Convenient for the fantastic Lords tour but a fairly unremarkable pub with very slow service. I suspect you could do better unless you want the convenience.

Beers are marginally cheaper than inside the ground and you get to drink them out of a glass rather than plastic pints. I once saw Phil Tufnell at the bar.

Really poor care - our pre-booked table was given away whilst we were there. They did find an alternative table, but it was not as good. The order was not taken correctly and there was a delay providing the meal. Given its name and position, we hoped for something more, and really we would have preferred not eating there at all and going off to find a better environment in a better place. Could do so much better.

We paid a considerable amount for a dinner for 2 together with the Tour ticket expecting a very nice experience. At the end we were only entitled to a main and a drink. The menu options were also very poor. Service was OK. We were disappointed.

Came here during the lunch break next door at Lords. Firstly, the service was very good. The waitress was very attentive and prompt with everything. However, the place feels a bit tired as does the food. The quality felt like it could have been better especially given how expensive it was. I would not recommend coming here as you really do not get value for money. I had a prawn cocktail to start and a Caesar salad to follow. My fellow diners had a burger, fish and chips and a chicken curry. All of it just seemed over priced for the quality they were offering. My fellow diner said he had been here often when coming to the cricket and said disappointingly the standards here seem to have completely dropped off over recent times.

While enjoying the afternoon lunch, it was marred by the poor service my friend and received, which had not been the case a fortnight previously when I had last attended. This can be put down to the inexperience or training of the staff. The food was excellent but the time wait between finishing off our meal and receiving a dessert menu, and then obtaining an order for dessert and then subsequently for the Bill was unacceptable. This was not due to over crowding but down to the waiting staff, who after clearing the min course debris, never looked over to our table (as I was continuously trying to gain their eye) or checked on us. This led me having to go up to the staff on 3 occasions, who were chatting amongst themselves in the doorway of the kitchen. It was a shame that I found it necessary to get up to find them i) for the Dessert menu, ii) to provide an order and iii) to subsequently obtain the bill and make payment. I did still pay the discretionary service charge, but I may not be so generous next time. I would further add that when I asked one of the waiting staff if ice cream was served with the Lemon Posset she said it doesn’t but didn’t explain how it was served. I thought it would come out in a desert bowl so asked for a blob of ice cream. On its arrival I established that the dessert was served in a glass bowl, and thus the ice cream was not really needed. However, I received a full dessert bowl of ice cream, which was a separate dessert and thus I ended up paying for 2 desserts just for myself. This could and should have been avoided if I was correctly advised how the initial desert was served in the first place.

We were having a tour at Lords so booked a table here for after the event. I hadn’t read the timings properly and we were half an hour late for our booking, it was no problem at all and our table had been kept for us. The service was great, both had a superb Sunday roast. Lovely place, not overly busy and nice outside space too.

Booked here after our guided tour around the Cricket ground. Made to feel very welcome by staff, service with a smile. We both had the lamb, food was delicious, the only thing I would suggest is you ask for your gravy to be served separately, I wasn’t keen on the amount of gravy on my plate and didn’t like to ask for some of it to be removed as the staff were so nice. Overall highly enjoyable.

Ate here after a tour of Lord’s. Despite its history, the pub is a modern and not very atmospheric space, with TVs showing sports channels. The menu is mostly what you’d expect in a pub, but with a couple of interesting twists like mutton curry - which my husband enjoyed - but overall to me it wasn’t awfully inspiring. My fish cakes were tasty enough, but lacked any discernible texture, and didn’t come with the “triple cooked chips” I had ordered until we chased. Similarly, my starter was nice but not special, and came missing the extra of feta cheese that I had asked for. Service was very friendly and prompt, but not really tested as the place was almost empty. It’s a decent, convenient and reasonably priced stop-off if you’re going to Lord’s, but don’t expect a “destination restaurant”!

I booked a table for 5.45pm thru Open Table. I'd take my parents away for their 53rd wedding anniversary. When we arrive, the staff inform us that the kitchen closed at 5pm!!! What a way to start our special trip!! It may be an idea if they update the portal's they advertise on to reflect their correct opening hours!! We ended up having a fantastic evening at The Ivy in St John's Wood which was much better!!

We chose the Lord's Tavern because there was nowhere else available. The beer choice was good, but the beer itself was only average, it tasted alright, but I did not think it was in perfect condition and the taste was very slightly wrong as far as I could judge. They would not cook the beef burger that my companion ordered anything else but ‘well done’. It was certainly that and to be honest it tasted very pedestrian it was not really very pleasant and I doubt its quality. At least the chips were good and crispy. The chicken I had again was cooked into submission and not very tasty, just about possible, but certainly not very exciting. I should take a moment to commend the service as the gentleman with blue hair who waited on us was neither attentive, nor would I say particularly welcoming; however, the fact that he wished to share with us the fact that he had a good beer belly and the T-shirt he wore, which had seen better days, coming nowhere near his jeans, cooperated in the endeavor. It was not a particularly aesthetically pleasing sight, but one that established a degree of uniqueness which was only matched by the fairly poor quality and tasted the food. I could neither really recommend this except in emergencies and certainly do not feel that an early return is a likelihood.

We had an OK time. We paid for our meal as part of our Lords ticket so had a set one course choice. We had the curry which was not bad, not amazingly flavoursome but acceptable. There were plenty of staff to customers but service very casual and not over friendly. Plenty of screens to watch the cricket and am sure when key matches are on there is probably a great atmosphere, but at other times not a particular destination.

I’m not one to write a bad review based on one bad experience but this is my exception. We had a wonderful tour of the cricket ground and decided to finish off the experience with a drink and lunch at the tavern. It was not busy at all. We ordered a drink from the bar then order our two mains for lunch. Time was not an issue as we are on holiday and the Lords experience was very positive. We ordered wine to compliment our lunch and that’s when it all went pear shape. My husband’s meal arrived then the waiter went to get his cutlery but when he didn’t bring me any cutlery I thought there might be a problem as why wouldn’t he bring cutlery for both meals, even if one was still to be delivered? This waiter had taken the order for both mains. I urged my husband to start before his meal got cold then eventually my husband went to the female bar attendant to query the lost meal. She left the bar to seek an answer. Our waiter came over eventually and tried to blame computer problems, but the restaurant was not crowded and he took the order for two meals so why wouldn’t he query the absence of one meal? I have to say the female bar attendant was the only one to show any concern. Our waiter was “lost in space” , the two supervisors? useless with one spending more time sitting down. Finally I noticed a person who I thought could be the manager, who was concerned about the lack of water bottles available ( none offered to us or the tables around us). He was removing dirty plates and showing some interesting in the customers by engaging with them. Something neither of the “lanyard “ people did. My husband spoke to him, cancelled my order, and did receive an apology and his meal was free. We were not after a free meal just a lunch to highlight our Lords experience. As previously stated it was not busy so that can’t be an excuse. The “lanyard” people were lazy, never interacted with customers, never queried if everything was alright and frankly “couldn’t be bothered”. Obviously they don’t know how to work the room. So disappointing.

A historic Tavern beside a landmark ground makes it very special. During my tour to the Lords guided tour I also took the onus of reserving a table to have tea just for the experience. As we entered the restaurant and informed our reservation we were directed to our table. We actually moved to coffee and along with bread and butter was served. The breads were freshly baked and was delicious. I would recommend to visit when a match is on motion as it will also allow to get the passion of patrons displayed. A must visit just for the experience. Outside and indoor seating both are available

The experience we had on Father’s Day was nowhere near as good as a previous visit a month earlier. The service was poor and they were out of the 2 drinks we ordered and we’re also out of items on the limited match day menu which was disappointing given that we had the first booking of the afternoon (Noon). We accept it was busy but due to poor organisation of the staff it took nearly half an hour to provide a food order and other food customers suffered in the same way . To be fair, the food was very good and the staff were young and polite.

I went there to meet a friend who lives around the corner. It was a really hot day. I came with my dog. I went there before and it wasn't a problem. I was on the terrace as I do understand that some people don't want dogs inside. (Although it is very weird as most place including restaurants allows dogs nowadays). I was very shocked when the waiter refuse to give my dog a ball of tap water. The waiter was useless and told me that they did not allow dogs outside even when I could see two other dogs. It was Sunday the 11th June so it was hot. The two waiters were just starring at me despite me asking two for the menu. I had to ask my friend to bring a ball of water. Is that legal....that attitude is not right in my views, especially as we were outside on the terrace. Who is the manager there ? It wasn't an issue before until today. Is it legal not to autorise water for a dog for a pub?

The food was exactly what we expected, we had a burger and a hippy bowl with chicken added. Both meals were very nice, and as expected for this style of restaurant. Although we expect the food to be good, what I always judge a place by is its customer service and Dan who served us was excellent in every respect. He was welcoming, smiled, served us promptly, checked our order and a little while after we received our meals dropped by our table to check everything was ok, just the perfect amount of service. Although good service is an expectation, you don’t always get it. The young lady who greeted and seated us when we arrived was also very pleasant although we didn’t get her name. We will definitely recommend this place based not just on the food but on the terrific service we received. We will be back.

The venue is located very close to the Liverpool Street stop. It is open for both lunch and dinner until 11pm and on Sundays until 9.30pm (which is not too obvious given that many restaurants close early). Spacious, and with plenty of seating. Both meat and vegetarian burgers all accompanied by chips. Very good and with the right portions. Fast service.
