We pre booked. Great venue with clean spacious attractive ambiance. Friendly and made us very welcome. Wheelchair friendly and inclusive environment. Nothing too much trouble attitude very helpful covering service and busy bar. Amazing how they did it, there was a wait. So go to relax and enjoy your meal out don’t go when you have a tight schedule. If they want to make improvements this is an area to look at at an extra member of staff, it’s a very large venue and when full as it did get over the lunch time it must have been very stressful for those two staff members. Our Buddha bowl meals were delicious too. Starters not as good as the deserts they were fabulous. We had a great time and I would definitely go back again.

Roast Beef was excellent! Table set ups were a bit all over the place, but it’s a pub, so fair enough. Mulled wine was also terrific!

Always a cracking evening at the dog house. Been living in London for 28 years and would hands down say this is the best place to watch sport, have a good meal, and be well cared for by staff!
