It comes with four mini pies - steak & London pie, chicken, bacon, and leek, cauliflower and Cheshire cheese and a mushroom pie. I tried the Seafair's beer and my dining companion had the ESB. Both were good. So these pies, they were excellent. The crust was crispy and flaky and not at all soggy. I really enjoyed the mushroom but liked them all. The cauliflower was not either of our favorite but all in all excellent excellent pies. They came with mashed potatoes, creamed, cauliflower, and spinach as well as a gravy for your pie. The restaurant was clean. The Service was friendly and it was an excellent experience for my first London pie eating. I would come back here again!

One eventually came to our table after sitting awhile. I of course had to try the fish n chips. A couple of veggie burgers were ordered and a regular burger. Surprisingly happy hour was still on at 8 o'clock so drinks were ordered. The food all came at the same time and everything was cool. The fish had a nice flavor from the fried batter. To me it was similar to Long John Silvers as far as the batter is concerned, but slightly better quality overall. The fries were standard. The only thing horrible was the very bland mashed green peas. They should be omitted from every pub across the country, but I think it is a traditional item included with the fish. The cocktails were good as well as the price. The sticky toffee pudding was something else I was advised to try while in London. I must admit it was really delicious. It came with a scoop of ginger ice cream and a warm buttery toffee sauce to pour over. It was delightfully warm and sweet and paired well with the ice cream. The cake itself was moist enough on its own with notes of brown sugar and molasses. I could have had seconds and thirds of this desert. Yum! The majority of my party didn't think the food was fantastic. The burgers happened to be somewhat alright. This was a first for me having pub food and I would have more again as long as I stick to the basics.

Yes, there are many pubs in London, everyone has their favorite, everyone has their local, and my "local" depends on where I am staying. In any case, several of us met here. The place was definitely hopping but one of our group arrived early and grabbed a table. We all ordered drinks, I had beer which was delicious. After perusing the menu, I ordered the standard- Fish & Chips, with Mushy Peas. It came out quickly and was fried to perfection. Everybody else who ordered food seemed happy with their choices. It was a great setting to meet up with friends, and I will happily come back here when in the area. A solid pub in a city of many pubs!

After submitting the order, it says that food will take 20 minutes. That's fine, but I was expecting the drinks to come out sooner. The food came out pretty much exactly 20 minutes later, but it was at least another 5 minutes after that until we got our drinks. The fish & chips were good, and the mushy peas were the best I've ever had. Normally, I have to add a ton of salt to those, so I got a little worried that there was no salt shaker at the table, but these mushy peas were so flavorful (almost like they maybe cooked it with bacon?). The peas are served in a tiny ramekin, but I could've eaten a whole bowlful! My daughter ordered the truffle mac & cheese and was disappointed. I didn't taste it, but she said it had a lot of mushrooms in it but didn't actually taste very truffly at all. I was also a bit disappointed with the Pimm's & lemonade. The menu says it comes with "orange, cucumber, strawberry, & mint," but it didn't come with any strawberries or mint.
