Super noisy, very cramped seating. Was told on arrival to go upstairs then we were sent downstairs. Then we were told table being prepared and which table it was and then someone else took that table. All a bit chaotic. Quite a few menu choices were unavailable. Hoping for a quintessential British pub experience for visiting friends but a bit disappointing. Quite good value though and roasts were good.

Drinks are fine, service are nice. The Game pie came out still frozen inside. Mash was lukewarm at best. They kindly brought out Beef Tartare and chips on the house for the wait (thank you) but the chips were cold and slightly under cooked. When the pie came out again it was poor quality and bland. Won't be returning for food in the future.

We were greeted and shown our table quite quickly. Waitress was very nice. Food ok not bad value for the price. However the experience was let down by the state of the ladies toilets. They are poorly lit, the doors didn’t lock and a member of our party had to hold it closed and there was paper all over the floor. This was a shame as the rest of the experience had been good.

Unfortunately although this pub is a great location in Belgravia the food doesn’t really deliver. We have been there for a simple Sunday roast and the dinner just quickly turned in an impossible mission. Apart from the carrots, nothing else that the chef can cook. The pork, was the driest possible you can eat and we quickly changed it for a beef. Rubber wheels are potentially softer that what we have been served. The gravy was fat mixed with water, the meat had no flavour and the dumplings where burnt, visibly burnt. Is disappointing for such a traditional pub to not be able to serve the most traditional dish. Further to this, although the waiter kindly apologised multiple times, we received a tiny discount, but the management seems unbothered that the chef is ready to serve carbonised food without an apology from the check himself It remains a great pub for drinks, with terrible roast and management

Fantastic pub in a beautiful area of Belgravia. The food is slightly overpriced but delicious. Portion sizes were a little hit and miss. Staff were attentive and helpful.

What a hidden gem! Reasonably priced, great staff and food in a very posh part of town. Sunday roast was very good value. The upstairs restaurant was busy and noisy but the atmosphere was great. Thanks to the whole team and will definitely be back😊
