Pivot British Bar & Bistro in City of London, Westminster

average Sunday roast - we did the 4 persons, and didn't think it was good value - they only tell you afterwards it's unlimited veg.

Amazing food and flawless experience

Tourist trap. £6 for a weak tasteless hot chocolate

Great vibes, delicious food, excellent service! Highly recommended 🌟

Came here for the Sunday Sharing Roast- everything was fab! Service was really good too!!

Love this place so much! This was my second visit and I can't get enough. I came for the bottomless Sunday Roast this time and it was delicious, the cauliflower cheese was amazing! Great service too. Looking forward to coming back :)

Found this hidden restaurant in Covent Garden this afternoon. I had a burger that was absolutely delicious and super juicy. I loved the food, and the service was amazing. I’ll be back soon!

Had high hopes but was duped by influencers and their paid for posts. As soon as we sat down we were told when we had to leave by. Had the Sunday roast for 4. It came with 4 roast potatoes, 4 Yorkshire puddings, a small bowl of cauliflower cheese, cabbage and 4 carrots. Asked for more of the sides and got looked at with a stare.. 20 mins later 6 more potatoes, 4 carrots and a bowl of cabbage arrived. Service charge at 15% £8 a pint and £4 for a can of Cola. Oh and they wouldn’t accept my cash to settle the bill, it had to be card payment. Never again.

Had the sharing roast from Pivot. The atmosphere and the service were both good. However the food was second to none… Tender meats and great selection of side dishes which was a complimented to the meat!!! Will be back for seconds!! Great value for money 👍🏻

If there was less than one star, the style would have been poor, and we would have told them we wanted to have coffee. They would have placed us at a bar table, but the style was bad and the cup was dirty. I don't advise

Central location with very good views. The staff was very friendly and took great care of us. The food was delicious but in my opinion they lack a little more variety in the main dishes. The price is expensive but if you go with a fork, they will give you a discount.

Absolute worst roast dinner i’ve ever had £29 for a roast dinner made with frozen yorkshire puddings, hair in the food, pigs in blankets with no bacon and stone cold roast potatoes. Do not go here with high expectations!

We went for a Sunday roast, unfortunately it was one of the worst times I’ve had at a restaurant in a while. We were a a walk-in in so appreciated that there would be a wait for our table, and had a drink whilst we waited. The lady that seated us was really lovely and had great service throughout. After we were seated it took a long time for a server to come and take our order. Our food took a long time to come once we’d ordered it. My food had a hair in it so I returned it, it took a while for my food to come back and when it did I wasn’t happy with what I received. On my first plate the piece of fish was cooked well and a well presented piece. On the second plate the piece of fish was very small and at £29 a plate I wasn’t happy with what I received, it was also not cooked well. The pigs in blankets were also not good and had to be replaced, however instead of making a fresh plate the kitchen put some new ones on top of the old plate. My roast potato was frozen on the inside and after taking a trip to the toilet, I had a look at the kitchen and saw lots of frozen potatoes and Yorkshire pudding (aunt Bessie’s style). I wasn’t offered a drink whilst I waited for my replacement meal and the waiter I was speaking to at the time was not particularly helpful and wasn’t very good at dealing with a complaint. We were offered a free dessert which was nice of the staff but we did not take it. We appreciated that our bill was was amended however as someone that manages a venue I was not very impressed by our experience. When we left the manager apologised for our experience which was nice of him. I would probably not return however appreciated the staffs efforts to rectify the situation. Whoever runs the kitchen needs to sort out their issues, the pigs in blankets could’ve been made better by a five year old. The fact you would even serve something like that means the standards throughout their kitchen are probably similar, I would never let anything like that leave my kitchen. I heard other tables complaining about their meals though did not talk to a waiter. I imagine this review won’t make much difference as you’re in Covent Garden though I would not recommend the Sunday roast at all.

The only meal in London we had to ask to have the service charge removed from our bill. The service was non-existent and the staff seemed pretty miserable to be there. Roast was tough but rest of the meal was decent. Restaurant was so loud we couldn’t hear each other. Overall really disappointing and don’t recommend.

Went for a pre show dinner. In the heart of Covent garden. It was quite pricey and not a lot on the menu. Unfortunately, a mouse 🐁 ran across the floor distressing our friend, the waitress saw it as well. They took the service charge off the bill as compensation

Nice drinks. The chicken as a main was very good. One is vegetarian and had Ratatouille which was nice but it would have been nice with another choice as well. Also had some British cheese, would have been good to be told what kind of cheese it was as one felt like Brie so was a bit confused. Food and drinks was of good quality and atmosphere is quite good as well.

Typical English rustic place! We ate the "Sunday Roast" which was really well presented and excellent!

Dire. Attractive website, but disappointed by the whole experience. Very short menu, odd vegetarian selection (ratatouille served with nuts?!), average and over-priced food, expensive wine, sticky tables, plastic banquettes, no atmosphere and empty by 8pm on a Friday night. A poor choice on my part, and an experience I won't repeat and wouldn't recommend.

Reservation made by The Fork with discount. Very good experience, very good meal, friendly waitress and the place is charming. We recommend.

I arrived as a walk-in and was seated promptly, the staff who were all very nice and very accommodating sat me in the back with some other guests. The place is a bit small but very cozy. I had the Bees Knees Gin & Tonic which was quite tasty and I started off the meal with the Burrata and Heritage Tomato Salad which was a delightful starter then came the reason I showed up in the first place, the Beef and Bone Marrow Pie, this dish is amazing and I enjoyed every bite. I even waited a bit like having an intermission to see if it would taste just as good not as hot and it most certainly did. I would defiantly go back just for this dish alone.

Good service. Great food just don't expect American portions.

Staff was amazing and so nice. Overall we found the food underwhelming with the exception of the cauliflower. Very expensive but a lot of food. Wouldn’t recommend for a Sunday roast.

The fish and chips is a no, the batter was bad and there was more batter than fish — very greasy. The chicken Caesar salad was so so good. A nice place to chill and relax, but don’t get the fish and chips. The chips were decent though.

We were at the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and sat outside. The service was OK, but the food wasn't great. The Caesar salad consisted of a cold piece of chicken breast and 4 whole leaves of lettuce piled next to it. Next to it were two toasted white bread chips the size of a coin and on top was a sauce that tasted like mayonnaise. I've never seen anything so loveless. It didn't taste good either. Unfortunately. The whole thing cost 16 pounds.

My family arrived without a reservation,but outstanding service by Suman a big credit to her she is knowledgeable,honest.Amazing fish and chips.We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here.My first time here,but will not be the last. What a first class establishment.Well done “Suman”.

Big up to Suman, she was perfect with us, prompt, kind and efficient - lovely place for dinner.

Thank you for a gorgeous afternoon after seeing celebrating a birthday food atmosphere and Sumon was so lovely taking care of us throughout Thank you we loved it

Diana she makes the best coffee

Diana is really sweet. She always serves great drinks. I loved her service and personality.

Appaling service by bored staff who had to be asked several times to bring wine, clear table etc. When questioned, one said they'd been too busy. But they were just sitting in the corridor blocking the access to the toilets upstairs. Food was brought out inconsistently. A plate of chips 15 minutes before the main it was supposed to go with. The menu in house does not reflect the one online. Food was mediocre. Beef pie was mushrooms in thin gravy. Totally overpriced. Seems only to be there to sting passing Covent Garden customers that won't be back again. Avoid

Very lovely place friendly fab food lush food will definitely be coming back. Diana Adam all well done !!!

Place was busy but our server, John, made sure we didn’t have to wait too long for anything. Really friendly service!
