The Counting House in City of London, Westminster

My friends and I have lunched at many London venues over years. This was 'simply the best'. There were 13 of us, The food pre-order system was easy to use. On arrival we were welcomed, given private area and asked if we would like 10minutes to settle before our food would be delivered. The food was exactly as we ordered and well presented. Everyone enjoyed what they had chosen. Additions were allowed like extra deserts -delicious warm scones. We were given a press button to use ANYTIME we wanted our waiter...it worked too. Bill was complex to split but handled with patience and acumen. Everyone would return and some said they would stay over there next time. Delightful period environment with lovely lighting and wood paneling. Seating comfy. Thank you to the staff from start to finish all excellent

Had lovely night in the Angel room with my wife for her birthday. Cannot fault the service, or the quality of the room. Very competitive price and we will definitely stay again next time we visit London.

Probably the best pub within the square mile. Fast and friendly service even when the pub was full. Chose this venue for its great selection of beers and because it’s one of the few City venues with accessible toilets. I held a drinks party here for 25 guests, all say the loved it.

This pub looks amazing on the photos, and indeed it’s a very impressive building, However, on calling in on Monday evening around 9 ish we were left feeling a bit underwhelmed, Pints were ok, but the service left a lot to be desired, the lady behind the bar gave off a couldn’t care less attitude, and it really seemed to be a chore to pour us a couple of drinks, We drank up and went somewhere else, won’t be going back in a hurry.

Amazing breakfast, wonderful decor and wonderful stay at The Counting House. Lovely quiet rooms with comfy king size bed. Super clean room and bathroom. Will definitely come back to stay.

This is a large building - a banking hall that is beautiful. Although it looks attractive it is full of hard services and the accoustics are dreadful. The food is good and, of course, the Fullers beer is excellent - but the evening was ruined because you have to shout to be heard. We (a party of 4) could only speak (loudly) to the person next to us. Communication accross the table was impossible. We had asked for a quiet table!

Stayed here for a few nights. Pub was closed as being refurbished. Easy check-in. Staff friendly. Rooms are clean and well equipped. Free water, coffee, biscuits etc. WiFi good. Good location in the heart of The City.

Great pub with a great vibe. There was a live band as well. The only thing that I will say is that they don't have a large variety of drinks.

Always busy here during lunch or the evenings so it has a great vibe. The staff are helpful and friendly and the service is always good. Unlike other pubs, they staff it properly so you never have to wait too long to be served

I have been waiting for over a year to fetch my teenage son, so he could try the Yorkshire pudding and dipping gravy - and they did not disappoint! Delicious and just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately the triple cooked chips are rubbish, and I think they refer to them as triple cooked because of how many times they’ve been re-fried. Don’t order them if you respect a good chip!

The Hotel entrance was not accessible by our taxi because the street in front changes access on weekends. We only found this out when our driver literally dumped us out on the street a couple of blocks away. We have several pieces of luggage that we had to drag down a busy sidewalk after a very long and tiring trip. The signage to the Hotel was difficult to find and we had to ask for directions. The Hotel room and Pub were very nice, unfortunately, not connected, necessitating leaving the building to go from one to the other. The very small lift was inoperable due to construction going on when we arrived. Fortunately someone associated with the hotel offered to carry our luggage to our room on the 4th floor. We are both in our 70's! Breakfast was plentiful and enjoyed by all.

Stayed one night at the counting house. Had a great room called Florin.Had dinner in the bar & the pies were amazing. Breakfast included in the room rate & was excellent . Staff all friendly & efficient. I would highly recommend this Hotel.

We stayed for one night, the room was gorgeous and comfortable. Immaculately clean. Good breakfast included the next morning too.

I pop in quite often, glorious pub, average service but tonight one of the staff had his supper infront of customers, behind the bar, in full view of us - there was nothing subtle about his shoveling food into his face. His manner was horrible, as indelicate as the description is, he was shoveling and stuffing food into his face. Disgusting. What made it worse, the staff seemed to think it ok. Horrible, poor customer experience. Avoid the pub at staff feeding time.

I organised a birthday dinner and invited all my friends. They had a lovely space for us and it was easy to manage everything! The food was great and we all had a wonderful experience.

Went for drinks with family. Entertainment was amazing Francis really watching this young lady. 😍 Heard she is playing tonight (September 1st) from 6.30. If you can get down you won't be disappointed

The food was excellent and the service was very good, we all had the pies and would recommend them.. 👌

Service was good. Food was very mediocre. Garden salads were basically a bowl of peas and the 'extra' chicken thighs was three tiny strips of was seemed like processed chicken. Once live music started couldn't hear each other talk upstairs. Pretty disappointed unfortunately

I have lunched in TCH for many years gone by, and it has maintained its London eating house traditions admirably. The menu is compact but also varied. The location is superb, and the ambience comfortable and lively. This visit was with my grandson and his uncle, and all of us were very pleased with the experience. The staff were friendly and helpful and welcoming. We'll be back.

Great atmosphere in a lively corner of London. We were looking for a traditional pub meal, and the Counting House was the perfect host. An upstairs table allowed us a great view of the well-attended bar area. Ordered the “pie board” to try ALL the flavors of pies, along with several side dishes - perfect dinner for two!

Stayed in the hotel for a two-night stay to celebrate my 60th birthday and couldn’t be happier with the way it went. Very nice room - very comfortable and clean with a boutique hotel feel. Very nice breakfast in the bar area of the pub - with good choice of breakfast options. Very nice pub with good range of ales and other drinks on offer. However, what really made the stay so special was the staff who were all so friendly and helpful. This begun at hotel reception, where we got a lovely welcome from Maria. The same in the bar, when we went for a drink. Again at breakfast, really friendly staff who really looked after us. Didn’t once come across anyone who was less than friendly / welcoming. Thanks guys - helped make my 60th extra special!

Stayed in the Tilbury room which was well appointed, clean and spacious. With breakfast included and such a great location - just a couple of minutes from Bank tube this was great value, with polite, helpful staff, a super comfy bed and everything you would expect from a hotel!

A great pub and the food and service were very good. My only complaint was that I wanted to book one of the tables in a room off the bar, which you cannot do online. I tried to contact them by email and telephone without success and had to visit the pub a few days before the meal to book the table.

We had chosen this hotel for a family wedding at Easter as it was near where the ceremony was taking place.We had booked, several months in advance, 7 rooms for our family and bridesmaids and partners together with a private room for a full evening meal the night before. Three weeks before the booked stay we received an e mail to say that "the room we had booked had been refurbished and could not be laid out with chairs and tables but there was an alternative room where we could have a finger buffet".As this was not what we had booked, we contacted them, which resulted in them sending a fixed price menu with very limited choices which looked very unappealing to our guests.We made repeated attempts to contact the manager who was clearly avoiding any contact with us. Eventually we had no option but to make a visit to check the "alternative room" and to see if the usual bar menu could be served in that room and to talk to the Manager. Upon arrival we were met by the events manager who informed us that the chef had just decided to close the kitchen at 5pm on the evening of our meal as he wanted the evening off so there would be no food served of any kind! We then went to the hotel Reception to check whether they could book taxis for our party on the day of the wedding.The somewhat disinterested Receptionist said that they could but the company they used often did not turn up! At this point we decided that this disgraceful level of customer service could not possibly provide a good experience for our guests, so we felt we had no option but to cancel and seek an alternative venu.

Now this is a "proper boozer". Absolutely love the place, and I've been going here for years. It looks amazing. It's exactly how I would imagine an American Tourist, in London for the first time, would describe a British Pub to their friends back home when they returned from their 2 week grand tour of Europe #london #paris # florence #rome #edingburgh They serve decent pint and have a vast selection of pies (plus all the usual pub grub). Whether eating or drinking (or both), it's always a great place to be.

Good food but beware - they may try to scam you into a minimum spend if you go in for a Sunday lunch. The day after our wedding me and my wife booked a Sunday lunch with each of our families for Mother's Day. There...

Nice pub to grab some local food and drink some nice beers. The pies were fantastic. The space was very cozy and the team was very friendly.

Great decor in this old building and the mezzanine level has a great view of all the goings on. But food is expensive and £7.30 for a pint of lager is nuts. Also a limited drinks choice upstairs when dining and was told we would...

Stayed here for the se ind time in a month. Great accommodation with a lovely breakfast. Special thanks to the young lady on reception who has been incredibly professional and helpful on both occasions.

Paid £11 for scotch egg and chips with curry sauce. Came without curry sauce. Asked waitress who couldn’t be less bothered or helpful.

We come here every year for a reunion and book a table on the mezzanine - we seem to usually be given exactly the same table even! It’s always cosy, the pies are always amazing and the wine list is actually not too bad for...

We stayed here several times in July and October 2022 and ate a couple dinners. We also had drinks here several times later in the evening. It's a Fuller's pub so has their standard menu and ales. We had excellent food - great steak pies....

Good pub to grab drinks but their isn't good, not even for just being pub food. Not only that but they ran out of pies (the draw for a lot of people wanting to eat there). Just don't expect big things if you do decide...

I had invited business colleagues from America and Ireland and told them about this wonderful Pie House in the City (having been there a number of times before). We booked a table at 7.30, by the time we sat down we were told there were...

Popped in on a Friday evening hoping for a couple of drinks and some food. The menu is well written and promises so much, but unfortunately didn't deliver on everything. Roasted tomato and truffle aioli sandwich, veg cobbler and fish pie were ordered. Good bits...

lovely venue but so noisy - the noise seems to travel up to the dining area from the busy open bar. to be honest we found the list of starters on the main menu weird. very heavy food - chose soup from a daily menu...

Good range of drinks, really good customer service, and tasty food which arrived very quickly on a busy Saturday (Lord Mayor's Parade)

Nice pub food, the pies were excellent btw, with very good service. The space is very welcoming and Victorian! Perfect for a couple of beers after a long work journey

Started off great when the manager suggested we sit upstairs as it was so crazy busy downstairs. It's a lovely building and very popular in the heart of Bank. Very limited food options if you're veggie - I had to just order chips. But my...

A group of us had a lunchtime work reunion. Stunning interior, great food, excellent service and great value for money. Will definitely go back.

Ausstattung, Service, Atmosphäre, Frühstück, Abendbrot - alles perfekt. Bleibt unvergesslich! Lage für London Erkundungen perfekt! Sehr gerne wieder.

Ten of us booked to have lunch here after a guided walk round the city of London and were welcomed to a private room on the first floor. It is a most delightful building and still magnificent after its change of use from bank to...

Once again the staff at The Counting House have done us proud. Pens and notepaper and water provided. Press button drinks and food service. Meeting room of great character.

Fabulous iconic building housing a great pub , lovely atmosphere, great well kept beer at reasonable prices , attentive polite staff , would have no hesitation in recommending this pub

Just an overnight stay as we were attending a ceremony at the Guildhall the next morning. The Counting House was accessible (lift), reception staff welcoming and extremely helpful and the room comfortable and well equipped including good coffee and complimentary drinks in the fridge. Bed...

As you would expect being a Fullers pub the beer was good. The food however was rubbish it was tepid I.e. not even warm.Very poor

Once again our planning committee (11 members) met in The Dining Room to discuss our forthcoming AGM and Luncheon in The Griffin Room. The tables were arranged in a horseshoe to ease communication and water, notepads and pens were provided as was a buzzer to...

This wonderful pub is located in an old bank and it is pleasing to see that the transition from one to the other has been completed sympathetically. So much so that Fullers were given an award for the restoration. A central island bar offers a...

Went for a quick stop meal with the family aged 12 to 60+. The dining room we were in was lovely, spent some time imagining what deals were done in the room when it was a bank.... The menu is great and when the food...

My favourite pub in The City and had been looking for the excuse to stay in the hotel upstairs. Great room and extremely comfortable bed. Great nights sleep and first class cooked breakfast in the morning. Friendly staff as always. A real gem in the...

This is a superb, historic pub of great beauty built on the remains of an old (very old, pre 1970s!!!) Roman temple. A must see!

Popped in for a few drinks on Saturday 10th October 2020. The lady that met us on the door was very helpful and gave us a lovely place to sit. Our servers Martin & Giuliano were so helpful and kind they made our visit a...

I adored the architecture in this pub - beautiful chandelier and dome up in the ceiling. Had wanted to visit for a while and wasn’t disappointed!

Evening meal with drinks on a Saturday night. Beautiful pub, great range of beers to try - but avoid the food, it was a massive disappointment. £80 bill for 4 main courses and 1 starter only (no drinks). The pies were fine but very very...

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Counting House. The rooms were lovely, the breakfast was fantastic and the location was brilliant. The Counting House was full of character and history.

Having stayed at a previous Fullers Hotel (The Mad Hatter) on 2 previous occasions our expectations for this hotel were high. On arrival we found the Rooms very clean, bed comfortable, food good, hotel decor itself really good. Unfortunately less can be said about staff...

As we always try to look for something that little bit different we thought we'd stay at a pub. The Counting House looked just the ticket, well placed and beautiful in the pictures. On arrival we entered the pub rather than the hotel entrance, which is just to the left of the pub, but you can get to the hotel through the pub if you just ask someone.The lift is very small, and the hotel reception is on the second floor, but neither was an issue for us. As the hotel only has a few rooms, the reception is small but always maned. We got the keys for the room and headed up to the fourth floor.On entering, the room was wonderful, open fire, not real, loverly large bed and an immaculate bathroom. The linen was fantastic and seeing that we were in the city you could not hear a thing, and not the pub either. brilliant. One issue we had was with the artificial fire, there was a remote control on top which turned on the lights within the fire, but they kept going off after around 10 seconds. Don't think the fire generated any heat, just a lighting effect. We reported it to reception and they said that we shouldn't turn it on, which seemed odd as there was a remote freely available on top it.Breakfast was included and was brilliant, a good selection from continental to full English, nothing to complain about there.We loved it so much we are returning in February. Thank you Counting House for a wonderful stay.

This was the second former bank that we visited after the Crosse Keys and again we were really impressed with the interior. The pub has built the bar around the original safe deposits and a large safe and it really works. The chandeliers are beautiful and there were fresh flowers on the modern tiled wood tables.London Pride was in good condition, £5.10, probably what you'd expect.I believe you can stay here and looking at the reviews/ prices, I definitely would.

Friendly staff good location in the heart of the City of London. Prices not to high. Great decor, highly recommend.

For the last two years I have hosted a small networking xmas lunch here and I highly recommend it. Lots of private spaces so you can relax and hear yourself talk, excellent food and cracking value. The main bar occupies one of the nicest looking pubs in the City (which isn't always known for characterful boozers) and the range of beer has improved now Fullers' seems to allow a few more guest ales than they once did. Can get a bit frantic at Xmas or the end of the week with the end of work crowd, not the best choice for a quiet 5pm pint (but again, where in the City is?).

We come to this pub every so often for a drink and every time the staff is very attentive and friendly. This time we had food - mains and dessert. The food was nice. Good value for money. The pub specializes in gin& tonic, serves no cocktails. We will be back for sure.

Lovely hotel, the room I had was tucked away at the back, so lovely and quiet. Owned by a brewery- free beer in the room. Well appointed, clean, nice fry-up and friendly staff. Docked one point only because the price varies so much that at times it competes with bigger hotels with more facilities etc... but this is more a criticism with the entire London hotel market!

Went to the Counting House with some old work colleagues for a catch up and Christmas Lunch. Such a lovely setting, a real old school public house feel. Good choice of beers (Sampled a few). Our meal was good (Off the Christmas menu), service was very good, attentive without being over bearing. Cost wise, a little heavy for what it was but acceptable. Adjourned to the bar downstairs for a few pints, nice atmosphere, not overcrowded.

Llamado para verificar la disponibilidad de un gran horario de Navidad para el almuerzo. A pesar de que estaban completamente ocupados, la señora muy servicial al final del teléfono llamó incansablemente a todos los otros pubs de Fuller en las cercanías para encontrarnos una mesa.

Stayed in the Counting House for 4 nights and had a lovely time. The room was small with simple but lovely design. In the room was a sofa, air conditioning, a coffee machine, tea, mini fridge and a safe.

I booked this restaurant several weeks ago as part of a birthday night out for my husband

Located on Cornhill in the City. Amazing premises. Impressive interior . Lovely, large, dark wood island bar. Ornate plaster moudings. FAB glass domed roof ! This was a drinks only visit. Staff very efficient.

We visited the counting house just for a nice drink of Fullers fine bitters before going on to another restaurant.

In town and roaming around we stumbled upon this spot and decided to have lunch. We prefer to sit and eat at the bar, but as we know, not so much in London. None the less, we had a perfect experience. Ordered a round of drinks and lunch at the bar and took a seat in the main hall area around the bar and took in all the building had to offer. The food was really good, (meat pie and fish and chips), drinks were just as good, beer really, and service was just fine -- since you really order and give them your table number. Really good time. Apparently the hotel is suppose to be something else as well, but we obviously did not experience that with our lunch. lol

I visited the Counting House with some colleagues on a busy Friday afternoon in late October.

Visitamos un sábado por la noche con un grupo de 16. Nos ofrecieron un comedor privado y servicio de mesa, que era encantador. El servicio fue un poco lento y tuvimos algunas confusiones, pero no tenían personal para un grupo como el nuestro y, en general, todo salió muy bien. Ofrecen vuelos de cervezas y comida típica de pub británico. Y fue MAGNÍFICO.
