The Crown in City of London, Westminster

This is how our dishes ended up!

Asked Jazz if they could accommodate my party of 12 people very last minute on the 18th, which he was able to do, so thank you very much, we had a blast. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Amazing Christmas dinner! The team checked all our orders, sorted us out with a lovely table with Christmas crackers and lovely decorated dining room. The food came just as requested and we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The staff were great and really helpful. I can recommend!

Review: “Truly English! If you’re visiting London, this cup is an absolute must. The atmosphere is authentic, and the staff are genuinely friendly. An amazing experience that I would definitely recommend to everyone!”

HIDDEN GEM, everything slaps! Return to this London Pub! Bar downstairs was packed but had an intimate dining experience. Food was well priced for London pubs but the flavours were fantastic. No service charge great vibes, not too loud, waiters were fantastic. I will be returning! Speciality pie + venison croquets + pulled beef loaded fries = £38

Went there for a couple of beers with a friend of mine... Super-nice atmosphere with live music and all the people singing together with the singer. Lovely evening spent there!

We dropped in here later in the evening. At that moment there was a lot of atmosphere and fun. There was a live singer playing nice sing-along songs. And everyone participated. We didn't eat here. Just had a few beers. It was very full. But the atmosphere was great.

Love to be sat in a pub, laughter and conversation and all, only for music to start being blasted at 3:45pm on a Friday.

Jazz was great 🫶 We played a gig here and we loved it - we’d love to come back and gig here again Love from Nat and Sam 🎉

Just played a gig here, great atmosphere and super friendly staff

Best fish n chips I’ve had in 20 years! Thank you! 🤘🏼🫶🏼

Dante and Casper made the night. I have an allergy and Dante was SUPER thorough, which put me at ease and let me enjoy the night. The dining room was charming and decorated for Christmas, and much quieter than the busy pub room downstairs , and the food was good- classic traditional bar food. Thank you!

Very good fish and delicious IPA

Great beer, staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but then it was rammed

Top night. Jazz and the team really looked after us!

The pub is ok, the bartender was rude

Dante, Ourania and jazz was amazing, exceptional service and so friendly, will be back

lovely pub and tasty food but service wasn’t the nicest. Beer prices different to what the menu says and felt rushed to leave as soon as we finished our meal because “they’re fully booked” while the entire room was empty and all other tables free. Found service forcing us to pay asap rude.

Such a lovely pub unfortunately ruined by the rude barmaid who was serving upstairs this evening 23/11/2024 who had an incredibly awful attitude when pointing out our drinks menu priced incorrectly. It stated £6.50 for a Guinness when we were charged £7.20 - which was fine and we paid! pointed out and she bluntly replied that it was an outdated menu - no apology or care in the way she spoke. We were a little confused by her response but politely advised she might want to swap out the outdated priced list. She shrugged, smirked and raised eyebrows “it’s not my fault that it says the old prices”. Unbelievably RUDE!! Like a stroppy teenager. Actually shocking behaviour . She Also went behind the bar to talk about us to another colleague (right infront of us…) . I raised the issue with the manager when we were leaving who was nice enough and offered us a discounted round of drinks, which we politely declined, not sure if it went any further than that. Wouldn’t rush to return!

I thought that I would, after quite awhile, pay a visit to The Crown on Brewer street in Soho, W.1 Quite busy, and I am quite pleased that I did. The cask beer that I bought was out or the Thornbridge group. Very good quality! Have posted on FB, some comments, and look them up Suffice to say, that The London Morrisonian Club, of which I am a member met in here way back in the 60's. As some will know it is to M&B, a premium pub, Nicholson's and up there with their Castle pubs for the range(s) of cask beer.

On the ground floor you can relax with a good beer in a pub with a subdued atmosphere and of course a large choice of beer. But upstairs you can have lunch or dinner and I sincerely recommend it. To eat typically English, fish and chips, sausage, pie, the dishes are very well cooked, well proportioned and in addition in the dining room the young man who is on duty is very pleasant, good conversational, This is an establishment that I 100% recommend for a typical English break from the hubbub of London.

I made a reservation for 7 and later my daughter wanted to reach us and made another reservation for 4. Unfortunately she only could come alone and I had to cancel her reservation and change mine from 7 to 8. We arrive earlier and the staff members were very friendly and changed my reservation to 8 and eliminate the reservation of my daughter without problems. This was the first best part of our dinner. My niece and her family and my daughter arrived and we had a nice environment with the meals, good service, hospitality. We had 3 fish and chips large (2 of them to share with the children), I had the schnitzel and my son in law the meat pie, everything fantastic!. My niece asked for the only dish that was not fantasticis the roast beef sandwich, but she enjoyed the camembert. Beers and cider were very good. A bottle of wine and two whiskies were enjoyed by the people liking wine. We spent a good night at the Crown, certainly a place to come again.

The place was cool with grand live music at 21:00 hours. The staff were very polite.

Great service from Jazz and the team. We bought our dog along too who everyone made a big fuss of and made us feel very welcome!

It was a charming and welcoming environment. Nikos and Ourania are the best staff you can find; they are polite and gentle. I highly recommend it!

Proper pub in the middle of London, a rare find!.

Came in for a quick bite before the theatre, was instantly greated with a smile, service was impeccable, would greatly recommend food, sausages especially were to die for. For that London pub vibe, yes!!!

Very nice atmosphere, dinner room upstairs. Children's menu. Very good food for us.

Posto carino per cenare. Presente anche menù per bambini. Prezzo in linea con Londra. Prenotato tavolo tramite sito, mangiato bene.

Very nice experience at this pub. Sam was so nice and went out of her way to help us with advice about places to visit.

Pretty standard boozer. I was talking with a friend, and some dude plugs in his acoustic guitar next to us and starts belting out “Summer of ‘69” and the whole bar explodes. Quite literally. It exploded and I’m writing this review from heaven. I’ll be back to haunt the shit out of this bar and have another Guinness. Cheers

Lovely cosy pub but mouse running around. We regularly pop into the crown for a few drinks and last time we were gone to order food when we saw a mouse running around the back room. Wouldn’t eat there now tbh

I happened to stop by while walking. The fish and chips are delicious :) I asked the staff for a beer recommendation and drank it. The atmosphere is nice and delicious! Since I came on a Sunday, I wanted to have a Sunday roast, but it wasn't on the menu. Eat well and rest well! There is also a wireless charger, which may be useful for travelers.

Fish and chips: of course we had to try that in London. The Crown consists of a bar downstairs and restaurant upstairs. Very cozy and really English. The food was great!

The service from Pawel was awesome. Thx! The dishes more than expected - so excelent. The place is really nice and you get a real "pub-feeling". Thank you! Next time definitly again.

Typical English pub, nice and friendly! The guy at the bar provides a HORRIBLE service!!!!!! What a pity!

Excellent food and beer. Connor was a great bartender and very accommodating

Reasonably priced for the drinks we had. Staff were friendly and service swift. The decor and atmosphere was great and place very clean and well presented. Would recommend for a place to meet friends

Fish and chips and Guinness are both delicious!!

Dropped in for a pint to meet a friend, it was empty on a Thursday afternoon though it was busier by the time we left an hour later. The barman was friendly and professional, good choice of beers.

Lunch time in this pub is just a treat.relax.quiet.nice break from Soho and busy streets.really decent lunch.so many beers I couldn't decide what to take and really friendly people . I could sit there for hours and enjoy life passing by.

Walked in for a quick drink, which then turned into having food. Wild boar and chorizo pie was fantastic. Lovely atmosphere and got talking to Jazz who runs the pub, turns out he’s originally from near me.

Absolutely beautiful lunch. Jazz was the perfect landlord. He recognised our accents and we soon got chatting about Derbyshire and his links to the area. A lovely pub in a fab location, with staff that are very welcoming and delicious food and drink on the menu. Will definitely return!

Good beers, classic pub, very good!

Good beers, very tasty and crunchy fish and chips. Very friendly and good service.

Thomas was a great host and bartender. We love him!

I had great lunch here.wonderful staff and really friendly chef. Very relaxing atmosphere. Its a good spot in Soho to enjoy passing time.

Nice and chilled vibe for a Sunday afternoon, service was quick and staff were very friendly

Delicious fish & chips Very friendly staff

Great food and great service. Good atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Really lovely pub, fantastic food, good beer and very friendly staff. Thank you.

Decent pub in central with good tap options. Not too expensive given the location

One of the best fish&chips you can get. A big thank you to Jazz for the kindness and the service

Whether you're going for a pint in the bar downstairs, or a proper meal upstairs, this place is super cool. Really great gastro pub food - their savory pies are amazing - and a really nice cask ale. And the staff was super friendly, I chatted a bit with my server and even the chef while he was taking a break by the bar. Cool chill place.

Excellent food and service. Connor took my food allergies seriously. Definitely recommend.

Typical English pub like you find in London. Good food and great beer. All at the right price (in London).

Great food. Perfectly cooked fish and chips. Not all pubs in London serve good food, but this one does. Highly recommend.

Excellent, very nice staff, and a nice occasion to listen to a live band.

A Nicholson pub in soho. Unfortunately on the day we visited the bar staff could not have been less interested in thier job, waited a good 10 minutes at an empty bar to be served and it felt like an inconvenience being there. Ordered food (large nachos with beef and halloumi fries) and it was reasonably tasty but for the price the portions were pretty measly (to the extent I wouldn't order again) darkstar hophead and a westons cider for drinks were lovely

Very good dining experience. Friendly staff, I recommend the savory tarts which are one of their specialties. I also really liked the decor and the pub, very British. 🙌❤️ (LGBTQ+ friendly)

Great luck at the crown, was looking ing for something quick and easy and found just that. Cheeky liquid lunch to go with it but overall a great lunch break

Fresh, well served and delicious food. Friendly and attentive service.

First time visit, definitely won’t be last. Lovely old pub, friendly staff a bonus. Food was fantastic & reasonable. Couldn’t fault the food. Would definitely recommend the Chargrilled Chicken with Chorizo, delicious, as was the Fish & Chips. Thank you for an enjoyable meal 😊

Great local pub for afterwork drinks

Dante was an a brilliant host had such great customer service xxx

The team at the Crown one of the most friendly inviting team you could ever come across. Out of all the pubs in London and we tested a lot, I would recommend this than any other pub we’ve been to. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommend!

We had a meeting in the private room upstairs, Very nice, quiet room nice big screen for presentation. Brilliant lunch, very good food, Next time in town we will be back

Mozart, Wading Birds and Pies: A dining room that is intimate and fun. Amazing beers to choose from, a pie selection to suit every taste.

Great beer, great hospitality, great food, a definite recommendation !! July 2024: returned here for some food - some great new dishes to try (and I love the wading birds in the dining room!)

Top boozer, friendly staff, nice restaurant upstairs. Another visit , great spot in soho

Very cute and traditional pub right in the middle of Soho, busy sometimes, but have a very quiet and relaxing dining room, which is a fantastic break on busy trip.

Great food with a great selection of beers and good ambiance

Great atmosphere, good prices and amazing service from all the staff members and especially the owner. 10/10

Great pub really nice work they’re doing over there

We arrived by pure chance, we're still at the table and it's just incredible! Top decor, fish and chips really good!!! The young girl upstairs was really charming with us despite our very French accent!

I ordered a Chicken Salad..It was ok, it's not what I expected but anyway nice place.

The place is very good and the music. Very professional waiters

Great place, but a little limited.

Great bar snacks, beer and service. The kitchen was about to close and still the staff accommodated us.

We went there because we were looking for a couple of pint’s, is a nice place and good beers. Also it’s a historical place, first place where Bethoven played with her sister

Very cool pub, not scary expensive (for drinks)

This is such a lovely cosy place with friendly staff who are easy to have a chat with , love to come here for a couple of pints with my husband :)) they also do live music on Thursdays and Saturdays which is always a treat !!

Came here for a work lunch and Jaz and his team were amazing! Looking forward to coming here for the euros!!

Nice Customer service, the food was great

Awesome pub. Very friendly. Great service!!

Best fish and chips in London, hands down. And I'm not a fish eater!

My mum and I loved the whole place, the history of it, the proximity to the theatre, the staff were very attentive and easy to chat to and the food was lovely and freshly cooked.

Very good food, friendly service, nice atmosphere, typical English pub, I recommend it to everyone.

Fabulous pub, food superb. Really friendly atmosphere, lovely staff.

Very good quality fish and chips accompanied by homemade tartare and pea puree. A real Irish pub for the decoration. The young girl who served us upstairs was charming, just a shame about the somewhat cold welcome on the ground floor.

Lovely place, typical British pub. We felt great.

It was 10:45 pm on a Saturday it was pack and nice music playing , the place is very pretty out side and look like perfect to have a nice memory of london . Just wanted to get a beer and drink it out side of the building . But they denied me the entrance i explain i just wnat one beer . But the guy at the entrance say Go away.. Thats is unacceptable he should have not say that. I believe then dont want customers if you odnt look drunk or like having money.

Very good and Authenticator pub-meal Highly recommended😍

Excellent food, nicely presented and friendly staff. Good value for money

Jazz our bar man was great and food was awesome as always , much better than some Michelin star restaurants , great atmosphere as well !

Great time here! Service was great and I had the best Tomato Basil soup I've ever had!

really good food, we will repeat!!

Good beers, good front of house and good management.

a nice pub, great music being played.

Really friendly bar staff, and a good pint! Nice location would recommend, didn’t have any food but the menu looks amazing!
