it’s a beautiful pub. I particularly like the mosaics in the dining room at the back. A member of the Nicholson’s chain where I have been happy with my food in the past. Unfortunately, I didn’t order well today.They do take more care about food than usual in pub. Everything was served on warm plates. My cheap steak frites for 10.95 was not terribly impressive. Steak was dry and tasteless having been grilled at too low a temperature for any caramelization. Fries were good. A half tomato and a mushroom served as garnish. Both could have done with a coating of olive oil prior to grilling. My companion was happy with his classic burger which comes cooked to medium.Moral of the story is to stick to simple pub classics at a Nicholson’s.
Went in for what a traditional English breakfast, was ok but nothing to wow me, the bacon tasted over cooked and the eggs were slightly inconsistent inregards to their cooking, tried black pudding for the first time but not something I’m going to go out of my way to order, they did however have great attentive and nice staff.
I came for the food, not the alcohol. Regarding the latter, it was packed with a huge crowd on the streets enjoying various libations – so it certainly was popular. … But the food was definitely not memorable; not bad, but not at all worth going out of your way. … The pub itself is interesting – small with interesting decor.Service wasn’t great, but the waitress was working as hard as she could, so I did not count that in my rating.
Excellent outdoor space to hangout with good quality pale ales. Slightly expensive but very nice quick bites and other food. The pub was filled when we walked in on a Saturday evening and was lively. The table right outside are available to sit, when the inside is occupied.
This place is a classic in Blackfriars area with a great atmosphere, friendly staff with a great variety of drinks including G&Ts and great great music!
What a gorgeous pub. It’s so beautifully decorated inside. Great food too! We were hoping to try their roast which is apparently very nice, but we were there on the wrong day. Oh well, next time! Did I mention it’s very pretty ? operationgoodfood.wordpress.com
Walking in and been astonished by the architecture and decor is immediate. Absolutely charmed, me and my friend have been warmly greeted by the staff and seated in no time on a sunny saturday lunchtime. The service has been fast, given the crowd, the food good (I loved the skinny sharer) and the mood cheerful. It is a great place to impress and has reasonable prices.
