The Cheshire Cheese in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Paid £15 for a side portion at best! Chicken and bacon salad. Not impressed at all. The salad you had before the ‘new menu’ was better! Bring it back!!

Would like to thank the staff of the Cheese for hosting our summer get together. A great time was had by all. Great deal on a three course menu and good beer and wine selection.

Have often stopped off here before getting the train home. Really friendly & speedy service. Think Manager Mark has done wonders for the place. Enjoyed the live music too

every time I come to Cheshire Cheese I have the London Pale Ale, It is great! Recommended and served by fellow spurs fan Ermiyas. would 100% recommend !

The staff and management were excellent, the food was super and the atmosphère was very confortable

Great atmosphere, good food and drink.

Met some friends here recently and was well impressed with this pub. 😊 Great beers, great food and very helpful staff. Highly recommended

Nice little pub and very handy to get to the tower of London attraction and Roman walls right outside. Service was great and prices very reasonable for what you expect from London. Whilst the selection was a bit ordinary the food that came was good.

Friendly staff, good drinks, good food

Lovely food Ermiyas was so kind to us we were with friends who are visually impaired he went above & beyond for them they really appreciated it & we appreciated it too nice music too 😍

WHAT A NIGHT! We had heard about the Wednesday night " Choir Night" It was like a free concert! Honestly you need to make time to visit this pub, you won't be disappointed! 🙏

We were made fun of for being tourists (we do have accents), and then we were made fun of because we booked a table (?!? Why even offering a booking option ?!?). We quietly left then, because I was concerned they might spit in our food and drinks - the demeanor towards us was kind of rude and hostile. Wouldn't recommend it to tourists.

Bar staff very helpful and happy to help you

Good, no frills, cosy place with good beers.

A great little spot to stop and relax. Great kids meals with all the sport for the adults.

We came a group of 6 for beers, burgers and more. Unfortunately the 5 beef burgers we took were burned. Next time other place...

We were staying at the doubletree across the street and stumbled in and this place is fantastic. Food is great, drinks flow, and the staff is outstanding. If you’re by Tower Hill and need food or a pint this is the place to go.

We stumbled across this pub a few years ago & were intrigued by its character from the outside. It has now become our favourite pub to visit when we come to London. Staff are extremely friendly, service is fantastic & we are always made to feel welcome. Would highly recommend a visit.

We happened upon the pub on our way to a tour. The food was fantastic and the service was wonderful. Friendly and hospitable. Definitely recommend.

Came in after work for some food and a drink, Jamie and Mark were very hospitable. Would recommend.

Regularly visit this pub after work in the city. Really friendly bar staff and great atmosphere. On Wednesday evenings they have a pop choir that sings which is great fun to sing and dance along with. Watched a couple of euros games here too - they have loads of tvs and the sound on. Definitely recommend.

Good atmosphere, this place is located under a bridge. I had the tower bridge ale here, it was quite tasty!

Comfort food. Gotta order at the counter

Food was cold, starters arrived with main course. Told them my veg was served cold but no response.

The aesthetics and food of the restaurant are very good. I recommend it

GREAT bar/restaurant!! As a group we really liked the food served and it doesn't leave you hungry not even in the slightest. Really recommendable

Great pub , helpful staff , good food

We visited on our trip from Australia and honestly this was the best English pub we have visited so far!! The atmosphere, service, drinks and food was bloody awesome!!! Mark who worked at the pub was fantastic and looked after us well! Thank you Mark :) we will be back soon!!

We came here based on the hotel's recommendation, nice atmosphere, good food. During our short trip we were there twice. For those who are hungry, I recommend a large fish & chips set - it's worth it.

Good selection of beer and surprisingly good food!

Quite a nice pub with live music

Great atmosphere, good food, and friendly, unpretentious service—I couldn't ask for a better pub experience!

Lovely little pub hidden away near to Tower Hill tube station with a great atmosphere, friendly staff and a great selection of food and drink.

I’m from the US. First time here. Fish and chips were smashing good! Service gr8! Beer delish and cider even better!

Exactly what we were expecting as we were looking for a traditional English pub. Recommended by a tour guide so we tried it. Fish & Chips for lunch and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. No regrets!!

Dived in here last night to get out of the rain and to our surprise their was a singer on who was very good and so we ended up staying for the rest of the evening. Nice wine selection and overall a nice London pub.

What is in the tower hill area and passed by this pub. I decided to go inside for some lunch and was not disappointed staff were friendly and helpful.

This pub is the perfect place to meet friends and relax over a glass of what you fancy. We go every Wednesday to unwind and practice informally as the London City Voices choir and always get a warm and friendly welcome. The whole pub including its customers and staff come together creating a really uplifting community feel and a great vibe! Thanks to the Cheshire Cheese team and customers for making this possible , for making our evening extra special and for the great drinks too !!!

Awesome pub under the bridge! Had a very classic feel and the Guinness on tap was spot on.

Amazing food, staff are so welcoming and friendly especially the Boss. Great atmosphere, love everything about this traditional pub. Superb guys, .ore than 5 stars

Tasty, affordable prices, bar-like, short waiting time, large portions, British cuisine with Indian influences.

Lovely old drinking establishment lots of atmosphere well worth a visit.

Stopped in after a day of touring to have a Sunday Roast of turkey, accompanied by a delicious Guinness. Nice way to end a busy day. Will stop in again next month with the littles, they've a nice menu.

Lovely evening watching the boxing thankyou to Ellie for great customer service experience.

We found this pub by chance. The fish n chips lasagna and burger were excellent. I recommend !

Great pub , friendly staff and cracking beer. Won a free pint on the beer roulette wheel Will definitely come back next time I'm on London

Little gem found near fenchurch Street train station.

Stopped by for lunch and had a lovely meal with my mom. Had a great chat with Jamie about the pub and London life.

Go every Wednesday, lovely atmosphere, great staff, good drinks standard price for London. Space downstairs and upstairs so there is always a seat, food great x

Nice classic pub, good beer and nice personnel. Will come back next time.

Visited this pub as part of a London walk. Good location near the train station so there were lots of customers here. Lots of seating and an upstairs area. Good range of drinks including a draught range. We didn't eat here but the food looked nice that was being delivered to the table next to us. The servers were friendly.

I had a wonderful meal here after visiting the Tower of London. I was served by Jamie who was fantastic and assisted me with what vegetarian options I might like. He looked after me very well.

Somewhere away from the crowds, an atmospheric place under the bridge with very good food, a large selection of beer and various drinks, plus 3 extra dart boards on the first floor. While you're waiting for your order, you can play a game. It's really worth getting off the main trail and taking advantage of the benefits

The 1st UK pub on the our trip and it wasn’t topped. All I can say is WOW! Great food, drinks and service; Jamie could not have gone out of his way any more for us. Pub was a busy with suits during their lunch and he still made time to talk to us about our trip and Canada - I really hope he gets over to Vancouver soon! Really couldn’t recommend this pub enough. Come for the food, drinks and atmosphere, but stay for the service. You will not be disappointed!

Didn't have what I wanted to drink. Only 4 out of 8 taps had beer. Ordered starts, chicken was supposed to have a glaze and herb and garlic dip. Came dry with a side of bbq sauce. Got the doritos topped with cheese sauce and salsa. Was cold. Tables were dirty. No waitress at all from what I could tell.

This is hands down the best pub I've ever been to. Mark is a Royal Gem. Lovely atmosphere. Great Fish and Chips. Coldest Guinness in town. Cheers!

Music way to loud to be able to hear yourself talk. Ok for a night club which this is not. Also stop doing food at 5.20 in the evening because your busy is laughable. Oh well you live and move on.

As I work in the city I have been coming to the Cheshire Cheese for many years now. The selection of food and drink is very good. The staff are amazing, always very helpful and make everyone feel welcome and at home. I would thoroughly recommend a visit

Nice please to visit and very good fish and chips .

Okay, drinks expensive, London tourist price

Went on a Sunday. Main barman who takes orders rude and abrupt. Food took a long time to arrive (but they did warn of this). Various items on menu not available, scampi very mushy, chicken over cooked. No milk for tea. Very poor experience.

Yummy burger. Good fish. Okay fries.

This review will cover the not-great pieces before getting to all the good stuff, so read on! I’ll start by saying I’m Canadian-American and I love my food very well seasoned and my beer dark and heavy haha, so I’m biased when it comes to food. The food was hot and quick to come out with large, hearty portions, but it was tasteless and unseasoned in my opinion haha. This was my first attempt at eating standard English food, and I was very sad that the stereotypes might be true regarding the food (TBD after eating at more places because one is not a proper sampling to make generalizations like that). I tried three different brews on tap (all local English brews) and they all tasted light and just kind of weird? Again, will need to continue trying English beer before stating they’re all watered-down tasting and hoppy (I exclusively asked for amber beers). The whole upstairs inside smelled like cigarette smoke, which is fine for drinking beer but bad for when you’re eating food. Maybe it was just the patrons all smoking and coming in or the windows needing to be sealed better because I didn’t see anyone smoking inside. It was very cold too though and the windows were drafty so maybe that’s why. The big sofa-type chairs were really comfy though & tables were clean! Despite all this regarding food & atmosphere, the service was SUPERB. It was so good I didn’t even want to dock one star on my review. I wish I knew the bartenders name who worked there when I came in, because she was so kind, patient, helpful, friendly, and just completely lovely, both in words and appearance. What a gem. She went above and beyond to help me acquire a beer to enjoy, letting me sample them after I brought the first back (I was thinking the barrel must’ve run out because it was so tasteless and light that I thought there was something wrong with the tap, not believing the beer just actually tasted like that lmfao) and she spent time talking about which brews were new or popular and answering my questions about recommendations and so on. Truly impressive service. Such a delight to experience. Management must’ve taken previous reviews to heart about the bathrooms being dirty, because when I used them they were exceptionally clean and tidy and neat. I was so impressed by that. At a pub, I never expect toilets to be clean. Lastly, this is a convenient location right off the metro station, & I was happy to find that the televisions were not obnoxiously loud, nor the music, nor the patrons. Granted, it was a Monday night after working hours, so not a weekend or anything, but still.

Recommended by a friend for the 2-4-1 cocktails so myself and another friend thought we would try this place out. It was very busy meaning there was a buzzing vibe and the cocktails were lovely. Lots of city boys drinking but also a good few tables of women. Jamie looked after us, we will be back for more cocktails soon.

Popped into this pub after work with some friends. The food was a while coming out but tasted amazing, proper pub food. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning

Went in for a quiet pint on a Wed night @ 8pm. Next thing - 60 people turn up and start singing. Apparently it happens every week. Quite cool. Beers were good too.

Always love heading to this pub - very welcoming and friendly staff! Get yourself there on a Wednesday and you might just get to see a choir raise the roof with their singing! 😉

The Cheshire cheese is a large and welcoming pub with a lovely dining area upstairs for a nice meal and really lovely Bar downstairs for a more casual setting. The Staff are lovely and they always have a great selection of beer, the sport is often on and on many Wednesday evenings a local choir comes to sing which is lovely to see and hear.

We found this pub to enjoy the Grand National and it was a great spot. Convenient to the tube and great, reasonably priced drinks. We didn’t eat, but the food looked great.

Brilliant staff and a really nice atmosphere. There was a massive singalong on the Wednesday night we were there, apparently it happens every Wednesday. It was a total knees-up!

Great pub, quick service, great variety of drinks.

Love this pub, it’s modern traditional, good pub food and the staff are awesome. Wednesday night when London City Voices are in and leading a sing song, is incredible.

Love this pub, it’s modern traditional, good pub food and the staff are awesome. Wednesday night when London City Voices choir are in and leading a sing song, is incredible.

We regularly visit the Cheshire Cheesecake every Wednesday after our London City Voices choir rehearsal - and do a bit of casual singing in the pub! It’s a welcoming place - friendly atmosphere, good value wine (very important) and the food is tasty too. All good.

Great prices for the city and good pub

Tried to overcharge me. Rude staff. Place needs a good clean. Much better pubs nearby.

Found this amazing pub by chance and it was the absolute best! Food was great and the staff were so friendly ! Will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, great service! I’m an American visiting and visited three times during my visit as I stayed nearby. Lots of other pubs around but this was the best choice. Food is reasonably priced and the wings are a great deal. I travelled with my family and found this to be a wonderful place for a meal with your family with kids!

Chicken sandwich was just okay, fries came and were cold, could have been an off night but my dinner was just plain average:

The pub is quaint and visually appealing from outside, however, the food was less than average and the kids meal came cold. Ordering is self-serve at the bar (even for table service) or through the app which was convenient. Beware that ordering through the app requires you to close out the tab before you get your food and it took the better part of 30 minutes for the food to arrive on a not very busy Wednesday afternoon at 17:30. No service fee was included on the bill, so you get what you pay for with that aspect.

Really impressed with allergy knowledge of member of staff who served us. Will definitely return next time in London. Food tasty and filling too.

Nice and quite welcoming pub near Tower Hill metro. The place isn't very big, you order both food and beers at the counter. I ate a rather good chicken pie, otherwise without infamy or praise. I wasn't impressed but if you happen by here it's a good place to stop for a bite to eat.

Good Food Football Matches can be watched here Low Price Recommend it to everybody

An amazing place worth 5 stars easily.....we found this place by accident and all I can say is wow, amazing service, friendly staff, and the prices are very good indeed. Me and my partner both had the steak and it was cooked to perfection I like mine very rare and my future wife likes medium rare and they cooked them perfectly to exactly how we wanted. If you ever in this part of the city then definitely come here for lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed.

Very unfriendly staff, dirty and sticky tables. We wanted to eat something, but left it alone and went to a nearby bar.

The worst bar in all london! Slow and ugly.

Great pub with good selection of 🍻 beers

Had an amazing time here at this pub! The Atmosphere was great, best in the area by far and the staff were friendly and service was quick. They had a good selection of drinks and food, which tasted great. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

I had by far the worst meal I've had in years in restaurants. I am surprised that there is such a low quality of food. My gravy, mashed potatoes and vegetables were served cold on a cold plate. Only the pie was lukewarm. I couldn't eat the food because it was cold and disgusting. What's more, all the dishes were served without any love at all. In addition, everything was lovelessly decorated and not really clean in the upper area. Please don't go there! There are so many nice and good restaurants in London.

It’s been a long here wandering but found a dream pub atmosphere here with perfecto food and supreme quality of drink. The best part about my experience was having great customer feedback conversation by the manager of pub about my orders. Truly mesmerising vibe here.🥂

Just had a wonderful evening at this venue. I’m here from couple of years but never saw such a perfect combo of food and drink simultaneously serving also….. very blissful experience and great communication with Mark the managing person of this amazing pub.🥰🥰

Experienced fish and chips perfection. Crispy, golden, and utterly delicious. A true taste of London's best!

Our family's visit to Cheshire Cheese was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff welcomed us warmly and provided exceptional service throughout our meal. With options catering to every member of our family, including my dad, mom, sister, little brother, and myself, the menu featured a diverse selection of dishes, including plenty of choices for the kids. From the delicious fish and chips to the hearty steak and ale pie, each dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere of the pub added to the enjoyment of our dining experience, making it a memorable outing for the whole family. We left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces, already planning our next visit.

Celebrated a family gathering here and couldn't have been more pleased with our Sunday roast experience. From the succulent meats to the delectable assortment of sides, every dish was a delight to the taste buds. The staff were incredibly accommodating, catering to our large group with efficiency and warmth. Plus, the ambiance was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. Highly recommend stopping by for a Sunday roast that's sure to satisfy both your appetite and your soul.

I recently visited this pub for their Sunday roast, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. The roast beef was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, accompanied by a generous portion of vegetables and crispy roast potatoes. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring that our experience was enjoyable from start to finish. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm of the place, making it the ideal spot for a relaxing Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend for anyone craving a delicious Sunday roast and excellent service.

Quiet pub near the tower of London, has a variety of beers and drinks and also has food. We ordered the traditional fish and chips, steak pie, English breakfast and lasagna and everything was very delicious and the prices were quite good.

Cutting down 3 individual pieces of meat and mushing them together to the size of a single slither of beef and calling it a meet trio is insulting - they were scraps at best and couldn't tell which was which. Would have asked for a refund had we not agreed beforehand to wait over half an hour for the roast potatoes to be cooked (which turned out to be aunt Bessie's) and been starving. Extremely disappointed and going away with a bitter tastes in our mouths. Small portions can be just about justified when the quality is good but not when it is as poor as this.

Visited with family and friends. The bar staff were friendly and helpful and it had a lovely atmosphere. It’s worth popping in for a visit if your in the area

Met some friends in here last week. First time I’ve been in. It was friendly and welcoming and the staff were pleasant. Definitely worth popping in if your in the area

I went here expecting a fair meal for the price whilst in a touristy area but unfortunately the food was not to a fair standard and had to wait a long while for it. To their credit the staff did warn of the waiting time.
