Nicest atmosphere, great coffee. Friendly staff.

It was great here Great pub great beer and aayushi serve us Must go

Nice quick stop, pleasant staff and great selection of drinks. Food was lovely and served at a reasonable pace. Would recommend

The ladies' lavatories were absolutely disgusting, I've worked at Glastonbury Festival, and I've never seen facilities that were that bad! Hence why it gets 1 star. Definitely avoid! 🤢🤢

Great London Pub best place for me to relax before going to Luton 😁great english breakfasts. After a flight and journey from airport it's at my bucket list on the first place😁 It's a place with soul😁 great helpful Staff❤️

THIS PUB TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIEVES If you value your belongings, stay far away from this place. I came here for a quick meal with two friends, expecting a relaxed afternoon. Instead, I left feeling violated and furious. A woman entered the pub, pretending to beg for money. At the time, I didn’t realize her real intention—she used a paper sign to discreetly cover my phone and walked away with it. She was the only person who came near me, and I have no doubt it was her. But here’s what’s truly shocking: when I reported it to the staff, they casually admitted that she’s a ‘regular customer’ and that many customers have had their valuables stolen. Their excuse? "We can’t stop her from coming in." So, let me get this straight—this pub knowingly allows a known thief to prey on customers, time and time again, and does nothing to protect them? That’s beyond negligence—it’s outright indifference. If you don’t want to leave this place robbed and frustrated, I strongly suggest you go elsewhere.

great food., great beer, great place, great people!thank you!

Unfriendly staff, cold food, zero service. Make sure you walk passed this place, a lot of better places nearby that DO offer great service and food. Keep away from this place.

Great service lovely personality

Amazing atmosphere great staff love the pub always a great laugh esepcially the wonderful blonde waitress called madison

Excellent pub. They serve meals here.

I went here last night for a couple of beers. I finished it off because I felt unsafe. There is this two guys on the opposite table. The bald guy, keeps staring at me like a watchdog waiting to attack. As an asian decent, and first time here in London, thought he must be a skinhead wanted to start something. Its a pity. So before I get into trouble, i decided to leave after just 1 beer.

It was great from the atmosphere through the food and drinks. Aayushi was really nice and ready to serve us.

Decent pub food, packed house. Small portions on the sides. Fun atmosphere. Service is self serve but the staff was nice. Easy to get to. I would give them a better rating but the bathroom was inexcusable, filthy overrunning toilets.

The Shakespeare is a quite nice pub with a good ambiance and quick service. We ate the Steak and Ale pie which was very nice, and the BBQ chicken which was nicely seasoned and well-done. We were helped by Aayushi

I loved everything about this place.

Popped in here while we was waiting for the train and we both liked it

Good location and selection of drinks. It gets quite busy at times but friendly staff will do their best to make sure that your drinks keep coming.

Stopped in here for lunch while visiting London for the day. Both the food and drinks were delicious. Aayushi took care of us at our table and service was great!

Aayushi done the great job We had the fish and chips and sandwich it was to good and it was great fun here We had the beer also and

Lots of space available on Sunday afternoon.

Aayushi is very kind and helped us with everything, my English is medium and she paid a lot of attention to us and helped us with everything. I am very grateful.

Aayushi, was great, lovely service and nice little pub before the theatre.

I have just been charged £9.40 for a single G&T with a “standard” gin (Plymouth). All other gins, including higher end brands, are around £8.10 - £8.40. Apparently Plymouth is the most expensive. What is this world coming to?

Excellent pub, even though it's part of a chain! The prices are more than reasonable for the quality of the food. We had breakfast (very generous portions) as well as lunch on another day, and everything was delicious! Great pub atmosphere and very friendly staff :-) (A small downside: the toilets... not the dirtiest we encountered during our stay in London, but not the cleanest either… unfortunately, that depends on the customers.)

Vidhi was a fantastic server! Attended to every need!

Aayushi was a great and kind server! Food was very good!

Very nice place for drinks and our bartender Aayushi was very friendly and helpful we will back again definitely thank you 🙏

Aayushi is very friendly and the food was good. Small downside regarding the welcome of the waiter at the bar who took our order.

Meh, feels touristy to me... Weak beer selection.

My wife and I stopped by on our way back from our London trip. We found it to be very successful. I recommend it.

Lovely meal in pub staff super friendly especially Ruby behind the bar and maddie who served the food. Highly recommend!

Had dinner with friends in The Shakespeare tonight. Fast, friendly bar and food service. Delicious food, great atmosphere. All the staff so nice but shoutout to Ruby and Maddy who looked after us. Will be back for sure.

A cold day in London so decided to have a drink somewhere in the warm. It was warmer than outside but not by that much. Didn’t have any food as it looked a bit non-handmade and a bit on the side of fast food.

Arrived at The Shakespeare this morning. Greeted by wonderful friendly staff that went above and beyond to make us feel welcome on our first family trip to London. Fabulous food, extra special burgers and kids catered for expertly. Rob in particular couldn't have been more accommodating. A great place to start our adventure!

Solid drink selection and friendly staff

Aayushi was a super nice service. Breakfast was great. Prices are good too

Aayushi the waitress is super friendly and nice. The food was super tasty The atmosphere is great All in all a great pub

My daughter said the best chicken wings!!!

Very nice english pub. Aayushi was very good

Ruby was great, brilliant service and the guy behind the bar was always smiling

Very sympathique staff and it's delicioux !🤩

Great service of the Aayushi and wonderful pub

This is truely a great Pub indeed..Nicely situated right outside Victoria Train station,it has a lovely warm and welcoming atmoshere.And with top quality food and drink all seved up with a smile,what,s not to like??

Wasn't too busy when we went. Served fairly quick and we managed to find a table for a large group without a booking.

Nice pub l. Pricey, but it was worth a pop in.

We had a snack. They offer 3 small plates for £17 and the 3 we chose were utterly delicious 😋 and filling. We'll be back another time when we're passing through Victoria.

Food was really nice, bar staff could have done with cheering up a bit but the servers were really helpful and overall the experience was good.

Great pub opposite Victoria Train Station. Friendly and efficient staff and good food

The location is very convenient, service was friendly and prices are alright. Just don't come for the food (at least the breakfast - avocado toast in particular was a joke).

It's a beautiful place. The fish and chips are delicious.

Traditional pub with a pleasant atmosphere, central position between Buckingham Palace and Victoria Station, slightly higher London prices

I went here to spend some time before my trip to Edinburgh. It has a calm and musical atmosphere. I recommend it to those who want to experience a classic English pub.

The X item was particularly my favourite, good ambiance and customer service.”

Typical place where you can eat at any time. The decor is as you would imagine for an English pub. The food is okay but not amazing. Despite this we had a good time

we strive for 100% satisfaction, and it is great to see you had such a positive experience at Shakespeare.

Don't get the steak under any circumstances! A dramatic culinary experience. First class beer.

The pub is really very good and the staff are also friendly We order 3 small plates and it was tooo delicious We come again here

Shakespeare is a different pub to come We order Mac and cheese & mush chilli it was good Good atmosphere

Handy pub for waiting to go to Apollo theatre, expensive for food and drinks, especially wine, loos have a lot to be desired, wonky floor as you go in... at lunch, barbecue chicken was OK and chips good, but later went back for cheese toasty and coffee..toasty.... don't bother.... total waste of money, coffee arrived stone cold... waitress said machine not working!! But surely would have felt it was cold when bringing it to table!! After consulting manager.... it was replaced with cup of tea.....

We had a reservation here for 20:30 on New Year’s Eve for food. We booked the table online and got a confirmation email. However when we turned up they said the kitchen was closed even though we seen people still eating. The staff was very rude and not accommodating atall. This was a disgrace as we could not find any other food places that late on one of the busiest nights off the year. We ended up having to get a takeaway to our hotel. Which ruined our trip to London. Even the security woman on the door said that it wasn’t good enough that we could make a reservation and not get food.

Unfriendly bar staff. Refused to put on football no explanation given. Expensive.

Hmm I have been here several times to eat their chicken wings, I particularly like the Nishiville sauce. Greatly located by Victoria Station. Do try their food if your nearby.

It's a shame to pay for dessert and never get it! We waited 50 minutes, we could have waited longer, but we've been here since 6.45pm, so we had to leave at 8.45pm. 35 minutes then we asked and waited 25 minutes again! All we got was help from security for a ramp and from a waitress. All the while we waited to clear our plates and glasses and waited desperately for our dessert. The waitresses blatantly ignored us. When I wanted to ask for my dessert I just made a gesture and in the end a fake smile for having come! 44.50 lives for two coca cola, two plates and no dessert! They came several times for those who drank or those who ate but we never got any "everything's ok? nothing' except "Thanks you" when they cleared us? Wow. thanks to the security for helping us! To be avoided by tourists (loss of money)! And I wouldn't recommend it to my English-speaking friends... for a first experience in a London pub, it's a shame because the setting and atmosphere were nice!

Nice pub just in front of Victoria station, unfortunately some of the dishes we chose were not available

Mega expensive wine over £10 per large glass .

We ate a very good fish a chips. Place was very nice and they did not take too long to bring the food. I would recommend it to try the typical British pub.

Good option to eat a burger or some local food.

Very good burgers, warm atmosphere, impeccable service 🤩👌🏻

Great ambience, great service, recommended.

The theme is fascinating and I think that for that reason alone it is worth visiting if you are a tourist. We wanted to try the famous fish and potatoes and at least I didn't like it, no one told us where to sit, we grabbed a table and they told us that if we wanted to eat we had to pay first. It didn't take them long to serve us but I think the food is not that good.

It's a bar! With great food. I gave some people a thumbs up as they looked at the menu posted outside on the wall. They came in! The meal was fantastic. Meat pie, peas and mashed potatoes. No room for desert.

Excellent lunch! Food and service were fantastic!

Aayushi ,diksha and hetvi were very nice and welcoming. Had a lovely time here thank you

Friendly staff, good drinks, good food and good fun!

nice food, great mac & cheese and geat burgers friendly service amazing atmosphere

Cool little spot to have a bite to eat and a drink before seeing a show at the Apollo Victoria.

Great atmosphere, food, and drinks. Staff is lovely.

Perfect pub in london!! Special thanks to Aayushi who very kindly find us a table!! This was perfect for us!! Go to drink a beer or something else and eat what you want in this pub, pleasure for sure!

It was too amazing and I got service very nice and wonderful Good to goo Most goo I will visit again Shakespeare is good pub and well maintained food

food is great, we nice time. beer is also good. service was nice and the atmosphere really characteristic would definitely recomend

Found a nice spot here to sit and have a couple of drinks. Had look through the menu, and we decided on having a bite to eat. Unfortunately the food was not up to much.

We had a bit of a wait but the pub was full and we could clearly see the intense activity of the staff. Everything arrived at the same time, hot and super good! The fish was super crispy. It was exactly what we wanted. A good time, in a typical English pub setting and a signature dish!

Food was too Amazing I had Mac and cheese it was too delicious and I love it The atmosphere of the pub was too good and the staff was also good to serve us and we will definitely visit again

Sooooo delicious, thank you so much, it was a very great meal

Chilled, food sub standard … but service good! Here to help when they are busy

Fantastic pub to kill some time whilst family are sightseeing 🤪

Big cosy pub ok for a.drink but don't eat there. We ordered four meals and they were all inedible. Worst.meals.we have ever eaten.

Food was bad. Just bad. Sunday beef roast - two small very chewy slices of beef drained in grease. Chips were dreadful. Yorkie pudding fkat and dry. Disappointing. Do not recommend on your worst day!

What a place! Amazing. Great pub feeling awesome to be there and the service was great we enjoy a lot We recommended to be there

Great team, tasty xmas food selection, mulled wine and big selection of gins and beers. Traditional British pub where you feel welcome. Tastefully decorated for Christmas with hidden cellar bar.

Utterly flat lager at 'through the roof' prices..service OK.. not sure why they have bouncers coming round giving 20 minutes to leave when anyone(but especially mates of staff)get served 40 minutes plus after...this occurs every single time I come in..60 odd visits at a guess I've put in and I'm out and gone by all of em each time

Pare is my favourite at this place! She is so kind, fun and relaxed she is a wonderful host!

Pare was a wonderful host ,her smile and warmth brought magic to our table . We shall return because of Pare .
