The Only Running Footman in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Upstairs at the Footman is an upscale restaurant in a pub setting. The food was a level or two above your average bar grub. The atmosphere was also pub like but another level above. Our delicious dinner included red pepper and sweet potato soup, beetroot and endive salad, duck confit and pistachio terrine, cider-battered sole, malt glazed chicken, and cod supreme with lobster. Does that sound or look like your typical pub meal? It was delicious!

This is the third year we have have used the private room at The Footman for a business dinner. The event staff (Amira) are fantastic, extremely knowledgeable, answer all queries at speed and with a consistently clear answer. The staff on the evening are incredible and work hard to ensure the event runs seamlessly. I feel so assured knowing a high profile event with run so smoothly and all queries on the evening would be dealt with professionally and with ease. The food and wine list is perfect and carefully thought-out. They ensure all dietary requirements are catered for and patient and helpful with all dietary queries. As a company it is important our guests come away from an evening with praise and feeling good - The Footman certainly delivers on all these. Cannot ask for better, we will be back in June 2025 for our fourth year, thank you to everyone for such a wonderful evening.

Had a nice dinner here. Not a large menu but thought their fish & chips/other food was better than most. The gentleman who waited on us was friendly & helpful. Even though they had their regular 'after work' crowd stopping in for a beer, we were still given immediate attention. A nicer environment, also, than some other pubs; plus decent pricing for drinks & meals.

Staying in Mayfair for a week, we were walking around in the area to find a dinner spot. We found this gem on one of the quieter streets and we were very happy with our selection. The place had a lively atmosphere but wasn’t loud or crowded at all. Traditionally they serve dinner upstairs, but upon being offered a choice we opted for downstairs window seats. The menu had sufficient variety and multiple excellent choices for everyone. The food was delicious, perfectly prepared. But the part that made our dining experience really amazing was the genuine kindness of our waitress and the entire staff. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in throughout the entire evening. When I was uncertain about the beer selection, instead of just trying to describe what they had on tap, she immediately walked me to the bar and offered me tasting samples, wanting to ensure that I would be happy with my choice. Even staff from the kitchen checked on us asking if we were happy with our meal. Overall: great atmosphere, delicious food (good portion sizes, even for someone from the US), absolutely top notch service, good value for the money in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Very strongly recommended.

The pub appeared busy with a good vibe. If we'd been 20 years younger I'm sure we would have hung around downstairs for a while, instead my wife and I enjoyed a very relaxed meal upstairs. Food was good pub food - simple and tasty - we had the fish and chips and the steak both excellent!

Second visit here and it’s because of the impression it left. Amazing place with a great vibe. Watched the rugby here and was a really nice atmosphere. Bar staff make it all the better with their friendly manner.

Great for a quick or long business lunch. Good menu with a lot of choice! Fast efficient service from friendly staff. Well recommended.

We ordered a child’s burger meal and two adults burger meals, when served they were identical except the adult burgers had pancetta and a sauce, I joked we had mistakenly ordered three kids meals and asked the staff if in-fact we did have three kids meals as the potion of fries were also tiny, when told no I was genuinely surprised…. The kids meals is £7.00 and the adults £23.00!! We again raised our dissatisfaction when paying the bill but were told there was nothing they could do which is utterly ridiculous, the adult & child’s burger & bun are absolutely identical, how can the price of the adult meal be justified?

We went here for our work Christmas function and had a really nice Christmas dinner. We had one of the private dining rooms upstairs and were really well looked after by the team all night. Everything was amazing until we were unceremoniously kicked-out at 22:30. A shouty man came into the room and ordered us to leave IMMEDIATELY! Not what you want or expect when you have spent ~£1.5k. Real shame as everything else was very good.

A great spot for our corporate Christmas gathering this year! Fabulous food & drink and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend reserving one of the private rooms upstairs if you are with a large group.

Great place for a team Christmas Party. The staff looked after us really well and we all had a fantastic time.

Decided to rent the private room for a company Christmas Party. The room and decor was lovely, food was spectacular and we had a great time. highly recommend!

Pretty underwhelming. You get to pay £3 for a slice of bread to go with your soup, and the fish and chips was ok. The tiniest mouthful of mashed peas (?) in a little ketchup pot, pretty tasteless. Service was pretty slow, real challenge to get a bill and pay. Honestly, £100+ for fish and chips and a bit of chicken and potato and two pints might be ok if it was great, but it was all so underwhelming.

Service is friendly, drinks are good, atmosphere is inviting. The only thing we ate was the sticky toffee pudding. Absolutely amazing! Went back several times just for that!

Visited for Sunday lunch, fabulous lunch, great sized portion and great value for money, food arrived in a timely manner and the staff were very good, would highly recommend and we will return soon.

Went for Sunday lunch/dinner. Was very quiet but we booked for 5pm Food was very tasty and reasonably priced Would definately come again

The fish and chips were good, but not spectacular, although the curry sauce that came with was delicious! Not a lot of beer choices.

I have been A MAJOR fan of the Footman and as far back as the Only Running Footmsn. Been there over 100x minimum and always enjoyed the pub, food and staff. Visited in late May early June and have to say this is the worst bar staff they have ever had. Not friendly Not even remotely customer friendly. I'm speaking of the two shorter men who work at the bar. Horrible and should find a new line of work. Not surprisingly it was never extra busy several day, since the bar staff probably scared them away. Also, I've never seen Coach & Horses down the road Hill St MUCH busier!! That's a first. Very sad since we skipped it many days of our 3 week trip due to bad attitudes and disinterest in customers. Not usual for a fine pub. Unfortunately, after years unless they get better staff it will have to ho off my list. Sad to say. Management take note. Replace the male bartenders with bloaks who smile and are nice.

Fish + Chips + Pints Nice decor , traditional British Pub in Mayfair. Good service and nice vibe. Visited here on the King’s birthday

My wife & I dined here May 21. We were graciously received and seared immediately with our reservation. Our waiter was attentive but not distracting. We ordered wine and we asked to sit for a while before ordering. Nice wine list! My wife ordered the bone-in Dover sole and I had the sliced leg of lamb. Flavors were spot on! Kudos to the chef. Neither of us are dessert eaters but we saw some beautiful ones being delivered to others. We strolled back to the Hotel Chesterfield in Mayfair completely satisfied with our choice of The Footman. This is a must visit for locals and visitors alike!

Went for Sunday Lunch. Mixed experience. 4 of us in party, 3 were happy, one was not. Long delay to get food, 40mins, long for Sunday roast, lamb was cold, sliced thin, no stuffing, chips burned.

A sad example of How to ruin a wonderful traditional Mayfair hostelry. I have known this pub for 40 years as The Only Running Footman. It had its history in evidence in its decor. Red leather seats, carpet, prints on the walls of Footmen serving trays of drinks and old dark oak bar fittings and tables. Traditional cosy lighting. All stripped out. Renamed “The Footman” with not a trace of its history. Modern uncomfortable seating, stripped wood floors, old bar fitting replaced, no pictures or prints and two big stainless steel dumb waiter lifts at the end of the bar. It’s called modernisation. I’m in my 60’s now so you are clearly not interested in my age group. So much for what it looks like. Let’s move onto service. The website says it has a Sunday Roasts menu and food is served till 8:30 pm on Sunday. When I last came here for a Sunday evening roast dinner a year ago we were greeting with a waiter saying “ sorry no Sunday roasts” disappointed as we were looking forward to it. So this time on booking for 9 April, at 7pm we asked if there would be Sunday roasts. “Of course” came the reply but to make sure you aren’t disappointed I suggest you pre order. We did. Then we checked that the pre order had been received and got a confirmation email. We arrived at 6:30 for a pre dinner drink at the bar. There was one bar person rushed off her feet with the few other customers wanting drinks plus orders for drinks coming down from the dining rooms. Eventually she was joined by another guy to help out. He made us two great bloody Mary’s but forgot the vodka! We were is good humour and forgave him and vodka was served. Wait time was 20 minutes. He offered advice that if we were eating upstairs we should order with him now and he’d sent the wine up in the lift. Otherwise we would have another long wait. So up we go at 7 pm and shown to the second floor dining room. First impression. What have they done? Stripped off the wall plaster to expose really very unattractive brickwork. Maybe if they had done a test piece they would have stopped the strip? So there are the old sash windows and frames sitting proud of the expose brickwork. Metal conduits run up the walls to give it the “industrial look” Really! For a pub which has been in place since 1749!! It’s just wrong. Tables and chairs were poor quality wood and floors stripped of course. 80’s pop music was preventing normal conversation. No waiter knew how to turn it down. Eventually the nice bar lady came up to show them there was a volume knob behind a fitting on the wall and relieved us. We were thankful we had prebooked our roasts so at least the food we wanted would be served. But no. Waiter announced “ Sorry no roasts” we reminded him that we had confirmation of our pre booked roasts. What could he say except “ but of course”. Then can I get you a drink? We told him to check the dumb waiter and our wine arrived. Then we waited, and waited. At 7:25 we asked our waiter if the endive and blue cheese starters were in evidence? Lots of apologies and “ I’ll go and see”. Another 10 mins and they arrived. Some dry endive leaves and morsels of blue cheese. No dressing. No bread offered. We asked for bread and waited and waited. A different waiter arrived so we asked him if there was any bread. Another 5 minutes and we offered to pop downstairs to get the bread. It then arrived as we had finished our starters. It had been defrosted and was a couple of slices of brown bread and unappetising. Then we waited and waited. The cheery waiter from the bar arrived and apologised profusely for everything and offered more wine FOC. We said what we really wanted was our roast meals but graciously accepted one glass of wine. Then the roasts arrived at 8:30. The chicken was succulent but literally swimming in a sort of soup gravy. The lamb was equally swimming but was over cooked and impossible to even cut. The gravy was so salty it made the lamb and the veg swimming in it inedible. My partner was so hungry he ate the chicken having scooped it away from the gravy. The nice waiter asked if he could get me something else. Hungry, I asked for some cheese. This arrived but the Camembert? was rancid. I normally only write positive reviews but this whole experience was so truly dreadful I was compelled to write this. Apparently as it was Easter Sunday the manger took the day off. The staff admitted they were new and inexperienced. In fairness they were coping with an inexperienced chef and poor communication. I used to choose Greene King pubs and beer they were always good. Sadly not now.

Most amazing pub meal in London, wonderful staff and great atmosphere! We managed to grab a booking right before the kitchen was closing and were welcomed and accommodated with excellent service. The food was exceptional! They even allowed us to order dessert after kitchen was closed and we have honestly never had a better pub meal (we’ve had many!). Was a perfect start to our London stay and wasn’t matched anywhere else in Mayfair!

I arrived late on a Sunday to have Sunday roast, which was fantastic. I had the lamb, which had roastie potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and a Yorkshire pudding with an out of this world gravy. The only reason I don’t give this place five stars, is the continued “slamming” of the door behind the bar every few minutes. If they could muffle that sound, the establishment would be much more enjoyable.

Amazing Sunday Roast! Came with my cornfield on a trip to London and found this little gem in Mayfair. Two roast beef cooked medium rare and huge you Yorkie. Service was really good and my waiter was so friendly.

Totally unwelcoming. They play the « we don’t take cash game » and have no alternative solutions. By then you have wasted your time queuing, ordering etc.

I can’t say enough about this restaurant! Food was amazing …the entire experience is something you must experience while in London! We had the lamb chops! Meat was tender and juicy! Just delicious… service was outstanding. We will visit this place very soon

Love Love Love! Stopped in for a quick bite after a meeting and couldnt have been happier. Friendly staff even though it was very busy. Great selection of Ales and Beers, nice traditional menu yet still up to date. Fish and Chips was delicious!! Will definitely be back!

Have been there before and could look back on a happy experience - before the Pandemic. Had high expectations as to service and food but was disappointed that the portions were minute and the selection of dinner choices rather limited . It was all a...

The Footman has upgraded their food menu since we last dined there prior to the pandemic. Their location in London's Mayfair neighborhood is conveniently located near but insulated from high-end shopping nearby. We ate upstairs in an authentically decorated room. We both had the fish...

This is a really nice pub and obviously very popular as when I visited the place was packed and also had huge crowds standing outside drinking, luckliy the weather was mild. There was a very pleasant atmostphere and people were very good natured and chatted...

Last night we took friends to this gastro pub for a great pub dining experience. However it was far from great. The service was spasmodic, having to remind the waiter three times to bring bread, ice and salad dressing to our table. We were practically...

I had the tiger prawns (lovely), the steak (large and tender) and the chocolate mousse (unexciting choice but very good). It was really a very good meal indeed.

Superb pub, amazing selection of drinks and lovely staff. Every time I come here, I feel at home. Love the place, I recommend!

Best pub and really nice food..Chris the gentleman has been looking after us.Nice and relax atmosphere.Looking forward for a next visit.

Amazing place, with an exceptional service! Great food and drinks. All of this makes an good combination for a outstanding evening! Will definitely come back!

It is a gastropub and they should know how to at least cook a burger. With so many burger places in London I expected better. The short rib burger clearly was made of excellent beef, but the cooking was horrendous. It reminded me of London...

The service was outstanding. We'd definitely come back again! The private dining room was great and the venue is perfect for teams events.

First time visiting the footman as we were staying in the nearby Chesterfield Mayfair. We met family members who had been before and they assured us it was great place. Straight way the staff were very friendly and accommodating for us. Service was top class....

I know central London pubs can be expensive but this one takes the mickey. I checked my card this morning to see I was charged £12.10 for a large vodka and tonic followed by £13.70 for the second one!

This is definitely a posh feeling pub, it’s a nice place but perhaps a lack of atmosphere. £6 pints which is ok for Mayfair! Lovely staff :)

The food was very good, when it finally arrived. They were quite busy downstairs and half of our main got delivered to a different floor and they had to re-cook it. Like I said, when it arrived the food was very good quality and the...

We had Shepherd's pie for lunch, and it was so good, we returned for dinner. Scallops for an appetizer were superb. They came with pan fried capers, which was a to me novel preparation and I loved the crispiness and somewhat toned-down saltiness. Pork jowls...

Not your usual pub restaurant menu or food. The crowds in the bar downstairs and outside are no indication of the wonderful meal at the top of the stairs. We tried the fish and chips and halibut entree and had both a wonderful squash side...

We booked a private room for a family event and it was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic food, lovely staff and great communication in the run up to the event. We will definitely book at the Footman again!

Went just for a drink with a friend after lunch in Mayfair. Very cozy pub, with a very friendly staff and a fantastic atmosphere. Worth a visit.

We held a small corporate gathering here and it was a real success. Our contact Amira was so helpful with all of our requests. Its a great venue and perfectly located. Would definitely recommend for a relaxed and convivial event. Thank you to all at...

The venue looked fantastic, the team were brilliant, (so accommodating!) the food delicious and the drinks kept flowing! We genuinely had an amazing day which was down to the whole team including The Footman taking such good care of us and our guests (they’re still...

We stumbled upon this pub after finding another pub we knew wasn't doing food. We sat in the downstairs bar which is quite traditional and had sandwiches and a pint or two. My chicken katsu was first rate - delicious chicken breast in the lightest...

We wanted something local to our hotel on a Sunday night. The Footman hit the spot. Delicious food, friendly staff, nice setting. It was really quite in the dining room, being a Sunday but it had a nice ambience.

Our party of 8 had a meal at the Footman before going to the theatre. The food and service were very good. The atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely recommend to others.

Came with some clients after a long absence. The place was covid safe and very good around their protocols. Food was a decent menu with good home cooked hearty fare. Staff were all very polite and helpful.

Outstanding! Food (head chef! Red carpet!) , service (Eva and Aurore! Legends! We felt like VIP’s from the beginning to the end! GM was so friendly and took his time to make sure we feel comfy. Barman was so brilliant with drinks. Can’t recommend enough!...

Nice upstairs dining room and staff but roast beef, though tasty and plentiful, was chewy and expensive. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire were very good. I thought being charged for more gravy was mean.

Der etwas feinere Pub im etwas feineren Mayfair-Viertel Londons. Zum Mittagsbesuch trieb es neben uns auch ein par amerikanische Touristen hier hin. Die Speisekarte ist nicht unbedingt Pub-like, denn Gazpacho klingt im englischen fast wie ein Massaker an der Tankstelle - dafür schmeckt sie recht lecker. Dazu kommt ein ziemlich sauerstoffarmes IPA, was dann noch frischer mit einem Perroni abgelöscht werden will. Zum eigentlichen Samstagslunch kommt bei mir ein Sandwich zum Verzehr mit Ham und Senf und lecker mampf und sehr dicken Fritten. Meine clevere Begletiung nimmt so eine gewagte Combo aus Seared scallops, chorizo jam, charred sweet corn, smoked sweet corn puree und hat damit eine hervorragende Wahl getroffen - hatte schon etwas von kreativer Küche. Insgesamt lernen wir, dass der Pub a. alt ist und b. den Essenslieferanten aus der Umgebung als Treffpunkt nach der Arbeit diente - das noch mehr, nachdem eine der Footmen den Pub übernahm. Wir geniessen unsere Zeit und haben ein gepflegtes Mahl in gediegener Pub-Umgebung.

The footman is an old style upmarket London pub in Mayfair. It gets very busy after work at 6pm with standing room only in the bar area. The restaurant serves a great menu with limited choices that are executed extremely well! Lunchtime when I went was less busy than the evening but it is still worth getting there for noon to get a table. The bar and restaurant staff were very friendly and the food was very good! I really enjoyed my lunch experience at this quaint “local” pub.

The true test of any central London pub is how it performs for drinkers during the busy few after work hours on a Thursday or Friday and this one didn’t.Firstly the downstairs bar area is not the biggest space and despite the front section being for vertical drinking the back section is packed with tables to maximise the food trade and whereas it’s probably OK on a quiet early afternoon, with the after work crowd in situ it becomes an uncomfortable and noisy space to try and enjoy a pint.I can always live with this and turn a blind eye if the ale is good. This is a Greene King tied house with four ale hand pumps on the bar and to walk in a find the two Green King ales of IPA and Abbott not available should have been in hindsight a big clue to what was to follow. Alongside the house Footmans Best was a guest ale of Sambrooks Wandle. This started off OK but by the second round was clearly reaching the end of the barrel resulting in returned pints to be replaced by the Footmans Best, which being another boring GK brew was a bit of an oxymoron on the naming front. Infuriatingly we also experience some shocking short pulling and for the second round of seven pints, five had to be returned to be topped up to a full pint, something you should bloody well get when it’s costing you £5.10 a pint. Then by the time of the next round the Footman’s Best was clearly going off as well, although it continued to be poured by the staff. At this point we cut our losses and headed to the pubs in Shepherds Market. It’s lazy cellar work and lazy bar work like this that gives real ale a bad name.

My husband and I came for a drink with our puppy recently. What a lovely pub. Staff were friendly and the other guests all looked to be enjoying themselves. Looking forward to coming back for a lunch or dinner upstairs!

Very nice pub and food in the middle of Mayfair. Booking was really efficient and the service from Ashleigh was great. Nice variety of food on the menu and the risotto was delicious. Reasonably priced for high quality food and service.

Visité al lacayo en Mayfair nuevamente la semana pasada; He estado allí media docena de veces y nunca deja de impresionar.Está situado en una de mis partes favoritas de Londres; un edificio con una hermosa fachada y una larga historia, y tan pronto como entras obtienes esa sensación cálida y difusa que solo un pub verdaderamente tradicional de Londres puede brindar.La zona del bar está muy bien presentada y acogedora, con un gran ambiente y el personal no podría ser más acogedor. Estaba ocupado pero las personas estaban siendo atendidas con eficiencia y siempre con una sonrisa amistosa.Hay una gran selección de bebidas en el Footman y la comida siempre es deliciosa. La comida es una de las principales razones por las que volveré; con un menú bien considerado que siempre está muy bien preparado y delicioso.He comido en la zona del bar de vez en cuando y también he tenido una mesa en el restaurante de arriba con amigos y familiares y recomendaría ambos.Esta vez tuve la sopa de chirivía para mi entrante, que era excelente, seguida de una deliciosa panceta de cerdo, que estaba cocinada a la perfección. Luego me regalé mi postre favorito. . pudín de caramelo pegajoso. . . que se derritió en mi boca.También tuvimos una buena selección de vinos para elegir para la comida.En general, otra excelente experiencia en el Footman y no podría recomendarlo lo suficiente!Gracias Footman! Definitivamente volveremos!

Grandes amigos almuerzo de Navidad. Tomamos el comedor privado del segundo piso un sábado en Navidad. Menú de Navidad de 3 platos de gran valor y algunos magníficos vinos épicos hechos para una gran ocasión. El servicio fue eficiente y relajado, no excesivo ni agresivo. Tuvimos una excelente comunicación antes del evento de su encantador Gerente General, ¡definitivamente regresaremos!

Mi pareja tiene alergia al huevo y a las nueces.Ella verificó con el personal si el helado contenía huevo, dijeron que estaba bien. Estaban equivocados. Luego comió helado con huevo.El manejo de las alergias en este lugar fue terrible. Incluso verificamos por adelantado y obtuvimos garabatos ininteligibles en un menú y tuvimos que volver a preguntar. Lo que recibimos tenía elementos agrupados o faltantes. Solo un miembro del personal sabía cómo lidiar con las alergias, incluso si eso significaba restringir el menú a solo una pequeña selección de artículos. ¿A mi pareja ni siquiera se le permitió sopa? No puedo entender por qué es esto. . .No es un gran final para una celebración del 60 cumpleaños. Totalmente evitable e inaceptable. Espero que Green King implemente una capacitación adecuada y menús de alergia confiables para que los clientes los usen. Mire cómo GBK maneja las alergias a través de sus sistemas de labranza y verá cuán equivocado está. Lamentablemente, he encontrado que este enfoque pobre es consistente en muchos otros establecimientos de Green King (Boat Inn, Catherine de Barnes es nuestro local).Espero que nadie con una alergia más grave coma aquí hasta que se realicen cambios, ya que puede tener graves consecuencias.

Vine a este restaurante / pub por casualidad hace un año. . . y decidí volver

Never disappoints - great food, lovely attentive service from Ashleigh. Perfect balance between service and being left alone to discuss business. Ambience is awesome too

Étonnant que ce pub avec sa salle tout ce qu’il y a de plus normal en bas, table en bois, bar avec nombreuses bières pression, ambiance pub traditionnelle. Et à l’étage une salle de restaurant avec nappe sur les tables et service attentionné. Agréable de pouvoir boire une pinte pression directement en provenance d’en bas au tarif pub avec une cuisine maîtrisée. Mon burger a la truffe était très bon, les frites aussi. Le fish and chips de madame était vraiment de qualité, avec la sauce parfaite. Le tout pour des prix contenus.

Best fish and chips in London! The dinning room upstairs is a hidden gem and has nothing to do with the pub downstairs, also worth visiting!

My best friend and I were out touring in the rain and looking to stop for lunch and a drink. This bar was the coziest, friendliest place. And the fish & chips were hands down the best I have had anywhere. Crispy and flavorful, and the chips were also delicious. Had the house brew. This place is why I love London.

Great atmosphere and food. Friendly staff. Would recommend as a great place for an authentic English pub vibe

Impossible de déjeuner au Punchbowl où nous avions nos habitudes ; aucun regret, nos pas nous ont mené sous une pluie battante jusque le Footman où nous avons été très bien accueillis. La salle du haut nous a été proposée et nous a permis de passer un bon moment au calme et au chaud en dégustant burgers et fish and chips. Un véritable « Gastropub ». L’Ale maison était parfaite. Je recommanderai à mes clients!

The overall experience was very good. Treated well and the food was very good. The décor and service excellent. Highly recommend going there for lunch as we did. Expect large crowds after work though.

really liked the pub and choice of beers was perfect. had fish and chips for dinner and couldn't complain about the portion size or price, just right.

Love the story of its historical origins. What sets them apart is the outstanding service staff . Whether at the bar for a recommendation for a pint, or fast delivery of the somewhat unique menu.

I have to be honest what a wonderful restaurant the staff are very attentive.The menu is wonderful we were in a party of 7 and so we had a choice of many dishes. Wow the food is out of this world please try it you wont be disappointed.

We like the Footman for the simple fact that it offer a good value for well prepared simple food in Mayfair. So much of the food in the area can be overpriced and either too formal or too precious to enjoy every day of the week. After two days of dining on rich foods this was a welcome change. We especially liked the fact that traditional Sunday roasts are served during the afternoon hours and we really were looking for a late dinner option in the area. Our concierge recommended this place and we couldn't have been happier. We both enjoyed roast beef with Yorkshire pudding both of which were well prepared.

We visited on a weekday afternoon during lunch time. The downstairs was packed and when we asked for food, we were shown to the dining room upstairs. The food was expensive, but very good though the portions a tad small. The atmosphere was rather crowded and noisy so it wasn't that enjoyable.

Great traditional London pub with plenty of history which looks well cared for. Just dropped in for drinks. Busy with a good atmosphere. Not too expensive considering it is Mayfair.

A very nice old Pub which serves fairly decent food, some of it fresh, unlike most pubs.

No me impresionó que me sirvieran la última pinta, obviamente, del barril. Pero cuando mencioné que estaba nublado y tenía un sabor plano, me informaron que era una 'cerveza artesanal' y que pretendía ser así. Mi esposo solía trabajar en una cervecería, hemos estado en festivales de cerveza por todo el país. Sabemos una mala pinta cuando nos han dado una. E incluso si no lo hiciéramos, un buen servicio al cliente debería haber significado que me reemplazaran la pinta. No volveremos

Disfruté de 2 excelentes cenas de negocios mientras visitaba Mayfair para un programa para clientes y no puedo decir lo suficiente sobre el servicio y la comida, ¡y por supuesto, las bebidas! Disfrutamos de la elaboración de Footman y fue excepcional (en ambas ocasiones ... ¡pero no recuerdo el nombre!). El comedor de arriba es más pequeño pero está muy bien hecho, y la comida era bastante buena. Usamos OpenTable y tuvieron que encontrar nuestra reserva, ¡pero de inmediato nos acomodaron! ¡Gracias de nuevo!

Hay muchas cosas por aquí para decir que si estás parado afuera de las barreras, o sentado en una mesa junto a una de las grandes ventanas que se abren, hay mucho que ver y pasar el tiempo observando. El bar tiene algunas opciones de bebidas más exclusivas y es bueno que la cristalería se adapte a su pedido. El personal es amable y rápido en el servicio, incluso cuando está ocupado. Es bastante caro, pero eso es más esperado en la zona y la comida se veía bien. Volvería por una bebida sociable.

Went here with clients yesterday and thought it was terrific. Just off the beaten path but close to the action and the prices by London standards were very reasonable. Will be back here when in London again at end of the month.

Recommended at Georgi at the Grosvenor House. We ate in the upstairs dining room and overall it was a very pleasant expereince. We had the lamb and chicken. Service was good.

We were Six adults and a baby and all had a good meal with good service. We ordered the cod, lamb rump and steak ale & mushroom open pie. We enjoyed eating upstairs.

The title is the good news. Made reservations and fought our way through 100 well dressed men drinking pints to go upstairs for a meal. It was brit food- don't bother.

We had heard so many good things about The Footman and found the entire experience disappointing. It felt like we were practically begging to have basics like water, bread, salt and utensils brought to the table. The room was extremely hot and yet all the windows were closed. The food was fine but could not compensate for the sub standard service. Recommended for a drink but nothing more.

We have been going to the Footman occasionally for a few years and have found the standard of the food to be reducing over time. Yesterday we had a Beetroot and Pumpkin Tart (this was in actual fact a Wrap, just warm, obviously microwaved) and Baked Cod The cod was served with Broccoli and a Mussel Chowder. This again appeared to have been microwaved. Fish cooked but skin un-appetisingly floppy and grey, not crispy if it had been baked, as described on the menu. The broccoli was under cooked and nearly raw and the chowder was just a mess. We'll go to the Wolsey next time. Not much difference in price but food properly cooked and better service.

Arriving in London, we had lunch at The footman. Incredible meal, I had the quail and it was divine. Our host Mady was lovely, her service and attentiveness is golden.

We tried some dish from the Sunday menu in this little, cosy pub in the heart of Mayfair. The pub is clean, service is good, the choice of beers satisfactory; unfortunately, while the prices are Mayfair standard (=high), the food is not. The Sunday sirloin roast was chewy and tasteless, and the fish & chips was terribly greasy, just a thin fillet of haddock covered by a thick and heavy batter. We won't come back.

We had a great meal at the footman on Charles St.

My wife and I stopped here after a day of sightseeing in London. My wife had the lemon sole and I had a beef blade with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Both were well prepared and presented.

Perfect pub if you are wanting an early evening or post-work ‘bevvie’ with colleagues or London friends. Very historic pub that has a great backstory based on all the Footmen that we’re employed by all the rich British Mayfair families of 1700s London. Alas I t’s all dark glass & blinged up black SUVs and folk of dubious financial histories in the houses nearby now.

The restaurant above the pub at the Footman is an elegant, but not stuffy, cozy room, with white cloth table linens. I stepped back before entering, wondering if I had walked into a private room - not so. Service was friendly and the food excellent. I had the chicken terrine, beef blade in wine reduction, and panettone bread pudding with marmelade and creme anglaise. The dessert alone is worth a return visit.

El personal es muy servicial y amable. Deliciosa comida, ambiente divertido. El pollo estaba delicioso y la cuchilla de la carne.

Tuve la mejor cena con mi familia arriba justo antes de Navidad. Comida sabrosa, fresca y raciones enormes.

Went there with Friends - wanted a gastro pub experience and this place came up as recommended. We went early, but the roast was dry, as was the Yorkshire pudding, very disappointing. Service was fine, just the food.
