The best restaurants serving British food in City of London, Westminster London

The staff are great, or should I say that the female staff are great but the guy that was on tonight was more interested in his girl friend, or female he wanted to be his girl friend. Spent almost all the time just chatting to her, and other staff were obviously not happy. However great pub, food looks lovely even if we didn't try it.

It was an extra ordinary experience for me and my friends, it’s an underground wine bar close to London Charing Cross station which is very convenient for us.

A first visit to this legendary establishment. Fantastic food, delicious cocktails, perfect ambiance and friendly staff. Dorset crab, cheese soufflé, crab linguine and The Ivy Shepherds pie 🥰 We will be back

Super nice staff, understanding service (special requests were taken into account, allergies), nice ambience and the most important thing: FRESH DELICIOUS FOOD!!! Authentic fish and chips 10/10

The problem with recent reviews is that it only takes into account recent visits without taking the past into account When visiting London, usually once every 6 months or so, the Sherlock Holmes was one of our regular “must book” places for a meal with good food at good prices and fantastic staff. Always a full restaurant, it was fantastic. On our latest trip, we booked as usual, arrived at 6pm on a Friday night, and immediately struggled to work out why there were so many vacant tables. The reason quickly became obvious. A landlord change has given the pub a brand new menu. Out with the good value, great food, replaced with a ridiculously high priced niche cuisine which (from the vacant tables) has obviously alienated most of their existing clients. We left before ordering, and after profusely apologising to the waiter, his reaction made it seem fairly obvious that it was a reaction that he was very used to hearing. It’s honestly a shame to see such an amazing central London pub so empty, but if you’re wondering why you can still make a booking for what should be a fully booked night, the ridiculous new menu might give you an idea. I definitely wouldn’t recommend. Choose The Maple Leaf instead.

Great pub, but pricey staff and bouncers not particularly friendly

I would like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the distinguished employees: Belinda Dorota Olivia for their outstanding service and dedicated efforts. They demonstrated high professionalism and dedication to their work, which had a significant positive impact. Thank you for your continued excellence and dedication.

We had a great evening thanks to Grace & Kata who looked after us Excellently.

The best Apple & Rhubarb crumble I've ever had!

Un pub typique. Rétro avec de beaux vitraux, mais rénové cependant pour le confort des consommateurs. Accueil très chaleureux avec de nombreuses explications pour le choix de nos bières. Je recommande.

Great service Food was excellent Primitivo was delicious if rather expensive We were very well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience apart from a fellow guest who resorted to a barrage of F. words at the end of the meal but our lovely waiter moved us to a quieter corner for our coffee

We started with a nice drink and were enjoying the place. When we went back up and asked for a Southern Comfort, the big bearded barman sneered at us like we’d personally offended him. He made my partner feel really small and kept shaking his head and pulling faces for everyone to see — it was rude, unnecessary, and completely unprofessional. I cancelled the drinks and we went elsewhere. I regret not calling him out on it there and then, but this review will have to do. Lovely pub, great setting — ruined by a barman with a bad attitude.

Great spot to have a drink and hang out or sit down for a meal.

White wine not chilled enough. Expensive. 2 staff 2 customers but empty bottles and glasses left uncollected on tables.

Amazing restaurant with excellent lunches and waitress Diana was very kind
