After a long day of trying to get to London due to many delays, a cancelled flight and our luggage not arriving, I immediately looked for a good pub in the Earl's Court area for a beer and dinner. The Courtfield is conveniently located across the Earl's Court station. When I entered, I was told upstairs only. I suppose they wanted to fill up the top before opening up the ground floor. They have the loo upstairs by the stairs. There is a simple bar upstairs and you order at the bar for food and drinks. The bar downstairs was more of a full bar. I honestly just wanted a quick meal and a beer then head to my hotel to pass out. After glancing at their menu, I ordered a Steak & Ale Pie with a Peroni. The Steak & Ale Pie came with the options for mashed potatoes or chips and peas with a container of gravy. It came out piping hot and the kitchen didn't take too long considering how busy they were. I did have to sit on the large table with other customers but all good because I met a nice couple from Germany on holiday. Customer service was friendly. Good experience for the first pub I've visited. read more

After visiting the TARDIS in Earl's Court, we decided to stop by The Courtfield pub across the street for dinner, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Service was good and loved the atmosphere. Definitely a kick'n place for a Sunday night. We both had the Steak & Ale Pie, made with slow-cooked steak and Ruddles Ale in shortcrust pastry, served with buttered mash (or thick-cut fries), peas, and rich Merlot beef dripping gravy. At £15.75 ($20.66 USD), it was a bit pricy with drinks, but fantastic meal, full of flavor and hearty portions. Loved tat gravy! We're so glad we got to enjoy a British classic and would definitely recommend the Steak & Ale Pie! It was so good! read more

We came here on a weekend early afternoon for a quick pint and bite. The space is quite large inside with lots of different types of seating - booths, barstools, etc. The service was great too We got their fish and chips. It was mildly disappointing - it took forever to come out. When we did eat it, it was so greasy - literally soaked and dripping. It was quite unpalatable. We saw some other tables with other food items and they seemed to be enjoying their food. Perhaps we just had bad luck that day. Overall, would recommend for a pint - not sure about their food (at least not the fish and chips! read more

Such a conveniently located pub across the street from the Earl's Court Station and within a 1.5 block walk from a series of hotels nearby. We dropped by on a Sunday morning at about 9:30am and the pub was almost completely empty, less another couple. The pub space was huge with plenty of tables and seats on the 1st floor. Yes, there's even a 2nd floor to this spacious pub. There was 2 TVs on the 1st floor meaning this probably isn't a spot people congregate to watch games, but to really chill and relax. We came here to exclusively try an English Breakfast in London and that is EXACTLY what we both ordered. The English Breakfast comprised of 2 sunny side up eggs, beans, 2 small sausages, a slice of ham, half of a tomato, a mushroom and toast. To summarize, the breakfast was really tasty and just what we expected. It was a perfect combination of breakfast foods on 1 plate. Nothing in the breakfast was bad, but at the same time nothing surprised us. It's not like it was something we couldn't make at home, but it was sort of a bucket thing to do in London and something everyone should try in London! read more

Update: 28/10/2008 The pub is under new management, and seems to have improved hugely: the edgy atmosphere has gone and the service has also improved a lot. They also sell several real ales, so they seem to really be making an effort to turn te place around. They also have a later licence than the nearby Blackbird. The interior seems to have had something of a makeover, in the traditional style - lots of vermilion ceilings and dramatic draping curtains. The mix of customers is still varied, and it can get packed when Chelsea play at home, but it's moved from a place to be avoided to one where we've happily had a few drinks! *********************** This is the first pub you see emerging from Earl's Court tube station, and from the outside it looks like a nice, large, traditional pub. Don't be fooled: although the interior looks OK, and it serves real ale, the service has in our experience always been pretty unfriendly, and it seems to possess an edgy (unpleasant) atmosphere - perhaps because the SkySports on the huge TV screen, combined with the jukebox music, militates against sociability. I'd suggest walking the short distance to the Blackbird, nearby. Much nicer. read more

Place looked like it would be good but lasagna was mushy and the tomato soup tasted like straight out of a can. Tried adding salt and pepper to add flavor but just wasn't edible. We only ate the side of fries we ordered and headed to McDonald's. read more

Ended up in the area intending to hit up Blackbird, only to find their kitchen closed. Luckily, the Courtfield was more than willing to accommodate us, and we had a great steak and ale pie. The fish and chips another member of our group ordered was just okay. Standard draft selection, lots of booths and TVs. Good people-watching out the window, surprisingly busy area for being a bit out of the way. read more

We jumped off the tube at Earl's Court simply to check out the police box (or is it a Tardis - I'm actually not all that sure anymore because most people would see it as a Tardis despite the fact that those police boxes being rather common on London streets back in the early days of Doctor Who), and decided to grab a beer at the pub that happened to be the closest, which was basically this one. Well, it was okay, though considering the time I'm not all that surpised that it was quite crowded. I didn't mind it but it wasn't one of the best. Still, having a Tardis across the road is still pretty cool. read more

We ventured here this morning in search of the full English breakfast I've been hearing about. It was filling and tasty yet wasn't something I'd order again. There are cheaper breakfast spots close by. The waiter/ owner(?) was so friendly and talkative. His son worked there as well. I took a look at the dinner menu and the fish and chips were £12+ which is ridiculous considering the number of places that are close by and much less expensive. read more

Great pub in Earl's Court area. Live music at night and an upstairs area for dining as well! The food was all delicious. We had the big fish and chips and chicken. The roasted chicken was finished so I opted for another one on the menu. 4 stars only because there was a few things on the menu that were finished before the night was even over. read more

This is the pub for you... If you want a faceless pub like every other! Is that harsh? Should a pub be judged on it's grog, grub and service rather than compared to others? I don't know, if you decide differently to me, leave a review, but here's what I think... Being charged £5.30 for a shandy (I've lived in London too long) and a blackcurrant squash is painful enough, but no Yelper would let that cloud judgement. The tables are all square, and too close together. The food, nice as some as it is (I didn't try the sticky toffee pudding to be fair) you just know it is cash and carry microwaved stuff, even the beer tastes like a faceless chain pub beer, and I know you know what I mean. That said, this isn't an awful pub. On a sunny day, the light through the window is lovely, there are seats outside, and the staff were friendly. The price wasn't ridiculous for that area of London I guess. So it gets a star or two. Basically, when I go anywhere, pub, restaurant, cafe, shop, I want to go there, becuase I want to go THERE. The courtfields is a pub you go to cuz its convenient for the station (or for the sticky toffee pudding, but my mum makes the best sticky toffee pudding, sorry Amanda, it's a fact!) Meh, I've experienced better! 2 stars! read more

When we entered the restaurant it looked packed, til we saw stairs. Went up the stairs and it was a lot quieter and had plenty of space for people who wanted to eat dinner. Had fish and chips here with a side of peas. With beer duh. The peas were cold lol. But the fries and fish were fine, wasn't wowed or anything. I think this place is a general place people go to to get drinks. Food was okay! read more

Never had a whiny queen but I also didn't have any sticky pudding or anything else except pints, football(aka soccer) on the telly, and a sandwich downstairs in the pub. Please note, I never made it upstairs to the restaurant. The staff were all friendly and I had a choice of four different cask beers to choose from. In fact, the establishment has some sort of national distinction for their cask selection. The Croque monsieur I had though was meh. There are many places to eat in the area and if you get off the main street, you'll find many small, busy establishments to choose from. But if you want pints, and if you want cask ale followed with some football and friendly banter from someone rooting for the other team, this is the place. That Sky license is key as not all pubs that have a TV have the ability to show soccer. The place was full for both matches I saw and discussion's with strangers were frequent and friendly. I'll definitely go back. read more

Terrible food. Worst pub food I've ever had. Everything was dry and probably reheated. Drinks were very weak. Would not recommend. read more

The Courtfield has become my go to pub in London for a casual evening or to watch a game. It's an easy-going atmosphere and does not get too rowdy. The location is across from the Earl's Court Underground, so if you decide to continue on your night out, it is easy to access the rest of the city. The food here is pretty standard, so if you're hungry you can eat without fear of disappointment. read more

It was our first night in London and we were exhausted from our train ride there from Paris so we wanted to find somewhere near our hotel room. The Courtfield was only a two minute walk from our hotel (The Trebovir Hotel). As we walked in, the atmosphere was rustic and appropriately worn out, but in a cozy this-is-clean way. When we found the staircase to the dining room upstairs, we were greeted by the waitress who seated us without hesitation. We ordered and food arrived quickly! I ordered a cocktail shrimp appetizer and my sister ordered their soup of the day, both very tasty! For our main dish, I got the salmon, which while it wasn't the most mindblowing soft, succulent salmon i ever ate, the portion and large sides are more than overcompensating for what the dish may be lacking in taste. My sister had the chicken, which tasted a lot better than the salmon. Their potato sides were INSANELY heavy (and delicious)! We didn't make it to dessert because the dinners were large, heavy and absolutely fulfilling! Our waitress was nice and accommodating and understanding that we are tourists and know absolutely nothing, which was nice, but it could also be because Earl's Court is such a tourist living spot and we were in the midst of the olympics for London. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend it for people in Earl's Court living nearby that wants a good, affordable and novel experience in what seems like a rustic and "traditional" london-like dining environment (but take it with a grain of salt, i'm American and is culturally idiotic to what real "london" is). But I would definitely stand behind the beautiful, rustic and antiquated atmosphere of the dining room, it played a part in our overall pleasant dining experience! It really set the tone of our first night in London! read more

Nearby pubs were too packed so we decided to try The Courtfield. My husband went to the bar to order 2 fish n chips, and a pint for him and Bloody Mary for me. Unfortunately, they informed him they were out of tomato juice so no Mary. So I sent him back up for a Martini...this time the girl said no, no mixed drinks. My husband asked if they realized they had mixed drinks on their menu, at which point they replied yes. . Next our fish comes out, looks great, but zero flavor....zero...bland does not even describe the batter, and incredibly greasy. Not a place I would recommend...but probably fine for stopping in for a beer. read more

Wandering around Earls Court neighborhood, we walk into the Courtfield for some fish and chips. We're from San Francisco by the way. So the menu offers peas or mushy peas. New choice for us, so we discuss it. When I say peas or mushy peas, half the pub yells "MUSHY." So we did. We enjoyed them so much that when we got home, we got on Amazon and ordered the dry peas to cook at home, quite successfully I might add. The fish and chips were great too. We highly recommend the Courtfield. read more

The Courtfield is a decent traditional pub, located diagonally from Earl's Court Underground station. It offers the usual solid pub food (including various breakfast options) and a better-than-average selection of alcoholic beverages, including some real ales. Atmosphere is nice, staff usually friendly and helpful. One of the more stylish options in the area décor-wise. Beers don't come cheap though, and if Chelsea have a home game, beer will be served from plastic cups. Recommended. read more

On a recent visit to London I attempted to visit this place three separate times. On the first, a bartender told us to take a seat and they'd be with us shortly. After ten minutes of being ignored, we were then told we should have placed an order at the bar. We left. On the second try we went in - the place was packed, and it was unbelievably hot inside. Not wanting to sweat through a whole meal, we left. On the third try I went to the bar to get a beer, wanting something on tap. I was told that only three beers were available: Stella Artois, Fosters and Estrella. This seemed ridiculous to me, and I didn't want beers I could get anywhere. Considering that there were plenty of patrons around drinking all kinds of beers, I got the sense that they may have been lying to me. I left. I won't be trying to go back. read more

A convenient pub located across the street from Earl's Court station. There are always some great cask ales available.

If you're visiting from the States (and if you're on Yelp then there's a good chance that you are) and if you're asking "Is this a good pub?" (and again, if you're on Yelp then there's a good chance that you are) then the answer is "not really." It's neither good nor bad. The £4.99 full English breakfast is quite a good deal, it's just not an outstanding full English breakfast. And aside from that breakfast, most everything else here is overpriced and not very good. They do have table service so you don't have to order at the bar, which is a welcome rarity at a pub. Given its location directly opposite Earl's Court tube station and the aforementioned cheap breakfast, this place pulls in lots of tourists and commuters, but mostly tourists. The one really good thing that The Courtfield has going for it is that it opens early (I think 8 am) and stays open until midnight. It also has free WiFi, although you'll frequently need to ask them to reset the router. That was the only reason I ever came here, as I live close by and needed somewhere to get online before we got internet installed in our flat. On the flip side, there's this obnoxious whiny queen who works there who makes the experience almost unbearable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not homophobic - I just don't like obnoxious whiny queens. One time I was there and three Italian ladies (see "lots of tourists" above) ordered a round of machiattos. In his most obnoxious whiny queen voice, her majesty snapped at them, "What's thaaaaaaaaaat?????" The Italian ladies just looked at him with that "Are you serious?" look, and not in the sense that they were shocked that he didn't know what a machiatto was (but seriously - what self-respecting gay guy doesn't?), but more in a "What's with the fucking attitude, buddy?" kind of look. Another time I took my wife here and I warned her about her majesty. We were sitting down looking at a menu and the obnoxious whiny queen came up to us and (seemingly politley) asked, "Did you want to order something?" Thinking that he was offering to take our order, my wife began to reply "Yes, I'll have the-" "Oh FINE! I guess I'll just play waiter then!" her majesty snorted, cutting her off and storming away. Needless to say, we haven't been back since. read more

Another of the Taylor & Walker chain of restaurants run by the "Spirit Pub Company". They seem to have gone around Central London (and some other UK locations ) buying up older English pubs and turning them into an english version of Applebees. They are OK.. but nothing special. A very bland and generic Pub experience. Just like the others no waitstaff (no matter what the review or chit on the table says). So you have to go the bar and order your food and drinks. read more

Day 1 in London and the fam sets out to find breakfast, after sleeping past the free breakfast in our hotel. About a block out, we find the Courtfield and see their sign for "traditional English breakfast" for something like 4.99 pounds. Even converted into dollars, that's more than decent, so we give it a shot. My parents ordered the traditional, while I opted for their salmon and eggs. Delicious! The smoked salmon was very fresh and the eggs and toast were great too. Nothing fancy, but good taste. And my coffee...oh man. Once I figured out that "white coffee" means "with milk," I ordered the best coffee with milk I think I've ever had. I also really liked that the patrons weren't just tourists from the surrounding hotels. I love Brit-speak as much as any other California girl, and knowing that locals visit the establishment gives it extra points. read more

My friends and I were hungry, and this looked like a fun place so we decided to try it out. We ordered two mac and cheese dishes and a chicken/mushroom pie. Now, we place the order around 18:35, and one mac and cheese and the pie come out around 19:00. Fine. The sides on the pie were barely hot, so I asked them to reheat the vegetables. 20 minutes later, there is still no food, and the second mac and cheese has not arrived. How could it possibly take 50 minutes to make two of the same order???????? Avoid, avoid, avoid. read more

The bar staff is great, really attentive. However, the food seems institutional. There is no love in the food. I ordered the chicken and mushroom pie and I swear they gave me boxed mashed potatoes. It was tasteless and bland but smooth and I felt with the lack of lumps it was boxed. Plus, the carrots weren't peeled, which put me off. The pie came with a puffed pastry top that had a lot of depth. However, the pastry case for the pie was hard and inedible. Again, kudos to the staff, it was a busy Saturday afternoon during the showing of the Grand National and they really held the place together. What came out of that kitchen was a disappointment. I doubt I'll go back. read more
