Today we had a wonderful dinning experience at The Porcupine and the service was just exceptional! Our waiter truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. From the moment we sat down, he greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcomed. The combination of delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service made for a fantastic evening. I highly recommend The Porcupine (Nicholson’s pub) and will definitely be returning!

This venue has a lively pub atmosphere on the ground level, while the upper level offers a calmer dining room. We were in search of a peaceful spot and chose the upper level. The lower level was quite crowded, and it was challenging to find a seat. However, we had a lovely evening in the upper area. The food was delicious and satisfying in terms of variety.

At the porcupine I definitely had the typical English pub experience every European dreams about. The atmosphere is really warm and cosy, with live music downstairs too. The food is good and tasty and not too expensive, considering the location of the pub in the city centre. The service was really appreciated, especially Varum Dave, a very kind, friendly but still professional guy, who made our stay at the pub so special. I’d definitely recommend checking the porcupine out.

A short walk from our rooms and nearer still to Smithfield Market (open 2 am to 10 am, for those wishing to buy their meat earlier in the day), The Viaduct Tavern often is compared to the Princess Louise in the sumptuousness of its decor. But it is more renown as a true Gin Palace, where the list of gin and tonics runs to several pages (we were introduced to a Classic G&T, No. 3), the ice chipped from a glistening block of slowly melting ice. The magnificently foliated red ceiling, which variously has been described as beaten copper or tin, plaster or stucco, actually is Lincrusta, whose inventor changed his formulation for linoleum so it could be applied to walls and ceilings. Downstairs, if Jasmine has the time to show you, is a coal cellar, the hole in the ceiling, the opening through which it was poured from street level. (They’re not the cells of Newgate or a debtor’s prison but no less interesting for that.) Indeed, being able to see the casks from which the Fuller’s London Pride was being pulled is a treat in itself. If you intend to eat there, the ham and cheese toastie is especially good. And, if you also intend to have wine, certainly more than one glass, consider ordering the Saint Marc Sauvignon and taking the unfinished bottle with you. You’ll also want to reserve a seat, which The Viaduct does admirably well. On Thursdays, the busiest day of the week when patrons stand shoulder to shoulder, shouting over one another to be heard, you probably should retreat to Table 5 in the corner, a little nook that offers some refuge from the office workers prematurely celebrating the end of the week. We went there every other evening—always wanting the last experience of the day to be at The Viaduct—a feeling made possible by Jasmine and Sergio (who welcomed us so warmly on our first visit, when we had arrived in London only two hours earlier), Victor and Paige.

Decent pub with staff who know how to pour a pint. It’s usually busy with the after-work crowd, tucked away in the backstreets between Blackfriars and St. Paul’s. A nice break from the more touristy spots nearby whilst still having a good ambiance. There’s a wide range of beers on tap and some cool artwork and history on the walls. Definitely worth popping in for a pint or two if you’re in the area. Guinness at time of review was £6.75.

I’ve lunched here many times & have always rated it as an overall good experience. Sadly on this occasion (5:45 sitting) I found it extremely noisy, celeriac starter smothered in oil, coq au vin delicious flavours although lacking in quantity of meat. The 15% ‘discretionary’ service charge is non adjustable (I wanted it changed to 10%). Disappointing as I was entertaining a friend who hadn’t been before 😕.
