The Salisbury in City of London, Westminster

Great pub. Indeed. Everything you would expect. Lively atmosphere. Friendly stuff and guests. Great beer and good food. Had a great pre-Xmas Saturday afternoon here!

Lovely people, friendly atmosphere

Great place, warm, welcoming staff. The cuisine is excellent. A delicious and plentiful traditional Fish & Chips. Absolutely worth a try if you're in Covent Garden.

We went with all the desire to receive good service and it was quite the opposite. We were waiting for more than an hour for the food, then they had a mistake with our order and at no time did they give us any type of explanation (if they were going to take a while to serve us...). We feel very displaced by the service. The food good.

Very busy but full of atmosphere. Would recommend the pies

The fish looks like they forgot it on the fryer for half an hour the Chicken was so dry my girlfriend decided to put it in a plastic bag for the dog, terrible eating experience,, just have a drink

It was just what my friends and I wanted for our early Christmas get together. Very festive and a superb experience

Very busy on a Thursday night in dec-24. Great location in the Covernt Garden theater area. Still, both service and food could and should be much better in the dedicated dinning room. Waitress forgot half our order, waiting was too long for comfort and food quality and presentation was lacking severe qulity

Although they warned, the service was a little slow.

Typical English pub, characteristic interior style, quick and friendly service, classic, good and tasty food! 😋😋

Service was excellent, very cheerful and attentive staff

Greene King pub in heart of theatre land. Nice layout of several rooms with dining room at back. Glass and wood old-style feel. Very pleasant and efficient service. Not cheap, of course.

Beautiful pub at very central location. Always busy with about equal mix of londoners and tourists. Good quality pub food, with seasonal twists for variation. Dog friendly, and team genuinely show care for the little fur babies! Always a pleasure to return to!

Good food, very nice place but too slow service, 30 minutes to order, 20 minutes for the dish to arrive, a total of one hour and 30 minutes to eat a dish. Too

Tasty food, warm atmosphere. Awesome

Book your table for a meal. This is a gorgeous pub with extra friendly staff. We booked ahead and had a wonderful meal without stress. We told the bartender that we were tired and wanted a pick me up. He made a kalua drink for us, which perked us ip perfectly. I love this place. I member when it used to have gas lights. It's still has all the charm and atmosphere you wish for

Dry food rude staff not coming here again

A typical and warm atmosphere in the evening

The pub was extremely busy but we found a table on the patio outside under the warmers! It was so lovely. We had some beers and some fish and chips. We took our parents here as it was their first time in London and they wanted to try fish and chips there. We've eaten at Salisbury Pub before and knew it was the place to take them for good food if we were only having one meal in the city. We were not wrong.

Amazing pub. First time visiting last weekend. Welcoming staff and a lovely atmosphere. Live music was a great touch. Will be back x

I booked a table for six people to eat and drink from 6:15 pm on that Saturday. I brought my two nieces and their boyfriends and then me and my partner and my dog table was reserved. It looked a bit small initially but we all squeezed in fine. Food was very nice. Service was lovely. Atmosphere was buzzing and when we asked to turn the music down a little bit because we couldn’t hear each other speak they turned it down so that was nice. Some life music on the other side of where we were sitting for, I think it was some anniversary celebration of the pub which was lovely too so I have no complaints .

Fantastic pub with such a lovely vibe at the weekend full of great people it’s a real melting pot. If you want to feel what a London pub is like this is the place to be. Shout out to the staff who kept smiling even when the bar was rammed. The door staff were also super friendly. This is the 2nd time iv visited and this Saturday the live music was a great added extra. Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Lovely pub, but the beef Sunday roast was disappointing, it was bordering on cold when it arrived, bland. I had to add lots of salt to make it taste palatable. Gravy did not have any taste at all & was watered down. The female toilets were disgusting, couldn't even use them ☹️

The pub manager accused my friend of doing cocaine (which he wasn't doing) and kicked us out of the pub 🤣 Very weird experience

Delicious steak and ale pie + mulled wine. And a special thanks to Richard for the amazing service!!

Sunday lunch in November delicious roast beef roadt pork, and fish and chips. Didn't book but got a table for 4.

Very kindly helped to find a place at the table

Nice atmosphere and service the 3 starts because the food! Small portions and dry food!

Pub with characteristic decor, frequented by locals. The staff is rather indifferent. Neither kind nor rude. We drank a beer and remained to observe the place and the customers...

Great roast and great service! Richard was great (he has a new skill as a photographer now). Thanks!!

Richard gave great service and food came out quickly.

Dinner in this pub after catering and before 9 p.m. Order at the counter, you get used to it. Delicious meat pie, but the steak was a little overcooked. Very pleasant pub atmosphere. .

Really good!! Richard is so kind :)

Per Richard do 5 stelle Ho ordinato burgher e patate fritte. Tutto molto buono, camerieri gentili. Riccardino mi è piaciuto più di tutti😉

Great service and lovely food Deni was a great waitress and looked.after our group all night. Drinks were lovely as well

Sono stata al locale con due miei amici. Tutto molto buono e il servizio ottimo. Siamo stati serviti da Richard che è stato molto gentile e professionale. La prossima volta che tornerò a Londra, passerò sicuramente di qui.

Disappointing visit. The food took a long time to come out, and my wife had to leave to an appointment. The bartender went and found some good to go containers - THANK YOU, but no plasticware to go. The chicken sandwich lacked chicken, but the bread was good. Side orders of fries and mac and cheese were ok. Beer was cold. Seats were uncomfortable. Would not return.

Good food and good prices. Nice atmosphere.

A spectacular PUB, excellent service, great food!

We are Spanish and we have immersed ourselves in the London atmosphere in this beautiful place. We would also like to highlight Richard's attention, he has made this experience a very pleasant moment. We will repeat!

We enjoyed it very much, and there was great service from the staff and with the food. We would come back a thousand times. The waiter Richard was very attentive; he deserves a raise for the attention he gives people because he’s truly valuable.

Great traditional pub full of character. The etched glass windows are a treat

An excellent surprise! We arrived without a reservation and were lucky to have a table, but it's best to book as it is very crowded. Excellent food, nice place and cold beer

Un très beau pub autant à l’extérieur qu’à l’intérieur. Propose restauration et un grand choix de bière ou autres alcools. Très bon moment. Le personnel est très agréable

What a spectacular place for a delicious (generously portioned) lunch in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere! I reserved a table for a group of 19 people for lunch and everything was perfect! The messaging beforehand and making the reservation was easy and straightforward. The food was scrumptious, everyone loved the looks and the feel of the place and the service was very much on point! Thank you for having us!

Great pub in covent garden. Richard great person

We ate and drank 10!!! Richard a phenomenon!!!!

We wanted to go to a pub with some history and this was where Elizabeth Taylor’s & Richard Burton got married.. She was the biggest & most famous actress in the works when this happened so I guess it is worth my time to find out why.. amazing & beautiful architecture.. the steak pie was awesome but the Sunday roast was a disappointment.. meat was tough & very few.. the Wellington was really bad.. but the pie save the day.. pints was all delicious!

Really nice decor, but pricier than it should be even for it's location. Foods tasty tho.

Great pub bustling with people, had a lovely Guinness. Fast friendly service highly recommended

Excellent scotch egg and chips. Good beer to !

Great drinks Dont go there for the food Crab swimming in butter and not tasty at all

Lovely day and felt we were really important when served by the team of staff 😀

We went on a Sunday evening to be able to eat something and it was 8.30pm... my colleague had booked specifically for the purpose of eating, but they didn't give us food because it was too late. Not recommended for dinner

Great food all around, got the fish and chips, bread, onion rings, and mac n cheese. Delectable.

Very nice pub with a wide choice of beers and very good food

A classic pub in the theatre district if you’re visiting London

Took forever to get our food, informed the waiter who said they need time as everything is made fresh. This despite several tables getting their food before ours and they were seated after us. Food was below average and costly.

Prefect London pub. Great burgers.

Amazing cosy pub, service was great. Harley made our experience immaculate. Definitely recommend

Used to love this place however it was very loud and shouty on the afternoon we visited. The new staff don't seem to have a clue about how to deal with sweary customers. Quite a bit dearer than all the nearby pubs too. £12.15 for a pint of Peroni and small coke is too high even by west end standards

Perfect English pub for me. Great service and a very good pint of Guinness. The place looks great and has an old school vibe and the decor is funky and brilliant. Had a nice relaxing pint here enjoying the afternoon.

Busy spot. Good food, atmosphere and beer.

Traditional London pub, always very busy. We made advance reservations via Google (for the dining area). I recommend trying the fish and chips with a glass of Guinness

Typical English pub. Great variety of beers (I was struck by the fact that they had Estrella Galicia). Good atmosphere. It's a shame they close the kitchen so soon.

Had a great time there today! Billy is one of the best barkeepers I have ever seen. Made me take the paddle so I could try 3 different beers for the price of one. Be back soon, many thanks Billy

I went looking for a table for one of our meetings! Valeria helped us with the food selection and was always ready to help! Definitely one of the best pub in central London

chicken was two different colours. clearly half of it was raw, when staff were approached about this, i was then able to hear them mocking me from behind the bar. we were then told that ‘the food is supposed to be this way’. what? the food is supposed to be raw? then offered a drink on the house instead of a refund. only pro was that after asking for a refund we were given one. would never visit again because i value my health

AVOID IF EATING! Sat for nearly an hour outside waiting on a chicken sharer starter. We drank 2 drinks each and in the end my husband cancelled our order. Extremely poor customer service!!!

We came for the Sunday roast and the beer. It was delicious!

Just visited the salisbury for the first time. This place is great I’ll definitely recommend. Deni was really friendly. 5 stars just for her!!

The bar has a very nice ambiance , very cozy and chill. They have a lot of different beers. The food was delicious. We had fish and chips and the steak and ale pie. Both were very tasty, fresh and full of flavor.

Love this pub been going there for over 40 years

Very good to have a beer in the center of London in the best English style, I recommend a stop

It was a very good meal, Richard was very kind, with infinite patience, always attentive. The service has been very good. A highly recommended place

Richard has been wonderful. Very good service.

I ended up here spontaneously because I was just hungry and I really liked the atmosphere. The lady at the bar where you could order was very friendly and when I ordered my food she even asked me again if I had any allergies to be on the safe side. I found that very accommodating. The food was a 10/10. Very large portion for a reasonable price. And above all, very tasty! Food and drink came very quickly. I've saved the place and will definitely come back when I'm in London again.

There's Greene King's Abbot Ale and IPA and Timothy Taylor's Landlord's cask ale

We loved eating there when we arrived in England. Richard the waiter took great care of us and we even met other French travelers who gave us recommendations for visits. The bar is really well located and the food is excellent and very plentiful.

Great time, Deni was super friendly and helpful

The onion rings and beer were delicious, and the fish and chips were pretty good too.

Good food, good vibe! Agnieszka was a very friendly and nice host!

We enter and ask to eat. They tell us to sit down and then order at the counter. I take 5 minutes to look at the menu, I approach the counter and they tell us that the kitchen is closed. Rude, they made fun of us

The Victorian décor is stunning and offers a traditional hub feel. On the other hand, beer costs just under £7, which is not a friendly price as it is in central London.

Everything a great pub should be!!

Great good and very British pub atmosphere! The vegetarian Mac'n Cheese was very tasty

A pub with a very nice, atmospheric atmosphere and good beer. We recommend!

This place has the BEST PEOPLE IN LONDON! My husband and I ate lunch, great Fish and Chips with peas. I left my bag with my cash, ID, cards and didn't realize for 5 hours. We went back to see if it was found, and LO and Behold, it was there! So grateful for the honest staff and concerned bartender who located it and returned it to me..Thank you for keeping me in the holiday spirit!

Siamo stati a pranzo ed abbiamo mangiato con un ottimo fish and chips. Il locale storico merita la visita. Il locale è molto bello, anche le scale per il bagno molto pittoresche 😃 birra buona Richard molto cordiale e per simpatia ti saluta in italiano

This pub was lovely. We booked this evening for a Sunday Roast, but they were all sold out, so we had the beef & ale pie & mash with gravy instead - it was absolutely delicious! Fresh & very tasty, a good portion of pie with lots of succulent, tender meat. The bartender was lovely, too, he was welcoming and friendly. The pub has many beautiful features, the mirrors, the etching and chandeliers create a lovely ambience. I would definitely recommend The Salisbury and will return to see The Whisky Room, if possible. Thanks to all for a great visit today!

Booked here before we made our trip. Very courteous on arrival, and we were seated quickly. Me and my wife had the steak and ale pie (Sunday roast was sold out), excellent quality ingredients and very tasty. The Salisbury has a real historic feel with great atmosphere. Highly recommended..

Stumbled around this area after we ended our walking tour. So many pub to choose from and we thought why not try Salisbury. We seated ourselves, menus are on the table. Ordered at the till. Very much self served except they will bring you food. That’s it. We left before they even came and clear our dishes. 🤷🏻I am quite sure about tip option. In North American we tip after we finished. Either we satisfy with service or not. They asked for tip on the machine right after we order. Quite odd. Ordered 2 fish & chips came with small dipping sauce ( get a bigger one please it’s not jive with the size of fish) , burger and another dish . Potions are big. We were agreed foods just so so. Nothing stand out and wow us. Typical pub food. Drink on the other hand cold and refreshing.

Classico pub londinese, ottima varietà di birre,buona musica,buon servizio , ottimi gli hamburger ed il fish and cips.

Excellent atmosphere and service. Really good food. Highly recommended.

A beautiful interior typical of many pubs in the area. It was quite busy at lunchtime. A mistake with our food order was handled well. Sandwiches were good.

Authentic Victorian pub with all the fittings right in the middle of the theatre district. Can become very busy but I found staff, service and food to be good, especially given that it is in the centre of the tourist part of the city.

Just want to say that Deny is an amazing member of staff! One in a million Deserves a pay rise! Because of her, i would definitely recommend this pub to anyone

I wrote the review on the nachos and the prosseco fizz issue. I stand by the nachos but have deleted the review because I think it unfair to raise the fizz issue in a public forum such as Trip Advisor. I should have complained at the time.

I love the beer and music here! perfect experience

Very nice establishment with a good welcome. We were served by Richard who has a lot of humor. For my first fish and chips, I enjoyed myself, but above all, the products are fresh, and everything is homemade. Compared to the quality and quantity, it is well worth the price. We will come back, for sure.
