The Coal Hole in City of London, Westminster

Valeria was lovely and very attentive. The food was excellent. Highly recommend.

Nice little pub a few minutes walk from Charing cross station. I always appreciate a pub that does fruity ciders and they sell rekorderlig here. Good atmosphere. Prices what you would expect.

Fantastic atmosphere and great service at the Coal Hole! Dom went above and beyond to make our visit memorable—friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Highly recommend

Dom, dia and anand were amazing. Brilliant knowledge of drinks and amazing food props to the chefs!

Great staff, very welcoming and knowledgeable on the ale. Genuine old English pub. Definitely worth a stop. I didn't eat but food looked good.

Visited here on many occasions. The staff are always friendly. Not eaten for a while but they hold a pretty good range of ales.

A storefront that tempts you, but the welcome is not there. The manager is not interested in customers. Nice waitress ^^. Fish and chips 20 pounds.... If it's a brasserie you're looking for, it's not the right place.

Great little Pub full of character on the strand. A stones throw from Covent Garden. You should stop in for a break from the busy market if you get a chance, it's worth your time. It's very close to the river also and a nice stroll down the small alleyway to its side takes you straight to the Thames.

Another typical London pub that appeals to tourists with the usual menu, but not to be ignored. The dark wood, low lit interior always hits the mark, and the extensive selection of hand-pumped beers shouldn’t be ignored. Yes, the menu has the fish and chips, sausages or a choice of pies and mash, and my party thought them well presented and generous, if not the most tasty. My chicken schnitzel was too dry - a sauce would improve it instead of a patty of garlic butter (and I had two)

Great little pub with lots of atmosphere and drinks are a great price. Especially enjoy my Rekorderlig glass!! Cheers!

Great place! The food and service was amazing and at a reasonable price! This quirky pub is definitely worth visiting!

Had an amazing time at The Goal Hole! Valeria provided exceptional service, attentive and friendly. The food was LEKKER - Cozy atmosphere and great vibes. Highly recommend! Valeria's hospitality made our experience truly special. Can't wait to come back! 5/5 stars

Absolutely loved my experience at The Coal Hole! The food was incredible - every bite was a delight! But what really made it stand out was the amazing service by Valeria. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The vibes were spot on - cozy and welcoming. Can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious menu, highly recommend!"

Great food and service! Make a reservation for table service.

We were walking along Stark looking for somewhere to sit and eat. It had been a long day of traveling. It was easy to figure out what to do to get a table and order. Table service is available if you prefer and you can reserve ahead of time. The menu is diverse and everything we ordered was plentiful and delicious. We may be back during theater night!

Nice place great br staff Place has been around for years great atmosphere 😀

A gorgeous, old London pub. Just a lovely, lively atmosphere and friendly bar staff. Could sit in here for hours and just 'be'.

We went for dinner and it was the first time we had eaten the famous English pies but we were very surprised by the texture and flavor, it was the best thing we had eaten on our entire trip through London. The place is super spacious with a typical English pub style. The waiters were very nice, and that day there was live music by Shanilee. We had a great time.

Delicious food served rapidly with a smile. Very friendly and helpful staff in a real pub experience : dark atmospheric wooden furnishings, very clean and the warm and welcoming pub atmosphere. We shall definitely come again.

Very kind and accommodating staff. We brought a group of 25 students and they all loved it! Be sure to try the fish and chips ☺️

Was good for this area of London

Good pub, in the Theater district on The Strand in London. Can get very busy, so be prepared for a crowd.

Real English pub. Great food and average prices. The signature pie served with mashed potatoes is amazing. Recommended

Always a great venue to meet up - either to chat or watch sport. Nice food _ great pies :)

Nice place. Food good. Average price. Nice decor.

Very cool spot, the staff was very friendly and the live music was good. The performer interacted with the people, taking requests and ensuring people were having fun. Lots of variety of beers for a decent price. Definetly wanna come back.

Great fish & chips and beef pie. Valeria is a fantastic server!

Good beer and generally good food but vegetables underdone for our taste. Music a little loud for an old atmospheric pub like this

Really cool, unique, historic pub with a laid back vibe. Good food with good drinks.

We have been here multiple times, and it is a very lovely little pub. It is always super busy, but it is significantly more expensive than the average across London. Staff aren’t always the happiest, but the range of beers on tap is usually pretty good!

Booked a table here prior to taking my Daughter to watch Mean Girls at The Savoy Theatre. It was her 15th Birthday and third visit to The Coal Hole, she loves the food here. Excellent service, very good value for money and fantastic food. A special Thank You to our hostess today for the chocolate sauce message she wrote on the desert plate for Chloe on her birthday!.

Love the Coal Hole. Super good bar team and delicious pints

The Coal Hole is absolutely amazing! We came from California and would come back just to come here, it’s exactly the pub experience we were hoping for. Welcoming, plenty of great beers, great food with a buy 3 special to sample different foods

Extraordinary place that takes you to bygone times. Decoration of an authentic English bar. It's worth it. Close family attention from an Italian camera. Thanks.

The booking system is clear and helpful. We had a warm reception from a staff member who guided us to our table. The building has a nice comfortable atmosphere.The menu was good and we enjoyed the food. The service was great. A special thank you to our waitress Valeria who was very attentive and cheerful.

Gorgeous historical pub. Food was ok but overpriced

Cosy cellar bar. Good ale selection

The Security person on the entrance door makes you feel safe when inside the Coal hole , the bar staff were pleasant and efficient. The live singer on this particular evening was great he was an accomplished musician who allowed his audience to participate with requests all evening and created a great enjoyable evening for everyone in the pub.

Really great pub, nice atmosphere great music and quick service at the bar. We had a drink and didn’t have time to stay for food this time we’ll be back

Everything was great. Large sunday roast

Good selection of beer on for my taste,we sat upstairs in the dinning area but when walking through the main bar appeared to have a good atmosphere,I will probably go back.

Pub was quite cold so I needed to keep my coat on to eat. Went for Sunday Roast which was ok. The Yorkshire puddings were over cooked, the veg was cooked nicely and the nut roast was decent enough. However the chicken roast dinner has 2 huge chicken pieces, compared with the small portion of nut roast. I think this could be looked at. Prices for both are similar so should be equal. Drinks had a good choice.

Beautiful old English pub that I thoroughly recommend.

Everything was delicious! The service was perfect, thanks Evi!

Igor is one of the best calm and cool collective workers. He was left on his own during a high profile event and he dealt with it amazingly. A true gentleman and hard worker . Well impressed and asset to the company

Great old pub with a fantastic selection of draught drinks.

A great traditional old British pub feel right in the Strand in London… Busy but beautiful and atmospheric place to have a drink. We didn’t try the food but I’ve heard it’s pretty good.

Great location for a catch up in London. Good service with some reasonable food.

Lovely food and amazing service from our waitress Angelita.

A fabulous London pub. Great beer fantastic staff and service and brilliant atmosphere. A must visit if your near the area.

Fantastic traditional old bar with history. Seated upstairs so got dinner with table service. Waiting staff were lovely and food served quickly. Absolutely delicious food. Would eat here again. Only comment would be that the background music was soooo loud that it was difficult to hold a conversation. Not sure to who’s benefit it was on…..Other people close by said the same to us. Gents toilets were very unclean. Not a job anyone wants to do but Expected more attention to items like this in such a lovely place. Thanks for an awesome evening

We went as a team for after dinner drinks and was blown away by the great vibe. There was live music and great vibe singing along to all the classics.

Highly recommend the omelette and avocado on toast (it’s delicious with marinated salmon)

Nice old boozer cracking atmosphere 👌

Historic old pub on the Strand. Nice service and atmosphere. Lucky Saint on tap.

Lovely pub with an interesting history. Bar staff very friendly and amenable.

Old school London pub, great food, awesome atmosphere!!!

Popped in over xmas period, they seated us without a reservation upstairs. Valeria served us and couldn't have been more efficient or welcoming. Food was lovely, would definitely visit again. Great historic pub with a wonderful atmosphere.

When in London we always visit The Coal Hole for dinner. Their fish pie is just delicious - highly recommended to try! Warm greetings to Valeria who served our table last time :)

Valeria shared a great dessert and coffee during Xmas :)

Basement bar can get very cramped when busy, nice range of beers and friendly bar staff.

Dinner for two, we chose two dishes, one Steak and Nicholson's Pale Ale Pie, another, OCEAN FISH & CHIPS and Camden Ale beer. Both delicious dishes, enough to satisfy you. The service of professional waitresses/waiters without delays in service, attentive to answering our questions about the menu.

We had some superb food: great Fish and Chips and Bangers and Mash. Chiara was great and ensured fodder and drinks were promptly served.

Came as a party of 11,had to pre-order food. The nachos were bland as hell, They served the vegetarian pie to someone who ordered rabbit pie, The gave the vegetarian the fish pie The as everyone was finishing mains they brought a like warm veg pie. The apple crumble was powdery and bland. More berry than apple. The service was dreadful, for pre-ordered food I've never seen it that badly executed. The server offered to give me my soft drink for free as a sorry for the mix up with food. The soft drink cost maybe 25p to put together. The veg mains should have been free. Wouldn't recommend unless you are drunk from the bar downstairs.

Lovely old London pub. Opposite theatre so convenient. We booked a table to eat but the.bar was large with plenty of room.

Fantastic pub with friendly and welcoming staff. Nice relaxing atmosphere and a top pint of ale

Great service by Evi food great atmosphere brilliant lovely Restaurant

Nice place, as a tourist we were looking for a generic English Pub and we found one. Was nice to sit upstairs for dinner. Great atmosphere! Great food!

Great service, lovely food. Really good atmosphere and good value for money.

Loved the Christmas decorations. Food was ok, standard pub food. Friendly staff and quick service.

Absolutely fabulous little place. Don’t be deceive? it’s actually bigger inside than what it looks! Mezzanine restaurant seating area and basement bar with a secret seating comfy lounge at the far end of the bar, with an iron gate for a great place to sit in a private room for small party. The Manager Said, and his staff are so friendly and accommodating, creating a lovely atmosphere and welcoming environment for everyone. Food was delicious and presented so beautifully. Thanks so much to Said and staff for hosting a wonderful Christmas get together evening which my colleagues and I enjoyed so much.

Great service by Evi. Really nice girl <3 Great food and drinks, nice atmosphere with live band. +++++++++++++++++++++

Un Pub inglés en toda regla. Junto a Covern Garden. Gran variedad de cervezas de grifo más de 20 diferentes. Ambiente agradable decoración en madera y con un pequeño comedor en la parte alta. Nos atendió Sophia, sudamericana, muy muy agradable y nos aconsejó muy bien. Queríamos el Asado de los domingos. Nos costó el asado 20,50 libras más el 10% de servicio.

london is notorious for overpriced mediocre food, and as visitors we took a gamble on The Coal Hole for lunch with friends. It was extremely busy, as was central London that day. The staff were great when we wanted to swap the booked table for a corner setting. The menu was average pub fare, mainly pies and fish and chips. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was great. Enjoyed the whole lunch.

Classic vintage pub, busy with after work crowd, felt very lively and engaging. We had a work group event. Food was excellent, wine was good. Had some delays in service and they ran out of mulled wine early in the evening. Other than that wonderful experience. Everyone in my group loved it overall!

Excellent service and very considerate staff.

always love the atmosphere in this place especially at Christmas

Our food was beautiful. The hand made beef pie and veggies with gravy were perfection! Loved the other small plates of venison and mushrooms. Best we had experienced in all pubs around here.

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and allergens so you can order in confidence. The food arrived promptly and hot. Made to feel like a VIP from the moment we entered.

Excellent service! The bar staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain in detail all the beers available. Your recommendations were on point and really enhanced our evening. You can tell that they do their work with passion. We'll definitely be back

Good old fashioned London pub. Stopped in for Lunch on Friday and had a lovely meal with my partner. I had a brisket pie and a pint of neck oil which was outstanding and my other half had a festive burger which she said was excellent. Service was spot on and the place had a great buzz and mix of young and old. Highly recommend

Couldn’t fault this excellent pub. Atmosphere and service were first class. Our young lady server couldn’t be more friendly and helpful . We both had fish and chips which were as good as any we’ve had in London. Reasonable price for food and drinks. We’re back in London in July and this will be our first stop for a meal..

Vibrant atmosphere with music playing.

Definitely will return. Lovely pie, huge and full of meat.

Chiara was wonderful and accommodating. Found us a table for two even though they were really busy. Great pub, great wine. Perfect for a pre theatre drink. Thank you 🤩

Visited this place for lunch and came back for drinks. The holiday decorations were superb and the old world charm made for a perfect atmosphere. Delicious drinks and hearty foods

Fab place! Can’t wait to come back!

Really awesome old fashioned pub with a great choice of ales.

The food was delicious and the service was fast and pleasant. Our waitress did everything to make us feel at home. Thank you for such a great evening!

Lovely old London pub tucked around the back of The Savoy Theatre. Great atmosphere

Had a few drinks on a Sunday evening. It’s a lovely pub, gets quite busy. Music was a bit loud, especially as it wasn’t overly busy. We had difficulty talking to each other at times.

Brillant service fantastic food

The place is great to share some beers with your friends, good food. Chiara was just great 😊

Perfect spot for after-work drinks and a casual meal! The service is outstanding; the staff go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommended for a relaxed yet high-quality experience!

We were lucky enough to visit at a time of day when they had a live performer. Good beer, nice atmosphere and friendly staff - what else do you need to end the working day! Keep up the good work, guys! p.s Shoutout to Said for the whiskey suggestion, it was spot on!

Excellent experience. We had appetizers and drinks. Everything was delicious! Our server was attentive, friendly and so kind - we had to go to the theater, so she made sure our service was timely. Enjoyed the ambiance.

Overall, everything was great! From the atmosphere of the pub inside (since the outside is unfortunately surrounded by scaffolding, so it was impossible to see it in all its glory), to the friendly service and delicious food

The food was fantastic. The chicken Snitzel was very tasty, and the beer was amazing. The server was amazing, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Highly recommend.

Located on the Stand near theaters and shopping. Real authentic pub feel with above average pub food and friendly staff. Busy with locals.

Great atmosphere excellent service reasonable prices
