The Silver Cross in City of London, Westminster

Love this pub, expensive, but great atmosphere.

Today I went there ordered food and multiple drinks, the staff was attentive friendly and communicated well in particular the staff member with the bunny ears. Dealt with all my requests with no issues or problems including when I messed up my order.

The worst staff in the world. The lady at the bar was so rude. the drinks ordered wrong twice. She was taking orders and speaking with her friend or college, who was drinking at the bar. She is working at the tourist place and she was blaming my accent that she didn't understand what I would like - cocktail Margarita she gave me beer Moretti. I told her that the order I'd wrong, she asked me to pay again. When I told her, she didn't listen to the customer because she was chatting with the guy. She did cocktails for me, but again, it was wrong cocktails. After all this spending time at the bar, my food was cold. My day was ruined. I was with my family travelling around London at nice weather, lovely places. but this lady event didn't say SORRY. thank you. I never ever come back to this place.

Recommended place for fish and chips, indeed in addition to the quantity, the quality was there. Consistent service and prices. I recommend.

The order I made at the desk was given written. Because I got no reciept, I couldn't check the order. So, one meal was forgotten. I placed new order which gave us a free Coke. Food was ok eventually. When my son went to ask toothpicks, they said that there is store open nearby. OK food, but lowest service in London. Very sad place.

Sam and Matthew were amazing ! Best bartenders

Pleasant way to recover from a long walk. Had quiet spaces while there were plenty of customers.

Cibo e birre molto buone.Locale caratteristico.Personale molto disponibile.Centrale in Trafalgar square.Consigliato

Ella was brilliant but my steak sandwich left a bit to be desired. Get a burger!!!

Popped into the Silver Cross after a nice long walk along the south bank with our pooch Obi. We found the pub via the Guiness website as we were looking for somewhere that does Guiness 0.0. Very friendly staff fussed over our little fella, and were at hand with doggy treats. Reasonably priced drinks for a city centre pub. Fairly big inside and nice long bar so didnt feel cramped ordering a drink. Only downside was that the table we sat at didnt have empty glasses and dishes taken away during the hour and a half we were there.

Came here for a drink with my Wife before heading out for dinner, very pleasant and reasonably priced with lovely staff.

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Brilliant staff, very Friendly and very helpful 👍

Fuimos a comer antes de visitar la National Gallery.Ibamos con un poco de prisa, pues como turistas poco experimentados queríamos verlo todo. Tardaron un poco en servirnos pero he de reconocer que mi Guiness y mi Flat Steak estaban ricos. Lo primero mérito de Guiness.La carne mérito del personal que lo sirvió en su punto. A pesar de la dificultad del idioma nos atendieron con amabilidad, Hubo un problema a la hora de pagar en barra, supongo que sería un error, pues a mi concretamente me cobraron bien. La comida pues fue de mi agrado y también la atención

Very nice place. Good food and beer. A beautiful historic setting. Just badly there is a gateway to hell in men restroom

Sam was a quick and friendly server on top of the food being lovely. Would recommend

A very central and decent historic London pub. I can't rate the food, as I didn't eat there - but it looked nice. Pints were over 6 pounds but I guess that's not that expensive for near Trafalgar Sq. Probably why I usually stick to the Wetherspoons. The bar staff were all really nice. Waiting staff were really, truly, running around. I hope they all get paid well.

Fun bar with amazing eats! Lots of seating with friendly and efficient staff. Great beer and cider selection. The cherry vanilla rum was also fantastic!

Nice, spacious tent. It takes some getting used to having to order food and drinks at the bar, but it is convenient. Nice menu with dishes to share. Very tasty!!

Nice food, friendly staff, lively atmosphere

The pub was very relaxed and had a nice ambience. We found a place for Sunday evening without any problems. There was a special menu for Sundays. The food and drinks were very tasty.

Good spot for drinks and some food as well.

We enjoyed a pre theatre lunch here and were happy with the food and the service.

Beware as this is a tourist trap with lots of fried food offerings. Terrible quality. Waited an hour and food was simply awful. We ordered small plates. Beers were good. Avoid and get off the beaten track for quality food if that is what you're seeking.

Restaurante pub que se estila mucho en Londres, pagas en la barra lo que quieras , la bebida te la llevas tú y te sirven la comida , te buscas tu tb la mesa Comida rápida y sin mucha pretensión,carta no muy extensa , precio asequible para Londres Buen ambiente

Seriously I’m shocked about the high reviews here. Ok, it’s fine for beer and the beer was good. The waiter was nice enough but the kitchen was extremely slow. That’s the only reason I’m giving it two stars because the food was literally the nastiest food I have ever had. We got the shared platter and out of five dishes no one wanted to have more than a bite or two of each. And we were starving. Everything was either greasy or extremely bitter. I’m guessing the oil is rarely changed. It took almost an hour to get our food. Please avoid unless you are there for beers…then it is perfectly fine.

Very nice staff, fast service and reasonable prices. And most importantly: the burgers were delicious!

We stumbled across the silver cross and stopped in for a drink. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food.

Came here twice on a Saturday. Happy enough with the food and drinks. Large pub/ restaurant. Good atmosphere there. Ordered on the Greene king app also.

Beef sunday roast was dry and poor quality. Low value for money.

Great service from Sam today. However other staff weren’t as helpful which was a shame

Nice server and service was great. Sam was our server.

The place is really charming and we had a lovely meal! Great service by our waiter Sam! Absolutely would recommend!

Nice place, the food is nothing exceptional and the prices are above average since they are in a fairly touristy area

Refused entry at the door, reason; "you look too intoxicated" Tonight after a long day of work doing 15 hours of a 12 hour shift, I happened to be passing by. Walking past I decided to go back and go in for dinner. I decided to look at the menu even though I pretty much always get either the fish and chips or the breaded scampi when here. I then opened the door and was told instantly by the bouncer "sorry you can't come in you're too intoxicated". I was surprised by this, given the only thing he saw of me at most when I was standing outside were my Chino trousers while I was looking at the menu outside. I asked how, and said what my job was and that drinking on shift was an instant suspension, and that I didn't have time to drink considering I'd left work no more than 20 minutes prior. To which the bouncer told me that didn't matter. Tired, hungry and not looking for an argument after a long day, and given that the bouncer was calm and not confrontational which is rare, having worked with them in hospitality and having dealt with them numerous times in my current job, I decided to just let it be. Having been to this pub several times in the past, with friends, colleagues and/or family visiting from home, and also having recommended it to said friends and colleagues. I regard this place highly because of it's decent quality food, at a pretty decent price given its location smack bang in the middle of central London I hate to let one single person ruin such a great place, but sadly after tonight, I'll strongly reconsider going in the next time I'm nearby

Sam looked after us, no complaints, had a lovely lunch.

Proper pub food very tasty waiting time good not bad price staff friendly and polite

Very cozy pub, just like you would want in London :)

The food was mostly great (we did 5 small plates to share, salads, sweet potato fries and onion rings). There was a family with screaming kids that were out of control and driving everyone crazy, but our waitress ELLA was THE BEST! She has a great sense of humor and made the experience wonderful! Overall great service. Definitely recommend the crispy chicken, the hummus, and the fish. Side salads have wonderful peppery arugula and watermelon. Sweet potato fries were delicious. Pass on the onion rings!

The place is incredible, the food is very good, the service has been very good. We have ordered bread with butter and steak and ale pie, brutal. Sam and Mourina have been lovely

Sam served us today. Amazing service. Very courteous and very attentive service.

Mounira and Sam served us really well and the food was so fulfilling and amazing! Thumbs up for all you guys!

As French, we enjoyed drinking and eating in this pub, the quantities were really there.

Super cute atmosphere, the food is good, and the staff is absolutely lovely. I didn't like my steak so they changed it for me so easy, and they even apologized several times. Try the pie and mac and cheese was delicious.

Pricey but that's the middle of London tourism! Still good food and cold beer!

The food was delicious, but the best thing about the place was the service, the girls were super friendly, they helped me decide the best option for me taking into account my intolerances and allergies.

nice pub, ela is the best bar tender!!

Lovely vibe and ambience amidst central london. Great service and good space. Must recommend

Ella - best bartender I've ever had. Give her a raise

I quite liked the Fisch and Chips although they have other specialties on the menu depending on the season.

Ella is a fantastic bartender. Made great recommendations for me tonight. I’ll definitely be coming back because of her

Great place to come if you’ve got a crowd and/or little kids. Excellent service - thank you, Sam! And yummy food… especially the steak & ale pie. Good food, good beer, good wine… makes for a great lunch before you’re back to exploring more of London.

They really deserve ZERO stars. Ordered a bacon burger with onion rings, french fries and a lemonade. After 20ish minutes I got the burger and it was cold, the meat hard and dry (including the bacon) & all the salt in the french fries concentrated in the same spot (so some potatoes very salty and others had no salt at all), they presented a plate with (literally!) 2 onion rings: a regular one and a tiny one inside the first one. Being hungry I tried to eat it but left most of it in the plate..worst burger I ever had in my life, I suppose they take advantage of the footfall as they know they will always have unaware customers. If you would like to enjoy your meal, go elsewhere...

Very annoying place - this restaurant restricts seats according to whether we order drinks with our meals even though it is empty at 2:00p. The male bar person who takes our order seems uninterested in our patronage and not helpful when taking our orders - big attitude problem for someone who works in the service industry. I was told they have a single clean table in their meal section. So, I should take it or leave it. Due to this restriction, I decide against ordering drinks since we are placed in the meal only table section. Fortunately, the servers are great and courteous. I enjoy my steak & ale pie. The fish included with our fish & chip is meaty and done well. They are generous with the gravy for our mashed potato.

Worst burgers ever tough as leather real tourist trap

Didn't eat so just had a few drinks after work

Great place to grab a drink, excellent service by bartender ella, served drinks quick and was great to talk to. Would recommend

Stopped in for the fish and chips. Great people! Great service!

Food was ok! But the service was so slow that we literally saw 2 tables arrived between 20 and 30 min after us and they left before us. It took them around 45 min to give us the food and they tried to charged us for two coffees that never arrived. Not recommended at all!

Absaloutely loveeeee sophiaaa bestest bartender evaaaa

Great, creative food, affordable considering the neighborhood! Excellent service!

Sam was sweet and so helpful made us feel so welcomed

Spent my night at the silver cross for work drinks. really happy with the service, especially from our lovely server Sophie! Makes a fantastic Jagerbomb!

Amado was brilliant service and brilliant customer service and was aware of people waiting for very quick on his feet and a great worker Definitely come again just for amados brilliant service a promotion would be a great idea for Amado as he is very understanding and quick on his feet Thank you

Sam was an amazing host!! We enjoyed our meal but enjoyed his fun loving service even more!! Darla, Angie & Cyndie from Vancouver, Canada

Nice pub at a nice location. The food and the house beer need some improvement though. I ordered nachos but it wasn’t close to being a proper nachos plate. There was no guacamole, instead it was big chunks of avocado. Salsa tasted wrong. Cheese wasn’t enough. The spicy flavour was from chips itself not the pepper - there was no pepper. Smashed potatoes could be better with a different presentation. Fries were ok. BLT was ok, nothing special though. That applies to the house beer as well. The atmosphere is good. It makes you thirsty :) The staff is friendly but for some reason some seemed in between rush and panic. I have also seen an apparently senior server roasting another server quietly but in the middle of the tables. This was not nice. They show PL games and F1 races which is great. Thanks!

Amazing pub! Christa who served me at the bar was kind and helpful and she had a great knowledge of drinks.

Sam was very helpful and attentive. The food and drinks were delicious. Would definitely return.

Sam was awesome!!! Food was delicious, fast service, great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Everything was good. I would recommend 😊

Had a lovely meal. Our server Sam was lovely and we enjoyed chatting with him. Service was excellent!

A typical English pub. We ordered a hamburger that was very delicious, a Cod sandwich that was actually very lacking in content. Price quality is good and is in line with what you pay for it taking into account that it is LONDON.

Sam was incredible and the food was delightful

Food was good and service and environment are great!

The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the price - all great! What made this experience even better was Mounira! Ask for her, she’s the assistant manager and she’s the best!

First came here in 1975 as a young sailor.

my visit to the Silver Cross Pub was a fantastic experience. the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. i was served by carolyne who was incredibly friendly and attentive and making sure i had everything i needed.

Beautiful and pleasant atmosphere but the taste of the food does not live up to expectations

Came here with a friend for a pint, Sophie served us alongside her manager Kiera and they were both lovely. Pub was nicely decorated and both servers were very polite and chatty - a great laugh too! Kaarage chicken was delicious babes

I was served by Sam who was extremely efficient and overall great. He was always checking on us to make sure we were satisfied with our meals and drinks. Has become a go-to spot whenever I'm back in London.

After a long day exploring London and shopping this was the place to end the day. The table service was delightful and quick, thank you Sam for making such a busy time super quick. The food was great this is definitely on my come back list

Sophie was fantastic serving us, great vibes in the pub and lovely and clean! Highly recommend to others visiting to London.

Stuff are absolutely amazing really kind and take customer needs seriously came here with my seven week old baby a partner myself for a day out to London and felt absolutely comfortable with the service and had an amazing time. Will definitely come again.

A great pub. The staff is very nice and the food was excellent. We had to go to this pub on three evenings.

Attentive staff, Sam, eings good scampi and chips fine but could have been hotter

Flora, Emilio and kerala were amazing! Fast service and the food was very good

Old pub in Whitehall. Accessible to armchairs in the first room. Ms need to have an armchair that can be raised because tables. high. Only two coffee tables near the entrance. And you need to be accompanied because orders are made at the bar, as is often the case in pubs. Bar accessible after two steps. Correct traditional meals.

The food is really good, first time in London and superbly disappointed with the customer service. Never checked on us and grabbed his own drinks to consume but not for us, We were continually ignored the whole time. Our starter came out only after we asked when we were brought out main meal. I will say, the food was delicious but it doesn’t offset customer service.

Lovely pub , I was served by Sam he was very helpful with what he recommends . Food come quickly tasted good . Would say the place is standard London prices for food and drink .

Cheeseburger immangiabile (troppo cotto e duro) e pollo annegato in salse da fast-food. Si salva la steak pie (ma il purè sotto lo standard). Birre non male e acqua gratis. Bagni puliti e molto grandi.

Fish is delicious, Sam took good care of us.

Great atmosphere! Sam was extremely friendly and lovely, will definitely pop in again for a visit when I’m in London :)

Amazing customer service, sam served us and we felt happy and comfortable, overall a good place to visit and will definitely go again!

Sam is a lovely server, good quality food and atmosphere, slightly long wait at lunch time on a Saturday.

Our server was amazing. Shoutout to Sam!!! Flexible, courteous and patient. Thank you!!!

If you've just visited Big Ben and one of your kids is complaining because they need the toilet and the other is complaining because they're hungry, this is the place for you. Nothing special, but the burgers, fish n chips, and toilets stem the tide of complaints.

Excellent experience in a typical English pub, large seats and nice decor

Great experience in this pub! My mother has problems with food allergies and before letting us order Rico, the guy who served us, scrupulously made sure that what we were ordering was okay for her. I found this attention and kindness truly unique! Thank you so much Rico for making us feel good! Excellent food, really good fish and chips!!! You don't pay for water.

This place has the Flags of several Countries on the ceilings. I sat right below my country 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

I enjoyed my time at this pub. Sophie was very knowledgeable and helpful!

Was served by Sophie, was very warm and welcoming, couldn’t ask for more
