This place has a great atmosphere, good English food, perfect location. It was a fun meal!

This is a great local spot with American takes on British food. Nice beer selection, live music on the night we went, clean bathrooms, friendly and attentive service, and overall we enjoyed ourselves! My only knock is that the outdoor porch is WAY too buggy. It's Florida, so tough to control, but I didn't see any attempted control measures. But even some swarms of bugs weren't enough for us to stay away - we will be back! Here's hoping they restock Hop House 13... I was shocked to find it in the US! read more

Very average fare. "Chips", just say no Order of dining room, disheveled. What can I say. Maybe New Years Day was a bad choice? read more

Waiter must have forgot our order because we watched multiple tables come after us and get their food before us (same food orders) either that or the kitchen doesn't go in line with the tickets. Sat there for over 1 hour and waiter never even stopped to realize something must have been wrong. Terrible service. read more

BEST fish and chips I have ever had. I enjoyed the cod. The crunch that the entire piece of fish had was like nothing I have ever experienced. No sogginess at all. I was a little weary about a deep fried pretzel but omg to die for. Didn't even need the beer cheese it was so good. The pear cider is exceptional as well. read more

Guinness desert, fish and chips, Shepard pie are all fantastic. The ambiance of bar reminds us of the Winchester from Shaun of the dead as a true Brit pub with outdoor seating too. Service has always been spot on every time we go If there is a Football ( aka soccer) match, this is a great place to watch. read more

Had a lovely afternoon with my Dad in Mt Dora and stumbled upon this gem. The Bartender was so personable and welcoming. Food was fantastic. We split a steak sandwich- which was hands down one of the best sandwiches I've eaten in a very long time. We also shared fish and chips which was equally delicious. Portions were huge and the setting comfortable. We opted to sit outside as it was a pleasant sunny November day. Definitely recommend and will be back when I head down to Florida later this winter read more

Ate dinner at this fun British Pub, Magical Meat B. tonight. Neal and the rest of the crew gave us absolutely fabulous service. He helped my husband select a beer & me a cider with his knowledge of the large variety they serve. I enjoyed the lamb burger. It was delicious & came with fries. My husband ordered the bangers & mash, which was two bangers stuck in mash potatoes & covered in yummy gravy & served in a large Yorkshire pudding. This must be the most creative bangers & mash I've ever seen with that Yorkshire pudding bowl!! We shared the Flake Bar Sunday for dessert. I just love that this pub used a British chocolate bar in the ice cream just like they do in the UK. We enjoyed the food and the authentic pub feel of this restaurant. The service was friendly & great. They also have live music some nights. I am absolutely dying to have the Scottish breakfast there tomorrow - it comes with tatie (potato) scones & white pudding (sausage usually made from grains). Their British breakfast comes with black pudding. We enjoyed these types of meals in the UK so I'm always excited to be able to order them here too. read more

Not great... it's lost its true British charm. Felt a little rushed, and not very authentic.

British flare pub. Dog friendly. Covered outdoor seating. Fish sandwich was delicious! Service was great. Relaxing place to eat and enjoy the breeze by the lake. read more

Don't go there for personality. Staff was self obsessed. Menu was scatterbrained. The AC though was on point.

Visiting from out of town. Fish and chips tasted strange. Taste of freezer burned fish. Nice service and nice ambiance.

Definitely has that English pub feel. Great, friendly service. Great drink menu with full bar including cocktails and import beer on tap (Guinness, Kilkenny, Fuller's, etc...) This place also has a special Gin and Tonic menu featuring about a dozen unique concoctions. Food was comforting British pub food. Fish and chips and the like. Solid stuff. A touch pricer but hey - inflation sucks everywhere. They had a fried shrimp special that has a unique batter that was really good! Only cons I'd say are that it's a bit divey of the sticky tables variety. Sometimes the servers get a bit busy waiting tables and making drinks while also bringing out food. Some of the TVs seemed to be out of order or turned off. Overall though we loved this place and will be back again and again to get our fix! read more

Ordered Fish and chips was delicious, and Sticking Toffee pudding was to die for. Service was great. Nice British pub restaurant

Very good! We had the fish and chips. Loved sitting out on the patio. We also had the chocolate cake which was good and very rich in flavor. read more

Worst $150.00 I have ever spent. Her Majesty drink tasted like Vicks 44 cherry cough syrup! Tyson frozen fingers are better then these, Tomato soup was cold, bread sticks with beer cheese - the cheese had lumps in it and did not taste right, the scotch eggs - the server said they were small @$13.99 per and they were large and it was mostly egg and breading no meat, the cake was frozen and did not thaw out in time for the rest of the meal to eat and lastly the ice cream sundae was mostly whipped cream where is the ice cream? The server never checked back with us, did not ask why there were full drinks and plates on the table. Ridiculous overpriced bad service, food and drink! read more

Visiting Mt. Dora we had heard of this place and found it on Yelp and google maps. Entering, it was like finding an authentic British Pub! Waitress Elaine took great care of us and made us feel right at home! Fish and Chips are a must for at least one person at the table. So are the beer battered sausage and Guinness Chocolate cake. We had 2 kids and they recommended splitting the fish sticks as it was a big plate and they did great sharing it. And they were not American style fish sticks either but they were basically small sized portions of the fish and chips. The place is decorated with pub style chairs and tables, and authentic red telephone booth and two bars in the main eating area. It's like going home and we would recommend it as the staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is wonderful. read more

Downtown location can get VERY busy unexpectedly. This sometimes catches the staff off guard so you may have longer wait times, a little messier tables but they will catch up. We arrived on a Saturday after a very large party had just left. We got our food and drink very quickly and the staff was friendly and apologetic about the mess. We watched the staff work on "resetting" the restaurant after the group left. Food was tasty and well priced for the quality and quantity received. read more

Was very hopeful, but just didn't happen. Server was very sweet, but everything took FOREVER. We waited at least 20 mins to get our drink once our order was finally taken. We only ordered an app, which was 'eh', and ended up having wait and request napkins, utensils, ketsup, etc. When we were ready to leave we realized getting our tab wasn't going to happen. We had to go in to get the tab and pay so we could go. Next door at the italian restaurant people were moving in and out getting good service and by the looks of it great food. read more

Hopped in here for lunch on a whim this past weekend while exploring Mount Dora. I heard good things, so we grabbed a table in the side room. To start: service was solid - we had multiple people checking in on us frequently. The atmosphere in the side room isn't amazing, but we were here for the food. The main room looks like a lot of fun, but we didn't want to bother people with a semi-fussy baby in tow, especially due to the imminent start of the USA World Cup game. The haddock and chips was massive and perfectly fried - probably the best fish and chips I've had. I even took some home after the meal, which usually isn't the case with me and my appetite. Layering the hand-cut fries, or chips, with malt vinegar did the trick for a perfect accompaniment. The burger was so juicy and flavorful, with a perfect char on the outside. Skip dry burgers from elsewhere and come here for an impressive half-pound pub burger. While we weren't interested in drinks this time around, the beer selection looked solid and included some British staples, including my British pub go-to Old Speckled Hen, which you don't often see on beer lists in the US. Overall, a nice experience. I'm excited to come back and try more on the menu - the savory pies definitely caught my eye. read more

What a disappointment. Look can be very deceiving. We chose the restaurant because we were told it is authentic British pub w the owner came from England. We ordered fish n chip. My husband had cod with skinny fries. I had the haddock w steak fries. The orders came out looking so fabulous. The battery was superbly crunchy. We were so excited with the food looking soooo good until we had the first bite mushy texture layer next to the fabulous batter. The fish had no taste. I had better fish tasting at fast food restaurants! The skinny fries were very good. The steak fries were soggy n burned What a disappointment! Must be cheap frozen fish supply! What a waste of my money and calorie intake! Ruined our evening in the nice little town read more

I researched this restaurant through Yelp. So, based on the Yelp rating and their online presentation, we tried Magical Meat Boutique for Father's Day's dinner. The first thing I noticed was that their online information does not jive with their current business practices. They are not open until 2 am, ( not that it matters to us). They do not serve an abbreviated breakfast menu all day. As a matter of fact, they serve breakfast only on the weekends until 11:00 am. The food was OK. At home, I make Yorkshire pudding and popovers. The Yorkshire pudding presented on my entree tasted reheated. It had none of the crisp exterior and custardy interior that is the hallmark of this iconic dish. The mashed potatoes in my Bangers and Mash in the Hole had none of the "mature cheddar" advertised on their menu and to which I was looking forward. I did enjoy the bangers. They were tender with a perfect sage breakfast sausage flavor. I ordered their $10 Guinness chocolate cake to go. In my opinion, it's not a ten dollar slice of cake. My husband ordered the Fish and Chips. The portion was generous and flavorful. The chips were good, relatively crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. The inside of the pup is dark and pleasant. There is a space for live music. It could use a cleaning. read more

I love this place. I always make it a point to come here when visiting Mount Dora. Great food. Always friendly service. Love the British pub theme. Good vibes all around. read more

Came here today with a 4 top for breakfast, the customer service is ok, 2 nice girls and 2 rude ones, they must be very short staffed and half your order will be wrong and the other half will come out when they feel line it. This is definitely one of those places that you come back to on nostalgia not because it's good.... read more

I can't review on the food. However, the treatment we received today was not the greatest. It's Sunday and it's a busy area. However, the patio is seat yourself. We had our dog so we wanted to be out of the main area so we seated ourselves around the side and someone was cleaning off our table and she seemed ok, she said your server will be with you shortly. It took about 15 minutes to be acknowledged from the server in our section. The first thing she even said to us was " It's going to be 45 min before we can make food!" She said it very curt. We are understanding people but she wasn't nice about it at all. I was very disappointed. We ended up leaving. I hope that this was a rare occurrence. But, I don't think we will be back. There's many other places that would not treat you like a hindrance. read more

Classic British Pub owned by a Britt in the heart of Mt Dora. What more can you ask for? Traditional fish & chips is the mainstay, but they offer a wide array of pub fare. Large selection of international beers on tap and they serve a proper British pint ( 20 ounce ) and not a US pint ( 16 ounce ). Love the decor and friendly atmosphere all within steps to all of the attractions of downtown Mt Dora. Had the privilege to meet with the Owners ( Phil and Kate ) on a recent visit and chatted about the origins of the very unique name and how this cheery British chap ended up in Mt Dora. Very interesting story! The Magical Meat Boutique is a must stop while visiting beautiful Mt. Dora. Cheers! read more

So we passed this last year and I wanted to try it so this year for our first faster of the year here we are. We sat outside (beautiful evening). The beer cheese and pretzels Steak and ale pie and fish and chips. Fish needs the malt, salt, and tarter but cooked amazingly. The pie was awesome and the pretzels were delicious. Would come back to try more. The service was outside and was good but had the ability to go to the bar if I needed it to be faster. Overall I will come back. read more

8/9/23 - 4 stars because the fish & chips as well as the shepherds pie were outstanding. It was mid afternoon on a very hot day day. The door was open. Although it was pretty warm inside we were hungry and several other places we passed were closed. The place was almost empty and our server was efficient but certainly not engaging. However, since this is a "British Pub" atmosphere, I wasn't surprised. Although we'd hoped the beer we ordered might be colder, that wasn't a surprise either. The food however was GREAT, hence the 4 stars. read more

We were very impressed, our meals were all perfect. Great taste, good portions. Service was prompt & courteous with the decor being unique! We will definitely be going there again. read more

Came here for the music on a Friday. It's a good English bar. Lots of English choices. Food looks ok. We didn't eat. Beer is not cold.

Awesome Fish and Chips. Just like in Ireland/England with mushy peas. Fish was good size. We chose Haddock which is a bit more in cost but worth it. Everything was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend. read more

Living in Europe and having fish n' chips from the source, expectations can be high. Finding a British pub that's supposedly known for the fish n' chips seemed promising. Some of the reviews raved about them and some were really low reviews. Well, unfortunately I would suggest going elsewhere. You can get really good fried fish elsewhere after all we do live in an area close to the ocean , but I haven't found British style fish n' chips anywhere. This fish was overly battered, no flavor, and extremely greasy. It saturated the serving tray (see pic). The chips weren't bad. Three of us ordered the fish and one of us ordered the chicken sandwich. Stale buns and dry chicken and no flavor. We could overhear the couple behind us complaining about the stale buns to their server, so if wasn't just our experience. We won't be back. read more

So I have mixed feelings about the Magical Meat Boutique in Mount Dora....I wish I could give this 3.5 stars. Mount Dora has a bunch of cute little restaurants but when we found out there was a British pub with British food....we were so excited. This place is small but also super quaint. The decor is cool and there are plenty of seating options, especially in their outdoor patio area. Plus, there is a super cool train compartment outside that serves as decor and a seating area. We ordered a round of beer to start off with. My sister recently went to London and was super excited that they had Old Speckled Hen on tap. We ordered the Sheppards Pie, Fish and Chips, and the Scotch Egg. Our favorite was the Fish and Chips. The fish was so incredibly crispy without being soggy. And yet super flakey at the same time. Like what a win! The other dishes were eh. We didn't love them or hate them. The sheppards pie was good but it needed more seasoning. Also, it was hard to differentiate what was cheese vs potato since the cheese was coated very heavily on top. The scotch egg was okay. It was wrapped in pork sausage, which seemed a little dry. It was supposed to come with mustard but we were given a jar that literally had minimal mustard in. And it wasn't one of those "squeeze" bottle type of mustards....so you can see my concern about germs here. Service was lacking. Granted, there were only 2 waitresses for the entire place. Also, the food takes a while to come out. We had finished most of our beers by the time our food came out. And the food was warm-ish but not piping hot. While I love both local businesses and British food, this place was average for me and I'll probably try to find a place closer to home. Stay for the fish and chips but that's about it. read more

We decided to take a day trip on Thanksgiving to Mount Dora. While we walked around and took in the beautiful waterfront and small town charm we came across Magical Meat Boutique. We were so excited because nothing else in this beautiful town was open for Thanksgiving Brunch. The atmosphere is really spectacular with all the original British decor, music, and authentic British food. We were so excited to sit and enjoy a real British pub experience. The staff was pleasant and prompt. The entire experience was very relaxing and enjoyable. The food options are outstanding and very authentic. They had an amazing Thanksgiving special that was cost friendly and delicious. Great selection of beers and cocktails, we will most definitely be returning. read more
