Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

The Crusting Pipe sits in a plum position at the heart of London famous Covent Garden Market and just minutes away from Charing Cross, Embankment, Covent Garden and Leicester Square Underground stations.

Customers seated in the outdoor terrace can often enjoy impromptu performances from local musicians and actors. Inside the vaulted interior of the dining rooms and bar there are numerous nooks, crannies and semi private rooms which make perfect areas for dinners, meetings and events.

Delicious, fresh and seasonal food is served all day from breakfast to a-la-carte meals, simple bar snacks, tasty sandwiches and traditional afternoon tea. The wine list offers an extensive range of wines from Davy’s wine merchants, many of which are available by the glass.

The restaurant did not have our reservation when we arrived but they sat us anyway which was nice. The waitress brought our drinks and never came back to take our food order. All of the tables around us were being serviced. After an hour we had to flag the waitress down for a check. We never ate. We were sitting outside with the queue of people waiting on the toilets. An unpleasant experience overall.

The restaurant is very cold. We didn’t go there in the really cold spell but it was still too cold. Staff really not that interested. Kept propping the outside door open to assist them. Food was ok. No alternative to Xmas menu. Will not be returning.
