London’s leading game restaurant prides itself on full flavours, innovative ideas and perfectly executed dishes at every service. From classic cuts and succulent steaks to squirrel croquettes and crispy crumbed pheasant, a focus on both traditional and lesser-known (but always seasonal), British ingredients served alongside independent boutique wines makes this handsome gastro pub a game-changing drinking and dining spot for the City.

Been several times and food always good. Seemed quite expensive this time though - had to call the waitress several times

All main steak dishes not available - basically almost 50% of main courses not available as a result. Complete joke. This was a great place to go - sadly will never go back after last experience.

Opentable Diner, thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience with us. I am very sorry for your recent experience at the Jugged Hare, I have passed on your comments to our Executive Chef so we can increase our orders and ensure we have enough Sunday roasts. Once again my sincere apologies.

The place was very busy due to the Barbican next door. The food was nothing special and in some respects had very little taste. Things looked very nice but must be difficult to make food that tasted of very little. The food at the table came out at different times. The sides we ordered came 10 minutes after the mains. It was ok but probably wouldn’t go again.

Hi Foodfoodfood, we appreciate your honest review. We set a high standard for ourselves, so we are disappointed to hear that your experience with us was not a positive one.

Lovely dinner before the symphony at the Barbican Centre, right across the street. It was Sunday roast night and I had the excellent roast beef. Good service, nice atmosphere.

Friendly and helpful service. Excellent food - we ate off the pre-theatre menu. Good value. The only slight annoyance was that, when paying by card the card machine gave me the option of adding a tip (or not) when there was already a 12.5% service charge on the bill.

This was the first I dined at The Jugged Hair and it was terrific. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere nice. I hosted six family members and they all enjoyed their dinner. Best to stick to simple drinks as two of us were drinking gin martinis and they came in different sizes and tastes each time! I look forward to going back.

Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We hope you have a great day!
