Fountains Abbey in City of London, Westminster

Lovely pub with the nicest staff. Came here both Saturday for drinks and Sunday for watching football and having a pint!

Great pub with varities of food and drinks. Great for event as they have a private area you can book upstairs

I was there with others for a reunion. Slightly disappointed as one of my favourite beers was off, luckily GK IPA was still going as was the Neck Oil. Good atmosphere and good company until about 18:30 when I had to leave for another rendezvous with family. The only downside was the till refused to accept my free drink welcome voucher for domestic reason or another which could not be worked out why no matter what the manager or the bar assistant could do. Apart from that a very pleasant few hours there.

Härlig engelsk pubkänsla och goda pajer! Personalen var mycket trevlig och hjälpsamma. Fin julstämning med julpynt gran mm.

I highly recommend this place for the beauty of the interiors, the warmth and the uniqueness it offers. Exquisite food and top service. Congratulations!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The staff is really friendly, I had a memorable dining experience. Manuel is very friendly, I will definitely go there again!

I've come several times, it's very good

I went with my family two times in this pub and we really appreciated the food (steak & ale pie top!!) and the service. The waiters were very friendly with us, especially SUSMA, a great thank you from Italy!! We'll gladly come back

We had the best time at lunch! Outstanding service, so funny and sweet people, and really delicious fish&chips. We were also here on our last London fairytail and it absolutely won’t be the last visit!

The atmosphere was amazing, and the employees was friendly, but the food was so delicious 😋

We were in a group in the pub. The food was good and reasonably priced for a PUB. The service was friendly

It is a fantastic pub located just outside of Paddington Station. It is a Victorian-style pub with a wonderful atmosphere and a wide range of cocktails, wine, and beer. They have several gin-based drinks on the menu, all of which are amazing. The food here is also something you should consider. The Steak Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding are outstanding! They have a good selection of traditional "pub grub" that should satisfy any craving. I highly recommend stopping in if you are Paddington

Visited in the summer. Perfect for a pint or food before/after a train.

2 flat pints of Amstel, thankfully they changed it to Madri but it's annoying when the 1st one was flat aswell. Food is nice

Good place to have a few beers and a bite to eat. Manuel treated us excellently. We will return!

Had a lovely vegetarian Sunday lunch. Very tasty, good portion size- served quickly, attentive service. Would recommend

It was perfect for watching a soccer game Fish and chips are also delicious~ I had a great time thanks to Manuel’s kindness☺️

We recently left the venue and had a great time! Typical pub dishes that were really tasty (much better than a pub we tried in Soho, which they described to us as "the pub district"). The staff were very kind, especially the waitress upstairs. Really recommended!

I had took an evening stroll in London after a day of conferences and noticed this place. The outside seating was full and figured I'd go inside, just to get a beer and maybe a meal. Little did I know that I was going to have the best meal I'd had all week in the upstairs dining area. Seems when I got inside, a Football match was on (Soccer as we in the U.S. call it.) Place was hopping. So the bartender waved me up and gave me a beer after a min or two. I noticed a seat had opened up outside and I went out and sat down. As it was busy after awhile, I noticed two older ladies looking for seats. As I was at a two spot table, I got up and went inside to free it up for them. When I went back inside, there were these stairs that went up and they drew me in. I could not believe that as active as it was downstairs with the match going on, it was quiet up there. They sat me at a nice table with a view and.. well... it was amazing! Staff were polite and quick with getting my drink, then took my order. The food was cooked as I had asked... the flavor.. Excellent! The appetizer came out and the main course followed just as I finished most of it. I was impressed. The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was top notch! Clean, comfortable and all was right. The day of meetings forgotten and I was relaxed. If and when I'm back in town... and it had been a long time since the last. I will bring more of my crew to enjoy a great meal! Thank you all! Till next time! Cheers!

Delicious good and good service! We grabbed dinner here recently after a long touristy day. It was such good food, and we had terrific service (upstairs dining room).

It was really good. The service was awesome🤩 and the food was amazing 👍 the cheese and bacon burger was really juice nad really tasty. The service was awesome they asked us how everything was and was really nice to us.

Nice atmosphere. The salad with vegan cheese and nachos with lots of dips were delicious.

All the handpump beers were off. Meh.

All the handpump beers were off. Meh.

Food was good - had the fish and chips. Reason for the 5stars was the fantastic service provided by Susma. Will come back due to same - thank you :)

Typical London pub, very nice and welcoming. The only negative note is that the staff is not very welcoming. You have to order at the counter, which we didn't initially understand. Despite this, the food is really excellent, we had the fish and chips which were delicious and the meat pie, which was also very good. Approved and recommended

So tasty food and nice beers!!! Congrats!!!

Very good. Manu de Mallorca nos atendió tan bien que nos hizo sentir como en casa. La comida correcta y servida a tiempo para todos. Recomendable para un Fish and chips que te deje un buen recuerdo de Londres de vuelta a casa.

Fantastic service, specially from Manel. Fish and chips is a must. Also very good advise to choose a good beer. We'll come back

Ambiente agradable, comida muy buena, y sobre todo un buen servicio, he visitado varios pubs y sin duda este es uno de mis favoritos, Manuel es un buen profesional, volveré

Staff were good. Inside venue overly warm, close to uncomfortable. But; ordering food at 7.30 p.m and still no food at 8.40 p.m is totally unacceptable. After speaking to very apologetic staff who said our order (1 x burger, 1 x steak) was still 10 to 15 minutes off, we asked for a refund and left. Refund given with no problems. Good selection of drinks and nice pub like atmosphere, but kitchen needs to lift its game.

Marvelous place to taste British dishes and tons of beers. Try the fried squid. Excelent service, specially Manuel, very profesional !

Manuel, the waiter, has been very friendly and helpful. A recommendable site and fantastic service.

Best service from Manuel, will come back for sure

Enjoy food and drinks in a friendly atmosphere

Walked passed by chance and ended up having two drinks here. Great prices, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Loved that I could pay by cash too. Great seating outside in the sun people watching. Will definitely come back.

Been there yesterday was very busy but stuff presented top service! Special thanks to Manuel for great job

A decent pub with a cracking deal on spirits at the moment. Where you can get a double, for an extra £2.50. The chicken wings were delicious, best I've had in the area and worth making the visit for that alone. The visit was marred by the arrival of a begging woman, who cleverly stole a mobile that was on the table, by placing a magazine over it. Keep all your possessions ver close.

Nice pub to spend time with friends on a Sunday afternoon

A Warm Welcome Awaits at the Historic Fountains Abbey Pub Stepping into the Fountains Abbey pub feels like stepping back in time. This Victorian gem, steeped in history (rumored to be a favorite haunt of Sir Alexander Fleming, the inventor of penicillin!), offers a warm welcome and friendly service from the moment you walk through the door. Catching a Game or a Bite? Whether you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle and catch the latest game on their TVs (perfect for sports fans!), or simply enjoy a delicious meal with family and friends, the Fountains Abbey caters to all. Head upstairs to their restaurant, where a friendly atmosphere awaits. Their menu boasts a wide selection, but be sure to try their legendary plate of nachos - perfect for sharing! They also cater to families with a welcoming environment for all ages. Getting There and Parking The pub is conveniently located near Paddington Station, so getting there is a breeze. Several buses stop nearby, including the Paddington Station (Stop F), Edgware Road / Praed Street (Stop ED), Paddington Stn Eastbourne Terrace (Stops D & E). While they don't have their own dedicated parking, there are several pay-by-hour options available on nearby streets.

It's a fantastic pub that bridges the gap between generations, offering a place for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. Heads Up!

So, if you're looking for a friendly pub steeped in history, with great food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere for all ages, then look no further than the Fountains Abbey!

Enjoy a drink with work colleagues.

Visiting the area and staying in a hotel down the road we ventured out looking for a drink not too far away stumbling upon here. A couple of drinks in we decided to stay for dinner..a great decision. The food is very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious, freshly cooked, good portions and definitely worth coming back again. An under-rated establishment. Sorry, no pics of the food, we ate it all.

Only one person working at bar and tables. Very friendly but needed a colleague as too much to do single handed. The worse meal I have eaten in years. Flatbread was cold, the cauliflower was like a mousse, food tepid and the roast beef inedible. The chips were okay. Obviously not cooked fresh but reheated and left too long before service. Plates not cleared. Seats stuck together with tape. This was a family gathering on June 30. Shockingly awful fare and reminiscent of the 1980’s. Fortunately we found Gail’s nearby for coffee and cake - altogether much better.

Embarrassing that they served the food, potatoes either Raw or not defrosted, Yorkshire pudding that knife couldn't get through, and meat was so tough, genuinely the worst excuse for food ever, the bar staff never even apologised when I spoke about it.

Cozy pub near Paddington Station, nice atmosphere, 10 different types of beer in the range, large TV for sports broadcasts and of course delicious fish and chips

A great place to call in for a pint and a bite to eat,staff friendly and took time out for a chat

Careful of the beer prices. They are not posted and you only know the price when it's time to pay. Trap!

Above standard pubs. Clean, but not sterile. More locals than tourists. Upstairs, a quieter dining area. Nachos suitable football food, large portion, lots of side dishes, reasonably priced. You can also enjoy food outside.

Dodgy shaky tables outside though, watch out.

Another pub, the very nice Latin girl

More than one hour to be serviced (3 dishes)...bad experience

Great pub!! We didn't get food just drinks.

Typical big city pub with a pleasant atmosphere. The food there was great, both visually and taste-wise. Great place to comfortably shorten the waiting time for the train (directly opposite Paddington station).

Had fish and chips and a draft here during a layover. Went to the next city full and satisfied!

I am NO relative of Alexander Fleming. Honest review LOL. Well clearly Alexander had good taste. Drinks were great and so was the food. Picture of empty plates as it was too good to let go cold and faff around taking pictures. Atmosphere is great it is an old pub and feels like stepping back in time... The is a telly for sports though. I was here on a Sunday and it was mellow and relaxing... Great looking out the window at the hustle and bustle. Table 11 is great as it is near the door but on a raised platform. The range of seating is great depending on your visit. Tall bar tables and chairs, proper table and chairs and snug tables and chairs at the back. The staff were very nice and the food arrived in good time and hot.

Food was quite good and so was the service. Nice pub like atmosphere

Wonderful authentic experience, delicious food and great service

Great pub with delicious food and beer!

Loved the food and the vibe. Worth checking out.

We really liked the atmosphere, and the place is very quiet. Delicious food and Samantha's attention was very welcoming and pleasant. Without a doubt I would return. We are from 🇨🇱 and we feel at home.

The atmosphere of the place is excellent, the food is very delicious for London (where the city's specialty is not food). Samantha's service was very good, she recommended places to visit in the city and very good dishes to eat, along with the desserts that are delicious. The vibe of this place is everything one expects to find in London. The prices are honestly not that cheap, but they are at the price of what food costs in the entire city.

Walked into this Quintessential English pub in Paddington during the big football match with friendly vibes and service. Across from St. Mary's hospital and frequented by Sir Alexander Fleming, the creator of penicillin back in the 1880s.

Warm welcome, nice pub and varied suggestions.

Excellent place .... pleasant environment .... and professional staff .... nothing else needed A++++++++++

English tourist pub, lacked English beer selection, food ok, neither boo nor bä, a pint cost £7.6 Hamburger plate £14.75

Typical tourist pub clean friendly and near the High Court

Last week during our city trip to London we had some drinks in this cafe a few evenings. We thought it was a very nice cafe with friendly staff. There is a real English atmosphere, cozy and inviting.

Very happy overall, great service will definitely come again.

Had Sunday roast there as our final meal before heading back to the states. Not sure if we can hold it against them or the whole British stereotype. The food was bland and largely inedible. But maybe that’s just British. The roast potatoes were actually pretty good. The roast itself was more tender than it looked but it looked like it was stamped with “Tod’s”. I think the Yorkshire pudding was good by Yorkshire pudding standards, which apparently is to say I don’t like Yorkshire pudding either. It was worth a try though. Oh, and don’t order a latte. Of the 30 lattes we’ve had in the last three weeks, this was the worst. By far. Some kind of instant powder mix I guess. They should have warned us. Prices not unreasonable I guess despite the food being deplorable. The waitress was as good as she could be. Ended up with several tables and she was hustling. Never got refills on our 8oz water glasses. But she was busy. Atmosphere is apparently a typical (now we know) chain Greene King pub. We like it well enough. It is what Americans think of when we think English pub. Maybe just stick to ordering pints of ale here.

Lovely friendly staff, good varied variety of food and drink on offer. My go to spot in Paddington

We travelled to London for the weekend and visited this pub, great staff and very helpful. The food was great, very nice traditional pub by Paddington however I would suggest a makeover to live up the ambiance and bring back the heritage aspects of this lovely place.

The food is fantastic and great cocktails selection.We loved our meal.Service was excellent considering the pub was super busy.

Classic local pub with friendly service. Had a team Christmas dinner and the booking was smooth and they booked us the upstairs private space

Ordinary pub. Totally ok food. Nothing extra.

Sophie in the Dining Room was fantastic. Came 3 days in a row had different food each night and all was exceptional. Sophie’s service during a day with no help and super busy had a smile on her face the whole time and provided exceptional service.

On a quiet Thursday evening we had to wait for one hour after we placed our order. The food was dry and medium beef was past well-done. Beers were fine tho, and eventually they waved the bill

Nice friendly pub. Lovely employees. Food was ok and prices were fine considering it is central.

Typical corner pub with a good selection of delicious beers, fits and is fun.

Very friendly pub and waitresses attentive to our son who is learning to speak English. Copious and good fish and chips and a very warm atmosphere. A very nice experience at the end of the day towards Paddington.

Aaron, class as always. Best service in west london

Aaron is an unreal bar tender, goes the extra yard all the time

Great pub. Very well decorated and very friendly staff. We spent our last night in London there having a pint and enjoying some sandwiches in a great atmosphere watching the Champions League. Definitely a place to visit if you stay nearby.

The place was beautiful and the beers as well. The food was not good enough but I definitely recommend to visit it.

Great fish and chips and they had kids portions as well. Highly recommend and a decent beer selection as well.

It's £7.10 for a pint of lager. Has it really come to this..? For tourists only, I suspect.

Super friendly staff, food as authentic as hoped and typically English atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit 🙂

Nice pub atmosphere, but we waited forever for the food and it was terribly bad.

£7.40 for a pint of Peroni is juicy. The bench I was sitting on still had the plastic cover on it, or rather off. Well, it can, but it doesn't have to. I'm out of the picture when it comes to prices.

An extended family of 7 people we went to the pub as a reputable Greene King establishment. At first everything seemed normal though it took the best part of an hour for the food to arrive . After 45 minutes they advised they had no sausage for my Daughters Sausage and chips meal so we ordered Chicken nuggets and chips. The Flat Iron Medium Rare Steak was like pieces of leather and not pink so I returned it. It took 15 minutes for someone to come out and advise that there was no more Steak - on a Saturday afternoon??? I went to the bar ordered a cod Sandwich and house seasoned fries as a replacement along with a pint - this was 41p cheaper than the original meal but told them to keep it in the charity or tip jar. In the mean time my Step dad was tucking in to his fish and Chips but is still waiting for his Bread and butter side he paid for and my daughter is still waiting for her Chicken nuggets and Chips some 30 minutes after ordering this replacement meal. When my fries arrived some further 15 minutes later so did my daughters meal and my Step Dads Bread and butter (He had finished his meal) but even if he had not it was two slices of bread with two knobs of butter on the top slice???? My Daughter was no longer hungry and could not eat the nuggets, I had my "Seasoned" house fries which were simply plain but was still waiting for the Cod Fish Finger Sandwhich, after 10 minutes I ate the Fries so they did not go cold we asked for the manager to be told they are on a call and will be a while. Who do we ask for a refund - they went away. After nearly an hour we went to the till and I asked what was being done about the refund as I am still waiting for the rest of m y meal which to my astonishment the response was - we do not have a receipt for a Cod Fish Finger Sandwich so I reminded them about the saga called them out for the lies and requested a refund for the original meal which I was told they could not as the manager has to do that. The manager eventually graced us with his presence who's opening gambit was I hear you have been aggressive to my staff and had no interest in hearing what I had to say and only escalated the frustration and whole situation accused us of being scammers and referred to CCTV telling the truth - which indeed it will! There is only 1 Scammer here!

They are of no use to you, you have to go and order everything at the bar. The fish and chips, very good!

Food and drinks were amazing! Christa was amazing bartender. Would come here again!

Christa was awesome!!! Great service, great vibes!!! A must visit., we will be back.

This is a great local pub to visit if your in the Paddington area. The staff was great!

We were in London this weekend and for two consecutive evenings we had dinner in this quaint pub near the hotel where we were staying. We always stayed in the room upstairs (the second evening there was a football match... there were a lot of people) the food wasn't bad, the beer was good 🍺 the prices were average I think. The service on the second evening was a little confusing but only one girl with a full room... and the only pub we saw in London but I think we will happily return. P.S. (some chairs may have had their day and it would be time to change them...and even drafts of cold air come in from the windows which are not very pleasant if you have a table nearby)

Great Pub! Close to Paddington station. Ideal if you want a beer while waiting for your train. Bartenders are really kind and food was amazing.

Had a fantastic warm welcome at this pub in Paddington on a cold wet & windy night. Crystal and the team were fantastic to my work colleagues and friends on my leaving do and even let us use a bigger room that was available. Thanks so much!

Grim Sunday roast. Cold hard pale potato’s, soggy carrots and cabbage, anemic chicken cold Yorkshire. No flavour no herbs. Obviously all microwaved.

This is one of the most annoying disappointing evenings me and my family have had out in a very long time. Being spoken to so rudely when we made a complaint about the chips been cold and then taking half an hour to get new chips . Spoke to a dark haired lady Called Crystal who was too busy talking to some blonde lady at the bar and drinking when she were supposed to be working. Literally was slurring her words . The tables filthy and I had to clean it up myself and asked for some tissue and to remove the cups and plates that was left there as it was pretty busy Night. Would never go again.

Super nice service and delicious food.
