Suchh an amazing atmosphere, and the most delicious food. I had the Sunday Roast and it was perfect. Everyone was really nice and the authentic British beers and decor really made it feel like home. There was a game on and it was a great setting to watch read more

Yeah, I don't know. It was the World Cup game between England and Croatia so I was willing to forgive a lot. But as soon as I came in, I was getting weird vibes from the bartender. Also, there was a sandwich board outside that clearly announced a happy hour, but then I got back my tab that charged me double the price I was expecting because "it's the World Cup" even though there was absolutely no indication anywhere that the happy hour was void because of the game. (I've paid 15 dollars for a beer before! That's fine! But I absolutely despise false advertising.) Moreover, one of the patrons was a complete ass about me having to squeeze past them even though they had parked themselves in the busiest section of the bar. Terrible vibes. Go anywhere else. read more

I came here for their Christmas dinner last year, and it was one of the most fun experiences I've had. We ordered the roast, which was tender and juicy. It came with the traditional sides: veggies and Yorkshire pudding. The meal came with a choice of appetizer. For me, I chose the fois gras on toast, which was oh so buttery. The star of the show was the sticky toffee pudding. It was so decadently sticky, caramel-y sweet. I loved it. Oh, and our meal came with this wrapped gift that you pop open for a surprise! We had loads of fun here. If you're looking for something to do in the city on Christmas day, try this! read more

Jones Wood Foundry - Christmas roast with veggies, Yorkshire pudding, and a side of fois gras. - British Near Me - New York, New York

3.5 due to service. Food 4 stars. Food Ordered the Scotch egg, calamari and fish n chips. The Scotch egg and fish n chips were delicious and I would order both again. The fish was a little on the pricey side at $31, but that is NYC. Calamari was good, not amazing so I would try a different app next time. Service We sat at the bar and 2 of 4 meals came out a whole 15 minutes before the other half of our group. We were done eating by the time the second round of food came out. Ambiance Cool pub scene. They play soccer games. read more

Jones Wood Foundry is a British pub/taproom and I went for a work event in the back room! The front part of the bar is narrow with mostly bar seating; in the back there is a big space with couches/tables and perfect for a private event. I'm not that big of a beer person but I really liked their cocktails. The Pomegranate-Ginger Fizz and Crisp Britannia were both on the sweet side which I enjoyed. The ginger beer came through and the cider was great, respectively. For food, we got a wide range of apps/sides. The fish and chips were tasty. The fish was pretty fresh with a classic thicker British batter. The arachini was pretty good - I liked the spinach one more than the salmon one, which could have used a little bit more seasoning. The kale salad with strawberries was good. I got to the apple pie a little later in the night but it was still crispy and crumbly; went well with the vanilla ice cream. Drinks came out at a reasonable time for the amount of people present. Staff were polite! read more

How soon is too soon to return? The scotch egg could have been a tad more jammy but the sausage was seasoned to perfection! The mousse was spot on with plenty to go around! Next time a roast? Pie? The possibilities are endless- btw is the Yorkshire pudding classic British or more a popover? read more

It's a nice place with great ambience. I came here to try their JWF Salmon Burger, and it was good and tasty, the chips were delicious too. Also got a Caesar salad with anchovy for an appetizer, which was fresh and nicely dressed. The sticky pudding was decent, but the rum sauce was a little bitter for my taste. They've got a good beer selection, and the one I had was crisp and refreshing--perfect with the meal. Service was friendly and smoothly timed, no complaints. Overall, food was solid--not wow-ed, but I've never been disappointed. Still a great gastropub, and I don't know many places that have a salmon burger! Definitely worth the visit. read more

Great ambiance, but the portions are very small for the price. they also don't include any sides. for example, the burgers are served without fries, or even pickles unless you pay for it. which was disappointing considering the cost and the tips option. The least was 20% read more

Let's start with service. Sweet charming petite gal. Vety helpful & terrific at her job. Heard re FISH & CHIPS. Very very nice. The restaurant is simply not clean. It needs a complete overhaul. My table was dirty. Everything is shabby & worn. A major Paint Job is in order. The water carafes are shoddy & need replacing. Nice large linen napkins. A definite A+ there! Not returning despite terrific FISH & CHIPS. read more

I went to this British pub with a small group back on January 25th for a special night that is only done that exact day though I wish they had these dishes otherwise as it was excellent. That night was the Burns Night Supper and they serve a small tasting menu for $65 a person based on the Scottish tradition, the Burns Supper. They also serve solely the main dish for the next week or so and it's nice to see that a place in the city that serves haggis. I got some alcohol along with it which was a glass of mead as they had a fun selection (yes I didn't get Scottish whiskey/sue me) which was tasty. The service was fine though a bit slow occasionally. The appetizer was Scotch Broth and it had lamb neck, barley, and root vegetables. The broth was warming and would be perfect on a winter day and had some pieces of tender lamb and a good mix of veggies along with some barley for texture. There was also some pieces of bread to dip in which was a nice touch. It was tasty and I will order her this from here if I had a cold and it was available. The main dish, the Haggis, Neeps & Tatties was better. They list solely the description of the haggis consisting of American lamb, onions, Scottish oats and Andrew Hamilton's special spice blend. For the latter two, neeps refer to swede/rutabaga and tatties are potatoes. The haggis had some richness to it and an interesting texture and there was certainly was a lot of spices in it ranging from a pretty strong black pepper to some other stuff I really couldn't identify. The rutabaga was sweet with a good texture and the potatoes were soft. The whole dish came with a nice broth presumably made from lamb also which was thickened and richer than the broth before. Dessert was Cranachan listen both in description as a traditional Scottish dessert and also as a dessert of cream and fresh seasonal raspberries bolstered by Scottish oats and whiskey. It almost reminded me of overnight oats in terms of texture outside of the very tasty cream on top and there was plenty of raspberries for sourness. There was also a light sweetness to the dish as well some type of cookie on top which I believe was a shortbread with some powdered sugar on it which was a nice touch. I'm not sure if they're going to do this dinner next year but for people who like lamb and for people who who want a very comforting meal during late January, I would recommend doing this. Mid 4 for the fun special and I hope they bring it back in a few months. read more

I'd say it's more 3.5 than 4 but definitely better than a 3. I came yesterday with my mom for dinner. The staff were very friendly and inviting. My mom wouldn't tell me where we were going but when I saw the menu I knew she picked this place specifically because they have Scotch eggs and she knows how much I love them and how hard it can be to find one. I'd give the scotch egg 3.5 out of 5. They do a blend of chorizo and breakfast sausage, a mix I've never had before but sounded good. We decided to share one to start because we weren't that hungry and both were getting separate meals. It's perfectly crispy on the outside and the meat was tasty. The biggest downside for me was missing the description reading a "semi soft boiled egg". My favorite part of a scotch egg is the runny yolk from a soft boiled egg and this wasn't the case. I've also always been served some type of mustard, whether it's spicy brown or a curry mustard, here it comes with tartar sauce. They do have a spicy brown mustard so it worked out. My mom had Bangers & Mash and I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. She really enjoyed the bangers & mash and my chicken sandwich was ok. The sandwich wasn't spicy at all, which was what I was hoping for based on the name but it tasted fine after I added some of the brown mustard. The French fries were very tasty! With all the restaurants to try we probably won't come back on our next visit to the city. read more

Jones Wood Foundry is all about the English roots. So I had to try a full English breakfast, one of their brunch offerings on the weekend. It was okay, a decidedly mediocre dish. The eggs over easy came out overcooked instead. The rest of the dish was good, but again, nothing in particular stood out. Service was okay as well. It seemed like they had a lot of area to cover, between the outside seating, long bar, and the dining sections in the back. But aside from a couple of delays in orders, the servers were really nice and did their best. I could see this being a good spot for a beer in a quieter, local pub setup. Not sure I would seek it out for the food in particular, though. read more

I finally got to this place and honestly if you blindfolded me and put me inside I would think I was in the UK. I had such a perfect experience here and the menu is so expansive that it will take many visits to try everything. From this current trip, I would definitely recommend the burger with "chips," the scotch egg and banoffee pie. I can't wait to go back to this charming cozy spot. read more

We came here on NYE's after a disappointing experience at another similar style bar/restaurant. My partner has been craving a roast turkey dinner and we saw that Jones Wood was offering a roast chicken special for NYE! Not quite turkey but close enough for him for that night haha. We arrived a little early and at first were the only people in the place. We had a table booked at 5:15 and decided to have a drink at the bar before our reservation time. I had a glass of sparkling wine and my other half had a couple of pints of bitter (one of the few places we have found in New York that offers proper bitter beer). Service was good and the place quickly started filling up from 4.30 onwards. We went to our table and decided to start with the chicken liver pate (which we shared). This was delicious and a good size portion, so we were excited for our mains. My partner ordered the chicken special and I went for the sausage and mash. Both of these were really tasty (the sausages were some of the best we have had in the US) and the portions were very generous. We were too full for dessert but we did both order a baileys coffee, which was very generous on the baileys. The total bill came to $165 (including tax and tip) which included our food, 5 drinks and the coffees. All in all we really enjoyed our dinner and would visit here again if we were in the area. read more

Jones Wood Foundry - Butternut squash Risotto - British Near Me - New York, New York

We are former New Yorkers visiting from LA. Some of the food was good. Some was ok. The service was slow. My tea arrived late maybe because the waiter forgot. It was deducted from the receipt. We felt like we were forgotten maybe because we didn't order alcohol? Dinner was about 2-3 hours and we didn't really have time to stay that late. My mushroom risotto with a side of salmon was good. My husband's beef wellington had a bit too much sauce. The spinach was bland. Maybe it needed some roasted veg? The chips were pretty good. My son's fish and chips were pretty good. His chocolate ice seemed a bit powdery. read more

This place is alright. Right off the bat it took a while for someone to come around and seat us. Seems like they might be understaffed? We ordered: Scotch egg- excellent. Best scotch egg I've ever had. Crispy exterior, moist sausage, runny yolk interior. Tangy sauce for contrast. Sunday roast- mediocre. For $35 it only came with 2 small slices of beef, though the beef was tender and well marbled. The vegetables and Yorkshire pudding were fine. The gravy was weirdly thin and pretty much flavorless. I may give them another shot sometime, but the first impression was just ok. read more

Great atmosphere for a romantic date night or just a chill night out on the town. Stellar beer selection although be forewarned that they do not server liquor - only beer/wine. They have some creative wine cocktails as well. The ricotta app is the standout in my opinion. I've had a few fish dishes as well as the steak au poivre. The food has always been very good. This spot stands on its own in the very crowded UES read more

I f***ing love this place. Best burger in the city. Best fries "chips". Great service. I'm so glad I live next door.

This is one of my sister's favorite restaurants in the city. We stopped here for dinner in November. We split the Yorkshire pudding popover, which I thought was over-scorched. My mushroom risotto was excellent and she very much enjoyed her roasted salmon. I'm not the world's biggest fan of banoffee pie, which we split. My sister liked it. Service was prompt. The restaurant was crowded with tables fairly close together. read more

Nice spot to enjoy a meal with friends. Fish and chips are great. I wish I would have gotten the malt vinegar I asked for. Watermelon spritz was super tasty, great summer cocktail. Wish staff would have been a bit more attentive. read more

The good news? Inviting decor, consistently good food for both brunch and dinner, and a nice selection of beer. The full English breakfast is enjoyable. The Scotch egg is excellent. The fish and chips and tuna au poivre are good. The savory pies I've tried have been tasty. Great food and decor for a rainy day. The bad news is the service has gone straight downhill in recent times. I used to come here all the time. In the past few months, I've gone twice for dinner and twice for brunch. All four times the service has been slow and indifferent. The hostess has seemed grumpy to have to seat us. The food and check have taken bizarrely long, sometimes with more than one reminder needed. What happened? read more

Was a bit disappointed by the food unfortunately. Restaurant is very cool, great space with a little garden in the middle too. The menu looked so promising and I tried the special daily pie, which was pork shoulder. Unfortunately it was dry and quite bland, not a great combination. It came with some nice triple fried chips (AKA fries), which were good, but I thought should be crisper given they were triple fried and also could have used some salt. Other dishes seemed pretty good, a salad was nicely dressed and the daily roast came with some nice accompaniments. I wish I got the english breakfast, maybe next time. read more

After going to the met, we stopped here for a meal. There were still tables available. There is a bar here that open later than the kitchen. I would skip the scotch egg the next time. The yolk was overdone, and the meat coating reminded me a lot of a slim jim. I did like the tartar sauce that came with it though. The roasted chicken was moist. The stuffing was hearty and delicious. The mashed potatoes were creamy, buttery, and smooth. It's very reminiscent of a home-cooked meal. The shepherd's pie was good. The potatoes were like the mashed potatoes from the roasted chicken. It had a cheesy taste. The lamb was tender. The dish was very filling. Sticky toffee pudding was too sweet. However, it was very fluffy and melted in your mouth. The ice cream made it a bit less sweet than on its own, but not something I would get again. The entire meal was very comforting and homey. Perfect for a cold, rainy day. read more

I've eaten at the Jones Woods Foundry a few times in the past and always enjoyed it. This time was different- We ordered a chicken and leek pie and the spicy fried chicken sandwich. First, they brought me a fish sandwich instead (the fish was fried to a dark brown, nearly burnt level). I sent it back and got a bland chicken sandwich with a nearly burnt bun. Not only was it not spicy, it tasted like it wasn't even seasoned at all. My son's pie had an overwhelming citrus acidic flavor in the sauce, so we ended up sending that back as well. He got the fish and chips which was well cooked, but also totally and completely bland. We honestly would have had a more flavorful meal if we'd just gone to KFC. I have never written a review of a restaurant before, but it really upsets me to pay nearly $100 for such mediocre food! The service was fine (aside from giving me the wrong sandwich). read more

I like the service and the food is good. However, their menu items are a bit limited.

Unfriendly staff, decent food. I usually wouldn't say that about staff, but the bartender seemed deathly afraid I would attempt to converse with her and kept interaction to the absolute bare minimum. It's not a welcoming feeling. I was well dressed and not drunk. I didn't get the issue. read more

My friend and I were visiting New York recently, and we were needing to kill time and find a place to eat lunch in the Upper East Side. We took to Yelp to find the best place to eat, and we landed on Jones Wood Foundry. We were happy to see that they take reservations, but it turned out that we really didn't need one when we arrived. We got there pretty much right after they opened. It's the cutest British pub! They have bar seating when you first walk in, and then they have some additional indoor seating, as well as a cute little garden patio. My friend and I ordered the hummus and the grilled cheese to share. The hummus came with three different flavors, along with some grilled pita bread. It was our favorite! We regrettably didn't realize what kind of cheese was in the grilled cheese, so we did not like it at all. But it was our fault for not knowing that it had a type of blue cheese in it. I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch or dinner! The pricing is fair. The grilled cheese was $13, and the hummus was $11. Most of their plates are in the $13-$30 range. read more
