We only had one night in London before heading off on another trip, and we were craving some British classics, but we left pretty disappointed with the food. We ordered and paid for our food and drinks using the QR code, which was convenient, and the staff brought everything over once it was ready. The sausage and mash was honestly the saddest sausage and mash I've ever had (see picture). There was barely any mash for the number of sausages, and the gravy had no onions and pretty much tasted like instant Bisto. The fish and chips was a decent size, but both the fish and the batter lacked flavour. The drinks were overpriced as well. The pub itself looked nice and cozy, and the staff seemed friendly. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing and not the British pub meal we were hoping for. read more

It's got a nice decor and ambiance but the food is just ok, and the service is terrible. I ordered the steak and ale pie, which had a good flavor and decent amount of meat but the pastry is dry and bland. The chips were underdone and both soggy and stale at the same time. The chipotle chicken tacos are a good deal but the flavor wasn't for me. Did not enjoy the chicken katsu one bit - barely any curry, small portion of chicken and same issue with the chips. I will say the fish and chips others ordered looked like a great deal and everyone around me finished all their food and looked happy with their choice. Drinks are priced on par with other locations in the neighborhood. If you're popping in for a quick one I think your good. In terms of service, it's slow, unfriendly and unhelpful. Downloaded their app to get a free reward which never worked. Asked for help, the girl spent 15+ mins with my phone telling me it had been redeemed then told me I needed to order food first, then basically said tough shit. Asked if she could just manually enter the discount and she declined. It took like 10 mins to get a beer despite maybe 1-2 guests at the bar. I wouldn't recommend based off my experience. read more

Just a good ol London chain pub but despite how busy it was on a weekend night, the hard working staff here was very friendly and kind to us. Shockingly decent wine choices for a city pub! And the crowd was fun, made for a good quick-drink atmosphere on our final night out in the UK! read more

Solidly, absolutely, totally fine. We came in for our first meal in London after flying into town and just needed a place that was open at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. Earl's Court Tavern checked the box. All of us thought the food was fine, the beer was cold, and the service was friendly and quick. I tried the fish and chips, and it was squarely in the middle on the fish-and-chips food spectrum--it wasn't bad, and I'll never get it again. The kids got wings and they had enough to say that they were fine, too. This would be the kind of place I would hit from time to time in emergencies if I lived nearby, because I have a feeling they do everything on the menu moderately well. read more

Ahh... my old local! Came here most recently in October 2023 and can honestly say that not much has changed! I popped in for an afternoon lunch and was happy that it was pretty quiet.. able to easily get to the bar, order, get a table, etc. I did walk by on a Friday night, too, and it was more crowded -- so depending on what type of atmosphere you're looking for, it varies. I've found that just given the area, it does attract a fair amount of visitors. Staff is decent -- not overly friendly, not rude. Good little place to pop in. 2023: 54/100 read more

We have been here ti taste Fish and Chips....It was WONDERFUL!!!! Thank for this British experience. Elisabetta e Chiara

My wife and I found this tavern near our hotel after we landed in London for our honeymoon. This is a good solid British pub/tavern. We ordered the Big Fish & Chips and Halloumi & Chips for food. I realized we could not eat the scampi due to it not being a kosher fish and my wife's shellfish allergies (as I discovered it is a type of shrimp), so we got all cod instead. To drink we got the Camden Pale Ale which was very good and the Greene King IPA which wasn't bad but not as good as the Camden. The prices are affordable and the service was friendly too. Apparently, I now see this is part of a network of over 3,100 Greene King pubs as their menu is on the Greene King network's site. read more

During our stay in London, we stayed at the Kensington Court Hotel in Earl's Court. As soon as we landed and checked into the hotel, our first stop was Earls Court Tavern. We JUST got to London so we were all excited to be at an English Pub. The interior was just perfect to set the mood for our arrival. Since it was a Thursday morning around 11am, there were hardly anyone at the restaurant so we had full attention from the Bartender :) We ordered the fish n chips (get the mashed green peas on the side they are SO GOOD), chicken pot pie and some bangers (Bratwürste) with our Guinness :) the Fish n Chips were pretty good but nothing special... but the Chicken Pot Pie and the Bangers were BANGIN'! We went a bit early to order the non-breakfast menu so we got there and drank beer for an hour before we ordered~! Go after 12 noon for the full menu! Next time you are in Earl's Court and you are looking for an English Pub or just looking for a place to eat, try Earls Court Tavern :) I liked it! read more

It's a decent London pub. Nothing to make it stand out among the hundreds of pubs in London and the 3 other pubs within 100 yards. We ate here and the fish & chips were good, not great. It's a Pub-in-a-Box owned by a huge corporation with hundreds of locations. Nothing wrong with that, but I will usually save my pounds for a locally-owned pub with a bit more character. read more

My husband's cell phone was stolen while eating at this pub. Workers at the pub allowed non-patrons into the restaurant who were going from table to table under the auspices of selling newspapers, but were pick pocketers. When we reported the theft to the people working at the pub, they said they called the police and handed the phone to my husband only to learn they contacted the "wrong police department." Oh and the food was only average - small portions. Stay away from this place. read more

On vacation in London and on our first day wanted to visit a true pub. We picked Earl's Court Tavern based on other ratings (which were good) and proximity to our hotel. First time we went it was very crowded (a good thing). They had a soccer game on and it was great. The people in the pub were really into it. We had a couple of beers and some fish & chips. The service was very good, the beers were draught and very cold, and the fish & chips were excellent. Only negative was halftime when they switched the game audio to music. When the game restarted one of the patrons had to ask them to switch it to the game. This was probably a flag that we should have picked up on. But it ended well and we went back to the hotel. We came back a couple nights later. The crowd wasn't as big, but was a little earlier than our first visit. They had a snooker game on, which was great. The service started off good, and the beers were once again ice cold. The problem started with the music. It was techno style mixed with some pop songs, none that of which was very good. And certainly not a good fit for a British pub. And it was loud!! Really loud!! Far more of the patrons were older, like us (mid - late 60's), and it was obvious they didn't care for it. I asked the server at the bar to turn it down a bit and her response was "the manager told her to keep it loud". I asked for the manager but he conveniently wasn't there. I told her it was wrong and she should turn it down. My wife went up to the bar a little while later and again told her it was too loud, so she gave in and turned it down. A few of the other patrons nodded in agreement that it was too loud. When our fish & chips arrived it wasn't nearly as good as the first night. The fries were fewer, and the fish was cooked but the batter coating was rubbery and fell off the fish. It was pretty obvious the oil wasn't hot enough. We finished our meal and drinks, and paid our bill. Just as we were going out the door the girl cranked the music up. A petty move by an immature kid. I'm giving 3 stars because I can't give a half star, and the first night was really good. We won't be going back. read more

Stopped in for drinks and an appetizer and was not a fan. There was no table service, all orders had to be placed at the bar. Grabbed a few beers and split the Our Favourites Platter. It was good for a late night bar snack but not something that I would order for my meal. read more

Earls Court was disgustingly busy while we were looking for dinner, so this place was the 5th (FIFTH!) pub we tried. The Tavern was moderately busy, but large and so not packed like some of the other pubs. The beer girl greeted us warmly and had a few rounds of playful banter as she poured two drinks. Good start! I ordered the small fish and chips and the server kindly let me exchange the peas with salad. Another good sign! The food came out after a short wait and I dived in. Salad: excellent. Chips: perfect. Fish: ehhhhhhhhh. The fish needed a little love. The portion was large, but the batter was just OK and a bit too greasy for me. The tartar sauce was basically mayonaise with a hint of relish. I applied ample amounts of both lemon and vinegar and that helped, but I prefer food that doesn't need help. Earls Court Tavern had an awesome vibe, great servers, and a full menu of both food and beer, but the fish and chips failed to impress. I'll definitely go back, but might grab dinner somewhere else first! read more

The British pub located in South Kensington offers traditional pub food like fish and chips. Make sure you order your food at the bar. Try the local beer which is quite good. Free seating. read more

Earl's Court Tavern - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Diners beware! Initially looks like a lovely pub w/ delicious menu. UNFORTUNATELY, they seem not to have most of the food on it (from onion rings to sirloin steak) but worse, they don't bother to tell you when you order that your sirloin w/ onion rings, pepper sauce & chips will end up being a rump steak with late cold congealed pepper sauce AND without onion rings (& no they don't bother refunding you the difference proactively but grudgingly agree to give you 2 pounds for the wrong steak after you insist). Apparently they had run out of a lot of ingredients over the weekend. Unacceptable uncaring service. The chicken & mushroom pie was also a little dry & I have had much better. Disappointed. I was looking forward to a good pie. Lunch wasn't worth it. Avoid! read more

While traveling in London we stayed at a hotel down the street from this tavern. After sleeping all day and trying to adjust to the jet lag we woke up in the middle of the night and were craving food! This was a great choice that we made, the food here was so good. I loved the Fish & Chips. It came with everything! The bar had a huge range of ciders to try. I started bouncing between different ones, with my favorite being the Kiwi & Lime Cider. Not a huge tavern, but perfect for the area that it is in with a great atmosphere. The bar staff were really nice and friendly. I am looking forward to coming back and getting the Fish & Chips again for another late night "dinner" and I would easily recommend this place to any friends that visit the same general area. read more

We had just landed in London for the first time ever, and wanted a convenient, but ideally authentic, pub experience. We walked up and down the street a bit to find something that looked realistic and not to commercial. The menu at Earl's Court Tavern looked... touristy, but also stood out to us because it had a lot of clearly marked vegetarian offerings. I had already accepted the fact that I wouldn't get an authentic Fish & Chips experience on this trip at all. But then I saw the Fries Halloumi Cheese and Chips item on their menu, and we stopped immediately. The meal was great, the service was fine, the beer was tasty. Will go back again for the veggie pie or roast. read more

This was a nice pub. I went with a few co-workers. The food and atmosphere was nice. I think it's a typical London Pub. I ordered sausage and mash. Which is sausage and mash potatoes with gravy and bits of onion. It was good the sausage was lacking a bit of flavor for me but the gravy and onions really made up for it. I loved the onions in the gravy sweet and perfect. The mash potatoes were a bit stiff but I think that's how they do it in London. My co-workers loved their food. They had fish & chips. A London staple. Another co-worker had ham eggs and chips. She really liked her meal. Yes I would return. This people were friendly and nice! read more

So pretty much your traditional English pub. Nothing too special but nothing bad. Good Beer and cider selection, basic fish n chips, and always some kind of Soccer (football) game or highlights on. I also went their for breakfast and even though the food was just like every other English pub breakfast, I must say the staff was a lot friendlier than most English pubs, especially typical night staffs. If you are in the South Kensington/Chelsea area, not a bad place to hang out, meet new people, and have some good old English food. Their website says they open at 11:00am, however they are open around 9:30am for Breakfast. At night, it's pretty busy, especially if there is a game on, so I would book a table on their website or call of you can. read more

Decent pub around the corner from the Earl's Court Tube station. Reasonable selection of beers on tap with several sit down tables and high tops. I can't comment on the food, we just had drinks. Pleasant staff, reasonable prices considering the neighborhood. read more

Lots of people and good vibe--mostly younger college age crowd. The fish and chips was great. A def fun place to have dinner. After dinner we walked down the street and found another restaurant with the same exact menu..interesting. This other place however, had a little bit of an older crowd and less energy than the first..interesting. read more

Earl's Court Tavern - Fish n chips and beer. Hard to beat - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

My wife and I arrived a bit too early to check-in to our hotel down the street, so of course we wind up in the nearest British pub to down a pint of ale and sample the local fare. The staff was friendly and helpful, and very patient with our out-of-town-ness. The barkeep suggested a couple ales to us, and we proceeded to have a relaxed, enjoyable time at the pub. The food was standard, average pub food. Good chips. I really enjoyed the perfect tavern ambiance that this place had going for it. Very clean and kept-up, yet completely traditional. I'd definitely stop by again for another pint. Although I've quickly realized that there are many, many other very similar pubs, part of the "Taylor Walker" chain. read more

New to London here... Seemed like a pretty standard looking British Pub. Friendly staff, nice welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the ultimate fish n chips. Just what I expected, but it was a huge portion - I couldn't finish! Chips were good too and I especially liked the curry sauce. Dinner and a pint of draft beer less than 20£. Yes, I would eat here again. read more

Went our first week in London and was pretty surprised by the food. Good sized portions and tasted good. Will be back.

Had dinner here one night - very classic pub interior with friendly staff. Ordered big fish and chips, regular fish and chips (it appeared the only difference was bread come with the big fish and chips), tomato soup and Mac and cheese - all were quite tasty. No table service - you order at the bar and the food is brought to you. It was a nice meal experience. read more

Typical English pub, great bar food plus a nice assortment of tap English beers. The bangers and mash was superb. I had lunch only a few times here so never saw it real crowded. If you like pubs, this is what you are looking for. read more

I'm glad this little gem is still open during COVID, we came from across the pond and was delighted with a warm meal

Loved this place! Food was great, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Highly recommended

Awesome fish and chips, freshly made batter! Great beer, always a good people watch!

Just your average English Breakfast. Nothing special. Staff was boring during the day. Nothing much to write about since we only visited this place during the day, and just once. read more

We broke one of my cardinal travel rules: we went to the same restaurant twice. BUT in our defense, the breakfast was so good, we wanted to try their dinner. We enjoyed our nice leisurely breakfast. The hot chocolate was so good I had to have a second. My egg, sausage, bacon wrap was so large I couldn't finish it. My husband loved his English breakfast and every other breakfast he tried during our trip just couldn't measure up. Our dinner was tasty as well. The hunter's chicken was the best chicken I had while in London - flavorful and tender. The husband went for the normal sized fish & chips and found it to be pleny of food. But they do have a large sized fish & chips available for purchase. read more

There is a very rude bartender who does not have any willingness to help, does not speak basic English and even worse, he argues with you and makes it sound like your fault, when all he wanted to say is he does not have the type of drink you wanted. I really felt offended. Please avoid this person. read more

This place was the first stop we made upon our arrival into London. We were staying in apartments down the road and while we waited for our check in we stopped in to Earl's Court Tavern for lunch. The pub/restaurant is conveniently located across from the Earl's Court tube station. We had great service and excellent food. We ordered a couple of pints, a burger and the steak pie which were both very good. This is your quintessential British pub with creaky floors, wooden beams and a good selection of pints on tap. We enjoyed this place so much we ended up returning two nights later for late night drinks. Unfortunately, food was only served upstairs in the dining room after a certain time of night so we didn't end up ordering dinner. I would definitely recommend this place as there are lots of people coming and going, great food and friendly service. We were also told breakfast was very good, so on our next visit we will be returning! read more

What a great experience. I got the fish and chips and it was one of the best fish 'n' chips I got the whole trip, Their local beers were outstanding and the service was incredible. The waitresses were attentive and they even went above and beyond to help us figure out a route to our bus the next day. read more

I'm pretty sure this is the equivalent of going to TGI Fridays back in the states. Chain owned establishment. Loud, obnoxious pop music playing through the place. It has veggie fish and chips on the menu, which is cool, but my fries seemed stale and my peas were cold. Meh. read more
