Nellie Dean of Soho in City of London, Westminster

Great pub, I've been going to this pub for over 15 years. Last night the footpath police were rude, aggressive and at one point stopped me going into the pub for a round of drinks. No doubt their job is a difficult one, but start the conversation with politeness and cut the aggression towards your customers, simply not wanted.

The Nellie Dean of Soho was one of the stops my husband and I made while on a food tour around the Soho area. The atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly. It was definitely a bit smaller inside than I expected, but still comfortable enough to move around and it was clean, which is always a plus. We both ordered the steak and ale pie, which we absolutely loved. It came out hot and tasted great with lots of flavor. We weren't able to stay very long since we had a list of places to visit, but we enjoyed the food so much, we both agreed that we will be going back to eat here again. For that reason, I would definitely recommend giving the Nellie Dean a try!

My partner & I popped into this pub last Friday evening before having dinner at a local restaurant a few doors down on Dean Street. It’s a proper pub with a decent selection of ales, beer and a few draft ciders. It was packed outside with people enjoying their evening and inside there was standing room only; however we would definitely return as the customer service was good. Recommended.

We popped in for a drink before lunch elsewhere. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The pies looked and smelled delicious. Prices reasonable for London.

From the time you enter the snug bar area downstairs you feel the homely atmosphere, despite it being situated right in the Soho area. There is additional seating upstairs but we never went there. We spent a couple of hours on a Saturday waiting for friends before going to the Jazz club opposite and it continually filled up and emptied as people passed through, but generally there were ususally a few stools left to sit on a lot of people stood outside, which may give you the impression that it is rammed inside which it isn't. Drinks were in line with most London pubs and the staff were friendly and efficient despite being constantly busy. Tables were cleared continually by the staff. Overall impressed and will visit again when next in London. It does food but we didn't eat there.

Small traditional pub with bar / seating on 2 floors and plenty of standing room outside. Service was fast and friendly and although we didn’t eat, 2 groups on food tours came in to enjoy the pies while we we’re having our drinks.

Ho pranzato con un'ottima pie, l'atmosfera è accogliente, vivace ma allo stesso tempo tranquillo. La musica di sottofondo non è troppo alta (in altri pub è impossibile conversare a causa del volume altissimo). Lo consiglio!

Very old school pub with some tacky furnitures and polite staff deifntly goood for a soho night out!

Been down to London twice in the last month and can’t keep away from this place. It’s definitely the best pint of Guinness in London and that’s coming from someone who even has a Guinness tattoo on his back. Keep up the standard guys. Love this place

Great to be back inside bars instead of shivering in a beer garden. Always good fun in this bar, great choice of ales and prompt service

Gezellige pub met wat hardere muziek dan elders. Als ze een minder nummer draaien is dat echt jammer, maar over het algemeen erg leuk voor een drankje.

Nellie Dean is a trip back in town to Old London pub scene when pubs were the heart and soul of a community, the meeting point for business and the entertainment for the masses. The Nellie Dean is a true trip back in town yet maintaining the present day amenities and charm.

Soho pub with Pie Ministers upstairs. Treat yourself to a pint of Camden Hells with pie and mash. Don’t forget the gravy.

I've rated this as "Mid-range" in terms of price, but only because your bill will creep into double figures. For £10.50 you get a fabulous pie, mash, gravy and side dish. I had the "Blue Moo" (steak and stilton) topped with crispy shallots, and it was perfect. This was a work lunch, with people of 5 different nationalities - UK, USA, India, Spain and Thailand - and we were all agreed this was a great choice of destination.

Nice selection of beers, quite small inside and not many seats. But space to stand outside which is nice in the sun,

Did not go in the evening although I would expect the place to be packed with Londoners drinking beer. Instead went for a late lunch, ordered two pies: chicken and mushroom and beef and ale pie. Both served with gravy and a choice of side dish. We tried mash potatoes and mac n cheese. Everything was delicious, a typical pub meal. Good selection of beers.

A quiet Sunday night turned into a really enjoyable evening in this traditional London pub. Diverse range of customers- all you would want for a typical London evening.

Definitely one of the fixtures in the changing world of Soho. This a typical noisy, crowded Soho pub, particularly packed on this occasion which was the night before St Patrick's Day and also before the big Six Nations rugby union clash between England and Ireland. Good selection of beers. Been here many times before and will be again in the future.

Volevamo cenare con un serio fish and chips e in questo classico pub abbiamo penso trovato il meglio. Intanto il locale pulito e bene organizzato con personale gentilissimo per un servizio veloce e ok. Fish and chips strepitoso, senza tracce di olio, ben cotto, patate rustiche comprese, tutto accompagnato da un paio di birre saporite seduti comodamente in tranquillità. Sorpresi dall'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Dobbiamo ritornare e lo consigliamo.

La Nellie Dean ha estado allí desde que tengo memoria, y siempre ha sido muy parecida: está abarrotada, ruidosa y es una constante de la vida de Soho. Es fácil de encontrar, en la esquina de Dean Street y Carlisle Street, y siempre lleno, ya sea con los bebedores del almuerzo o los juerguistas después del trabajo. Cuánto puede durar

Classico pub inglese, uguale a tanti altri, ma serve delle ottime pie (quelle di Pieminister). Ottimo per un pranzo veloce mentre si è in giro per Londra.

Este es un pub animado en el Soho, popular entre los juerguistas después del trabajo. Hay una buena selección en el bar y muchos asientos arriba también. Sirven aquí pasteles de ministro que, aunque simplemente se recalientan con puré, ¡siguen siendo buenos! El mac y el queso era sorprendentemente bueno también! Un buen lugar para una cerveza después del trabajo.

We came here for pies and stayed because the staff was so great, enjoyed several pints and a few shots. Josh was very friendly and knowledge of the menu.

Great to come here with friends and have a few drinks. Very vibrant part of town with an excellent pie and mash shop upstairs

Паб. Просто паб с пирогами. С очень вкусными пирогами! Очень приветливый персонал, приятные цены и ненавязчивая музыка.

Tuvimos una experiencia muy agradable aquí. El personal era amable y acogedor, la 'moo 'pastel era delicioso puré de patata y la era de ensueño. . . . . Tan delicioso. La comida era un precio justo, y una porción justa! Sólo una razón es porque mark atracado la música estaba muy alta y el entorno protegido no cómoda. Sin embargo, dijo que estábamos en un pub, así que ¿qué se puede esperar! Pequeño pub acogedor perfecto en el centro de la ciudad! !

Este es un pub en el Soho y menos turística, bien merece una visita. Tiene dos pisos. Mientras la planta baja es un típico pub con gente principalmente de pie en el piso superior es en mi opinión mejor y mejor tener algo de comida. Selección de bebidas es bueno, pero nada especial. Es la provisión de alimentos pero Pieminister desafortunadamente yo no tenía hambre ya que tienen, al menos en Bristol - el mejor tartas. Si vuelvo, y los pasteles son tan buenos como en Bristol me cambiará a 5 *

Precioso pub en el centro de Londres. El edificio ha sido de reformas durante varios años somit es genial verlo terminado y ya no rodeado de andamios.

Un pequeño paraíso de su estilo inglés en Londres! Creo que éramos los únicos ingleses en el lugar cuando la visitamos. El personal es encantador, los demás clientes eran asiduos y gente (obviamente, algunos eran recibidos por nombre). Excelente y buena selección de tartas de cerveza y vino. Una auténtica experiencia de pub inglés.

Para la hora del té llamado en el otro día. El pub estaba bastante lleno y nos apetecía un bocadillo, así que nos fuimos a dos de su selección. Mi esposa tenía moo y puré tuve el matador. El mío era muy sabroso con crujientes dulces, pero la carne estaba dura. Mi esposa era sabroso con zanahorias cebollas y poco más en la salsa - claramente deficiente en el departamento de carne. Nos habíamos ido arriba permitió' como el bar de la planta baja era abundante. Habíamos pedido algunos guisantes blandos, que descubrimos eran un poco seca, pero nuestro 'camarero' discontinua fuera de la barra de arriba sin preguntarnos si todo estaba bien o si queríamos algo más. Buscamos el vinagre, pero ninguno estaba a la vista. Pensamos que él volvería rápidamente, pero él sólo no así como nos estaban terminando nuestra última bocados. Irónicamente vino a nosotros y preguntó si todo estaba bien, un poco tarde y me indicó que nos habría gustado algunos vinagre, pero era un poco sin sentido. Yo también le recordé que podría haber estado bien para preguntar cómo estaban las cosas antes de desaparecer por 10 minutos, y no hay otro miembro del personal presente. Cuando salimos del pub había otros dos hombres jóvenes detrás del bar de abajo. Nos sonreímos como bajamos las escaleras y caminamos por ellos. Ni nos devolvía ni decir gracias por nuestro exclusivo o dándonos la bien para el resto del día. Punto tomado, sirven cerveza, comida promedio razonable y no dar mucha satisfacción al cliente un pimiento sobre más de porque su encargo sin duda será bastante transitorio en la naturaleza. No regresaré.

Nel cuore di Soho, al piano terra si beve, al primo piano si mangia. E siccome si chiama Pieminister, si mangiano pies: i tipici pasticci di carne o pesce in crosta inglesi. Qui sono ottimi e poco costosi (6 sterline l'uno) e potete accompagnarli con purè. Tipico, ottimo, economico, what else?

A nice little British pub, with a chilled vibe, good music! Serving cold beer for a good price and a range of award winning pies!

This was our local when we stayed in Soho. What a great pub for vegetarian pies and a pint. Right across the street from the Soho Theatre, it is perfect for a pre-show drink or dinner. A lively meeting place on the weekend with a good crowd.

We were trying to visit the Toucan Pub, but it was closed for the Holiday. However, Nellie Dean's "appeared" right across the street, so we visited. Nice little pub, friendly wait staff, and good food. What more could you ask for? Definitely try it. We'll go back.

Made a point of going here as enjoyed the last time when we were in London. Neither of us enjoyed as much. Gravy lukewarm which spoilt the meal.

We reserved the small upstairs restaurant for about 20 of us during a weekday lunchtime. Great venue for larger groups. Food is well priced pies £6 mains £2. I had traditional fish pie (no pastry) which was fabulous with a side of mushy peas for £9. There was plenty of fish, nice sauce, creamy mash - will revisit for the pie!We had a variety of drinks, decent wine list, well priced for the area.The pub is very rustic with a mix of clientel from old locals to business men and tourists. Great friendly bar staff.A great well priced venue!

Had a lovely couple of hours watching the rugby with food and a pint. It's quite a small place but cute. The Vegetarian pie I had was very nice (Heidi) with mash pots and Red wine and onion gravy. Would visit again for sure!

Ценителям и любителям пивной культуры - отличный выбор пива и еды! Имейте в виду - вечером в пабе битком, лучше заранее забронировать столик!

Birreria stile british, pie di vario genere molto buone e ben presentate! Personale gentile, ambiente accogliente...

Nice smaller selection of ales and lagers in very simple yet comfortable setting. Bar staff were very engaging and we ordered up two excellent and good value pies. Definitely going back!

Popped in here for a few beers post our visit to the Comedy Club, very friendly and rounded our evening off perfectly.

Ultimately part of the Alan Sugar Property Empire, the lessee's of this lovely little pub hewn't had their heads turned. A busy pub at peak periods, it is an enduring Soho stalwart for advertising/ media/ artistic types, a smattering of executives, locals and a soupçon of tourists alike. No nonsense food, largely pieminster à la carte with real ales mark it out from its tourist fish 'n' chips competitors. A mature clientele gives way to a young, vibrant crowd at lunch and evenings. Famous for its "mind your head" warning for the stair descent to the gent's toilets. A cheerful bar staff aims to please all comers under the stewardship of the perma tanned and ever charming manager Bruno.

Leuke pub met een steenkoud glas bier, goed verzorgd. Eten hebben we niet gedaan maar zag er goed uit. Typische engelse pub

Enjoyed a traditional pie and Guinness. Well worth it. Friendly staff. Nice quiet and relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend.

This restaurant was right down the block from our hotel, so convenient. Little warning: crowd spills into the street on weeknight evenings, but we did not mind this. Drinks are priced reasonably and staff is engaging.

Lovely pies with mash and peas. Also has choice of cheese and onion on the side. We thought it was odd but it really worked. Nice wine but it should have been at £6.50 a glass. Would have scored more but food could have been hotter for my liking.

We were recommended here from our hotel staff as we asked for a great place that served pies. Our family had wanted to try them as they are a staple of English food. We were seated upstairs from the pub and ordered 3 beef and ale pies with a chicken pie. We ordered each with the meal and had a side of either mashed potatoes or peas. The pies came in about 10 minutes and they were very good. There was plenty of beef in the beef pies, but my wife stated that the chicken pie did not have very much chicken, but it was still very good.We are glad we stopped by as we wanted to try the pies and we had a few more around London after trying them here.

Great atmosphere, cold beer and tasty gourmet pies! This place does get quite busy on an evening and often spills out onto the street.

I was invited by a 'media type' friend to meet him and others here and although I have been down Dean Street many times I have never been in here for a drink. We met at 5.30 and it was already busy. It has a lively friendly atmosphere here and they do a decent pint - though expensive. I had lime and soda but there was a little confusion fron one barmaid as to what this actually consisted of - yes the clues in the name. The crowd in here is very much media - which is very different from the crown I usually drink amongst in the City. Watch out for the steps down to the mens toilets though - the headroom is not great and lots of expletives can be heard. Also the toilets are a bit reminiscent of the public loos in your local park - could do better!

A very cool pub in the heart of SoHo. The perfect place to enjoy a few pints and watch a football match. Nice tap selection and a good atmosphere.

We were staying at The Nadler in Soho without a bar & this typical London boozer was at the end of the street. Busy pub, great atmosphere & friendly staff.They have a sensational looking gourmet pie menu, which I would have sampled if I was hungry. Good pub.

Their meat pies...yummy....nice bartenders!Just around the corner from The Nadler Soho!Gets a fun crowd each evening!

Called in here for a quiet mid week drink with a colleague, as we were in the area. Downstairs was a bit noisy so we sat upstairs where we ended up buying pie and mash each after being lured by the smell. Fantastic pie and mash. Great value for money. Will definitely call in again.
