Lion and Unicorn pub in Camden

Amazing food, tasty and well presented Staff was really nice , friendly and attentive, such a breath of fresh air! The main I had which was pork.and sage meatballs on a bed of parmesan polenta , with tomato sauce was absolutely delicious!! I can't wait to go back there , me and my friend were really hapy! Highly recommended!

One of the best meals I’ve had in ages! Absolutely delicious food, great staff, so friendly and welcoming. We visited on a Monday evening and it was packed! And now I understand why…. I chose the smoked haddock and leek macaroni, absolutely lip smackingly good! My husband went for the lasagne, again, one of the best he’s had in a long time. This was followed up with a knickerbocker glory and mine a key lime pie. Faultless… we are visiting the are and have booked to go again on our last night

Celia looked after us with grace and humour. The food was f**king lush! The atmosphere is relaxing and casual and we felt like at a friend’s house.

Siamo venuti sotto suggerimento di amici per assaggiare il Sunday Roast e ne siamo rimasti estasiati. Cibo molto buono, locale carino situato in una zona tranquillissima di Londra. Sembrava di essere a casa.

On the hottest day of the year, it was such a relief to have a chilled dinner the lovely garden at The Lion and Unicorn. The service was really friendly and efficient, and the food was very good.

Had been there in the past so we thought we were going for a nice dinner. Unfortunately, the service was very slow, we had a booking for 7.30, the main course arrived at 9pm. The food was mediocre, not good quality and not well prepared. One fish dish was inedible. The waiting staff were very nice so it seems the problem is in the kitchen. Sadly disappointed and won’t be returning.

It’s been great in the past but the standard of service was poor & the food was very poor! 2 of the 4 daily specials were no longer available & we had to wait over an hour for our main courses (fish) which was overcooked & frankly quite tasteless. We were offered a discount on the bill but we won’t be going back there.

The Lion and Unicorn pub is incredible. Wonderful staff, location, food, drinks, service. Cannot fault them. It is always such a joy and a treat to eat and drink here, thank you.

I celebrated my birthday last week with friends and family at The Lion and Unicorn, in the beer garden. The beer garden is stunning and the food excellent.

This gastro pub is great for food and atmosphere. We had the market fish for 6 people with sides of vegetables and one person had desert all of which were served in a friendly and polite manner.

This pub is one of my favourite pubs in London. The interior is very cosy ,clean and relaxing seating areas and sofas.There is also a beautiful garden outside to sit down.Valery the bartender was so nice to me and he was a really nice member of staff like the others.

Went for an early evening meal. Welcoming and attentive staff. Adult meals were good but not exceptional (fish and chips; Lion burger). Children's meals were ok - portions a bit small; ordered chips but would have been nice to have some garnish with fresh vegetables/salad items to accompany their meal. No separate children's drinks menu. Unless children order ice cream the kids desserts are quite pricey. All in all a pleasant evening but found the food and drink to be quite expensive compared to other pubs.

Went drinks with friends & ended up staying for dinner, the food was awesome, and a great selection from, little nibbles to sharing plates and substantial dinners. The cocktails were so good, and everyone was happy with the beer & wine selection. Friendly warm atmosphere with everyone having a good time. Staff were attentive but not intrusive and the food came quickly. My new fav place.

Delicious meal on Valentine’s Day, great service and very good value for money. Will definitely be back, lucky it’s my local

The best Sunday Lunch I’ve had! Roast Beef perfectly cooked, veg and massive Yorkshire pud included topped off with lots of hot gravy.

A very cozy space to spend a Sunday in London. The food is excellent and the people working very polite. I totally recommend it!

The food is unreal in this place. The whole experience from start to finish was super we had a table close to the open fire which was extra nice on a chilly enough day out.

The fire was warm and welcoming on a cold day. The brunch was delicious. Service was friendly and fast and will go back as soon as we can.

Have been here in the past for just drinks. Really beautiful pub with a roaring open fire and lovely decor. We had a fabulous Sunday lunch - I had the lamb with all the trimmings. Service was really friendly, informative and efficient. A good selection of dishes (outside of the Sunday roast options) including vegan/vegetarian. The pub also has a nice rear garden and some chairs and tables out front which will be perfect in warmer weather. I would recommend 100%!

Great for gluten free as always. In our family we have four coeliacs so it’s great to be able to go out for a Sunday roast all together with no compromises. Great roasts including a gf Yorkshire pudding! Great gf fish and chips also- the best I’ve ever had!

Fun Burns Night last night! Spirited crowd, great haggis and scallops, and talented bagpiper and poetry reader. Thanks for a fun evening!

Fantastic atmosphere - a cozy gastro pub, pleasant staff, roaring fireplace, a lovely theatre up top. Enjoyed my visit! Thanks to everyone at the Lion and Unicorn for the delightful experience.

We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and absolutely loved this place. Nice cozy pub, great choice of food and lovely staff who made sure we had a good time. Definitely looking forward to visiting soon

This is one of the best pubs in all of london, the food, decor, cocktails and the service is beyond impressive! Couldn’t recommend more for a great lunch/evening/night of merry!

Excellent place. Very good service. Very good food. Really enjoyed. The pub has a warm atmosphere. You will always have a good time.

We just had our Staff Christmas dinner here and it was really amazing. The place looked beautiful and festive. The service /staff and food were both great. It was a really lovely setup and would definitely recommend for any agency Christmas dinner.

Buzzing with life, good food and friendly service. The choice of specials was very tempting, an excellent reason for another visit.

Food is amazing. All of our dishes were well presented and the taste matched its appearance. I will recommend here!

A wonderful pub with friendly staff, great food and good desserts. Ideal for a cold autumn evening. The fact that it has a theatre upstairs is a win!

So glad to find this beautiful Oasis just off Kentish Town Road in Gaisford Street spacious front and rear gardens and excellent decor inside. Great selection of Ales (Big Chief) top of my list. Valerie & Boris were working in tandem behind the Bar and...

This is my nearest local pub and I love it here. There are lots of pubs in Kentish Town and of the local pubs in NW5 that I have been to this one has the best accessibility to meet my step-free disability needs. I can...

Had a meal before going to a performance in the theatre above the venue. Opted for the veggie roast, decent serving amount, food quality was good too. Would recommend.

The food is always very good, market fish our favourite, Irvin Welsh in the pub tonight too for us trainspotters.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of a leafy street, the Lion and Unicorn is a lovely pub with great ambiance. I was lucky with the weather, with beautiful twilight setting, and enjoyed the meal and drinks outside. The Oxfordshire courgette risotto was delicious, and...

The worst food I have ever eaten in my life. Horrible. Would definitely not recommend. As a child, I got myself a child’s lion burger and chips meal. The burger was borderline raw and it was smaller than the palm of my hand. The chips...

Love this place, visited many times. It has excellent outdoor options for summer, always space for you to sit. And in winter, it has cosy fireplaces. Great decor. Always a good and vegetarian-friendly menu, which changes often. Been on dates, friends, family. Just a great...

lovely spot food too fussy too many ingredients on the plate service very slow a harassed waiter was heroic but received very little help from a new member of staff who provided very little help. Also extremely expensive and thus poor value

There is so much to love about the Lion & the Unicorn. Attractive building, beautifully presented both in and out. The interiors are exceptional: space, big windows with green views, colours, decorative pieces, lighting & pictures + the window box plantings so pretty. Loving attention...

Now I’m not going over the top here … this gem of a pub in Kentish Town totally blow me away with its roast , I have never had a roast that’s reached the heights in every element … the seasoning was perfection and it...

Delicious food, service was quick and friendly. The price has increased, but the team has made it worthwhile.

Sometimes it gets really boring and local cafés are full with all plugs occupied, so what do you do? Go to local pub for WorkFromPub. Lion and Unicorn is perfect for this - wifi is good, has cosy seating, fireplace, unlimited coffee and lunch. I...

A charming pub on a quite and leafy area of Kentish Town! Loved the food and service - friendly staff and manager! Special thanks to the manager Avi for his warmth and jovial welcome. The sticky toffee pudding was quite exquisite. The Sunday Roast was...

I came to the pub to play bagpipes for the Burn’s night supper and absolutely loved it! The food was incredible and so was the atmosphere of pub. It’s a lovely pub and has a wonderful garden too.

The best food in London by far. Have been there twice and amazed with the quality and consistency of taste. Recommend highly for lunches and dinners. The Sunday roast was fantastic and double thumbs up to the delicious Espresso Martinis. On a cold evening, the...

Such a nice atmosphere and Sunday roast ! We came here with friends to enjoy a beautiful Sunday roast and we loved it . The deco of the pub was nice and I would really recommend it to go around 5 o clock to enjoy...

Staff party. Outside seating not an issue, heaters supplied that work well. Over £350 for a selection of scotch eggs, hummus and sausage rolls! Outrageous! At the bar, hardly any space. Waited ages to get served. 3 drinks bought, cost £30. First round. Then got...

Amazing quality both food, big portions and the too crackling was incredible. Friendly & attentive staff, always with a smile on their face. 100% recommend will defo come back.

We each enjoyed our Sunday roasts at this fine establishment. We shared a plate of charcuterie then my wife had the beef while I enjoyed the chicken. Portions were generous and of good quality. We drank glasses of the house red, a very pleasant Tempranillo....

This is my 3rd time at The Lion and Unicorn and I just love the Sunday roast. My son and I are sharing a whole chicken and the trimmings are impressive and delicious. "It's just like Nan's" my fussy adult son with autism says. No...

Busy Friday night, the food was stunning, service almost perfect, great atmosphere, dog friendly, perfect for any occasion from a dinner to a birthday party. I will come back again and again. I had a pleasure to meet Luigi the new manager, top!!!

It’s been a while since we last visited here but pleased to say it was as good as ever. The troublesome news we discovered upon entering was that the manager who has been in place here for the last 4+ years is moving on to...

Great food Fantastic service Lovely outside eating area Dogs welcome We will most certainly be back. Shame the fantastic landlords leaving

We had our family pre-Christmas dinner at the Lion and Unicorn. Food was super, atmosphere really nice and the staff incredibly helpful and friendly. Will definitely come again!
