I went in and there was an angelic presence also know as Morgan behind the bar. She was great and had a well rounded knowledge of the pub and products. Will be coming back

Fabulous, as a Londoner it's always nice to find a genuine old London pub, no music, no pool table,no slot machines, no kids. Beer is good service excellent, food great. Open fire, warm and comfortable and we could hear each other talk without any loud groups or music. Shall definitely be going back.

Excelencia en general. He estado aquí para beber antes pero nunca para comer. Un domingo probé un wellington de remolacha, fabuloso. Cocinado en casa. Muy recomendable, magnífico pub histórico y muy lejos de los pubs más concurridos más cerca de Victoria. Generalmente muy relajado, lástima que la experiencia se vio ligeramente empañada por 4 jóvenes estadounidenses gritando, gritando durante todo el tiempo.

Excellence all round. I've been here for drink before but never food. On a Sunday I tried a beetroot wellington, fabulous. Homecooked. Highly recommended, magnificent historic pub and far away from the busier pubs closer to Victoria. Very chilled out.

Vine de Surrey para organizar una reunión de grupo de apoyo para personas que comparten el mismo origen que yo. No nos conocíamos antes, pero todos encontramos que el ambiente era propicio para la charla íntima y relajada. La comida era genial. Me gustó la cerveza. El nuevo gerente del bar, Greg, fue muy acogedor y se presentó cuando dije que vengo al pub regularmente. Así que gracias Greg y su equipo y buena suerte

Un pequeño pub muy agradable que sirve un menú completo de comida. Sin embargo, no tiene mucho por cierto de cerveza, ya que es un pub Samuel Smith. Así que hay Old Brewery Bitter y eso es todo. No importa, OBB no es malo. El diseño es victoriano/eduardiano original y es muy similar a la princesa Luisa en Holborn. La comida era buena, el ambiente era bueno.

Note, this pub only sells their own brewery's products...no other lagers, beers or ciders...so you better like Sam Smiths beers (I didn't particularly) Having taken the trouble to book a table for four for food and drink, we were given the only table ( a large wobbly one!) in the middle of the entrance to a large hall with seating all round the edges, so it felt like we were sat on the concourse at Kings Cross Station with everyone jostling past us....it was that bad and echoey that we drank up and left as quickly as possible without ordering any food! Probably the worst pub set up I've been too...the staff were nice but whoever thought of just plonking us in the middle of a large hall right in the path of everyone, has no concept of hospitality.

It’s a cosy pub hidden in a nice and quiet neighbourhood. Food (sausages with mash and gravy + korean fried chicken burger) was great and service was good. The only minor thing is that I developed this feeling that service was a little cool. Maybe it was because of our (obvious) tourist appearance or maybe it was because of stress due to the party in the back. In any case, it wasn’t that big of a deal.

After wandering around Westminster Cathedral (not to be confused with its more famous counterpart of Westminster Abbey) we stopped in at the Windsor Castle for some refreshment. It's an atmospheric place and the staff behind the bar was very knowledgeable about the history of the place. The beer was good too. The day we visited, it was not at all busy.

Went on Sunday for a birthday celebration. No atmosphere as it was totally empty of any person. Although the young bar lady was very nice, we were told that there was no roast chicken available! And would have to wait till 5.0 in order to have more of a varied menu. When eventually, after long wait, the ordered food arrived- all different plates of food for six of us was absolutely awful- worst ever meal agreed by all of us. Mine was cold with soggy chips and more batter than any visible fish! and the beef roast looked and tasted like the leather sole of an old boot! Hamburger- dreadful! All in all would NOT recommend, except the interior and exterior was good original Victorian decor.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Windsor Castle pub and was fortunate enough to be served by Prisca. Her warmth and professionalism made the entire experience memorable. Prisca's friendly demeanor, attentive service, and genuine care for her costumers truly set her apart although, she thinks we are lightweights. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering excellent recommendations and maintaining a delightful atmosphere throughout our visit. The Windsor Castle is lucky to have such a dedicated and charming individual on their team. Highly recommended!

If you can grab one of the sofas do for the most comfortable experience as you could end up spending a long time at this haunt.

Pints were priced well, good variety on tap or bottled, but the Sunday roast was possibly the saddest meal I had during my time in London. Not joking when I said that the meat was flavourless. Yorkie the main redeeming factor. Would come here again, just not for the food.

Another great Sam Smith's pub. Quaint, original with a lovely fire in the hearth. Fantastic to warm up with. Staff helpful and cheerful. I'd recommend Sam Smith's pubs for those who use hearing aids and can't stand being in noisy places because the hearing aids overdo it. (My Dad has this issue). If you're a bit of a Harry Potter fan the some of these pubs are the closest you'd ever get to the Leaky Cauldron IRL. Just don't expect a butter beer! A Tech free detox as well. This pub is tucked away but only about 10-15min walk from Victoria. I'd recommend their Sunday roast. Fantastic Yorkshire pud and beef and not that expensive for London at all! The acces is pretty level, but the toilets are downstairs. I didn't see if they had a disabled loo at ground level unfortunately.

We booked the upstairs function room for a family dinner. The lovely young manager, Laura, led us all to the room and attended to us along with other friendly, cheerful and helpful staff all evening. The food served was very good, and we all enjoyed a variety of the Samuel Smith brewed alcoholic beverages. (I, myself, really liked the Pure Brewed Organic Lager and the Raspberry Fruit Beer). The interior decor of the pub was really nice and traditional, and the downstairs area had some partly-partitioned-off sections, which, (we were reliably informed), were originally designed so that 'important' people could have confidential meetings without being overheard or secret trysts without being spied upon! Nowadays they're probably just nice and cosy seating areas for groups of friends. We'll definitely be back again.

It's a decent pub. The venue is quite pretty. Service-wise, I found it average. Price-wise, the drinks were definitely on the expensive side. Also, it lacked sufficient seating around the bar. The spacing on either side of the bar is quite odd, so there aren't a lot of tables and seats.

Went for a Sunday lunch yesterday. Very quiet only a few people popped in and out quickly. Pub food was ok just what you expect for a Sunday roast. Bought a couple of bottles of Prosecco which were quite poor for the price of £35. The barman couldn't even be bothered to open it and just plonked it in the bucket for us to do. He was quite miserable to be honest and not very friendly, I think everything was an effort for him. Would I go back maybe for a quick drink as it's local but not for a Sunday lunch or Prosecco.

Have been to this pub many times over the years and chose it for a post pandemic reunion of old friends, two with mobility difficulties. Extremely disappointed therefore, that the key to the accessible toilet had gone missing so my friends had to negotiate two flughts of stairs. To be fair staff opened a second and nearer toilet for us, but a RADAR key should just be available at all times.

Enjoying a pint or two in this pub is like going back in time in Victorian London. Much credit is due to the "no jukebox", "no sports TV", "no slot machine" policy. Food is good 👍!

Seems like some lovely beers are available and there’s a great decor, but they could do with stating bluntly and openly that there’s a no phones policy, which I find great personally, rather than being passive aggressive there is a puzzling and unfriendly atmosphere that made me want to leave immediately. The barman made a passive aggressive remark towards me about being a fruitcake and the regulars were very stary and strange. Seems snobby and unwelcome, which is a shame

The food was good but the service left a lot to be desired. Took a long time to come and take our orders. Stood at the till for ages. I have a blue light card and showed the man at the till he said I needed to have my ID badge with me which I did not know about and my friend who’s had her blue card for ages has never been asked for her ID before. I explained was new and I could show my bank card which has same name as on blue light card but they said no had to be my badge. Would have been nice to know this before as it’s not stated anywhere. Food was ready I could see it but only one person serving food and some other members of staff walking round. It was very busy but still they could have had more people helping with serving so that food got out quicker and not left sat on the serving shelf for ages. Didn’t get served together so I had to eat my food in front of my friends and their children on my own while they waited for their food. This was even though we ordered at the same time. My friends made me eat it or would have gone cold as I wanted to wait. Very busy and noisy. I’m use to hearing the usual nandos Spanish music but couldn’t even hear it as people where so loud.
