We had our team's Christmas party here and it was a great time. Not only did they make sure each of us get what we have ordered, they go extra way and decorated our table even when we have made the booking very last minute. They have a basement where they have someone over for live keyboard music and d we get to sing Christmas song together. It was very wholesome and we were left happy and full.

From food, service, ambiance, to staff, we truly enjoyed our experience at The Mitre. It was our son's sixth birthday, we were traveling in London from the states. It was the holidays right before Christmas, and the staff made our dinner absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond for our son, and found a special teddy bear candle from the Christmas display just to use for him to blow out after we sung him happy birthday. The food was great. Service was quick/efficient and they went above and beyond for us tourists. Thank you! Highly recommend for anyone traveling in the area.

I am staying close by for a couple days and unfortunately my gf can't meet me due to COVID!!!! I can't stand my own company for one more day so decided to go out to a pub and have a drink and dinner at the Swan .3 mile from where I am.... What a disappointment!! Walked out then literally stumbled in here.... So much more ambiance and Liz and Dave are absolutely stupendous with their excellent customer service..... I'm American so I know they don't rely on tips for good service. What a lovely surprise to my sad day. Thank you guys. I wish we had a Young's pub in Plymouth my home town... I see they have our Plymouth Gin. Cheers and I recommend to any single lonely tourists.

Our favorite pub, just a few blocks from our hotel on the way to Hyde Park. Since it is off the main road, it had more of a local feel. The service was never perfect, but the food was fine and the location was charming. While outdoor seating was limited, folks were always spilling out the door in the evening onto the mews. We had their steak sandwich, potato leek soup, salad and cider. I always bypass beer for cider and they had two types on tap.

Excellent atmosphere, AMAZING food, and lovely staff. Quiet location and a great place for our first meal in the UK

Our night started with a very warm welcome from Christos (Chris the Greek). We were given a very nice corner table away from the noisy bar along with a glass of wine. Perfect example of Philoxenia. (Greek hospitality) Our server was very sweet. We ordered the fish n chips. Fish was so delicious, fresh and flaky. The chips and dipping sauce were on point. Burger was cooked perfectly and garnished well. Toffee pudding was delicious in a warm caramel sauce. Hazelnut moose was a small but scrumptious treat. Thank you for the great experience on our first night in London. Happy Holidays to the entire team at The Mitre.

This is a nice Young's pub a few minutes' walk from Paddington station, with an attractive and noteworthy Grade-II listed Victorian interior. It's not the most atmospheric venue Paddington is too much of a crossroads for that but is a good find in an area with relatively few interesting pubs from which to choose. The interor is richly decorated with dark wood panelling, etched glass screens and attractive floor mosaics. The ground floor has a large bar area wrapped around the single bar, with a mixture of standing room, bar stools, tables and sofas. Upstairs are two dining rooms, decorated in the best Victorian parlour tradition, with yellow flock paper, mirrors and pictures. The upstairs rooms can be hired for meetings and dining. They serve the full range of Young's ales, plus a guest beer, which all seem well kept. The food menu is extensive, with starters around the £4.50-5.50 mark, and mains around £9 (steak is £14). We had fishcakes, which came with rocket salad and chips, and roasted vegetable and potato dauphinoise, with goats cheese and salad both were substantial and enjoyable, although a friend's steak was less successful (over-done). A pud of treacle tart with ice cream (£4.95) was very nice, but not really needed thanks to the generous mains. Service was pretty good and very friendly throughout. I will be very happy to go back to eat or drink. A plus is that serve food until 22h.

Fresh from a 10 hour flight, we stumbled down the street, not knowing where we were going, but definitely hungry. We wanted the stereotypical pub food, and we randomly found the Mitre and settled in. I loved the old school feel of it, and the fact that all its fireplaces were on, and the place was almost empty. We were told to sit anywhere, but to go ahead and sit by the fireplace and get warm. We were not told, however, that you had to order at the bar, so we browsed through the menu for a loooong time, while no one came. Finally, we saw that you had to order at the bar, as well as pay right after ordering...silly tourists. My friend and I both ordered the bangers and mash...they were delicious. The tables were a bit too small for dining, but the fireplace, the actual pub, and the food made for a good dinner. The barmen was also very nice, so I would definitely recommend this place.

Beef entree. Halloumi salad and artisanal bread with olive oil and vinegar.

My partner and I dined here for dinner while on vacation in London. Our local tour guide recommended this place. Pros- beautiful Victorian interior and exterior. Really nice pub ambiance. Good menu selections for both food and beverages. Options for meat eaters and vegetarians. Cons- we dined on a Sunday evening and service was rather slow. The place was half empty so we had hoped for a speedy dinner to return to the hotel and overcome jet lag. Staff were pleasant but overwhelmed. Food was a just ok. My partner had a complete entree with beef and sides . I was not very hungry so I ordered the halloumi salad with greens, mango, onions and quinoa. My partner said the beef entree was decent but nothing really special. My salad was missing the mango. I would have appreciated it if they would have informed me in advance that they were out of mango as I would have ordered something else. The halloumi cheese on my salad was VERY dried out and almost tough as leather , like it had been left out on the counter and all moisture had evaporated. I ate it because I was tired but had I felt better I may have sent it back to the kitchen . We would try this place again and hope for a better result. Ok to eat if you are nearby but not a destination restaurant . Prices are just ok for the food.

The Mitre is more of a restaurant than a pub, truth be told. At how many pubs would the "Manager" come over and make me vacate a table because it was "previously reserved?" Whatever, buddy... But once my friend and I did get seated, we had a decent enough time here, but only because we made friends with our server. She was very friendly, gave us a list of off-the-beaten-path things to do during our time in London, and even posed for a picture with me. But don't look for her there, because she said she was quitting. Sucks for you. I had fish and chips here, which of course is an English staple. I must say that it was pretty delicious, but it's hard to mess up something that is deep fried. The "chips" were really more like French fries too, which was a bit disappointing. A little on the higher end than most of the other places nearby, The Mitre, at least in my opinion, was trying a bit too hard. The charm of pubs comes from the relaxed feel and the communal atmosphere. Neither of those was on tap.

We were staying at the Corus Hotel, which is right down the street from The Mitre, and we only discovered it on our last day in London! Too bad because it seemed like we were always searching for food, and The Mitre was quite good! My friend got the steak and ale pie and I got fish and chips, and we both enjoyed our meals. The price was pretty good too. We also ordered a pitcher of Pimm's lemonade, which was our favorite drink in London. But be careful - it's one of those things that tastes like juice, then hits you before you realize it! If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely go back to The Mitre.

I went here last night for a group dinner. We book the private dinning room upstairs. The night started off good. The bar staff were friendly and the atmosphere in the main bar relaxed and casual. The dining room was old fashion and full of character. We had pre ordered our food but when we arrived one of our starters had run out. This meant that our dinner that was supposed to start at 7:30 started 1 hour later. The food was mediocre at best. I had a hamburger with unimpressive fries. The chocolate brownie was dry and the first brownie I've never eaten completely. I don't think I'll come here again.

Arun D.

Love the interior of the bar - it's cosy and there is the space by the bar to socialize but little nooks for a more relaxed meal. Their drinks menu is wide and they have pretty standard fare for their food. What I really enjoyed was their salad which was refreshing but filled me up well. The only reason they don't get a 5-star review from me is that their service was a little messy. We waited for quite a while and ended up going to the bar and ordering because a waiter never came to see us. We did the same to pay because we waited for so long. It's a lovely place and there were tonnes of big tables if you want to go in a group.

Discovered this place last September on our first visit to London and it was love at first sight. Good selection of British ales and other beers the owners have restaurants both upstairs and downstairs that have great menus, and the benefit is that the food in the pub is far better than the average pub food. You order beer and food at the bar, so no one comes to your table to take your order. At the same time, the food was brought to our table quickly and the wait staff were attentive and responsive. If I lived in this part of London, this would be my local pub. read more

This bar/pub/restaurant was close to our hotel so we decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. We were delightfully surprised by the food (though we would agree it's expensive). I had the steak and ale pie and my husband at the venison hot pot. Both were very flavorful and really hit the spot on a cold rainy day. The venison meat was very tender and the sauce it came with was rich and tasty. The steak and ale pie came with mash and veggies and I almost didn't save room for the actual pie since the sides were super tasty. The free wi-fi was also a treat since our hotel tried to charge us a ridiculous amount for daily Internet access. Eating area was also homey - nice fire place and some nooks that you can hide with your pints and chatter away with your friends. I can't say that the staff people were the nicest in the world (fyi 'hot pot' is basically slow cooked, but don't ask them to explain that), but if I had to work in a touristy area I could maybe understand their attitudes. Since you can pay for the food and drink ahead of time, your interaction is limited anyway, so we weren't expecting much in terms of schmoozing from the bar keeps. So if you are looking for a onetime English pub experience, I would definitely recommend! Better than the chain of pubs that LOOK like English pubs but aren't. read more

On a recent holiday in London we stayed in the Lancaster Gate neighborhood. On our initial walk to our hotel from Paddington Station, we passed The Mitre and said "hey, maybe that will be our local". Little did we know that we would spend about 5 or 6 evenings hanging out in that pub. It's a great, cozy pub with friendly staff, warm ambiance and plenty of interesting nooks and crannies to sit in. Finally on our last evening there, we ate dinner at the pub and we quite enjoyed the food too. The pub offers a free wireless internet connection (always a nice bonus) and Young's beers. If you're in the neighborhood, this place is totally work checking out. read more

Beautiful pub with authentic feel. Interestingly they did not have a full kitchen at lunchtime, only an outdoor barbecue and the utensils was single use wooden ones. At any rate, the chicken burger I had was delicious, the draft beer selection was excellent (I went with Beavertown Neck Oil session IPA).

Soup of the (yester) Day? My wife and I (locals, not tourists) stopped in for dinner because I felt like a roast dinner. We were also there last night and my wife, being pregnant, has a limited palette, so she ordered the soup of the day - for the second night in a row. Last night it was great! Tonight, it was a sour version (creamed vegetable). It'd gone off and as soon as we got home my wife was promptly sick. The waitress said "well it usually lasts two nights!".

When you find yourself in Paddington trying to while away an hour or so before your train leaves, head out of the station and over to The Mitre. It's close enough to the station that you can leave all the noise behind and actually enjoy your pint. If you're staying in Paddington this pub is quite friendly too, as there are often other travellers looking for someone to talk to sitting at the bar. As a bonus, they have 4 cask ales to choose from and a gas fireplace for atmosphere. It fills up after work, so head in early to get a table. Dinner portions are large and it's one of the better places for English food in the area, with a nice pubby atmosphere. read more

A lovely pub that's full of character. A few different beers on (possibly not the best pub in the local area if you are a fan of ale - head for the Leinster Arms instead!) however the interior of the pub is absolutely brilliantly styled - lots of interesting things to chat about over your pint, spirit or glass of wine. Service was good - we came with a group and they were more than happy to help with a tab for us all to organise payment a bit better! Drinks selection was good. But the main thing is the decor. Lovely lovely interior - I can imagine this pub is wonderful and homely and warming of a winter's eve! read more

We came here several times for both drinks and dinner during a recent London stay. We were staying at a hotel on Lancaster Gate, which is just around the corner. The drinks and food were good and the atmosphere and building were gorgeous (if you're a fan of Victorian architecture, you'll swoon over the fabulous tile, anaglypta, woodwork, etc. etc. etc.) The customers seemed to be almost exclusively local, which we appreciated even though we ourselves were tourists!

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.

Some sort of meat (beef/pork/lamp/chicken/vegetarian option, plus roasted potatoes, veggies, gravy, and Yorkshire pudding (a sort of conical croissant?))). My SO had the Sunday roast customized for her in her inimitable way, but was still not pleased. I ordered off the regular menu, and loved it, so 5 stars! She can set up her own Yelp account if she wants to argue. The service was friendly and helpful (although once the food was served, we didn't see them again. This is kind of normal for UK pubs? I feel like the booze options on Yelp need updating: beer, wine, straight liquor and gin & tonics. Maybe call it Uk pub full bar? No martinis or Moscow mules here.) Our server (south Asian dude, helpful, accommodating, and friendly) was awesome, but so were the other staff (2 nice young ladies of different ethnic ancestry), so basically across the board great service. Weather was great, so we enjoyed people watching from our outdoor seats (Daunt book totes are definitely a thing here. Even when the bookshop in question is closed)

Hands down the best chips of the trip - even after visiting the top rated fish and chips places in the city. They stayed crispy and were great with the peppercorn sauce, which there was plenty of. Loved the steak too - cooked perfectly. Rhubarb and apple crumble with custard was simply amazing. Add in the super friendly staff and the cool building and rooms - a definite 5 star London experience. Thanks!
