The Clachan in City of London, Westminster

Great place to spend the afternoon in Soho, and the meat pie is really good!

The lower floor is beautiful and the upper floor is equally beautiful. While you can have a drink and enjoy the pub culture downstairs, you can experience delicious food in a quiet atmosphere upstairs.

Friendly team, good selections of real ales and great tasting food.

Really great find for our visiting party.

live music, that's why we went in, had a good evening We had drinks not food

Traditional victorian pub on the edge of Soho. Decent food & cider at London prices. Nice location to take time out in the city..

they do not take id’s that arent european which is bs. do not recommend <333

Wonderfull Place, friendly People.. We will come back again..

Had a great time at The Clachan! The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff were friendly, and the drinks and food were excellent. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy — I’ll definitely be back

Very beautiful typical English pub. Possibility of ordering food and drink with a smartphone. Everything was good. We recommend.

Very nice London pub and good food. Enveloping atmosphere

Friendly staff, good atmosphere.

Great place! Atmosphere was amazing 👏🏼

Nice pub , noisy downstairs but ate upstairs which was lovely. Good choices , very reasonable prices and good food. Service was a bit slow .

I really enjoyed one of their homemade sodas mix

They weirdly wouldn’t accept American ID so they wouldn’t serve us even though we are all over 25. Kind of frustrating but other than that it was good.

It's a really friendy beautifull place. Victoria, Angelica are lovely persons and we were very good attended Thanks a lot Ang' an Vic' ❤️

The pie, the sausage with potato Mash and the Burger were all good. It's a nice Pub!

Great staff and great music highly recommend 👊🍺

Beautiful Victorian style venue. We ate with the children. Very friendly staff and spectacular cuisine. Excellent burgers, fish and chips but also the soup of the day and a crouton with mushrooms and spinach... I think the rest is also of a high standard.

Honestly I think kicking out minors at 9pm is wild when they're having dinner with their parents

Love this pub, always visit when in london

Once again this place didn’t disappoint. Excellent hospitality as always, thanks for a great evening!

I visited for lunch the other day, food was amazing, I’ve tried the fish and chip and was one of the best I ever had. I will definetly come back

It was an amazing visit. We had a delicious fish and chips. It was soft, flaky and the batter so crunchy 😍

Came with my friends on a Monday night and was served by the legend Mahesh! Great customer service, will definitely come back again!

One of my favorite spots in London! We come here every year for beer and fish&chips, and the Clachan always delivers! Looking forward to the next time 🫶

A very good place to meet up with people. Historic. Good beers.

Good pub fun and friendly service.

Great service from Mahesh! We went upstairs to the dining room and he took good care of us. I had the steak and ale pie - delicious.

Awesome fish and chips and great service! Highly recommend stopping here after a fun day of shopping day at Liberty London

I come here often for post-work drinks, this time I tried out the restaurant and even though it was full the lovely staff member Alex (who seemed to be working solo) was very accommodating and provided excellent service!

We loved it! Very nice Ambiente, nice Drinks and cool staff :)

a very good atmosphere and good music. ate snacks ... nachos was great.. problem is i prefered the place for the banner which says live music for fri, sat, sun days but no there was no live music🙄. except this nice place to try

It is an old pub and the restaurant was upstairs above a very busy bar. This is a Nicholsons pub so the menu is the same as all their venues which is adequate and filling. The waitress was outstanding and was excellent considering she was on her own and dealing with about six occupied tables. Only criticism was our table was very small so the wine bucket went on the floor. Food was good and hearty and sensibly priced for central London. This pub is a two minute walk to the London Palladium.

Amazing service from Alex! Friendly and made us feel special

Great service from Alex very helpful and professional

Excellent Classic pub with nice Beers and Pub food. We had Steak & Ale Pie and a selection of Little Finger Food things. All very Taste. Pain 50 GBP for two Mains, two Pints of Beer and a Diet Coke.

Very nice atmosphere and a great looking building both from the outside and inside. But the service was very bad, and the food not much better. Wanted to order a burger and was asked if I had any food allergies - that part was very considerate. I told them that I am allergic to peanuts but that I didn’t think it was relevant for the burger. The attitude of the staff changed from that moment. They made me sign a waiver that they weren’t responsible for any allergen contaminations and told me that the salsa that came with the burger had peanuts in it. Which of course surprised me a bit, who in their right mind puts peanuts in a salsa in a restaurant, and doesn’t state it on the menu? Anyway I asked if I could just get ketchup instead of salsa with the burger, if it was only a side, but the staff simply refused to serve me, and I had to approach another staff member. Then I had to tell the same story again and was also met with an annoyed attitude. She did however allow me to order the burger and with ketchup instead, but when it arrived, no ketchup was there. The burger was mediocre at best, I had expected a lot better. Furthermore the tables were not clean when we got here, all greasy, and they didn’t offer any napkins. I was also not able to get a receipt from my payment. Never before have I experienced that restaurant staff were rude and almost scared to serve me because of my allergies. Never before have I signed a waiver. Not coming back here

The guy playing music was exceptionally good. Great night enjoying the music along with a few nice drinks.

Such a great friday night with my workmates, Alex really made sure that we had a great time. Amazing employee.

Great atmosphere and visually impressive pub

Beautiful place, good atmosphere, but no effort to understand and error on the order

The staff on shift today 14th Feb 25 were wonderful and went the extra mile. Appreciated the help!

What a great pub! The service is amazing, and what a nice athmosphere

Hi came here for a quick lunch on my way to work, I had a fish and chips and it was on of the best I ever had. Definetly will come back to try more dishes.

Was great pub with great atmosphere, perfect for meeting friends

Stopped here because our Airbnb was close by. Had a lovely experience the first night, so we came back 2 more times during our trip. Clean and nice, good atmosphere. We ordered the chicken bites starter. Sauce was tangy and delicious. Great beers, Harvey's bitter was great. 5/5 well deserved

Excellents cocktails, servis rapidement et avec le sourire par Anand, dans une belle ambiance de pub un vendredi soir 😉 Superbe expérience !

Busy, but very efficient service.

Jake was fantastic amazing service Jake was fantastic amazing service Jake was fantastic amazing service Jake was fantastic amazing service Don't know hit so get this to 100 characters but Jake was great

Had a great time with great drinks. Jake’s service was phenomenal; made us feel very welcome and was up for a good laugh. Top lad. Definitely will be back

Think I found the new pub before theatre shows at The Palladium. Went there with a couple of friends and we had a great time. Had the beef brisket burger and damn! Very good stuff, super tasty, very juicy, great quality! We sat upstairs and it was a very quiet evening. Looked after the man Marahesh, who was a delight, very kind, polite, and always smiling. Will definitely come again. 🫡

English pub, in the heart of Soho, decorated with dark wood inside. We had all the typical dishes for lunch and everything was very good, especially the meat pie and the fish & chips, also the salmon and a red fruit treat. We were served by a very kind and friendly young girl, who made our time in the place easier and more comfortable. The price was moderate. Good place.

Visited this pub a couple Sundays ago and the service was fantastic. Great pint of Guinness and live music too! Will be visiting again soon!

Amazing place to spend some time, Victoria is the most helpful person in the world 😊 highly recommended

Lovely pub with great food and good service, really close to Oxford street and all commodities. You will need to order food at the bar on the ground floor or by QR code at the table. Special offers for drinks and food in the evening.

Lovely little pub in the heart of town. Nip upstairs to the pie room and try some great food. Thanks guys 5* deserved

If you’re looking for a pub that embraces inclusivity and common sense, this isn’t it. If you’re looking for a stage for a manager to showcase their terrible attitude and make up laws on the fly, well, congratulations, you’ve found your spot. I wouldn't trust this place to serve a cold pint of water, let alone uphold any sort of legal or moral standard. I’ve been living in London for over five years, and I’ve never encountered such a blatantly racist and laughable "policy" in my life. Apparently, at this pub, only certain IDs are "acceptable," but not those from other countries. Why, you ask? Well, according to the charming and very professional manager (who looks like the hunchback of notre dame), it’s “the law.” Let’s be clear: as a lawyer, this is not the law. It was just a racist policy of a pub that clearly doesn’t know how to handle diversity. To further fuel the absurdity, the manager whipped out a DIY, laminated sheet of paper (which looked like it was crafted by a 5-year-old) claiming what IDs were acceptable. MADE. UP. RULES. At no point did this magically appear as a legal mandate, and yet here she was convinced that somehow everyone else in Soho, let alone London, was doing it wrong. She also claimed it was only American IDs that they can’t accept, but then starting stuttering and making new laws up when she saw we had Hong Kong IDs. Let’s be clear: this isn’t a policy; it’s racism with a side of delusion. It’s deeply laughable to think that a pub can just randomly decide what’s legal based on some homemade signs. What's next? Bouncers with a Tarot card deck deciding who can enter? For reference, we were served just a week ago with the same IDs in this very establishment, without issue. But when confronted with that little bit of inconvenient truth, she proceeded to argue and say “she wasn’t there last week”. So, what? You’re the creator of law? She also refused to give us her name when asked. I’m writing from the pub next door that, shocker! had no trouble accepting our valid, legal identification documents. Guess they must be “breaking the law” according to you? Maybe you can loan them your laminated sheet to make things more clear!

The tastiest fish and chips & sausages I have ever had in London. Old cask ales are superb and I enjoyed the vibes here so much! Highly recommended!

Great coffee , nice crowd and very frisky staff

Overpriced most of the staff were friendly however we witnessed some customers being treated rudely.

“This pub is an absolute gem! The food is delicious, the ambiance is warm and welcoming, but what truly sets it apart is the amazing people—friendly, attentive, and always making you feel at home. It’s my go-to spot for family gatherings and catching up with friends. Every visit is a joy!

If I could give zero stars I would. They don’t serve Americans and reject any American ID. They were so rude despite getting a drink here last week. At least be consistent. Americans stay away. Remember 1776.

If I could give zero stars I would. The service was horrible. They would not accept any form of id except passport. The waitstaff was rude and unreasonable. They pick and chose who they would wait on. I will never come back to this pub, and I will tell everyone I know to avoid this pub. Americans are not welcome.

Me with my friends visited clachan for lunch.It was a very good experience for me.Bar staffs are so friendly. Mahesh served my drinks and he is so fast and kind to customers.Food got delivered by Anand and he is too nice to us.Checked proper allergens as well.Altogether it was a great experience and hopefully I will visit clachan soon again.

Great hidden gem of Carnaby Street or great stop behind Liberty shop. Very vibrant place, full of love all day long. Selection of beers is jaw dropping

Exquisitely delicious. Serenial bliss. Fandabbydosy

Great pub. I always pop in when I'm in London. Can't wait to visit again. See you soon Clachan team!

What can I say about the clachan. Well, Ill tell you what If you like beer they got it, if you like gin, they got that to and if you like wine, man they have the red one and the white and a rose colour also (crazy). Service is top of the notch as always and every time I order they bring me the thing I order and then I pay, fabulous service. They don't judge me when I come out of liberty with all my shopping and want to sit in the corner with my spiced rum and lime cordial drink. Atmosphere is nice.

It was super straightforward to arrange my celebration evening inside this beautiful period English pub, everything was easily kept track of through emails and answered promptly. The staff were attentive and the setting was perfect for the event!

I recommend the place to everyone. A wonderful charming place!!!

I visited a great pub and attended a fantastic event there. It’s definitely a tradition worth preserving—an essential part of British culture

Had a private function and everything was perfect, great staff and lovely atmosphere. I recommend!

Lovely old school yet modern pub with lovely staff and great food! Thank you for a lovely evening!!

Wonderful place to eat lovely staff that are so helpful definitely recommend

Angelica was incredible. Best bartender I've ever seen.

The food was very good, the service was nice and smiling. Beautiful interior, great atmosphere. I recommend .

There is no better place in central London. Thank you very much. Food great. Service...great

Quite a busy "Tourist" pub close by Oxford Circus. It's part of a chain so same food and selections as other pubs. Their online order service (QR code) was very slow. We were lucky to get a table and grabbed some burgers and beer. Burgers a bit on the dry side.

Great food and drinks 🥰 had a very good time. Thank you!!

We were a party of five who booked a table to have lunch before going to the theatre. Cosy pub with dining area upstairs. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. We were served by Vittoria who was professional , helpful, friendly and so efficient. There is a wide choice of food to suit different budgets. We opted for grilled sea bass with mussels and prawns, and steak and ale pie - both delicious. We had lemon tart for pudding and they even served a portion of ice cream with caramel sauce ( which wasn’t on the menu). Overall we really enjoyed our lunch experience. One tiny point- it’s an old building and the stairs were rather steep (we were a party of very senior ladies and we managed).

Lots of good beer on tap. Good atmosphere. Real old and great classic English pub. Nice here and my favorite in SOHO..

We were there as a group of five before Christmas and Don and Akhil made us feel very welcome indeed. Food was good and well-priced. Enjoyable visit all round!

Had the pie very good value. Pub had a good vibe.

Had a great time at the Clachan. Great range of beers and food was amazing!

The Clachan is top notch, I took my parents there who are visiting me from overseas. The atmosphere was inviting, and a good escape from the crowded streets. The service was impeccable. The food was great. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, from the steak pie to chicken schnitzel. The portions were generous.The pub itself has a lovely ambiance, and the booths at the back of the pub are definitely the best seats in the house. The Guinness was creamy too and could tell it had been stored well. I would highly recommend coming here, if you're looking for a pub around Carnaby/Soho.

Great pub, super friendly staff!

I came here on a lively Thursday night with a few friends. The atmosphere was great! I had a few pints and the spinach and falafel burger which was a delicious veggie option. The service was great even on a busy night and the staff were really friendly & helpful. Will definitely visit again when passing through central London.

Really poor quality food served on 4 Jan 25 where we had dinner for 5. Steak and ale pie had 4 small pieces of meat, with a rock hard crust and the soggiest carrots ever. Fish and chips came without the scampi and with the coldest chips, and the burger was average at best. Really disappointing experience.

A moment with friends over a beer. I recommend it

As italian, it's one of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten!

Great restaurant! There is a “PUB” part and a restaurant part so there is no noise from the PUB. Very pleasant, great service and the food is very good! I advise you to book!!

I was not very impressed with the sea bass, prawn , and new potatoes dish. The prawns were like chewing on bullets. This was supposed to have been cooked in a lobster sauce. There were far too many potatoes and not enough vegetables (1 piece of stem broccoli, that was it). This dish proved to be rather under whelming for myself and one other.

Bar staff is rude, ignorant and all amateurs has no respect ...expert in ignoring customers with an horrible attitude, polish accent barmen servet after calling him, despite he had my pint on his hand show me the door... How dare you !! As a regular , neither me nor mates, never will come and take the staff chip on shoulder...byee

Poor Service , one wrong meal & another meal missed.

Excellent food, service & atmosphere. If you’re in London make sure to visit the Clachen. Highly recommend

Very popular pub, so often crowded with lack of seating. Staff very slow, drinks choice poor and staff have little knowledge of their stock.

We were looking around the area for a place to eat and came across this pub. Food was good, service was perfect! We came with children so we had a bit of special requests food-wise and Johns was more than happy to help us! Thank you Johns! Perfect English pub with true English vibe! Hope to see you soon :) B. Family

A fantastic old school pub with a great selection of cask ales including Old Peculiar
