 🔥 🔥 Always been a good vibe but as a Sunday roast lover… i had to try the bottomless and be critical. Amazing portions, very flexible on what you want topping up. I didn’t have to finish my potatoes to get more and more chicken and then beef instead of chicken! There is no bottomless place like that around here (tried all the roasts around this area, lived here for 5 years). Would deffo recommend. Make sure you’re hungry!

Great pub, nice location, atmosphere and views. Please be careful sitting outside though as my bag was stolen from under the table! We never left the table unattended, so it's crazy how they manage to do it without us noticing. The bar staff said it happens all the time, so be careful and keep your belongings safe! Ruined a delightful evening.
