Great little places. The server was very nice. Try e food was delicious and it was the little things that I think make a place. The napkins were high quality and the water glass was like a rock glass that was very nice for a water glass. The draught beer was nice as for some reason in London I see them swirling the beer around the create “head” and I am not sure why? But here the draught had the normal amount of head and tastes delicious. We will keep this place in mind our next visit back to London

Food definitely needed after all the steps at St Paul’s…other local pubs did not have food we liked, found this pub and the food and service was fabulous. Fish finger sandwich was a hit!

Haven't been in here for ages. The Rising Sun and the Cockpit were rammed but Shaws was empty. It's a big air conditioned bar. The service was, unsurprisingly, excellent. Prices are what you'd expect to pay. It's not got the history of the Cockpit or the charm of the Rising Sun but it's a good bar.

Didn't eat, but we had a quick beer. Most of the tables were laid up, but we found one which wasn't. A typically well-done Fullers conversion, preserving some original features.

Was asked to move tables as was by myself for lunch, was it that obvious I wasn't waiting for anyone to join me, appears like it was.. 'please can you move, never know how busy it can get on a Wednesday' , what a strange thing to say, is Wednesday the new Thursday now, perhaps, who knows; The food, had triple cooked chips and some pork chop starter, overcooked, felt like i just downed a half glass of cooking oil afterwards. Didn't say the food was bad because no one asked. The beer was good so 2 stars

We visited this pub many years ago, and have spent far too long trying to find it again. But today we did! We won. It's in an area that you can wander and find much randomness including the Cockpit pub, a lovely church and is within a nice stroll to the St Paul's area

Overall a nice place with good service. It was clear that the staff cared. I had a burger with fries. Both the burger and the fries were great, but it lacked a bit finesse; why not add some coleslaw or a tomato (for colour if nothing else). Get a small container for the fries and work a bit with presentation and it would be a 5-star.

Nice and friendly but the food is overpriced and dreadful. I had warmed up chicken on a bed of cold lentils with cuttings of kale - it was gritty and tasted like it was prepared 2 days ago. My friend ordered a burger - this was warmed up too with a square of cheese that barely existed. It had a soft cold bun. It was served with a small handful of chips. The cost was £15 for the burger and £18 for the warmed up chicken. I’d suggest taking the short walk anywhere else than here if you’re hungry.

I originally found out about this pub after being stuck on a train out West a few years ago - one of my fellow commuters happened to be the pub manager. I visited Shaw's recently and found it to be a lovely place - nicely tucked away in a great area of London, but still quite busy for midweek. Beer selection great (I think I drank Hophead - maybe a guest ale - which is low percentage but high on flavour), and bar snacks delicious,especially the truffle / garlic chips which are dangerously addictive 😏. Was lovely to meet the manager too - well done Sidonie (apologies if I've spelt your name wrong) and your staff 👏🏽

Shaws Booksellers… I won’t even try to explain the name, but I enjoyed this pub without a bookmark, but with a fork and knife on a pork chop special with a Meantime Ale. The service was good, not great, but very friendly. The food and drink were very good. Prices were standard London pub prices, so a bit high. The décor is classic British pub, though brightly lit at noon, with a curious iron beam overhead. Interesting.

Came here for dinner in the evening but really disappointing menu, just burgers or fish & chips.

It's small and VERY popular by the staffs in the area. So it's loud and if you have a group of people, you will need to book to guarantee a table. Or as a matter of fact, somewhere to stand.... it's normal to see huge crowd was actually staying outside and having their drinks. Would not recommend going there if you want a conversation without involving yelling...and as most people WFH on Friday, now Thursday is the new Friday in the city...

During a recent trip to London, we visited twice, once just for drinks. We ended up being the last customers (at 9 pm!) but were encouraged to stay - no sudden calling of Last Orders! We'd enjoyed it, so went again, this time for a meal. Both times, we were served by Marubia, and her manner and attitude added to our enjoyment of the evening. Both of us enjoyed the food, and the prices were good value compared to other places we saw. Would definitely go again.

After being almost driven out from the adjacent pub just down the street, we came I; here for several pints and some food. Very welcoming to a corner table. Started with an excellent IPA with the hummus and the crispy Norfolk chicken wings. Followed with three or four more pints. Staff and neighbouring drinkers could not have been more affable and helpful. Really liked the ales too. Three hours later, the place still buzzing with post work drinkers and passers by. If down this way wouldn’t hesitate to come in again.

Really weird experience, leading to two of us forking out £40 for a lunch where we both left as hungry as we arrived. The menu we were given was British “nose to tail” specialities. Ox cheek or liver seemed a bit heavy duty for lunch but we ordered ham hock and a turbot - the best options from a bad choice. We waited over 40 minutes (making us late back to the office) while other tables who arrived after us were served and left. We noticed they were eating such things as burgers or fish & chips that were not on our menu. Eventually the food arrived. My £17 turbot was the size of my palm and disappeared in a few bites. The ham hock was incredibly salty. After a tasting, neither of us could eat it. Sides of chips were also liberally covered in salt. (A heavy handed chef - thanks, but I can salt my own food.) “Poisonous” was my comment to the server. She took one portion away and replaced it with unsalted chips. You might also ask why I had to order sides with a tiny lunchtime main that cost £17? I know I did. After an hour our bill had no adjustments for the delay, or uneaten ham hock nor did we receive any decent apology. We asked about the alternate menu and were eventually told - after an incomprehensible story about it being Tuesday - that it was on the blackboard. I looked and saw two blackboards - neither had a menu on it. We left with the bar staff seeming to look at us as if we were trouble makers, or weird for ordering from the offbeat menu. Is there a hidden code we were unaware off to get a quick, good value meal in here like most other customers were enjoying? I assume regulars know the trick but no danger of me becoming one on this showing. I imagine I’ll be up tonight drinking water after the salt overload. A lunchtime meal to remember for all the wrong reasons.
