This joint was a major disappointment. First of all they were way understaffed. The server could not speak English effectively enough to for me to order a cocktail. Our food was a complete failure. My mushroom pie was burnt beyond recognition. My wife's salmon was overcooked and dry. We could not eat the food because it was so bad. They get the second star because we were not charged for the meal. We tipped the servers and left. There are too many choices to risk this place. read more

We were looking forward to one last dinner of fish and chips. We started our order at the bar before 9:00pm. The persons taking the order was ignorant or high and took so long, we paid, and it was after 9:00pm and the cook refused to the order and told her to give us our money back. She didn't know how to make a drink. She didn't know about wine. I ordered a merlot and ended up with a Pinot Grigio. Just an all around disappointment and waste of time. read more

Not really much to share about The Feather... I didn't buy my drink, so I don't know if their prices are reasonable. I didn't go to the bar, so I don't know what they have on tap. I did enjoy my glass of white, so I'll presume they have a good wine list. I did go to the ladies, so I know that they are downstairs. I will go again if I'm in the St James' area. I will inform you that you need the Scotland Yard exit not the Victoria/Palmer Street one. read more

KID FRIENDLY Pub! WHAAAT?!?! I'm gettin' the chance to enjoy an English tradition with THE WHOLE FAMILY?!?! Love it! (Not that I saw a bunch of rugrats runnin' rampant. Just us and another family at the time.) After a jaunt through the Houses of Parliament, our British cousin recommended this spot for lunch because of its close proximity to the St. James Underground Station, and the family friendly environment it offered. Cool dark wood interior with high ceilings and well-lighted au naturel. Despite al the hustle and bustle goin' on we were able to secure a booth quite easily. No table service, so we ordered at the bar and the grub was delivered to our table. No kiddie choices but that was easily ameliorated by sharing a few plates. We sampled a few items... *IBERIAN BLACK PIG & APPLE BURGER: Not some ground up meat patty, but rather a pork cutlet of good size that was moist and flavorful. Supposedly there's a graininess you're supposed to sense with Iberian pig being acorn-fed, but I didn't get that. Topped with chorizo and apples, it was a nice change to the standard burger. Crisp chips came with it. *VEGETABLE BURGER: Excellent veggie option! Made with spiced aubergine, red pepper, sweet corn, and chickpeas, the patty was thick with a solid consistency. Very appealing taste. Topped with tomato salsa and cheddar cheese, I actually liked this more than the Iberian Pig. Chips were thick but crisp. *FISH & CHIPS: Crunchy batter covering moist fish. Ample serving of thick crisp chips. The young squires enjoyed it. *CRISPY CALAMARI: All "circles" and no tentacles and the batter was actually quite crispy. Only slightly rubbery. Rather than a cocktail sauce, it's served with tartare sauce. *SIDE OF MACARONE & CHEESE: Small bowl was a perfect for size for kids. Munchkin chowed down on it, happily. *SIDE OF HOMEMADE ONION RINGS: The batter here was thick and bready, not so crunchy. A little on the greasy side. Great pub for the family, at least during lunch when we ventured in. RIGHTO, Cousin Sherwills!!! BIG props for this tasty find!!! (And, of course, all the love you showered us with, too!) Food came out promptly, and any errors were remedied in our favor. Friendly service all the way around and clean WC's. read more

More or less a spontaneous visit for me since I just happened to walk by and I gotta say I was kinda suprised. I was craving a beer and some fish&chips and that was what I went for. They offer a variety of beer, all of em draught, I decided to go for some Amber Ale which was quite nice. Adding to that fish & chips, which was very tasty aswell, paid ~15pounds for the package. I don't have that much comparism when it comes to London prices nor to fish & chips, but I definately enjoyed the place, friendly service and tasty food ! read more

First night in London and we popped over to the Feathers for dinner and it was simply perfect. We ordered the schnitzel, the chicken pie, and a few other things and the food was perfect. Fast service, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. Great way to start our trip in London. read more

Quite average. Had the steak and it was below average. Waited 40 minutes for my food and only got it after I asked about it. Another couple who came in right after me had the same wait issue. They did buy me a beer for the wait which bought them an extra star here. (Yes, I am for sale and the price evidently is a pint of Guinness!) The food was bleh and the onion rings were cold. Go for the beer but don't go out of your way for this one. read more

Great solid pub food. We stayed at St. Ermin which was extremely close to Feathers. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We ate here twice because we liked the food so much. I had the veggie burger the first time, and then had one of the specials the second time which was a spinach, ricotta, phyllo dough dish. They were both great! We ordered fries both times...the first time they were out of this world, the second time they were boring. Not sure what happened...? The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was because of the bad music that was playing while we ate and the inconsistency in the fries. read more

This is a classic pub, very comfortable and quaint. The service was very good and the staff were quite friendly. I enjoyed the burgers and fries. They have a great selection of beers as well. read more

Lovely traditional pub with a great selection of pies and other food. Beer and cider good too. Happened upon the Monday night quiz and the host generously added us in and we came 3rd! (Of 3....) food was very tasty and we may well visit again. read more

I went in here on a Sunday afternoon about 12ish to kill a little time whilst waiting for a 2pm booking of afternoon tea at St Ermines hotel which is just round the corner. There's was 6 of us in total. As it was a Sunday the local area seemed like a bit of a ghost town as it's mainly financial/business. Upon walking into the pub it was pretty much the same, dead. The interior is quite nice and has a classic sort of feel and it was nicely decorated with Christmas decorations. We order 6 coffees and begrudgingly off she went. Some time later she returned. We had drunk the coffee's and as we still had some time to kill we thought we'd have another. After returning before we'd even said a word she said "You're not ordering more coffee are you" in fact we were. We found this extremely rude and she obviously was not happy about having to do more than pull a pint. Some of the group wanted bloody Mary's and thankfully for her they had ran out of tomato juice. We ordered a draught beer as an alternative and they were out of our choice in beer too. She had just forgotten to remove the plaque or turn it round like the others than had expired. In all the experience was not very nice and I would certainly not recommend going here on a Sunday. read more

Solid option for quick bite and a drink. We shared fish and chips which was huge and had a side of Mac n cheese and onion rings. All tasty. Fish very good quality. Love the malt vinegar. Wine average but a place best for whiskey of beer. read more

About 30 seconds away from Scotland Yard this place is full of coppers and civil servants. But it's alright here, had a recent refurb and the upstairs is much better. Decent range of beers and specialises in sausages. But it can get ridiculously warm upstairs, I mean like sitting in a fat mans armpit. Oh yeah and if you sit downstairs don't be surprised to see mice running by. Bar staff are friendly, they tend to put the slow one upstairs so it's best to get served at the main bar.... read more

Nicholson's pub situated right next to New Scotland Yard providing a good selection of ale and a decent range of traditional pub grub all at reasonable prices. Nicely laid out with a more drinking focused area at the front while the back is a bit mire foodie. The Doom Bar on tap today has been well kept and is drinking very well. Given the location you can guess the crowd. Gets very busy after work. 6/10 Honest boozer but not worth seeking out unless you are in the area read more

We're staying at The Hub hotel just around the corner so the location couldn't be better. Fighting jet lag we popped in for a quick dinner. The place was totally slammed downstairs at the bar and upstairs in the dining room but we got a table. The service was good but they were really under staffed so it took for...ever to even order much less get a drink. I had fish and chips and it was just meh, good light crunchy batter but nothing special. My hubs has a veg burger and it was also good. Of course it was really over priced but it's Westminster... So three stars for slow service, meh food, and high prices. read more

This lively little pub next door to The Conrad was just the spot to go to while looking for a place to grab some dinner after a long day. The main floor pub was crowded with people spilling to the outside and certainly seems like a great place to unwind and socialize. Being alone, I opted to head up he stairs to the sit down dining area where it is a bit quieter and there is sit down service. There is a small bar up there also and it is an open floor plan so the conversational noise from downstairs easily filters up meaning it is not quiet anywhere in the place. Then again, I don't think the pub concept is really about having a quiet night out. There are several standard pub fare offerings in he menu including some pies and mash along with fish and chips, but this place seems to pride itself on being a sausage and chop specialist as well as a cask ale spot. The food was good, prices. It out of control and the beer was fresh. Most of all it is steps away from my hotel and there are a lot of locals in the place after work. Hard to argue that this is a nice spot. read more

Very average pub as the ratings suggests. The pies were pretty bad. Dry crust was like eating cardboard. Fish and chips were slightly better. You could find better just down the road read more

We happened upon the feathers while on vacation with our teens. The food was good, fast, and affordable. The drinks were good with some variety.. The service was exceptional. They handled a food allergy with great care and respect. The atmosphere was just what we needed. We sat in a sunny corner of a cool little pub with few tourists (other than us). I would definitely be back if we had time. read more

This one of those hidden little pubs in the center of London that you only get into by accident - or if you work nearby, but it is a wonderful spot. Nestled under New Scotland Yard, and across the road from the St James Park Tube station, it is the bar where the rest of my life began. It started at about 5.30pm on a Monday evening, it was the 20th of September, and it was pissing down with rain outside, and the left knee of my suit was soaking wet. I had just asked The Honey to marry me and she said yes. About four months previously we had been in Amsterdam for the weekend, and I had almost asked her then, but I bottled it. I just got too hesitant, somehow the timing wasn't right, and I had been ruminating on it ever since. I remember that day at the office very well. It had been a slow day -there was a proposal we were working on and we were waiting for feedback from legal before we could do anything. I was sitting in my cubicle thinking and I suddenly thought, with absolute clarity. Yes . I am going to do it. I am going to propose. And I am going to do it today. And the funny thing is, looking back on it now, as clear as I was on what I was going to do, I was more nervous than anything. Not necessarily nervous about what she would say - but nervous because I realised, for the first time in my life, I was making a decison that would last 30 or 40 years....I had drifted into university, drifted into a job, about the only thing I had worked hard on and focused on and made happen was getting into this relationship.....But having said all that.....this was the mother of all decisions and nothing I had ever done would transform my life the way this decision had the potential to. I know that now - and I even knew it then - and that is why I was nervous. OK genius - where are you gonna ask her? Eros' fountain? are you kidding me - that's a bloody cliche. Wait a minute, we met for the first time at St James's Gate tube station. We will go back to the very spot we first met and I will ask her there. I call her. She has had an bad day. "How about I come over to your office and then we grab a drink before going back to the flat?" I tube it over to her office, then we jump in a taxi. "Victoria Station" she says, thinking we would get a beer near there and then train it back to Clapham. " No cabbie," I said, " take us to New Scotland Yard" "New Scotland Yard?" she says " what the heck is there and why are we going there?" I didn't want to say St James' Gate Tube station as that might have tipped her off, plus who takes a taxi to a tube station from another tube station. Never mind I said - let's go..... We get out of the taxi, right outside the tube station. It is pissing down with rain. She is not happy at all. I pay the taxi and he drives off. Before she can get any madder I pop the question. "Are you hecking kidding me ?" she says "Is that a yes or a no?" I reply "Yes, Yes, Yes," she says We kiss and embrace in the rain. We look across the street - Thank God - there is a pub there - it's called The Feathers. We walk across street, into the bar and into the future. read more

My husband and I came here a few times during our visit to London, since it was very conveniently located between the underground station and our hotel. It is a cozy pub with a good beer selection, a few nice wines, and some cocktails. We never ate but the food we saw looked tasty. The service was awesome, and when I jokingly threatened to kidnap the life sized cutout of prince Harry and duchess Meghan for my sister back home, the bartender very sweetly offered the tiny version of the same cutout to bring home. We watched the FA Cup Final match here as well, and it was very festive. Overall, the Feathers is a nice, clean pub not far from Parliament and not packed with tourists. read more

A friend and I went for a brisk winter's walk in St James' Park yesterday, but after meeting at St James' tube I was desperate for the loo (I know, I know - TOO much information, but it'll explain in a minute why we ended up in The Feathers!) and so instead of sticking to our original plan of heading over to the park for a couple of laps of the lake and then into Inn the Park for a bite to eat, we found The Feather's and headed in there to order a drink so I could use their conveniences! While my pal was at the bar she was rather taken by their winter warmers menu and the offer of two lunchtime meals for a tenner, so when I headed back upstairs from the ladies, we decided we'd took into some hot food there to give us some energy before tackling our walk! The Feather's, as the previous reviewer says is very close to Scotland Yard and seemed to attract many people suited and booted having a working lunch, but pretty relaxed and friendly all the same. We ordered the fish & chips and veggie burger and both were good. The cod was cooked in beer batter and the veggie burger (although fried) was tasty and flavorsome! There were quite a lot of staff for a Thurs lunchtime and a few did look bored, but the girls who served us both at the bar and at our table were friendly. Not somewhere to write home about, but fine for a quick pint / glass of wine and quick lunch in traditional pub surroundings. read more

If you have 3 hours for lunch and don't mind cold food this place is great. Cool atmosphere with great pie menu. On the surface looks like a cool place to hang out and grab a pint and Shepard's Pie. Service was super slow and my pie was cold. Other than the food and the service this place is 5 stars. read more

This pub is kinda a so so one for me. We went for a Christmas lunch earlier and it was just ok. We had made a reservation so got a decent sized table, but despite it being quite empty, it took a 30/40 mins for the food to come and they had ran out of all meat except chicken, which for me wasn't a big deal, but was a bit disappointing for my friends. Price wise it was between £9-£14 for a main course, which for a pub I think is a little steep. Wine was standard price for central London, £5 ish pound for a 175ml. Food wise, I got sea bass and it was just ok. Not bad, but not a stand out dish to make me run back. The gin and tonic sauce didn't work at all.. Interesting on paper, but didn't live up to its promise. I've been before for drinks in the bar downstairs and had a good time, so I'd probably say if you're coming, just come for drinks. read more

Popped into the feathers for a few drinks after going to a Commendation ceremony at New Scotland Yard. It had a great atmosphere. It was very busy, but the bar staff were quick and attentive. They had a large selecvtion of beers, which was good. Only complaint from one of the females in the group, was that they only sold Prosecco by the vbottle and not the glass. It's a large pub with an onld traditional feel to it, with nice high ceilings. I would definately go back!! read more

Excellent! Thank you so much for serving us. Just before closing the bartender told us that they were closing soon and they would be happy to serve us. Great move! We ordered great pub food. The beef pie was really good and the fish and chips were exactly what i wanted! We threw in a sticky toffee pudding to perfect our meal. It did not disappoint! Love the atmosphere and the friendly service. Great place! read more

Really solid pub with a good selection of cask ales and surprisingly good food combined with a friendly attentive staff. Only wish they would turn the music down a bit and or mix up some Jazz and big band in with the pop crap, I can recommend the Fish and Chips, firm nice batter and flakey, as well as the Mixed Grill, MR equals pink not red, nice charred sausage, a price of chicken and grilled piece of ham for under £14! Prices for Westminster were very good. read more
