Shakespeare's Head in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This pub is conveniently located near the theatre district. It's fairly small, and the inside can get quite crowded. A more relaxing option is to try to get one of the limited outdoor tables. To order, you'll need to download their app or go inside and order, and they'll bring the food out to you. The drinks and pub food are ok, nothing special but still good.

Couldn’t serve the pint ordered so amazingly charged the extra for the replacement pint. Never come across that before. Terrible

In a central location, the pub has great interior decoration and is very welcoming. The quality of the food is high but they really need to learn to serve a full pint of beer to the brim. No more cheating customers, please. Beer is expensive.

Muy cálido y muy buena atención. Especialmente lo gente de la barra. Gracias por hacernos pasar un momento muy lindo. Abrazo

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had and the service was also shockingly poor. Roast dinners had overcooked meat literally dumped on a plate with vegetables and a completely flat Yorkshire pudding which didn’t even taste nice!! Staff were disinterested and unengaging. I was embarrassed having suggested meeting at this pub, it was truly terrible with at least an hour’s wait for food despite the restaurant being almost empty. We had booked because it had several 5 star ratings. It is absolutely awful and I would recommend avoiding it!!!

My and my mom were served by Demi, Jenish and Sathis, who were lovely. The food was amazing, we had the opportunity to taste true english food, the atmosphere is also intimate and cozy. Loved it.

Visited here for some lunch before the theatre and we had a great meal. It was reasonably priced for Soho and the portion sizes were fair. The vegan burger was brilliant, although the ‘small plate’ crispy potatoes were far from being crispy and also had no rosemary salt as stated on the menu. The battered halloumi was fantastic. Otherwise the vibe was great and the staff were friendly. Would visit again.

Popped in the Shakespeare’s Head for a bite to eat and a pint on Monday lunchtime. Loved the look of the place as we approached from Carnaby Street and saw William himself peaking out the window from above. We sat upstairs and opted for the £10 each for the drink and snack menu. We paid the extra £2 each for the alcoholic drink and we each had an Aspalls cider and fish goujon butty. Was absolutely lovely and good value for money particularly in the location and the setting. Márkus our waiter/server was very helpful and friendly and is a credit to the company.

Great selection of beers, polite friendly staff who were willing to discuss their beer. Clean bar and relaxed atmosphere

Für eine Shopping-Pause perfekt. Wir waren einkaufen und wollten ein Bier trinken. Gute Auswahl, netter Service, ein Pub, wie er sein soll. Man kann auch draußen sitzen. Der Securitymann vor der Tür sorgt dafür, dass man sich sicher fühlt mit den ganzen Tüten.

Nos lo recomendaron y la verdad que acertamos. Tipico pub inglés, aseado he histórico. La parte de abajo tipo pub cervecería y picoteo y parte arriba comidas. La comida muy buena pedimos hamburguesa y sabrosa y de calidad. Precio 66,26 libras 4 personas. Muy recomendable ir, os lo aseguro.

Amazing staff, food and location. Highly recommend this pub as been coming for a while when out in town. Special shouts to Marcus the manager whos a great guy and can help woth whatever you need.

Great service by Louise - very friendly and helpful. Good value. Would recommend a stop here for drinks on a busy day in London!

Had a Pint of Guinness with a school mate and the bartender gave a free Guinness hat (Lucky for me, I was having a Guinness). Folks were a joy to be around. Recommended to anyone visiting SOHO and the area around. Very nice environment. Thanks for the hat dude.

Great spot on Carnaby St. Bartender from Hungary gave good recs for drinks. Apps good quality. Football on TV had crowd cheering.

18th Century historic pub. Easy to find pub off Regent Street. Nice decor with Shakespeare themed quotes and imagery around.

Très bon cocktails à des prix corrects pour un bar londonien très bien situés. Les petits starters proposés sont excellents.

Great meal. Table not sticky at all - usually a bit of a Spoons tradition! Not the quickest service, but nicely cooked and presented, and friendly service. Felt clean, nice decor. Would go again.

Marcus was a fantastic host and made feel incredibly welcome. Very accommodating and charismatic. I would be back again for sure

Marcus and Satish are amazing. Lovely guys, the service is too good. The beers suggestions were too good and these guys were out of the world.

Tipico locale inglese, piacevole anche se un po'turistico. Piatti costosi ma abbondanti ed ottime birre alla spina. Fa per voi se volete bervi qualcosa godendovi una delle vie più iconiche di Londra.

Amazing place, must visit. The service is topnotch. Always have a great time when I visit. The team's welcoming friendly providing a relaxed atmosphere

Children’s size portions and service was Lacking. Freezing in there. Food was disappointing to say the least. Would not recommend

awful pub filthy smelt of urine and uncleaned lines. terribly run worst experience I've had for a very long time. unsurprisingly quiet but still insisted on serving in plastic glasses. a real surprise to have the misfortune to go to such a badly run greene pub. Will certainly never go back

The burger is in the podium of worse hamburger I ever tried. Days ago bread and completely charred meat. Not bad steak&ale pie. Peevish service at a not crowded time. Half an hour to receive the main courses.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Shakespeare’s head. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, creating the perfect backdrop for a great evening.

Myself and my partner decided to have lunch here when visiting the Carnaby universe lights. It was a busy Monday afternoon but we managed to get a seat, we opted to move after we ordered due to the type of seats we had and nothing...

Great place, great service, charming governor, ask for Zed. Good selection of food, full meal and snacks.

Lovely Sunday Lunch (beef) and lemon tart. Yum! Location is perfect for theatres and night life. Staff were great too! Reasonable price.

Great place for drinks and food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff, will definitely return when I’m next in London.

What a great place fantastic atmosphere and friendly attentive staff will definitely be back when in London again

Such a buzzing location, great spot for a bev. Chris was absolutely unreal and looked after us so well. Will definitely be back!

Had to wait an hour to get our food and when it came it was cold, spoke to the waiter about it, no apology, just give it back to me, very poor service all round

Everything we hoped for in an English pub. We had the traditional fish and chips which was excellent. The fish wasn’t fishy and the batter was delicious! I’m not a fish person, and I loved it. The prices were also very reasonable as it came...

We called into this pub last time we were in London and really enjoyed the meal so we decided to go again. We were not disappointed. I must say the place was incredibly busy but so was the area and the staff were lovely. I...

Brought beers for me and my friends 2 beers were terrible spoke to bar and then manager poor customer service will never drink in here again and advise others not to visit

Long day shopping and assoc **ap before flying out tomorrow. Just wanted a nice, simple meal before heading back to the hotel. Bacon burger with fries and onion rings though I ditched the frozen french fries for what turned out to be frozen thick cut...

Funky, casual pub, with a lovely easy going vibe. Would have loved for it to be our local. We are here nearly every day of our stay.

Si tratta di un locale con atmosfera caratteristica "british", informale e alla buona, che offre piatti semplici a prezzi ragionevoli,...

What a lovely pub- stumbled across it on a walk around London- initially stopped just for a drink but once i saw ither peoples food i couldn’t resist. Next time I’m in the area will certainly come back.

Ordered my favourite steak pie - it came with just three small pieces of meat. When I discussed this with staff they commented that they have had a lot of complaints about it recently. They willingly offered me a replacement meal which was accepted. The...

I went with a friend. I came across the bar and ordered 2 beers from them. Then a security guard went straight to my friend and asked her to leave if she didn’t show her ID, even if she didn’t order anything at all. She...

Terrible disinterested service, big mistake to order food ! I had a bacon and chicken sourdough sandwich- nothing like the description in the menu. It came all mushed up on stale so called sourdough.

How bad can service get? Slow, food comes out at various times, staff don’t know what a customer is, can forget orders and don’t warn you of items not available. Other than that, great.

Good place to stop for a drink while shopping in Soho. It's right in the middle of the action but allows you to escape into a pub and enjoy some drinks and a visit.

Great pub. Wonder Fish & Chips. Love the Old Mount Pineapple & Raspberry Cider. Chef Helen was very friendly.

Good service but terrible food , ordered the chicken salad which turned out to be large bowl of rocket leaves with 5 pieces of cucumber, few bits of water melon & sweet potato with a very dry tasteless chick breast on top ! No dressing...

Very rude and unfriendly staff, worst pub in London. We were repeatedly harassed by staff accused of eating food purchased outside the premises when in fact my friend merely smelled a candle that was in a gift bag! . Very paranoid staff.

unfriendly door staff with appalling customer manner , avoid if you want to enjoy your drink , that bad we finished our one drink and left

Worst experience at a Greene king pub. Ordered drinks on the app, 30 min after ordering they still hadn’t arrived, so joined the long que at the bar to enquire, a member of staff passed by and i explained my situation and they said I’ll...

Pub in tipico stile inglese , posizione strategica. Ottima scelta di birra, servizio celere e cordiale.Tappa d’obbligo.

Barman wrote down my order for food in front of me and still got it wrong. Took just under an hour for food to arrive even though told it would be 30 minutes.

Waited 1 hour an no food was served. I ordered and paid fish&chips for me and my three daughters and I was told the waiting time could be 20 to 40 minutes. All of the other customers, including the ones who arrived 30 minutes after...

Ordered dinner. Paid for it. An hour later, someone came out and told us they were out of everything we ordered. Every single thing. Asked for our money back. They said no. Are you kidding? We had to go back to menu, reorder and make...

Extremely lovely pub. Super friendly and efficient staff You do need to pay attention all orders just be made at the bar or via the app. Loved the food. Quick service.

First the lady in the first floor told me, when I was ordering a Camden Pale Ale, that that is not possible because Camden is a lager and a Pale Ale an IPA. Then after ordering an Aperol Spritz which tastes like soda, that she...

We've visited this pub several times but when we visited the other day everything from stat to finish was a nightmare. Half the menu was off (which I understand with supply issues but they're paper menus so maybe just cross off what's unavail or make...

We arrived at 1600 for one drink to get out of the NYE rain and left at 2230! A great pub, lovely friendly staff, a good energy in the place. Food came quickly and was delicious and well priced. Will defo be back and might...

Tipico locale londinese, molto accogliente, ottimo servizio e ottimi piatti. Oltretutto situato nella bellissima Carnaby Elisabetta

Have visited this pub several times over the last few years with my wife and the service was always acceptable until our last visit on 22nd December. The waitress was extremely rude and un-helpful whose command of the English language was barely existent as I...

I came here Sunday 18th with a friend. The pub was very busy so we headed upstairs to try and find a table …we sat down on a table for 2 which was joined to a bigger table, there was a reserved sign which we...

Yesterday afternoon we decided to have a drink outside and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in Carnaby Street. Unfortunately when my daughter went to the bar to get drinks ,she was met with a very rude and miserable member of staff. She was abrupt and claimed...

Very busy Sunday lunchtime, shown upstairs to a far more peaceful area. Sunday roasts were wonderful, service excellent, prices reasonable. A very nice atmosphere, thoroughly recommend particularly given the location.

Awfully.experoence , visited today with my family . Children had burgers that were still frozen in the middle and bleeding All.kids menus are withdrawn and no hot drink as to busy . Awfull and hoping it's not made the children ill.

This is a perfect spot to stop and have a quick drink as one continues to explore the many attractions available in the Soho/Mayfair areas.

Tipico pub inglese a carnaby street. Buone le birre e le torte. Ideale per vedere le partite di premier league....

Very nice place to ser the movement and test a little bit after a long turist walking day. Very well placed! Service nice and fast. Prices ok.

Il faut deviner qu'on prend votre commande au comptoir. Beaucoup d'attente pour être servi ... mais on s'est régalé !!...

We had to wait 1 hour and 10 min for our meals, although waiter said they will be wintin 30 min. One meal was absolutely cold (fish&chips), the rest better than McDonald's however I expected a bit more.

We visited this great little pub after an excruciating 1.5 hours of torture in Victoria's Secret with our teenage daughters and we're in need of a place to unwind and refresh. Although it was busy we found peace and quiet in the upstairs bar with...

I keep coming back for Sunday roasts, the lamb is to die for. It's the best Sunday roast in brighton! I'll be back again!

Very nice pub meals. Great atmosphere. A small mistake in an order was met with sincere apologies and free extra drinks AND dessert. More than made up for the mistake 👍🏻

Guess what, another lovely Greene King Pub. This one was buzzing with the early Friday night crowd. The atmosphere around Carnaby Street was fantastic, everybody enjoying a few drinks in the early sunshine. Needless to say, this pub was heaving but we got served quickly...

Probably the worst service and experience I have ever had in any pub in the world (and I have been in a good few!!) Dirty tables Dirty menus Loads of dirty glasses piled up on the bar Totally disinterested staff. I have my own catering...

I had good service and the staff were great, they aren't wanting to be your friend just simply get their jobs done. The food I had was great especially considering I have to eat gluten free. It's hardly dirty either, I think some people must...

Unhelpful, snarling staff -ma middle aged Asian woman in particular seemed to have a problem with my guests, business visitors from Europe who were struggling gamely to order in admittedly broken English - wrecked a visit to this normally pleasant pub in the middle of...

Paid a visit after a long afternoon shopping on Mothers day and so impressed with the fast service, friendliness and the food was absolutely gorgeous. It was very busy too. Ordered the beef and chicken roast. Thank you. Was perfect 👌 x x

Staff are were amazing at the Shakespeare Head. Had table booked for Vanessa - 6 people, March 4th at 8pm. Hanna was one of the staff that looked after us. She had a great personality, very welcoming and was always there when we needed help...

Pub típico londinense. Buenas cervezas, buen ambiente y retransmisiones deportivas. También se puede comer algo típico.
