Shakespeares Head in Camden

Iconic English pub - thoroughly recommend. A true icon of British culture. Solid food (nothing more) an abundance of well priced beer and beautiful locations. Full of bald locals. Visit!

Standard weatherspoons ... Basic, cheap, and conveniently quick for a decent brekky after a night out. They never fail!

Noisy population Spoons but food still fine

A really good wetherspoons. You can always get a table. Staff are friendly, and the naga Vindaloo is the best "pub" curry you will ever have

Went here prior to going to show, fast efficient service.

Food was not great. When I ordered the gentlemen taking my order asked his colleague a question about how to charge our orders the female colleague was very rude. I tried to explain what he was meaning but she just did not Care. Not what I expect if a staff member cannot be nice with another staff member then there is no hope for the customers. Very disappointing only gave 4 stars for service for the gentleman had he not been so nice it would have been 1 star.

Looked for a place serving breakfast early and went in here…..which I regretted. Other than the food, the design inside is a typical bar & restaurant. Service was good.

Straightforward Wetherspoons. Standard food and drink at a good value price.

Called in for breakfast. Usual Wetherspoons good value and fast service. Free refill for hot drinks. Large city centre pub surroundings.

Clean, the breakfast was nice bacon not what I'm use to but tasted good 👍🏻 service great

Perfect London pub with good beer and friendly staff :)

It does what it says on the tin, reasonably priced food and drinks, lots of seating, friendly bar staff, usual spoons fare.

Met up with some mates and this is the perfect starting place.

Cheap, good vibes and not too crowded :)

Went for late lunch/early dinner and was surprised how busy it still was with lots of office people in groups. But despite how busy it was we easily found somewhere to sit and the speed of the service was well within acceptable levels. Food was lovely, just what we expect from Wetherspoons and good value at London prices. Set in Africa House some of the features have been retained. Toilets could have been better.

We went there to try the new small brekky, turned out they didn't have breakfast at all at this particular JD Wetherspoon. The atmosphere is also very depressing, it's dark, gloomy. The good thing is there's another restaurant of the chain just 7mins walk from there and it's perfect.

Always a good spoons. Great range of ales as well.

Typical English pub complete with carpet on the floor! crowded with Londoners and students, we went for dinner, ordered fish and chips and an excellent draft beer. The prices are excellent (about £20 for two for dinner), the service was fast and the atmosphere was very nice. I definitely recommend

Always busy staff are all very friendly

Popped in for lunch before visiting a local museum. Staff friendly.food served hot and in good time. Toilets clean. Overall a good Wetherspoons experience.

The Shakespeare's Head is situated in an extremely popular area and gets very busy. Considering how full the pub was when we visited on a Saturday evening I was amazed at how quick the service was with drinks being delivered within the 8 minutes started and our garlic bread just a moment or two after that. No complaints about the food or drink quality, both very tasty and as it was during the Wetherspoon's latest beer festival we were able to sample some tasty ales. The only criticism and this is something that the pub are doing everything they can to tackle is bag and phone theft in there. There are big signs watching people when entering as well as signs on tables and good security on the door, but it is something to be mindful of. Overall we had a good experience and as long as you know this is going to be a busy bar and keep your belongings close by a great time will be had.

Small portions these days but. Pub was ok 👍

Dropped in for an early lunch/brunch it was still quiet with plenty of seats. The service was fast and friendly and the vege breakfast good value.

Decent spoons. Busy but lots of staff to serve.

Great time meeting new people, actually

Toilets need regular checking in gents and no food today. Shame it normally a good reliable place for a pint and a meal. It won't stop me going back....

Nice place, great atmosphere, nice food, quick service. Would recommend

One of my favourite spoons probably. Friendly staff and the bouncers aren't wankers. Good prices for the area too and my go to pregame spot when doing Soho clubs.

Friendly place, great location.

The first serving was cold food but on telling staff was quickly replaced with hot food. In no way is the fish freshly battered but it is nice to eat when hot. For the price good value and customer service 100% well done has a great night!

Significant improvement on the standard of breakfast Needs some work on service to get theb5th star

Lively pub with big selection of beers.

Great service . Food and drink delivered to table atmosphere was great . Great prices both for food and drink Staff were polite and hard working food was fantastic

Atmosphere was great good prices for London

We just stopped by to rest and have a drink. The place is nice, but it's a little noisy inside. Beer selection is good. Their sinks were worse than other places. Prices are normal.

Staff knew we were in a rush for our show and was so friendly and helpful. Lots of choice on the menu. Enjoyed our cocktails.

Great value for money, fast service, but there were only about 2 others there, as it was in the morning. Some of the staff were a little 'sharp', so it made the place a little tense, but was a great place for breakfast. It would have been nice to feel a bit more welcome, as we were visiting London for a few days, but we never expect that any more. We would still go back, it's a minor point, but quite important.

The best value for money in the city

Very clean and beautiful. Since it is a chain bar, it has a certain standard. You are welcomed as a guest with peace of mind.

Just what we needed. A wetherspoons to relax in while dinner goes down.

Very nice pup. There is also service on the upper floor. The televisions are a bit annoying, the furnishings are appropriate for a pup

Dreadful service. The bar staff exchanged not a single word with me when ordering. No please. No thanks nothing. I won't be back.

A convenient Wetherspoon's pub, close to the centre of English Freemasonry. In common with all Wetherspoon's pubs the prices have risen as a result of inflation, but they are still competitive in this part of London - the WC2 postcode.

Really great wetherspoons....staff were friendly place clean and food great. Would go again....all good 👍

I came here on Sunday with my friend and our server was Emily. She delivered our food quickly and efficiently- Food was as expected at a Wetherspoons but service was excellent. Thank you Emily!

I stumbled upon this Wetherspoon in Holborn and didn’t expect much. My host Emily was attentive, charismatic and personal. I had a great time and will be returning!

One of the best Wetherspoons in London.

Had eaten here before when visiting London Food was good and very reasonable for London Staff work hard making sure all is okay

It was a little packed on the weekend but still ample room to get around. The food was alright, and there was nothing that special but still delicious. Staff seemed a bit busy and rushed off their feet a little but still welcoming, would still recommend.

Wetherspoons are always a success when you travel, especially on a low budget. Typical food, good price and within the restaurant chain each one has a different brand of beer so you can try different local beers.

It's a spoons , you get what you pay for

Shakespeares Head is conveniently situated a couple of minutes walk from Holborn tube station. Its one of the larger Spoons restaurants and all on on level. The toilets are also on this level so no stairs to negotiate. As a group, we have been several times before and because of the excellent food and service, we continue to make return visits. The staff are very helpful.

Flies everywhere unable to eat flying in food it’s disgusting. Men’s toilets made me actually gag smells rotten.

A lovely find for breakfast on the way through. Very affordable prices which is surprising considering it was London. lots of comfortable seating, plenty of space. For anyone with wheels or difficultly with mobility access is good. Toilets though clean were on the dark side!

Great drinks promo for a chill night out. Food promo was of good selection too. Quick service, food and drinks were served in less than 6mins. 👏👏

The venue is nice and kept clean. It wasn't that busy when we went but the service was slow. The staff were polite and helpful.

Busy but great atmosphere. Burger meal was tasty and some great real ales

What a shame ! Very rude bouncer.

15pounds for food and drink Also yummy

A great Wetherspoons friendly staff good atmosphere

Didn't have the majority of dishes ..had to go 3 times to change it. One dish was not to usual standard. The classic burger

Mosquitos everywhere. Want malaria? Look no further.

Meal: It is not of very high quality but for what you pay it is very good. There is a wide variety of products to eat and drink. We ordered a breakfast which was good, plus for £1 and little more you can drink all the coffee you want. We also ordered some very typical London eggs (benedit) which were good. What we didn't like were the hamburgers, very average although they had an offer with a beer that was cheap. Service: Most of the employees had a good attitude, except for one dark-skinned one who treated us poorly, without any patience with someone who comes from another country. I think he's the manager. Establishment: You can see these places in many parts of London, I think the government has to do with their administration. They are very English although they tend to be somewhat dirty.

As a connoisseur of Wetherspoons, I have to say the food here was more than somewhat disappointing. The food arrived cold. The drink arrived flat. Shakespeare himself would be thoroughly disappointed. 3/5, try harder.

It's a spoons, so you know what you're getting. They have Asahi in the 600ml bottles so really one of the better places to visit in my opinion

Fair prices and a really nice atmosphere. Food not tested. But always good for a few pints. Self-service at the bar or via the app. But I think it's easier and quicker at the bar. Best prices in London for beer and cider.

For london, fantastic prices great food and the service was unbelievable 👏

Bartender too poor to acknowledge who is next to be serve when there was only 2 customersat bar. Didn’t bother asking but just decided to serve who’s closest to him, great service!!!

Great old school pub. Good selection of ales and bar food a cut above.

Staff were pretty slow to serve at the bar and it was quiet when I went in

Weird guy was giving us grief, saying it was "his pub". He was the manager on the 29th of July.

They people went to Shakespeare head pub. They buy beer or wine. they people order food . They people like come Shakespeare head pub .they people who came into the pub were full, and they people outside, they wait going in the pub. Wow, there are lots of people in the pub wow

Good old Spoons - nice food and great drinks at an amazing value - visited on a Friday night and the place was not crowded at all.

Sunday night, late on in Holborn, so you wouldn't expect it to be bouncing. Called in for a quick drink, no eating. Nice pub, haven't been in there for 30 years, I like to be able to compare but I can't remember. Spacious, plenty of seating and very handy for the tube.

TOP for a quick classic or individual English breakfast. Coffee great! Gladly again

Large pub that serves food that is good value for money, would recommend coming with a group.

Fantastic ambience and food - quick service with the App

Rude staff, soft fries, bad smell… just a no

I didn't eat anything but, the food looked great. Very busy but I didn't wait long to be served.

I used foods from online inside pub booked .

Like most Spoons, good service with a fantastic range of drinks

Very nice and affordable pub meal deal. Drink and a plate of food. Easy ordering via qr code on the table. Coffee unlimited refills with one time pay and reusable mug. Worth a visit when looking for a quick and easy filling diner or lunch!!!

I just found the Greene King restaurant here. Did I get wrong entrance? :)

All things considered the food was pretty good. Well we ate the lot anyway. Good varied menu at reasonable prices. Huge place so lots of seating areas. Staff are brilliant!!

Very reasonably priced great atmosphere

Standard spoons, tired decor, tired staff, sub standard watery pint of strongbow. Chicken wings saved the day 😂 never thought I would say that. The guy who brought the food was a nice fella and helpful.

Super cheap English breakfast with lots of seating, early access to draft beers and close to Holborn station with clean toilets.

Nice spoons to kill time and grab some food or drink

Great pub but for some reason you can't order on the app here (at least when I went) which in my opinion takes away one of the best features of spoons

This is one of my more regular Spoons when I visit London for a weekend or day trip. Recent Friday visit for a morning livener with a friend - nice glass of Pinot G and a Chardonnay at bargain prices. What's not to love, great service too must add. It's a good Spoons this , nice seat area and the food is better than some others I have visited!

Always a pleasant pub to visit, part of the Wether spoons group, great value food and very tasty. Mixed grill

Wetherspoon bars are the best way to spend less money for food in London. Good quality, large size beverages and good prices and deals.

Quite reasonable prices, good atmosphere, fast service

Great pub with great food.and a great team.we had a mixed grill which was very tasty and wrll priced. The bar staff were amazing and served you quickly. The food was served quickly and efficiently. The toilets were spotless. It's in a great location a nd esy to get around. It's definitely worth a visit.

As always a great experience with nice snacks and selection of beers

Wetherspoons is always worth a visit for value for money.

Arrived at Holborn and usually meet up at this pub, no problem for last 10 years , but this time they wouldn't allow people in and one had to stand in a queue to enter. I will never queue up to get into any pub so we now go elsewhere. Pity but c'est la vie, they lose our money and we lose a nice pub.

Packed out but good atmosphere, expensive but that's par for the course up town

Went on FA cup final day. Good atmosphere, friendly staff and prompt service. Would recommend

Cozy and nice-looking pub in the heart of London. We only had couple of half pint afternoon ciders which were cheap.
