Food/Drink: we got the house cider and it was a little watered down. Can't speak for other drinks. Price: €4 for a pint of cider with 10% off applied to hostel guests. Atmosphere: It's more lively on the afternoon than late into the evening. A casual place to sit down with a group of friends and has typical decor of a pub. There's more mingling than watching sports on TV. Tips: This is also a hostel and the service is very good! It's also convenient, right next to Waterloo station and a short walk to Big Ben and London Eye! read more

Great place, reasonable priced food and friendly staff. Very accommodating Our friend had allergies and the staff made her experience memorable read more

Very good English pub food!! I had the fish and chips (for the primary reason that I'm visiting London and had to, otherwise I don't care for fish and chips) and it was wonderful! Fish was cooked perfectly and flaky inside. Outside was coated nicely and not over fried but still crunchy. My husband had the steak and ale pie and loved it. We were pleasantly happy after not knowing what to expect. If you are staying at the Walrus hostel you also get 15% off your bill! Prices are standard and with the discount even better! read more

Good fish and chips, cold beer and a low light ambiance (which is hard to find at pubs in London). Good for families and kids.

Great environment and staff! Bartended super friendly and gave us tips since we were not from England. And of course, the beer was good! Would definitely recommend. read more

This was the first stop we made for dinner while in London. It was just okay and I think that's how the 4 of us felt. When ordering here you have to go to the bar to place any order. I had water and a Cobb Salad. Great presentation but okay taste. read more

The Horse and Stables seems like a great pub to visit for a few drinks when you're in Lambeth North. It's very close to the station and has plenty of room inside to sit and have food and drinks. There's a pretty good selection of drinks, both beers and cocktails so no matter what you like you can find something good. The other interesting fact about this pub is that it has regular comedy shows upstairs so it is known in the comedy circles. There's a small stage and the upstairs room is a bit small, which creates a very nice intimate atmosphere. I'd recommend checking out the comedy as it's a way to discover new talent and sometimes you can also take part in the improv comedy jams and see what it's like being on stage. I may not go out of my way to go there for drinks, but if I'm in the area again I'll definitely stop by for a pint. read more

This is a double edged review, because I've been here multiple times for the comedy night on Sundays and loved the comedy each Sunday. They'll frequently have international guests coming in to do some improv, and each of those nights is fantastic. In fact, that's the only reason this is 3 stars! Just rating the pub it's pretty mediocre. Decent selection of beers, if a bit expensive, and a decent range of burgers, if a bit flavorless. If quantity were quality, then this would be a 4 star-er. If there were no comedy, this would be 1 star. Anywho, if you're in the area firstly, I'm sorry to hear that. Secondly, I'd look around to see if there's a better pub nearby (I have high hopes for the Burger Craft pub across from the imperial war museum). But if you're here for an event then it's not too shabby. read more

The Perfect Venue for a Party. Celebrating a good friends *cough* 40th *cough, we all rocked up in 80s fancy dress. With 5 George Micheal's and two Adam ants, I'm not sure how the bar staff coped with our atrocious costume and our excessive drinking habits, but they took it all in their stride and were polite and efficient throughout the night. (At least I always had a drink in my hand from what I recall). We had the whole pub to ourselves, which for a venue sooo central on a Saturday night is a treat to say the least. The place itself was perfect for us. Lots of space to dance, booths and cubbies, psychedelic wall paper in the ladies and a little stage all set up for DJ and speeches. There's some really reasonably priced Thia food on the menu, which smelled divine. I'm afraid after a few pints of fosters and a margarita, I was a bit of a heathen and just ordered chips. They did the trick. A good selection behind the bar and a good offering of cocktails all around £6.95 which you can't sniff at in a venue 8 mins walk from Waterloo. Look out for their shooters offer, namely a Pussy Hunter comprising of madori and.... something else, which at two for £5 was a bargain. Altogether a good night had by all, and will definatly be returning for a bit of a boogie and some naughty shooters. read more

This place was awesome!! Great service and patience with us Americans from Daniella!!! Awesome service! The steak ale pie was phenomenal and is highly recommended. Absolutely incredible food and a pint with that of course! A matter of note, ran into a lady (not a 20 something) staying at the hostel upstairs on a recommendation from her daughter. She said it was also awesome with individual shower and lots a perks from the restaurant when staying...she was really happy there..what a great place to help visit London on a budget! read more

First time in this place... It has very good pub food... Note though, they prefer that you pay with a credit card and not in cash...

We just popped in here looking for a place open on Sunday. I got the Steak & Ale pie and my husband got the herb chicken. Both were excellent and the service was prompt. Glad we stumbled upon this gem. read more

First pub we visited after arriving at Waterpool Station. The bangers and mash were alright but we ran out of there when a rat scurried past our feet! Nice staff. read more

That's a huge bitch! ahem...lots of space in this place. Interesting decor. I was on my way to something else and just needed a place for my friend to nosh before going home on the tube. Mainly Thai food on the menu with a small splattering of british pub food. DO NOT eat the fish n chips. Nasteh... But I saw lots of people ordering the thai and it was looking good at least on the way to the tables. Could see myself here on a Friday night after work...if I worked in the area :P read more

Looks better inside than outside. It's actually quite a nice pub inside, one that serves a good selection of drinks, including a guest ale. It was called Golden Hare and unfortunately it was nothing special..but credit for having a guest ale. In fact after the head settled the barmaid actually tried to create a new guest ale by topping it up with some Deuchars, which I went for a full pint of nextgood stuff. Enjoyed some nice chips too to stave off the hunger. They weren't skinny fries, wedges or big fat chips. I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that this pub has created a new species of chip, but it wasn't one I had come across before and I would definitely recommend them. The venue obviously caters for groups as upstairs a group was either drinking or dining dressed as superheroes. This was cause for some amusement and after seeing the girl who was dressed as Robin I can now better understand the rumours about him and Batman. Tries to market itself as being in the Waterloo area, but is actually right near Lambeth North station read more

This is for the Hostel, not the pub. Very nice people who run it. How ever extremely loud, inside & out. Street noise ALL night long. They even provide ear plugs! The people in the room next to us were in & out all night slamming doors. The wi-fi upstairs in room was horrible to say the least. You might be lucky enough to catch it for a few minutes. Great location to underground. Would I stay again, no. read more

We love the Horse and Stables! Great specials and delicious food as well as an awesome beer selection. This place also doubles as a hostel... good to note. Any time we're in London we'll be stopping by the Horse & Stables for sure! Try the Mac & cheese or the Chipotle burger if you're an American missing home ;) read more

The Horse and Stables - Mac & cheese. So cheesy. So good! - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

This is a typically englisch pub with a entertainment room upstairs where comedy nights are held! The room is no that big so it always feels nice and cosy. My friends and I stayed here for the weekend during our trip throughout the UK. We were welcomed and they give everyone who stays here a 15% discount on food & drinks. I can recommend the bangers & mash to everyone! Prices are also reasonable for being in the city center of London! read more

Fantastic Bartenders! Great recommended drinks and just a real cool vibe! May not look like much, but it is worth it to stop in!

The homemade chicken nuggets are to die for. If you are in the area you should check this place out. My boyfriend had the lamb cutlets which he enjoyed. read more

I've eaten here many times for a bite at lunchtime. Good service and quick too. Recently renovated and includes a new Thai/Chinese menu which is really reasonable at £5 although a strange choice considering there are a million Thai restaurants in the area and a lack of good pub grub. There is a really good range of choices on the menu and the curries, salads, wraps etc are all good. The good news is that the Horse Burger is still on the menu and is definately one to try. Its a really big, juicy, tasty burger with chunky fries tastes even better when you wash it down with a large glass of vino! read more

My wife and I hit up The Horse and Stables after a long day sightseeing. It was pretty noisy (I had to shout at my wife), but to be fair, it was 9:00 on a Friday night. My wife's hamburger was undercooked; however, they quickly made her a new one and rectified the situation. My bangers and mash were quite good as well. Overall, a solid choice for dinner. read more

Good food, nice beers and comfortable beds. When I arrived there was live music in the pub and it was quite busy. I had a long day of traveling. So I was pretty tired. Despite the amount of people at the bar, one of the bar crew immediately checked me in and showed me my room. The rooms are very clean and the beds are good. Breakfast is basic but still what u expect of a good hostel. Nice place to stay, in the hostel or just to have a drink or have diner. Very friendly crew which are always happy to help. read more

Ate here because we wanted to try a local English pub, and that exactly what we got. Order at the bar fish and chips where 4/5 but the meat pie was a 6/5. Would definitely pay it a visit as it is better than any tourist trap restaurant nearby. Service was quick to, does seem popular as the crowd grew over time and is pet friendly. read more

This pub is decent. The drinks and food are okay. I ordered drinks and a few appetizers- all of which were pretty bland and flavorless. It has a very casual/ laid back vibe. Our waiter and bartenders were very friendly. read more

Just an average place as far as the food goes. If u are staying nearby or it's raining, it will do.

On a family vacation in London. The rest of the family stayed back at the hotel not interested in fish and chips. Headed out on my own to this pub. The food was excellent. The bartender was very pleasant and kept me company throughout the meal and several local beers. read more

New to the neighborhood and waiting for a friend so suggested we meet here as it's close by. Not much to look at from the street, as of yet (Oct09) but step inside and you're in a nice room. Very good list of wines on offer at good prices. Nice service, friendly and quick. Glad I found it, now it's my local. Enjoy! read more

The food is pretty nice and the staff is friendly. The main issue is that is often very crowded and a bit too noisy. read more

I really liked this place. Spent 6 hours there, watching the Euros. Excellent array of drinks and food is relatively cheap. It got quiet quickly, which was a shame. Nice place to spend an afternoon or evening. There is a hostel upstairs. read more

Awesome British Pub in Southwark! Situated right next to our hotel we stayed in, decided to check it out. The staff were really friendly, great beer, great burger, and great pub atmosphere. Could not ask for anything more! read more

Fun crowd, great location, and surprisingly good pub food considering the place is also a hostel! The bangers and mash had a lot of flavor, though I like a bit more salt (which was easily added at the table). Liked the cask ales too, the Best Bitter was spot on. read more

Fish and Chips were way better here then on the other side of the bridge and cheaper. Mac and Cheese was good too! Great beer and wine selection. read more

Service was not good. The food was about the same. Had tourists and locals. Seemed like the night crew was much nicer

Just there at Lambeth North station and the hotel I was staying, Park Plaza. Good selection of beers and spacious seating.

We are in town for a few days and decided to check this place out based on the reviews we read on here. There was a band playing which created a nice atmosphere, but after we found a table and sat down it became apparent that this was a place for locals only. After about five minutes the waitress got us a menu and a list of the specials, and that was the last time she came to our table. Fifteen minutes later, we left. read more

YES. Go here. Run by hipsters and artsy folk, this place has a great vibe and delicious food for a beautiful summers afternoon. I met friends here for lunch on a Sunday and they had picnic table type seating (or tables as well) and a good menu w a few good quality options. My friends and I all got the roasted chicken plate and it was the best thing I've ever had. As an American the food was a bit pricy, but it sure was delicious. Alcohol selection was good too. Location is great right by the park read more

Second night in London. It is just across the street from our hotel the Marlin. Obviously it is a local favorite. My wife and I shared the seafood sharer. It came out super fast, and was excellent. Loved the place. read more

This pub was within walking distance to where we were staying. The meat pies and beers were a perfect choice to warm us up from the pouring rain outside. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. James in particular patiently answered all of our questions! Would absolutely go again! read more

Great bar. Always gets busy after work when the weekend is coming up. It's only a short walk away from Waterloo station but I doubt many people have found there way to it from there which is a shame. Its a fairly big bar, with a number of booth seats, and useful for large groups of people who may pop in on friday after escaping the office, a long table at the back. Food is also served, and from memory the price is resonable, and it tastes pretty good too. They have an upstairs with a small bar and sofas dotted around, it never seems to be open though, but I think you can hire it for small parties etc (which is when i've been up there). read more
