Paternoster in City of London, Westminster

Modern Youngs pub just off Paternoster Square. We went there for an early dinner and to watch the England v Scotland rugby. All the staff were polite and friendly. Daria was particularly helpful in taking our order and explaining how our deposit could be taken off our bill. The four free pints of Guinness went down well during the rugby!

Best fish and chips I have ever had, sticky toffee pudding was also amazing. Great service Thank You

Daria and Makeda were lovely and really helpful !

Great pub and lovely service! Dee was the best, very helpful and friendly and the food was delicious

Lovely atmosphere and food. Came and had some food off the Sunday menu and it did not disappoint! Had the chicken roast which was juicy and well seasoned, absolutely delicious! Had some drinks after and tried the alcohol free amaretto sour based on the bartender’s recommendation, Makeda, and it was extremely good! Wait times were short, staff were professional and friendly, and the service was immaculate! will definitely be visiting again.

Really lovely people great service particularly from Dee. Definitely coming again

Don't bother with this place unless you have 2 hours to wait for your food and enjoy rude unfriendly service. 45 mins wait for a burger and steak ? And it was cold ! And then bar staff said beer order could not be changed given original order could not be delivered as kegs were being changed. Avoid this arrogant establishment..we certainly will in future..the worst of British hospitality

Dee was a great server! Thank you so much, very hospitable, can’t wait to come again:)

Makeda was fantastic, super friendly and helpful and nice to be greeted with a warm smile ☺️ the pub itself was lovely as well

Amazing! Dee was a great server and the pub was lovely x

Today we had lunch here. The location is really nice, a mix of vintage and new. (Just, please, it was a bit cold inside) The food was really fresh, tasty and cooked very well. They have a fantastic wine list and 25 different beers. The prices are really ok.

Great service from Traveena today. Love her vibe!!

Need more servers like TRAVEENA!!!

Great service from Taja and the rest of the team. Delighted to find that the cyder battered Haddock was totally gluten free all cooked in a dedicated fryer. Staff double checked my dietary needs when ordering. The food was hot well presented and plenty of it. I will definitely revisit next time I’m in London

Taja excellent service! Thank you !

Taja was great. This is our second visit and we will certainly come again.

Very good atmosphere, typical English decoration, very clean, prices according to London.

Amazing experience best drinks and recommendations by nihars loved his service , very nice guy loved him, the drinks and srving was really nice

Such a SMALL fish and chips for over £20?!! OMG! And it’s pretty average anyway.

Good atmosphere. Convenient for St Paul's

Best drinks and servings. Cheers Nihar.

Brilliant service, lovely guy Nihar is a brilliant bar tender, recommend brilliant drinks and we had a great time, he was friendly and British

Before the Christmas holidays I came for a lovely Sunday roast! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was cozy especially with all the Christmas decorations. Daria was a gracious host and recommended a few dishes that did not disappoint!

Kid friendly place, service was friendly, food was delicious!

eleanor was an amazing host, would recommend the roast dinners!!

Eleanor was very polite and overall was a great server

An excellent Sunday roast beef served last week during our weekend. Fast service. The next day, the Apple pie was excellent. We will come back

Really rude people and she took the drink which one I haven’t finished 🤔 Also I asked here what time you closing at 6:00 she said to me 8 she came 7:40 and she was saying in 10 minutes we closing and she took the drink and deciphering doesn’t mean bcs you are the manager can be that rude I’m not your friend to talk to me like this I’m a customer! It was the bit colour lady brown skin

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and great service. We enjoyed the Christmas menu with several side dishes. The portions are large and the food well done. Dalia was our server and she was perfect. The manager also stopped by many times. It’s the perfect place for upscale casual drinks and dining.

Great service, good vibe chilled out pub, great location on the foot of St Paul's. The area is so full of character, especially around Christmas.

We come every Christmas. Lovely staff, great wines by the glass and fun atmosphere

Pub was nice although the lady with a striped shirt who managed our group’s area was incredibly hostile to our party during our Christmas event on 19 December. We pre-ordered a number of drinks and food for our large party and while they were laying the drinks out after we arrived we checked if they were bringing white wine too (which we did not know) - we were told to “give us a chance to bring it out” in a highly aggressive and unfriendly voice. Nice Christmas welcome. After telling her she was very rude she did not show her face again the rest of the night, despite being our designated server.

Had a lovely lunch always go for my favourite Caesar salad. Gave 4 stars only as it contained a lot of the main stem. Dee was our server she was polite and helpful and always smiling.

We had our Christmas party there yesterday. And everything was amazing. Great atmosphere, lovely and smiley staff. Can't recommend it enough 😘

Had a work Christmas meal there last night for 20 people. The service was amazing, don't think anyone had an empty glass for longer than a minute! Will definitely return.

Staff was very helpful ! Although we came over an hour early they accommodated and setup our tables quickly. They were always coming back checking if anyone needed drinks and they were serving us really fast despite the fact that we were a big group . Thank you Daria, Makeda, Dee, Tana and the rest of the team for a great night .

Have been visiting the Pat for a long time and the service has always been impeccable and their standards have never once disappointed! Special thanks to Ella and Dee for always being so welcoming. Daria always creates a lovely atmosphere. Highly, Recommend.

Great pub!! First time visit and will be back! 😃🍺

Had our christmas party. Good food. Very attentive and friendly staff-especially Daria. Nice atmosphere. Very enjoayble.

Manager Daria was fantastic and food was great. One of the better restaurants we were able to eat at in London with nice selection of English food.

Dee was excellent! Perfect service and looked after us very well.

They feed at 3pm!!! AJ attended to us and was very friendly, everything was very good

Came today for Christmas lunch with my work team. Very well organised Christmas, each of us had a little name card with our preorder. Our main server was Dee, she was an absolute delight - just very helpful, attentive, down to earth. Can’t praise her enough! Loved the meal- can’t speak for everyone but my three courses were delicious. Lots of wine, lots of food, a very merry time. Thank you Dee and team!! :)

Popped in for a few drinks after a work meeting. Didn't eat so can't rate food.

Large selection of alcohol, nice place and very friendly service. I recommend it 😁

The staff were very welcoming and attentive. We had the roast dinner and it was amazing, as was the service. They have a great selection of drinks and a must have cocktail list. Our waitress answered all questions and explained what we needed to know about the food and my cocktails as i do love a cocktail

We came here for lunch, Great food and service from Nihar perfect place for large groups, good selection of beers and food

Nihar looked after us so well even on a busy Saturday night. Great with the kids. Perfect after a busy day shopping in a lovely setting next to St Paul’s Cathedral.

Friendly, polite and helpful staff, particularly Dee

This is such a lovely fun ambience! Our local watering hole - Michaela is lovely!

Lovely pub 🍻 staff very helpful always pop in from time right next to St Pauls cathedral

The pub was easy to find and when we arrived, Daria was the perfect host. She was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed their food and we agreed we would return.

The Paternoster Pub has great food and is fairly well priced for central London. It's always clean and has plenty of free tables. We've been a few times and would generally be inclined to recommend friends and family. This 3-star review would be higher if not for a recent experience that was unfortunately let down by one of the Managers. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day (it happens to the best of us) as this is the first time we've seen him, but his customer service skills was lacking - to the point that we witnessed clients who were having a fairly good time, leave shortly after a blunt - borderline rude - interaction. He also slagged off a group other customers to the other staff, loud enough to be heard across the restaurant, over the music. This is two of a few examples, but ultimately, not the energy anyone wants to be around. If you're lucky to go when the other lady manager is on - you're in for a good time!

Great food, lovely staff. Friendly and great vibes. Would recommend to friends.

Best place to unwind on a Friday evening. AJ was fabulous with his customer service. He even recommended us some nice drinks. I would definitely recommend this place👍

Held a corporate casual drinks reception here after an event nearby. Super friendly staff and understanding made it really easy. Besides that great pub have been visiting over the last 15 years.

Perfect service from Daria. Delicious Food, we had fish and Chips and the sunday roast

I visited a pub near St. Paul’s today, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the manager provided outstanding service, checking in to make sure everything was perfect. I enjoyed a delicious steak sandwich, which was cooked to perfection and paired nicely with a cold beer from their impressive selection. This pub is also an excellent choice for Christmas bookings, with several private sections ideal for group gatherings. It would be a great spot for a cozy family Sunday lunch as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming pub experience in the area!

Today i came with my girlfriend to this pub and this pub's environment and vibes are so catchy. All team members are so friendly , and special shoutout to nihar who gave us good suggestions on drinks and treat us like his family. If you are coming here look for nihar he is the best person i met ever in pubs like this.

Dee and Makeda were amazing. You couldn't ask for better staff. Happy, friendly, helpful, warming and very beautiful barmaids. It's so easy to see people who don't enjoy their work. But it's also double easy to recognise people who love their job. These guys are amazing. Bravo!

Nice and cozy place with super delicious lunch and service from Regis was amazing!

WOW!! Where do i start. I recently visited Paternoster and was blown away. The food was excellent—perfectly cooked fish and chips. But the real star of the night was Traveena, my server. She wasn’t just good; she was exceptional. Anticipating my every need, her knowledge of the menu was unmatched, and her timing flawless. Traveena made me feel like royalty, turning an ordinary pub night into an unforgettable experience. If you go, make sure you ask for her—trust me, you won’t regret it!

Very good atmosphere and nice people! Had a wonderful time

Very good service and Dee has been actually the kindest waitress during my stay in London. Will definitely come back

Paternoster is a gem! My family and I enjoyed its delicious Sunday lunch and brunch menu. My sister had the vegetarian full breakfast; and my brother-in-law, the traditional English full breakfast. My sister especially enjoyed the meat substitute sausage and the sides. Two other family members had roast chicken. The chicken was roasted to perfection, very plump and juicy. The bar provided us with a great variety of drinks, including sparkling wine, mocktails and cold draft beer. The service and atmosphere are equally enjoyable. The servers were very friendly and attentive. Our food was served fresh and cooked exactly per our orders. We close to sit in the to indoor dining area, which was nicely furnished and quite comfortable. We also really enjoyed the playlist!

We were looked after by a lovely waitress called Dee. She was very helpful and brought our food to the table and had a giggle & laugh with us. Would highly recommend!

The staff were great! Very attentive, Eleanor took great care of us. And that’s not even the food! Crispy fried Haddock, Scones, sticky toffee pudding and the chicken and leek pie in a warm, inviting atmosphere wa a great London experience.

Great atmosphere, and the sticky toffee pudding was everything I wanted it to be! I also had the chicken, bacon and leeks pie. Delicious food and excellent service!

Was told I couldn't have a pint glass for the cider I ordered, because the pint glass had a different drink brand on it, Also not the greatest selection of rum. Very spacious and good quick service.

Perfect space for an after drinks social. Makeda made our event run extremely smoothly and the attention to detail and help was 100% effort from her and the other members of staff.

Great place to have a proper British lunch and the food was excellent. Nihar did a great job serving us as did his colleagues who accommodated our requests brilliantly. Will definitely come again!

Perfect drink pour from AJ - definitely coming back

AJ was our server we had a great experience and fast service

The Sunday roast was very good. Very pleasant atmosphere

Happened across this place after visiting St Paul’s Cathedral with my boyfriend. The atmosphere is that of a city pub if you go near end of working day, can be fairly empty earlier on. Is quite a large pub but I thought nicely appointed, especially noticed a well kept place on the walk downstairs to the gents. We had food and were very impressed. Even basic everyday dishes like the Chicken Escalope, which could be bland in many pubs, was very well seasoned here. Excellent meal.

Delicious food and excelent service from Eleanore. I’d recommend it 100% to everyone.

Great food and excellent service from Eleanore. Very well located site and highly recommended.

Called in for a quick pint before doing a pub walking tour that started from just down the road..good selection of drinks, I had a favourite of mine in the St Austell “Proper Job”; a well kept and enjoyable pint served. All friend had good drinks, modern feel with good staff, will come again👌

Amazing, above and beyond the call of duty service from Daria. Was both friendly and accommodating. Thank you for supporting us to have a great evening!

We had wonderful service and food! Our server, Nihar, made sure we were comfortable and gave us lovely service. Will definitely be back!

Hosted a first lunch with colleagues and Dee and Daria were superb in friendliness and service of great food and drinks. Will be back!

Great bar, beautiful cocktails and friendly service from AJ. 10/10 recommend

Great place to have drinks, food menu simple and convenient. The bartenders were nice and attentive (nihar). Will definitely come again

Taja, is a very friendly and thoughtful bartender. Wonderful vibe and a great pub overall.

Loved everything about it! The place, the vibe, the staff and of course the food! And even prices are great. Thank you Daria🙂

food was so yummy and service was quick! The staff here are great, but I want to give a special shout out to Taja!! She made us all feel so welcome, was very attentive, friendly, and funny! overall a great experience😄

Went for a Sunday Lunch with some friends Great food and surprisingly kid friendly. A bit pricey, but everything around that area is

We had the best Sunday Roast, and Dee, our waitress, made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, and offered great recommendations. The roast was perfect - tender meat, crispy potatoes, and fluffy Yorkshire puddings. Dee’s exceptional service really stood out, making it a 5-star visit all around. Will definitely be back!

The rump of beef was spot on, and the oat latte was perfect. Dee took great care of us—really friendly and attentive. The whole place has such a warm, welcoming vibe. Definitely recommend!

Visiting from Canada. This is nicely located near to St Paul's, well configured as a place to eat and has a very pleasant atmosphere. The food is good and portions are substantial but well balanced in content. The service is great, and if you come across a server called Dee you've found a gem - helpful, gives straight advice and has a delightful sense of humour. I highly recommend the Paternoster for lunch.

Makeda was extremely warm and welcoming, we had a large group and she worked hard to fit us in on a busy night. After we had been let in seated and first served, she continued to work hard continuously to ensure we were met with the best service and that we never waited to be seen at the bar… anyway forget all the waffle, Makeda was bloody brilliant and made our night!

Came to this pub in St Paul’s and met the bar lady called Dee. She was so friendly and welcoming. Me and my son needed a place to sit down and eat and she made us feel so welcome. She was lovely and so accommodating and said absolutely no issues. I just want to say Dee your so lovely and we will 100% come back to this pub just because of you. Keep smiling. Well done Dee hope your managers are watching as your ace. Just to add lovely pub, great location and great atmosphere.

Quick pre-dinner drink. Lovely pub, cool atmosphere and Friday vibe.

My experience here was divine! I was served by a lovely girl named Taja, she was impeccable and the service was great. They also had great non-alcoholic options. Loved my time here, 5 stars overall!

I really loved my experience here, I was served by a lovely girl named Taja and she made my time here great The food and drinks were amazing and I knew they were going to be good but they exceed my high expectations. Overall great place, 5 stars!!

Great local bar to work. Always an atmosphere on a Thursday and Friday night. Good prices and good is good too

Not usually one to review but the service I received at the premises was second to none. A special mention must be made for Dee who helped me with my food order and also saved me from embarrassment when a few drinks spilled on my table. Dee was there instantly cleaning up "our mess" with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. Her energy and charisma made my day and will definitely be back whenever in the area.

Great reception, welcoming and friendly. Taking care of my family Thanks to you

Dee was an awesome server. While I live in England, im American and we’re very big on hospitality. I felt right at home! She had great and honest recommendations. I would recommend the burger and an old fashioned. Great experience overall!

Makeda is really pleasant and attentive when serving. No ask seems to annoy her
