The Freemasons Arms in City of London, Westminster

I treated my friend to the Shepherd Neame 241 margarita deal. Our server was called Justina and she was so friendly and welcoming. She made excellent Margaritas. This was my friend's first experience of this cocktail and she loved it so much, she wanted to buy another. Justina encouraged her to sign up to Shepherd Neame, so we could get another 241. So great customer service plus great for the brewery. We also got chatting to the manager Alessia, who was also really friendly. She also told me about the charity that Shepherd Neame currently support, which is the air ambulance Kent/ Surrey. A great cause and a lovely pub with lots of space, so do visit.

been dining here for a few years and it used to be very good with a good menu choice but the last 18 months the price has gone up and the food quality and choice has gone down dramatically. It took me back to school dinner days. A group of us used to spend a lot of money in the bar before and after dining and because of the food quality and price we will now be going elsewhere

Disgusting rude service meal that was disgusting As a group of Freemasons who have dined there for years the service is unacceptable no drive of ownership Meal cold and been standing out for long time the dessert was cold No water on table no butter with bread out of over 20 of us several meals left and uneaten The on trade want business this is not the way to get it and keep it avoid at all costs

Overpriced and needs investment. Beautiful interior but nearly empty whilst other pubs are over flowing. Beer at over £6 a pint is high, toilets with no locks and broken seats all together shows a pub that wants one off visitors ie tourists and does not want to maintain an acceptable standard needed for returning clients.

Came to watch the rugby - their card machine was not working. It meant that when we paid for drinks it took the money out of our account but not the till. We asked for proof of this but the card machine was out of paper. The staff were then continuously not fair to us and kicked us out when we ordered another drink. It is now hours later and the money is still out of our accounts. Terrible staff - terrible drinks - terrible place.

A large group of friends and I frequented the Freemasons arms for 15 years. We had between 10 and 40 of us come once every month, with the only break being when the pub was closed during COVID. During these times it was often that we were really the only group in the pub. We would always order food and a significant number of drinks, and we estimate our monthly spend was in the thousands. We had a good relationship with the staff, and thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the pub. However, at the end of last year we were informed that our monthly bookings were no longer wanted as they now had a comedy club upstairs (in a different room, with a different bar), other people were booking tables and not showing up, and they were now so busy on Friday's that there would be no bookings allowed any more. Given that not once had we booked a table and not shown up, and we were a constant source of revenue for the pub even during the periods they were open between lockdowns, I find it completely shocking that the pub decided that they would no longer take our booking. The pub has never been fantastic. The food is mediocre, the drinks are expensive, but the staff were always friendly and the location & layout suited us. It seems that the friendly relationship we once had with the previous management has evaporated only to be replaced with contempt. I must say I have taken great pleasure in walking past the pub recently to see it empty, particularly on the evening we usually would've frequented it. I for one will not be returning to Freemasons arms, and I think the feeling amongst our group is much the same. So, if you want to provide a source of revenue to a business for years, hold good relationships with them, and then be cast aside for no discernible reason, I recommend the Freemasons arms. Otherwise, I would visit one of the other much nicer pubs nearby such as the Sun Tavern, Marquess of Anglesea, or Bow Street Tavern.

First time back at the pub since a change of management- venue as good as ever, food decent very disappointing to find one of the staff walks around the place taking plates as and when they wish - ie didn’t ask if could clear and tried to take away a side plate with food on whilst I was eating! Not ACCEPTABLE and staff member was told so by me

This pub looks pleasant at first sight but is really disabled hostile. We had a meal booked in the first floor dining room but there was a long, winding stair to reach it. There was no provision for private pre-dinner drinks in the dining room. The adjacent toilet can only be reached by a short flight of stairs. The menu offers VERY little for people who don't eat meat There are far better place for potential customers with reduced mobility.

Dreadful pub. I went to watch the football which they advertise to show. No one there, I was by myself and was declined when I asked to watch my given game due to the team I support. Discrimination at its finest. Won’t be back. Avoid!

A pleasant enough pub for a spot of lunch. Reasonably good food if a little expensive, as was the beer! A bit dark but I guess it’s an authentic Victorian experience. The loos aren’t the best, a bit dank.

I ate mid week around mid day. The pub was very quiet and I was one of only five people in it. It is a pub I have eaten in before and not been disappointed, hence the reason I went back. Internally it is reasonably clean and presented, but definitely showing its age. I will fully agree with the previous review that the toilets are in need of re-furbishing or at least a coat of paint. They are not good, far from clean, smelly, and have a number of broken fittings. There is a reasonable choice of bitters, lagers and spirits available. The food menu is basic and not extensive, with the usual pub fare available. The staff were friendly enough, the service was good and my food arrived promptly. The beer was reasonable, not the worst pint I have had but a long way from the best. Sadly my sandwich was nothing special and could have come from any supermarket packet as a meal deal. While it was tasty enough it lacked any form of presentation, only coming with a few bits of lettuce. Far from what I would have hoped for. Not bad value for money, a tenner for a pint and a sandwich in London if it was right. There are plenty of other pubs nearby and based on this visit I would suggest using them. It was a great pub, what's gone wrong?

This is a pleasant Victorian pub with an excellent choice of drinks served pleasantly and efficiently, we did not try the food but I am sure it would be nice. The problem, sorry to mention it, is that the basement toilets are terrible, badly fitted-out and, the worst thing, really obnoxiously smelly.

Well, if I had any fears that I had hearing problems they were dispelled when I went in here for a pint. The place was absolutely buzzing. The football was on and the atmosphere was excellent. I enjoyed my visit.

Very good and pricey but that’s London prices. Great place to meet or have food etc with beer etc Easy to find and pleasant staff

First time visiting and not a great first impression. I work within the industry so I know what expect. As me and a friend entered we was told that it is all table service even though we said it was just drinks, so was expecting bar service as it is expect due to restrictions being lifted. So we sat in the garden for over 25 minutes without being served as table that arrived after us were served before us.

Great afternoon with friends - food was delicious and service was brilliant especially Tomas & Marte :) will definitely be coming back!

Really friendly and helpful staff. Going all out to keep social distancing etc. Good food and drinks

Pub bem bacana, com boas opções para comer e beber. Detalhe fica por conta das referências ligadas ao início do Futebol.Bem bacana!

ランチで伺い、パブ飯の代表的な1つコテージパイを頂きました。食事の内容とロンドンの物価を考えると良心的な値段で、ローカルビールの種類も揃っていてスタッフも感じが良い。このパブでサッカーのルールが作成されたとか。。。歴史がある割には、パブらしい古さを感じさせず清潔感があり、リラックスできる雰囲気があります。

Nice pub with good selection of ales including the Bishops Finger and Spitfire. With sports channel too.

Вкусный fish & chips и вкусное пиво! Очень атмосферное место, отличные цены. Дружелюбный персонал. Рекомендую к посещению.

Only had a beer here Rudolph reward not to my taste but the pub was great very festive friendly staff bit expensive with what I'm used to but it is london

El interior de este pub es un recordatorio de cómo se veían la mayoría de los pubs de Londres y tienen varios bares y salas diferentes y toman su nombre del enorme Salón de la masonería a pocos metros de distancia. Uno de los aspectos más interesantes de su historia es que fue aquí donde se refinaron las reglas originales de la Asociación de Fútbol y se formó la Asociación de Fútbol. Solo uno de los equipos originales, el Civil Service Football Club, todavía juega en las ligas inglesas. La cerveza está bien cuidada y el ambiente es cálido y acogedor.

W use this Restaurant and bar, quarterly, following meetings in the Masonic Temple nearby.Always busy, particularly on Rugby or Football Championship Saturdays..they have two rooms above..the larger, seating easily 30, with separate bar on the first floor and the smaller room, seating about 15-20 on the top floor..no bar.Food is very good for the price, as is the service. Always fresh and hot..great place to stop after a show, or before, Covent Garden tube and Holborn tube station only a few minutes away. Well managed and a good selection of draught and lagers at the bar..staff here particularly are very efficient..you won't wait long, even if as usual it's busy..if you're very thirsty!

Muchos pubs en Londres afirman que se remontan a los días de antaño y este afirma en su sitio web que se construyó durante el reinado de la Reina Victoria 1807-1901. Sin embargo, un investigador más diligente notará que la primera licencia otorgada al edificio fue en 1704 y fue conocida como Bull's Head hasta 1778. Cuando comenzó el reinado de Victoria, ahora llamado Freemasons Arms, la Sociedad Geológica se fundó aquí también en 1807.Un extracto de The Times of the day implica que las reglas de un juego, ahora jugado por más de 200 países, Association Football, se crearon aquí en 1863. Aunque esto se pudo haber hecho durante 6 reuniones en un pub cercano de nombre similar llamado Freemasons Tavern.A pesar de los caprichos de la historia antigua o la antigüedad del pub, el lugar está impecablemente limpio por dentro. Los paneles de madera pulida, latón brillante y las banquetas de cuero bruñido le dan al interior la apariencia de una elegancia bien mantenida.Pero el propósito de mi visita no fue en la búsqueda de la historia, sino en el seguimiento de The Cask Marque Ale Trail.A diferencia de la cerveza y gran parte del fluido que proviene de los artilugios de barra de latón 'T', la cerveza de barril requiere las condiciones adecuadas y un poco de trabajo para ser servido en su mejor momento. No todos los establecimientos pueden proporcionar estas condiciones y nunca se puede molestar al licenciatario con el trabajo. Pero para aquellos que pueden, significa que cualquiera que sea la cerveza vendida en estas instalaciones (y hay más de 1, 500 posibles cervezas diferentes) el bebedor puede estar seguro de que estará en las mejores condiciones posibles. Los bebedores de cerveza de discernimiento viajarán muchas millas (su crítico es uno de ellos) para probar cerveza de calidad. Esto inevitablemente aumentará la costumbre, la reputación y los ingresos.Para obtener la acreditación y poder exhibir The Plaque, un licenciatario debe pasar dos inspecciones sin previo aviso de un asesor y luego una inspección adicional cada seis meses.Luego está el costo: algo más de 200 para estar en The Trail. Una de las ventajas es que el pub será 'buscado' por aquellos que están tratando de moverse por todos los establecimientos; hay miles que lo hacen con diversos grados de entusiasmo.The Freemasons Arms, originalmente propiedad de Charringtons, fue adquirida por Sam Smith en 1985, Greene King en 1988 y finalmente Shepherd Neame en 2003, por lo que la asociación con la cerveza de calidad es profunda y este crítico puede declarar sin dudarlo, la cerveza que se probó este día fue excelente ,

We came here for a quick drink with friends from abroad. Wanted to show them a classic English pub. There were 10 of us and the Manager found a table for us for to sit and have a drink. Good selection of beer and a nice atmosphere for a pre-Theatre drink.

Writing this review whilst still in the Freemasons Arms. My girlfriend and I called in for lunch and are very impressed. I had sausage and mash, she had steak and chips. We've both cleared our plates and offered our compliments to the chef. Everything was perfect. Prices are reasonable too, and portion sizes are just right. We definitely recommend this pub if you're looking a quiet relaxed dining experience.

We were looking for a good place to get my friend a "fish and chips" dinner. This was where we ended up and it didn't disappoint. The beers on tap were wonderful, especially Spitfire lager, and the food was fantastic for a pub. I had a bacon bbq burger that was simply wonderful and really hit the spot after a long day of sightseeing. The best part about our experience was the two exceptionally nice ladies we struck up a conversation with during the English Women's World Cup victory over Argentina. Kate and Hazel were very friendly, had great insights into politics, travel, and life, and genuinely made our experience in London exponentially more memorable. Will remember this pub for years because of our fun times that night.

This venue is in easy walking distance, halfway between Holborn Tube and Covent Garden. I have to admit to being a frequent visitor there. Often it is so popular that getting a seat can prove problematical. However, on our visit this month we were spoilt for choice. In fact, the staff invited us to sit in a 'reserved' area. Food and drink, as always, hit the spot and we will be back.

Visiting London to see a show, we wanted to have something to eat and drink. We prefer a traditional pub and stumbled upon the Freemason’s Arms.

This is one of our favourite breweries.. And this pub didn't disappoint. Great atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks.

Mientras que como Grupo de Francmasonería, usamos este lugar de 4 a 5 veces al año, cuando en Lodon para tomar una pinta o un refrigerio rápido, invariablemente uso este lugar.

Group of us visited this large cavernous pub and enjoyed a great selection of real ales supported by a good variety of malt whiskies - a combination not always available in London.

We called in prior to our theatre show. The place was pretty busy, great location for Covent Garden & Drury Lane. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our food order didn’t take long to be served and both our dishes were very good

Excellent food and a good selection of beers, it's a spacious pub that is located nearby the Grand Lodge building which is just down the road.

The pub’s name connects to the Freemasons history and hidden rituals. It is a nice and welcoming pub but don’t expect any revealing facts about Freemasons, it is a good place near Covent Garden to enjoy a pint and a tasteful meal. Excellent service!

Nice traditional London boozer, service polite and quick, (that was in the afternoon, might be a little busier later in the day) Called in with my fella, toilets clean and a good variety of drinks

Fantastic location in the heart of Covent Garden. The pub has a great range of beers including draught ales and offers a good range of food options through to 2145 each day - the Fish & Chips is good as are the sandwiches!

Lors d'un Week-end à Londres, notre groupe eu l'occasion de déjeuner dans cet endroit, ni restaurant, ni brasserie, mais surtout Pub avant tout. Il nous a été servi, très, très rapidement un pseudo Fish and chips, une des spécialités. En fait, un vulgaire morceau de poisson panné, pas digne du Capitaine Igloo et une dizaine de frite, accompagné d'un sachet de sauce béarnaise. Le dessert n'a pas permis de relever l'ensemble, un très, très petite "tartelette au pomme" recouverte de chantilly, à mon sens décongelée trop vite. Un café infame à mourir, le tout servi en 35mn. Passez votre chemin, la pâtisserie voisine "Valérie" quant a elle vous ravira.

Al mediodía en Londres, siempre se verá una carrera hacia las cadenas conocidas y los lugares sociales de moda. Londres está lleno de lugares por descubrir.

Went here Saturday 22nd September for a meal after an Installation ceremony at Freemason's Hall. The food served was delicious. For Starters we had Fishcakes accompanied by a side salad, the Main course was Braised Steak with peas and sauté potatoes followed by Apple pie with ice cream, and coffee to finish. Will definitely eat there again.

Good location, near Freemason hall. Beer was really good and not too much expensive. Food was surprising good.

Our party have all been here many times over the years & again were not disappointed. Not a great fan of Shepherd Neame ales however the Bishops Finger is very drinkable if on foot!

Been here with family, place is nice and most of the customers are locals. Nice choice of beers, draft and bottled. The food is ok for a quick lunch and is not “touristic”.

Following a tour at Grand Lodge we had lunch and a few drinks.

On a lovely hot day we walked in after wandering around Covent Garden.

Found this place by accident while visiting London. I’ve been here five times now and never been disappointed. The pint of Bisops finger is what I normally have and it has always been perfect. I like to try different things off the menu and the last time I had the fish and chips. They were ok but not the best I’ve had in a pub. Today I just had the home made steak and ale pie with the mash and veg. It was excellent, really tasty well cooked and nicely presented. Once again not disappointed.

Très propre, très fréquenté prix classiques pour l’endroit... fish et Ships classiques à 12 pounds.. service rapide... ils sont habitués aux grands groupes il suffit de téléphoner une heure avant

Aparecimos para un almuerzo tarde y nos sirven bastante rápido en el bar.

Visitamos los brazos Freemason para cenar antes de un espectáculo con la familia con todos los gustos muy diferentes. El personal era muy amable y servicial y el menú tenía algo para todos, incluyendo un delicioso curry de espinacas y garbanzos vegetariano. Las opciones no eran de las más impresionantes y este no es un lugar al que normalmente visita como un vegetariano, pero fue genial que tuvieran una opción!

Este es uno de mis favoritos en mis viajes raros sitios turísticos de la ciudad. La comida es excelente y la comida de pub los licenciatarios y su personal amable y servicial. Llegamos tarde para una reserva, pero rápidamente nos obligó con el servicio. Como servicio amable, siempre eficiente con instalaciones limpias. Pubs en otro lugar podría hacer peor que imitar este modelo de gestión pub.

Hadn't had Shepard's Neam in quite a while, this nice pub location offered the opportunity. A nice, quiet pub when we were there. Will be stopping in again.

Este pub sirve una pinta preciosa de oro con 28.00y Obispos dedo 28.00también en proyecto. Yo tenía un club sándwich y no podría haber sido más grande, era muy sabrosa con patatas y ensalada en el lateral. Mi esposa tenía uno de los "pequeños platos" pero nada pero, un enorme plato de nachos cubiertos en queso, salsa, jalapeños y mucho más. Excelente relación calidad-precio. Personal muy atento nuestro almuerzo muy agradable.

Called in for after theatre drinks. A Shepherd and Neame pub so it's not surprising that Spitfire and Bishop's Finger are found on draught and very nice they are too.

I walked in to the bar and the staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the Beef and Ale Pie with Sweet Potato Mash and Onion Rings. It was a lovely relaxed meal with a couple of pints of Bishops Finger. Hopefully I’ll return.

Worth a visit for the history alone, also the place were the Football Association was formed as well. Had a lovely meal as part of a large group, great service and great value.

Lunch with friends - a pleasant welcome and food served promptly. All very good and enjoyed.

We were a small company that had lunch there.

Pint of Bishops Finger beer and a Fish Finger sandwich with brown sauce. Very good and worth the money. Will go against L

We really like this place to watch some football and have a few pints, we didn’t have any food, but great selection of beer and spirits.

Very friendly staff and excellent food. We were a large party (30) and the food was served hot and efficiently.

my birthday treat today, food ok beer ok

Nice beers, friendly atmosphere.

Went for supper with a group of eighteen friends and they gave us a superb small room with its own...

8 de nosotros pasamos una noche aquí para celebrar un cumpleaños. Habíamos reservado la mesa cerca de la puerta, ideal para 6 o más, y no era más que suficiente para todos nosotros. La comida era muy buena y el servicio era excelente. Mi marido tenía un bistec particularmente bueno. El personal era muy amable y servicial, y todos nos lo pasamos una buena noche. Gracias a todos en los brazos masones - sin duda otra vez.

Estaba allí después de una reunión en el Hall, el lugar Masón estaba lleno de Masones que quieren comer. No habíamos reservado con antelación, así que tuvimos que esperar (no hay problema) con una bebida sin alcohol hasta que se calmó. El personal es agradable y acogedor hizo este fácil. La decepción fue con el tamaño de las raciones. La torta de carne estaba muy bien, pero las patatas fritas de acompañamiento, y el chico era una pequeña porción de verde no mantenerte mucho tiempo. Es demasiado caro para lo que te dan.

We had very welcome drinks and late lunch here on a Saturday after visiting several museums. Bar staff were efficient and polite and the food order turned up quickly - excellent beef and ale pie and chicken pie in comfortable surroundings. The Shepherd Neame Bishop's Finger ale went down very well with it.

Popped in for quick lunch on way to theatre. Staff were welcoming and food was good and promptly delivered. Good selection of drinks from which to choose. No complaints.

O pub é impecável.Ótimo atendimento , com uma boa lista de opções de cervejas para todos os gostos, desde lagers bem leves até as ales bem marcantes, como a Spitfire, e guiness (óbvio)Vale a visita

Lugar simpático, para tomar cerveja ou sidra de barril e jantar. A comida é gostosa e tem bons preços. Recomendo a steak and ale pie e pan fried chicken breast.

We stopped here for something to eat before a night out nearby. The pub was quite empty when we arrived and we're able to order our main course and get it quite quickly. My wife had the Woodford ale sausages and mash while I had the chilli with rice. They food was good and the sausages were among the best my wife had tasted. We ordered dessert and just after a number of people arrived in the pub. We then seemed to be forgotten and had to be reminded a number of times. It finally arrived and the apple pie and custard turned out to be apple and blackcurrant pie with custard. The cost was very reasonable especially when you consider it was Covent Garden. The only reason it is four stars is due to forgetting our dessert otherwise it would have been five. Well worth a visit.

Good place for a few drinks after the theatre. Love the place actually and the character of it.Comfortable and quite traditional. Full bar options and snack food and meals. As a member of the craft it felt oddly appropriate and almost a Masonic version of a Harry Potter bar.Handy for Freemasons hall, just along from Covent Garden and near the theatre for school of rock. What's not to like?

It was a group party supper in a private room upstairs. The atmosphere was superb and the meal that followed was much better than frankly I had expected and well-presented too. Everyone seemed to be having a good experience. I certainly did. You could just tell from the happy people packing the public areas that they also thought it was excellent value . I shall definitely go back.

Well is just two steps away the Freemason Hall, which i love it! And its roots are connected to my beloved craft, and also to the soccer (which i don't love at all). Therefore ambience is really evocative but nothing to do with the food which was ordinary, nearly poor. Beer is fine, but hey - we're in UK.God bless freemasonry. Ciaooo

This place is terrible. £30 for dinner and there was no creativity in the food. Mains was a plate of peas, chips that looked like they had come out of a packet and had been microwaved and dry salmon. No gravy/sauce provided with the meal so I had to ask for tomato ketchup so it wasn't so dry. The place was also filthy and my stomach is now feeling the pain a few hours on.Like the title says, I've had better school dinners. In fact the food looked like something a child would be fed after school.You get better quality food in McDonald's.

Four adults & a two year old ready to spend money on food and drink but were turned away at the door because we had a buggie. I wish I could turn money down like this.

Not a bad looking pub, clean, charming and inviting but the food was TERRIBLE. We had the club sandwich, and it was the most tasteless and depressing club sandwich we have ever had. We all had a few bites and gave up on the rest. It's not pricey, but the poor effort made with the food will make us not recommend stopping here for food. The staff was nice enough - food and drink orders to be made at the bar.

Visited here on a busy bank holiday weekend. Nice place to drink but not so good for food. Scampi was ok, slightly over cooked but the steak pie was extremely tough and dried out! Wouldn't recommend eating here.

Went to see School of Rock. This lovely city pub was full to bursting. Lots of friendly banter.I had fish and chips she baked tatie, we both thought excellent and sensible portions.Cost was £25 incl drinks very good value in a nice environment.

I havnt tried much of the food however what I had was nice enough. They have a good selection of Draught beers.

Called in here a few times for a drink prior to going into Covent Garden. I like the pub and the atmosphere. Have been in by myself and with wife - encountered no problems whatsoever. Staff friendly and good range of beers - I personally like the Whitstable Bay. Recommended and will be going again when next in London. Never tried the food but appears like good honest pub food.

Hadn't had Shepard's Neam in quite a while, this nice pub location offered the opportunity. A nice, quote pub when we were there. Will be stopping in again.

One to steer clear of. I had my laptop stolen there earlier this week. Landlady couldn't give two hoots.

Good beer, friendly staff and. Lively atmosphere. Definitely a good place to have a drink in Coveney Garden at a weekend

We've ordered a bottle of proseco at 10.55pm and once we've paid, the barmaid told us the bar is closing down in 5 minutes so we have to hurry up to finish our drinks (and we even didn't start them!)Worst service ever, you should think about hiring new polite staff!!!!!The blond girl with short hair is so impolite and really rude, I will never come back here!

Great pub in Covent Garden. It is a Shepherd's Neame pub, so the beer selection is top notch. I'd recommend trying the Spitfire. Their Fish & Chips are great as well!

We chose this location for lunch before going to a matinee performance at a near by theatre mainly for its location and the fact it was not over crowded. we were served with our drinks quickly and once we had chosen from the menu we were shown to our table and given a chose of tables to sit at. the food was served fairly quickly and was excellent in every way, will definitely go there again when in the area

Had a meal here with friends and I have to say the service was excellent. The staff helpful and attentive and the food was good. We stayed for ages enjoying the atmosphere which has a real buzz. Will definitely go back again.

The team that run this bar are extremely committed and professional. Great choice of wines, good food and a really central location. The owners have a keen eye for detail and oversee the team with great professionalism. Staff training and service excellent, a must stop when in Long Acre.

Called in here this week to take a glass of wine and a bite to eat. Very pleasant and helpful staff and a very good lunch. Whitebait!

stayed near here so popped in quite often but sometimes a lot of the tables were reserved, possibly for coach parties? we didn't eat anything but it is a nice bar and the staff were efficient and friendly.

Popped in for a pint and to catch a bit of football whilst waiting for a friend. Nice busy, but friendly bar. Mixture of tourists and locals. The sound on the TV's wasn't loud enough in my opinion but I guess not everyone was there for the football.

got there by chance after a ballet at the opera. Friendly staff, only had a few drinks. Decent place to grab a few drinks before or after a theatre/opera/cinema.

Découvert tout à fait par hasard, ce pub est très beau à l'intérieur, déco très soignée, belles boiseries (le bar à lui seul est une petite merveille), belles tables et banquettes, même les plafonds sont décorés. Bref un cadre chaleureux. Personnel très sympa, accueillant et serviable. On y a mangé un dimanche midi le fameux Sunday Roast cuisiné maison et savoureux! Grand choix de bières et même de cidres!

We came here to have a few after a nice dinner on a Friday night, and it was lovely. There was a nice pub atmosphere, good beer on tap, and decent bar service.

Looking a little exclusive from outside, I was wondering how nice and chilling the athmosphere is Inside. We enjoyed every minute.

Visited today after a tour of Freemason Hall. It seemed as good a place as any to have a beer and lunch. The staff were pleasant enough and at nearly £14 for 3 beers the price is probably average for London. Went to order food and asked for the menu. Was told wewould have to hurry up as they stopped serving food at 2:30 (it was 2:15 at the time). It was nearly £34 for pie and mash,pie and chips (both with veg) and fish and chips. It did not take long to arrive. Was a little dissapointed that the savoy cabbage and leeks (advertised veg) turned out to be a few peas, a couple of thin slices of carrot and 2 miniture beans. However the top crust pie looked fine. It was ok but the 2 of us that had it both agreed it was over salted. The fish and chips were fine.All in all not a disaster but it was a pub serving pub grub. There was nothing special that would warrent a rating of 4. There are plenty of other pubs and restaurants in the area and must admit if I am in the area again I will try another one.

Superb 'pub' lunch at a very reasonable price, very friendly and helpful staff. Historical Fact - where the first meeting of the FA (football association) was held.

Always call in here for a drink when visiting London once a year, it's reliable, the staff are friendly the service is quick and the drinks are good . Food served throughout the day at a reasonable price. Can't ask for anymore really. 8/10

We came here for a quick drink and it is a very nice pub. The interior is a classic London pub and the staff are friendly. I'd definitely come back for another drink!!
