Pride of Paddington in City of London, Westminster

Had some drinks and bite to eat, after an hour an Asian server just literally brought the card machine and said “you need to pay” when the other gent who took our order said we can stay have food and drinks, brought our drinks on the table with no problem”. Bear in mind, the other guy did not even show us our bill to check, we even said we want another round of drinks and he just said you need to pay now and go to the bar if you want more drinks. This is ridiculous service, very rude staff and unbelievable. Management should look into this. Just how crazy experience that was. We always come here for drinks most of the time and were treated like this. Unbelievably disgusting behaviour.

I had a single room which was just big enough to not be cramped. The bed was clean, comfortable and the bathroom spotless. It was a faux Victorian style and generally functioned well. The shower was a drench type with the head approx 6'4" from the tray with plenty of room. It warmed up very quickly even though it's December. My only minor criticisms are that the toilet seat was very loose and the little radio didn't work. My message about check in times was not replied to but my concerns were quickly solved on arrival with arrangements for storing bags and checking in/ access after midnight. All the rooms are accessed via staircase. There is a little noise from the trains but I didn't need earplugs. I think it was reasonable value given the excellent location. I had eggs Benedict in the bar in the morning which was also good value and quality. I'd happily stay here again.

My first experience dining in a British pub and it was excellent! Tasty food and great service.

I LOVE THE PRIDE OF PADDINGTON!!!! Can’t wait to stay there again next year!!!!!

Very close to Paddington station and the room was great for the price.

Great double room with ensuite/small refrigerator, and the availability was very good. The room is a block from Paddington Station, so the subway trains are felt through the floor during the day, but not disturbing at night.

I had a very positive experience at the Pride of Paddington. The room was super cute, clean, and comfortable - fully equipped with everything I needed. The food in the pub was also delicious - I ate there for dinner and then breakfast. A little noisy, but that's to be expected with being so near the train station. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Rigtig next to Paddigton station and good bus conections into central London. Rooms were clean with good beds and even a mini fridge. Booked with breakfast.... lovely being able to choose from the menu. Staff were friendly and helpfull.

Very clean and bed very comfortable

Complete chaos...... ordered and payed two breakfast and one coffee.... One breakfast came... Once it was sorted nice breakfast and pub

First visit, came for a quick drink. Close to Paddington. Service was.... short and brusk. Usual London prices. Atmosphere is people having lots of drinks close to Paddington.

The review is about the hotel pub. The food is good but the service is terrible. Slow attention (we had to call her to be attended to) and fast to collect (a little more and they kick us out)...

Had fish and chips with my son there yesterday. Quick service and a nice old worldly charm. Fish was excellent - not soggy with a crispy batter - perfectly cooked. Chips was also better than the usual but unfortunately the same could not said about the mushy peas.

Nice, old fashioned railway themed pub. Really busy Tuesday night but the staff were accommodating and helpful. Rather small menu, but the food served was fresh, hot and lovely

Food and Drinks very slow and expensive. Staff were truly rude and sharp

Food was average, worst thing was they played Taylor swift songs consecutively all night. I thought it was a pub, not a self help book club for middle-class teenage girls??

Poor service the staff were rude food was cold 12% service change rip off didn’t get the order right Staff didn’t no what was going on

Fantastic hotel! I wasn’t sure when I was booking the night before but I’ve loved staying here! The room was spotless and all newly refurbished! The staff were helpful. The bed was comfortable and it’s such a convenient venue-only 1 minute walk from station! Breakfast is also really lovely. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in London!

Stopped for Lunch while in the area. Great pub very clean and well looked after with a great selection of beers. Fantastic burger for lunch. Wonderful

Best pub near Paddington Station

Pleasant pub and staff. BUT ONLY TAKE CARD PAYMENTS. Shame on you. Many of us pub users,especially who have travelled a distance to come to Paddington want to use cash which I feel is quite normal and reasonable. So this establishment needs to adapt for both preferences

The rudest staff in all of London. We were completely ignored. The tables outside are dirty and are not cleared. The highlight is that there is a QR code stuck to the table that says Order&Pay. After scanning you just go to the website to reserve a table or room

Proper english Pub with good beer and the food was good as well. During our first visit (we sat inside and it was possible to order on the table) the service was good - litte bit slow but good. On the second day we sat outside and the service was horrible. You were not able to order on the table, nor using the ordering app. The empty plates and glasses stood on the table for ages. It depends really on the time when you are in.

We recommend!!!!! A cozy place where the locals come. Good atmosphere, good service and good food.

Recently stayed here on first time trip to UK - room was described as cosy double & it hit the mark. Cosy but comfortable with recent refurbishments making our stay very enjoyable. Great pub, good food, across the road from Paddington Station however very little noise apart from the occasional rumble from the Tube. Would stay here again... not everyones cup of tea but it would recommend it for location!

A great pub. 15 years between visits and it is unchanged.

Just called in for drinks, very clean and staff were friendly. Cannot fault the service.

Excellent fish & chips, cooked to perfection. Tender fish, crispy crust. Homemade sauce. Good expérience.

Cozy pub, food is fine for pub food.

Very delicious fish and chips, nachos... very well served.... an emblematic pub, to return

Lovely pub good food nice staff

Popped in for dinner as we were waiting for the next off peak train home. Very noisy music making people shout to make them selves heard above which was annoying. We asked for small drinks but were brought (and charged for) large which was also annoying. The beer was in short measures, well below a pint but the food was freshly prepared and very nice. The staff were pleasant but poor command of English or just taking advantage of out of town visitors. Food was charged with a 12.5 % service charge which I refused to pay but was charged anyway, the automated payment system doesn’t seem to understand the word no. The food was really really good, the beer was in good condition albeit short measures.

Really tasty breakfast very close to Paddington station with a big plus of having the train times and platforms on a tv and as it is only a 3 min walk you don’t need to leave til the last minute to catch your train. We will definitely visit again.

This is strictly about the pub, didn't stay here, didn't eat here. The location is perfect, just outside of the Paddington station Elizabeth Line entrance, it is on a cozy corner, not as busy as others. Good draft selection, stay to the basics that is what always say. There are outdoor seats where you can people watch and enjoy the good weather when you have it. The pints are about £6.50 - £ 7.50, not bad.

Great location when meeting a friend when I was staying at Heathrow airport. Friendly staff, nice beers, food was OK. I had the burger and it was reasonable (but nothing special).

Nice people and friendly service!

Typical busy pub next to a busy railway station. Nothing distinguishable about the place; has indoor and outdoor street seating. Serves all the regular drinks. Price slightly higher than other pubs around.

Great location and nice vibe but 7.15 for a Guinness is a rip off

Had mega breakfast here before travelling home to the west country.

Unfortunately a very sad experience. We sat down with my son in a half-empty restaurant and fairly quickly ordered chicken wings, nachos and a son burger. The nachos and wings came quickly, I finished and the burger was nowhere to be found. 5, 10, 15 minutes, nothing, service only in the other part of the restaurant. In the end, despite the fact that he saw his son's cutlery, the barman asked if we would like something else, we remembered with food. Ah, surprise, not ordered...error. Ok, he excused himself and went to the kitchen. We immediately ordered another drink. Nothing else happened until after 10 minutes he came to check what kind of burger we wanted...after a while he came again that it would only take 5 minutes. No drinking anywhere. It took another 15!! minutes, but when he brought the drink he said it would be on his account for the long wait. Ok, forgiven for the moment. The burger arrived in another 10 minutes. Then this bartender disappeared. I'll cut it short, we waited 55 minutes for 1 burger in a half-empty restaurant. We quickly paid so that we could arrange something else, unfortunately I found out from the bill outside that they also charged the drink that was supposed to be on their account.

Great place! Very local and accessible. Friendly staff!

Entspannter Pub mit einer guten Karte! Eher zufälligerweise auf den Pub gestoßen und wegen Regenschauer einfach mal reingegangen. Cooler alter Pub, lecker Ale Bier und leckere Speisen. Sitzplätze draußen sind Holzbänke. Netter Laden!

Booked two night break for myself and husband. We were attending a concert in Wembley on the second night and I trained in St Mary's and hadn't been back since I left in 2003. We arrived early and couldn't check in as rooms were not ready but we were able to leave our case . When we did check in at 4pm . The room was spotlessly clean , nicely decorated . Bathroom was nice - water was nice a hot with lovely shampoo, conditioner and shower gel . The mattress on the bed was unbelievablely comfortable but sadly the pillows were awful with minimal stuffing and no support. The bar atmosphere was OK staff were dutiful and carried out their tasks but never developed much of a rapport and didn't go out of their way with help . We paid £474/E538 for 2 nights with no breakfast which was expensive for what we got . We ate the first night - average tasting but lovely and hot in fairness Location is its biggest asset

We booked here for 3 nights. The room was over $400CDN a night…. But figured it was London. Our room at top of pub..57 steep windy steps to a small room. Drag your luggage up yourself….no help offered or available. We are 70 year old women. No one came in 3 days for any housekeeping….towels etc. Stayed for a Sunday Roadt Beef dinner. They forgot the order…. We had to ask for it. It was tough to eat….and they then added a tip!!!

Friendly bar close to the station, great food and drinks

Good vibrant atmosphere. Nice selection of drink's. Only thing that let this place down was the appalling smell and cleanliness of the toilets both male and female.

The food and coffee were nice but the staff were downright rude and abrupt and unfriendly . I had to go off looking for the condiments my self as well . Will never be going back here ! You really need to up your game pride of Paddington with the staff as they couldn’t care about the customers .

Rip off service charge of 12.5% on food. If you are going to impose a service charge customers expect a proper dining area with tablecloths and waitress service. If we have to order at the bar and sit at a bare table we expect to pay the bare price.

Decor and atmosphere very fitting for the area. Staff were bubbly and it was busy but service was in a timely manner.

Cash should be taken in this pub . Cash is Traditional surely???

I writing a review with a 1-star rating because I experienced what I believe to be racial discrimination. I walked in today for the first time and went to the bar. I asked the bartender if I should order at the bar. She kindly told me if I am ordering food then sit at any table, the menus are on the table, and her colleague will come take my order. I took a table, took my time to look at the menu, then set it down. A woman, whom I thought at first to be the waitress was interacting with a patron who sat two table to my left, about 5 feet away. But she joked and conversed with the patron and I thought maybe that's not the waitress. A young man glanced at my table and stood in front of it, looking toward the TV. I thought he was another patron. Until, he signaled to the woman who was interacting with the patron to my left and alerted her to a couple who sat down after me at a table directly in front of me, about 10 feet away. The woman said, "Oh, sorry," and went to them with her note pad. Turns out she was the waitress. As she went over there, I tried to catch her attention - I smiled and waved. We made eye contact. She proceeded to take their order. I waited. When she finished with them, I tried to catch her attention again, but she went the other away to a party sitting at a booth and took their order. Then she walked past my table to go to the computer station which was next to the patron on my left. As she walked by, I said, "May I order too?" As she walked by, she looked at me again. She kept walking and I said it again a second time, a little louder, thinking that she probably didn't hear me, as it is a pub. The table directly in front of me heard me because the lady sitting there looked at me and gave me a sympathetic smile. While the waitress entered the two orders into the computer, I caught the attention of the young man, who turned out to be a staff who set out the place settings and condiments for customers. He took direction from the waitress. But each time he looked at me, he then looked away. I waited for the waitress to finish entering the orders, looking at her to catch her attention, but she turned around and disappeared. I waited a couple more minutes and I made eye contact again with the young man who had alerted the waitress to the other customers that sat down after me. But he look away and walked away. I concluded that I was not going to be served or acknowledged. I got up and as I walked out, I stopped at the bar to tell the bartender who initially directed me to take a seat that no one took my order. She looked surprised and asked, "No one took your order?" I said no and I've been sitting there the whole time. She looked genuinely disappointed and sorry for me and said, "I'm sorry." I walked out. The only conclusion I have for this experience is I was the only Asian in the room and everyone else was white. The three parties that the waitress tended to around me were white. I was skipped and others were served. They noticed me sitting there. I wasn't rude to them because I didn't even get to interact with them before I was getting ignored. They were a few feet away from me, stood in front of me, walked by me, and made eye contact with me. But I was not served. And the only difference I could observe between me and the patrons the waitress and the staff helper did serve was I am Asian and the other 3 parties were white. I did not see another Asian in the pub. I was the only one. I don't normally post negative reviews even if I have a bad experience at a restaurant. But racial discrimination and racism at an establishment has to be called out. Nobody should be treated that way, to be treated as less than others based on ethnicity. I think that is shameful. I am hopeful that things can change for the better.

The bad grade is because without warning or saying anything they have charged me the maximum tip.

We had dinner there. Very average.

Can only rate the food, unfortunately not really recommended!

Fish & Chips were soooo good. The atmosphere is typical british, I liked it very much. Next to the Paddington Station. The Service was brilliant.

The pub was Great, big enough portions of food, nice music to drink all the beers that they have!! The breakfast was Grate and full! The service excellent

The best pint of Guinness served by lovely staff. Will definitely look to book a room next time in London too.

It is a very cozy place, nice live music and the best atmosphere. Take your friends or partner and go go!

Very nice place to have some food, even breakfast. You need to be sure to order dinner before 9 p.m. After you can drink only. General food, good beer.

Nice cult pub in the Paddington district. Beer was good, I can't say anything about the food...

A real English feel pub, food to order. But coming from the north the prices are way over the top. £7.10 for a pint I don't care if it's the capital or not is completely out of order. London needs to lower its price for those who are not on London wages.

Best English Breakfast I have had for a long time.

Can't really judge the food as we had a booking for 630 on Saturday evening. Arrived and managed to find our own table as noone seemed interested in helping us. We got the menus and sat there for 25 mins waiting for someone to take our order. Alas , no joy , a few others seemed to be in the same situation. So we got up to leave and mentioned to the hostess we were leaving and the reason why. She didn't seem too bothered , so adios amigos 🤷‍♂️ check my other reviews for where we went after for a super dinner 😋

Very popular pub. Serves traditional pub fayre. Has sport and train arrival and departure board. Decent choice of beer and lager. Really lovely staff. Street parking is fair and is free after 6.30pm

Great little pub centrally located.

Hello mate, thanks for reading and following along my london journey. I'm visiting from Sacramento California. . I came here to meet up my yelper friend who happened to be visiting the same time as me without planning together. My friend lives 10 minute walking distance. So I said we must be extra and get a selfie together. It's hard to meet up at home when we live so close to each other. But traveling and no planning to happened to be at the same place, it best be a priority we meet or It's a shame on you situation for not making a little time to catch up lol and have a selfie. . The pub is casual and has lots of seating. Nothing fancy like a pub you would see at other spots like a dark classy rustic vibe for a pub. What I imagine is like lots of dark woods, velvet chairs, high tops, one men drinking beers and smoking a cigar like movies lol. . It was cool though, music wasn't too loud and we just caught up on where and when we have went in london so far. Bathroom was small like all norther places, at least it's not upstairs or downstairs. . The beer I had was a light beer, bier Amstel and another london pride beer. The beer temperature isn't freezing cold like the states in london. I want it icy cold. But the beer taste so fresh and bubbly. . Again thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day. Please give me a vote if you find this review helpful. Have a lovely bloody day, cheers mate.

Good food good service both time we visited. The Sunday roast is to die for!

Good beer, nice atmosphere and close to the hotel

The train makes the building tremble every 10 minutes. The service is really minimal

Had a small table, which, half of it i gave up to a Canadian family of five so they could sit and have a meal together. After two pints of lager, i was then forced to leave as they booked the table i was then left sitting at, for someone else. No consultation or anything... no apology, explanation, or anything... just put down a table reserved sign with a time (15 minutes later). Basically, if you are not eating, they are not keen to keep the customers! I had four hours to kill and wasn't ready to eat when they wanted me to eat. Shame, really, as I then went down the road and was fed very nicely in the Fountains Abbey! Perhaps the team needs training in some customer relations etiquette... you know, ask the customer if they are eating first, would you like some menus, sir?

Very friendly and helpful staff not too expensive for a pint

Nice old fashioned pub, great place for a drink while waiting for a train, didn't eat there but food looked good

Very friendly lady behind the bar I liked it here great prices too

Located close to Paddington Station. Great place to pop in for a bevy. Great atmosphere with friendly staff

Love this place! The rooms are amazing and the location superb!

Can’t speak on the rooms as I did not stay but stopped by for a pint while in Paddington. Service was prompt and drinks were great. Nice atmosphere and friendly patrons!

Good Food, good stuff, lovely personal

Nice traditional pub right next to paddington station. Good atmosphere, it was nice to sit by the street at a table and watch people pass by and enjoy the day with a delicious beer.

We were there just over a week ago, shortly after checking into our hotel in Paddington. It's exactly what you'd imagine a typical British pub to be. The atmosphere is cool and perfect for anyone looking for that authentic pub feel. The food and beer were delicious. However, the toilet is an imposition, especially for men. They offer the option to order via an app, which we thought was pretty cool and used. However, it is advisable to reserve a table as it is usually very busy. And you should avoid the tables at the back, which are in front of the toilet, as it smells quite unpleasant there."

Excellent fish and chips, they didn't have English blonde beers, a shame. Excellent atention

I didn't stay in the rooms, so I can't comment on those, but I came in at 0730 for breakfast and had a full English. It looked amazing. It was nice, too. The only thing that let it down was that the bread was very hard and a bit cold - I couldn't cut it at all. Apart from that though, it was lovely! The staff were friendly and the music was so good! Some great tunes. The coffee was nice, too.

A nice pub right outside of the station. I only nipped in for a pint and it was very. Food looked good

Good place to have some beers. It is very busy during football time.

Tipico pub inglese, si puo' pagare solo con carta. Buonissimo l'honey roasted ham with eggs and chips , servizio veloce anche se il locale era pieno. 38 sterline in due portate con bibite. Veniteci :)

Lively bar, great wine and beer, close to Paddington station. Great service.

The waiter, do not know his name. Rude disgusting and should not be working In hospitality

Near train station always my first stop when arriving in London, good selection of drinks and reasonable prices, I look forward to my next visit!

Stopped in for a cheeky drink and snack before catching my train home. Not only is the proximity to Paddington station(a block away) a huge plus but the environment and atmosphere are very warm and welcoming, a bonus . The employees were friendly a pleasant, the food was tasty, served hot and a good value. Will definitely return when next in the area

Handy to Paddington and serve a few cask ales and draught

As expected from an authentic PUB. Great atmosphere! They were very kind to Japanese people. It was a good memory. thank you

£7.15 for an average pint of Guinness says it all.

Although the location was great being right next to the station, the rooms lacked a lot of care. They didn't do housekeeping, which isn't a big deal on its own but would have been nice to know ahead of time. However, the mirror in the room was cracked and all the sheets had weird stains on them. The double bed was two mattresses pushed together. Again not a big deal except they didn't put any sort of mattress pad on top leading to a big seam right in the middle of the bed and making it very uncomfortable. If someone rents a double bed it's a safe bet they have a partner. If someone has a partner they usually want to cuddle without messing up their back on a giant dip and crack in the middle of the bed. They say that they are committed to energy saving by having motion lights and such. Under the counter in our sink it was never caulked so you can see straight outside and all the cold air comes in. (Unfortunately I forgot to get a photo during the daylight where you can see light shining in but to the people who run it go check under your bathroom counters and you will feel a freezing breeze as well as the alleyway). I wonder how much energy they spend trying to heat that room? It was certainly always very cold. We didn't try the pub. At one point the fire alarm went off and staff were up very quickly checking so points for that. Overall I don't think we would stay there again. For how much it cost there were just way too many issues. Also for anyone who wants to stay in the future heads up there's a long windy staircase to all the rooms.

Nice enough but card only and a bit pricey for me

Had a great lunch. The food was amazing the chicken burger was cooked to perfection. Arrived quick too. Thank you to the chef

The staff were awful. They were rude and dismissive. At one point all the staff stopped serving and huddled around and were eating chips and chicken strips, licked their fingers and then served food and drinks by touching the glass people will drink out of and the plates they eat from. It was clear no manager was on as they just did their own thing.

Wonderful breakfast and the service is amazing and friendly.

The food is delicious. Very good beer.

If you want a traditional British breakfast, go to the pub. Not a culinary triumph, but just the thing itself. Of course, this time I made a big etiquette mistake and changed tea to koki... My stomach was full, this set will last you well into the afternoon.

I love this place. Nice customer service

Can't comment on the room as just went in for a pint or two, the dropped stars for service as I kept getting charged different amounts for my wifes wine, I would also say the mens toilet was broken and floor visibly covered in liquid.
