The Hercules in Lambeth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Unico pro: ampia selezione di birre di altissima qualità. Cibo al di sotto della media con prezzi esagerati, le bistecche sembravano essere scaldate, non ho mai visto in vita mia chiedere la cottura delle bistecche e portarle scaldate... Servizio freddo e gravemente insufficiente.

Locale bello e dall'atmosfera tipicamente londinese. Personale accogliente e disponibile. Cibo davvero buono e lo abbiamo provato sia per colazione che per pranzo e per cena. In tutti i tre casi abbiamo mangiato bene ed anche nostra figlia, che è vegetariana, ha trovato la pietanza giusta per lei.

Piacevole pub che offre cucina tipicamente inglese. Fish and chips e zuppa del giorni deliziosi , per non parlare della varietà di tipi di città disponibili. Mi sono fatta consigliare da uno dei ragazzi dello staff con gran soddisfazione. Offre anche servizio tv per vedere le partite ! Molto comodo vicino alla fermata della metro di Lambeth

The salad was discusting, pasta without flavour, the fish tasted like plastic and burger had disgusting cheese. The schnizel was good though. Beer was’t served right but lemonade was good. The restaurant is loud and smels of fish. Some people may like though we did not. Service was mid and the waitres even spilled my lemonade into my fish. My recomendadion? Go to the Italian restaurant across rhe street.

We arrived in London on a Tuesday afternoon and decided to go to Hercules. We found the service and food was outstanding, We even considered going back another time during our trip. I would recommend.

Buon pub, non destinato ai turisti. Ottimo per una cena o un pranzo informali. Soli piatti della cucina britannica. Frequentato prevalentemente da giovani ha un'atmosfera rilassata. Bagno pulitissimo.

There were some good things about the beer and food but service wasn’t great and one of the beers a bit flat. What annoyed me most was taking a 15% service charge without even asking.

Il cibo è stato molto buono; il servizio peró é stato lento ma si può giustificare perché era il giorno di Pasqua. Nel complesso lo consiglio per una cena veloce.

First, we ordered kids spaghetti, and we waited for quite a long time before the waiter told us they were out of that. Then a new waiting round, then they apologized for the delay. When we eventually got the food, (3 out of four), two of them were cold. The burger bread was dry a burger cold. Fries were good. The nachos was cold. And we never received the beef and pie. And the waiters never asked or noticed that. When we asked for the check, they hadn’t withdrawn that dish. We told them, and they did off course take it away and apologized. Nevertheless, not a goof experience and they could/should have taken away more from that bill.

Most terrible experience in UK ever, we were upstairs with a few colleagues. First we have been ask to pay upfront... They were afraid we won't pay the bill after having the Dinner. Although we propose them to keep one of our credit card, they did insist, and we did insist we won't pay upfront since we will probably drink more and need a single invoice. They came then with the food, starters and main courses at the same time. That's when things start to go wild... Not going into details, we end up leaving the pub with our glasses half empty and all the food on the table. Going in a place and not being happy is one thing, getting insulted is a completely different one. To avoid, or time for the Manager to seriously think about his staff

We came here for dinner on our first night in London: service was quick and friendly. When the food arrived we thought the portion sizes looked a bit small but actually it was perfect, and filled us up. We had cheeseburgers, chips, pork taco mini plate and mini pizzas. The cheeseburger was one of the best I’d ever tasted and the balance of patty, gherkin, cheese and sauce was spot on, and the chips were perfect: crunchy crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Heartily recommend.

Good atmosphere for drinks Food v tasty well presented but portions in both starters and mains waaaaaay too small. Not value for money AT ALL ! Staff super nice ,friendly and very effecient at taking drinks n food orders. Its just a pity the food portions are too small and prices too big😔

The food here is very underwhelming. I ordered a schnitzel and what I got can only be described as a miniature schnitzel. The side (some weird coleslaw thing) didn’t taste very nice. Overall, not that great. They deserve an award for the world’s smallest schnitzel.

We ordered cheeseburgers and not only the order came late but the burgers were simply not awesome. For 17 pounds you expect quite more.

We loved to come here, the Pub was near our room and served food longer than in usual pubs near city! Good beer and good food!

Stopped by for a burger and pint after a long day of traveling. Very cute pub and nice atmosphere. I know that I didn't order any "specialities" but my burger and chips (fries) were just average, nothing special. Service was friendly, attentive and prompt. Cider was good.

The food was great. First night in London and tried the fish and chips. Wow. The fish tasted great. Not greasy. Crisp light batter. The way you would want it. Same goes for the chips. Tried the smashed peas and to my surprise I ate them all. Good selection of beers to try too. The place is not large. It was crowded. Be comfortable sharing your table. Met a couple from Australia and a lady from Italy. All were great company.

In London for a business event and met up with friends here for some food and a drink as it was opposite our hotel. As I was late to arrive, the others had already eaten, so I was given the menu and my drink order taken as soon as I sat down. Great food served quickly with a cold pint of Guinness. Staff were young, friendly and the service on point. Only thing stopping this place getting full marks was that the prices are a little on the high side, but it is a decent pub and in the heart of London. Recommended.

Avoid. Service terrible. Was met at the bar with a 'Yo' and no other words. Not a single please or thank you or can I help you. Not the first time I've had bad service here. No interaction. Rude server. Have sadly had similar experiences here in the past. They clearly rely on getting away with bad service and bad attitude by being close to hotels so tourists know no better. As for the food ... No wonder people think Britain has bad food.

Great bar. First day in London and first experience trying official fish and chips. Great service and good meal!

Garbage Food & Expensive Pints Ordered Nachos with beef brisket add-on. Waiter delivered nachos with bean Chili. Discussed wit the waiter, he spoke to the “manager”. Who claimed it was brisket flavoured Chili. Garbage food and expensive pints $7.2 GBP

We stopped for lunch on a Bank Holiday. We had a cheeseburger which came with fries and the Soy Nd sesame crispy pork which came with noodle salad. The food was well cooked and very tasty. It was nice to see the head chef's name on the menu.

We went for a late lunch. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside. The tables were very sticky, food only OK. Would not go back.

Super attentive and friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Our waitress was wonderful and happy to talk to us and made us feel very welcome

- Tiny portion of chips for £5.50 - Nachos are straight from packet - Coke is very watered down - Subpar service

Arrived at our table on 20/05, the waiter said he would come and clean it for us as it was dirty. He didn't, so I had to ask for it to be cleaned. After 10 minutes, no-one had asked us what drinks we wanted, so...

Although this pub has a fantastic range of beers the food was poor. Starters and mains arrived together after a 40 minute wait. Chef thought they would cut my steak up for me. Honestly, I can do that myself. Triple cooked chips is just not...

The beef Sunday roast was excellent, the meat was well cooked and tender, vegetables tasty and the Yorkshire pudding massive. Left me with a full stomach! A bit expensive but worth it. And staff was also very friendly !

I know businesses are struggling so I don’t want to put a downer on ANY business at this time - but sometimes you just feel that something’s not right and if it’s gone unsaid - it will remain as is. Arrived and stood at the...

Good pub good. Service is very slow and not attentive. Food came out all at once- appetizers and main. Not good. Choices are authentic. Other places to chose from.

This pub was a welcome sanctuary on a horrid rainy evening. We enjoyed two good vegan meals and some drinks. The staff were helpful and friendly and it had a chilled atmosphere.

Wow. What an experience! Went here to celebrate a colleague leaving our business. Ordered 10 drinks, 9 were taken to the table. The barman (Azual was his name I think) told me that he’d poured 10. He hadn’t. Point blank refused any discussion. Kept saying...

Very hit and miss, we were here 2 nights in a row food was very good the first night and service good it was poor the second night and under staffed

Randomly visited The Hercules as was opposite my hotel. Fantastic selection of beers, friendly staff and great décor will definitely come back again.

I'm in the Hercules regularly, most recently last evening (a Friday). It was buzzing with customers enjoying an early evening drink in a warm atmosphere. We had wine & teriyaki wings which were excellent. Plenty of staff on hand look after everyone. My absolutely favourite...

We had the Christmas Dinner for leaders of our youth organisation at The Hercules and were a little nervous as the meal clashed with the England vs France match. However, the staff had set us up in the back room and the TV located there...

Ate here 3 times on our trip, they are across from our hotel….great friendly staff and awesome food. We had the Fish and chips, fried chicken sandwiches, crispy calamari, fried chicken skins and wings several ways….all delicious. Great selection of beer on tap., very friendly...

The excitement of being on the Lambeth Walk led us to this establishment for a hearty breakfast. A bit pricey, but it is the capital. For was decent enough , and nice banter about Gangs of London lightened the mood.

Wonderful dog friendly pub , staff extremely attentive , with its new menu and new decor. I cannot recommend this pub enough so to all my fellow travellers pop in and say hello oh and grab a pint or two

Service questionable. Asked specifically for the roast and waiter didn't seem to understand offered lamb or salmon...not a roast at all. Gluten free seemed quite a challenge. Service slow and at times no existent. Over priced. Small portions. Sad really as lots of beers on...

Absolute con men on the bar. Walked in and ordered a Guiness and a gin and tonic. Bill came £22!!!! Queried it and was told that’s what any double gin and tonic costs??? Never ordered a double and as Guiness is £6 a pint this...

Great selection of beers but a disappointing chicken burger with a tiny piece of chicken hiding in the middle of a bun. Spotted a 12.5% service charge on the bill that wasn't mentioned on the menu and which wasn't pointed out to me when paying,...

Stopped by for lunch. In you’re in the area check this place out. Excellent staff, incredible food and stunning ale.

Called in this pub and had a great time both with the range of beers avail and the Breakfast and a simply great barman who was friendly and polite cheers Jason. If you are in Lambeth, visit this great establishment to get a great feel...

i only had chips as a snack but service to table excellent and good value for drinks and food . Use the fullers app at table and pay remotely

We had a classic pub dinner, fish&chips, at this establishment and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal, the company and the staff. Large variety of beer and wine as well

My family and I were on vacation in London, England and this gem was right across from our hotel. From appetizers to mains, the food had great flavour, appropriate size in portion, and presented well. The manager was so helpful and explained the beer menu...

After a long day at Legoland and getting back into London late, we parents wanted a drink and we all wanted some food. Partly due to proximity to hotel we thought we would give this place a try. Did have to book in advance which...

What can I say..... brilliant Pub with an awesome team! Great location, food & service.... Fantastic selection of Craft beers, however being an ale drinker myself and bias in that area must add that they pull a great pint of London Pride!!!!

We had an excellent evening. very friendly staff, choice of beer and wine. Everything is excellent, the atmosphere, the drinks and the dishes. A big thank you to Gregory!!! ( French )

overall, a very good pub: good beer, good food, good staff. Having been there twice in a fortnight, we ow plan to become regulars. Lucky us that it’ only a ten minute walk away.

Great pub with great pub food. You never can go wrong with Fuller's pub. Good portion fish and chips an a tasty chicken burger.

Waited over an hour for our food..had to query..was given an in-audible excuse....offered a drink, then waited 15 minutes more for a sinewed ridden chicken burger...over cooked on a disintegrated lower bun and chips that were overcooked.....sent it away....SWERVE!

Great food, nice atmosphere a friendly people at Hercules. In at nutshell we had a great dinner there

Had a great evening at the Hercules. Stepped in quite late, but were able to order food shortly before kitchen closing. Fish & Chips were amazing! Got excellent recommendations from Samuel what to choose from tap. Thank you so much, will come back again.

Poor service , poor food and too expensive. Waited ages to get served then had to go to bar to eventually get our missing drinks. Then had to ask for our food after 45 minutes had passed only for our order to appear 1 minute...

Hercules was right across from my hotel and I had lunch with a customer. The atmosphere was good and we enjoyed our sandwiches.

Just reading other posts I’m wondering how this pub remains open! I had the same experience, ordering food that never came out. Only 3 plates were served and we had the same waitress shrugging shoulders! The worst part, when we complained about the service, the...

If I could give this a negative number, I would. Colleagues and I went in tonight and ordered fish & chips but were told they were out. Fair enough until a table of four came in and ordered after us. They received their entrees before...

Bought a roast chicken dinner, and nut roast. The chicken when cut into it was full of blood. Very suprised, as we waited over 30 minutes and the place was not busy. On the plus side, we were refunded and given complimentary drinks. Dared not...

The loud music makes conversation during a meal very difficult. The food is basic pub food at restayrant prices. They cat even cook that though as the chicken burger was incinerated and the salad was just lettuce. I wondered if 1 star was too harsh...

Very friendly welcome, comfortable surroundings, a great range of beers and lagers and the food was very nice. What more can i say.

We decided to visit for Sunday lunch after passing this place on the bus many times. Was easy to get a table last minute which was great but when we turned up they didn’t really have much of a system. They seemed to not have...

We went there on Sunday around 11:40 for breakfast and we've been told they open at 12pm and they don't serve breakfast on Sundays. Fair enough! We went back 30 minutes later for Sunday roast and the same person told us we should've booked because...

Nice beer, weird staff, possibly the worst food offering I’ve ever experienced…. Terrible! The manager didn’t charge us which was understandable.

We had our team Christmas do at the Hercules on the 2nd of December and it was really fantastic. The food was lovely, as was the service - nothing was too much trouble for the staff who coped with our large group so well. They...

My partner and I called in on the off chance of getting a table this afternoon. We were seated upstairs in a spacious but cosy area. The service was speedy and impeccable. As for the food … I literally cleaned my plate. I went for...

Outstanding service staff were very friendly helpful and jolly. Definitely recommend food also atmosphere was relaxing. Amazing selection of drinks but need to do more cocktails especially with Christmas approaching x

Good beer selection, lovely bar staff Food is inedible, the burger was rock hard, the bun even harder DO NOT EAT HERE - you have been warned

I'm a local and have been a patron for quite some time. Lately, service has changed and not for the better. I ordered a pint at an outside table from a nice bar girl who had it at my table in less than 3 minutes....

A quick pit stop … nice lunch with good wine. A very busy area which was annoying, but the staff member was super friendly and nice.

Having read the reviews for The Hercules I was extremely shocked to find a great pub with excellent staff and a very clean bar and toilets. We visited twice because we were staying at a hotel nearby.

The menu is simple and not many portions although does cater for vegetarians well. The food was lovely and the chips were excellent. All served hot and prompt, although this was a quiet Monday night. If your into beer this would be a place for...

Visited Hercules restaurant on 15th August 2021, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. there were 4 adults and 1 child in our party and as the roast dinners were no longer available we all settled for our second choices, my beefburger was...

Ordered the fish and chips and was given the vegan version instead. The staff initially tried to make out that it was my fault when I raised the issue, saying that I must have ordered it, only to later admit that the only reason I...

Decided to explore a bit further out from where I work and came across this place. I did not eat here but the food menu looked up to the usual high standards of a fullers pub. Will definitely get some food next time I come...

Went to the pub with a groups of friends yesterday. Food was OK but when it came to paying, a member of staff came over and told us how much it would be. Member of my group gave the money and a tip. Then we...

Went to The Hercules with my husband and 2 kids after visiting The Imperial War Museum. Fabulous tasty roast of chicken and beef plus such friendly staff attentive staff! I really hope this pub survives lockdown no. 2 as I want to come back in...

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was super. The beers were well kept. The fish and chips were ace. Really good atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Looking for a place to eat after spending the day at the IWM (and also needing to get out of the pouring rain) we saw this place and were not disappointed! The waitress was so attentive as soon as we walked in and all aspects...

Poor food and service. Went here to take advantage of eotho and would have been pretty annoyed if it weren’t for the discount. The food just looked as if no effort had gone into it and the service was pretty subpar too

What a lovely little find of a pub. Brilliant service, really well set up in this weird COVID new normal and a clean, bright environment. Defo recommend!

We ate here on Friday night and it was very, very busy and loud. I don't mind a busy pub but it's worth mentioning for those who like a more cosy pub! Our waiter was polite but it took a while to get his attention...

We enjoyed a nice pub lunch here. Unfortunately the menu appeared to be limited as several of our top choices for both food and drink weren't available. Our second-and third- options were still good however.

We chose this pub for breakfast due to being the closest to our hotel. We were the only table at 10am but service was quick, efficient and friendly waitress. We both had a Full English priced at £11 each - we were offered a choice...

Very old pub that is right across from the Park Plaza Waterloo hotel, with typical English food, fair prices and within walking distance to railroad station.

Went there twice in the same month only for convenient reason as I live locally. Staff is not overly friendly, they really make you feel that they would rather be elsewhere. Food is just ok, the average quality that you can find in such a...

This place has a nice friendly staff with good suggestions according to our tastes. The burger are absolutely delicious (the best in town during my stay of 1 week in London).

Went to the restaurant for food and drinks. A waitress escorted me to a table and told me she would come a slightly later to get my order. However, she never came back, though she was chatting with guys at the table close to mine....

Our waitress was so helpful, provided tastes of a few beers for me to try and the food was absolutely superb. We weren’t sure what to expect for a “Pub”, but this place had a nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great food (The fish and...

Good beer and not the best but still good food. I ate burger with French fires. Guinness and IPA very good. On the middle of the week not too crowded and not too loudly. Just in front of Park Plaza Waterloo hotel.

Modernized Pub, as the guy says not authentic. Anyway as long as the beer is good & the pipes are cleaned. Not sure about the food; Frozen/microwave. The falafels got stuck in my throat! In most pubs in London, stick to peanuts & crisps.

Hercules suffers from being part of the overly corporate modern pub experience. Fuller's were a British brewer, but were bought out by the Asahi group a few years ago. As a result what you get is expensive pub grub and a selection of Asahi group's...

we ate here on a night that we had little time. The waitresses were very friendly, the place looks nice. The food was fine, we had burgers and nothing really to report. I found it a nice place for a quick bite or drink.

We were staying at the Marriott County Hall after Christmas and searching for the quintessential London pub near the hotel on our first night of arrival from the US. Our concierge recommended The Hercules and it was just what we were looking for and more....

We visited on 01/01/2020 and the restaurant was busy. We were happy to learn that there was seating on the upper level. I had most excellent fish and chips; husband had a nice vegan chili. We were both very pleased with the meal, the decor,...

We really enjoyed this place. Service was great and food was your typical pub grub. Very nice servers and very helpful.

Stayed here for business and had evening meal and drinks. The food was v good with excellent choice of beverages.

Unsure about this place. went after imperial war museum visit as it was raining and we needed a drink and snack. I bought a glass of wine and a beer which cost, as expected really, an arm and a leg! However, London price so fair...

Made a reservation for dinner on a Sat night for a large group. The table was ready 15 min ahead of our reservation time, which was great. Good beers on tap, but you do have to pay a service fee if you want the waiter...
