If you are an expat, this will be your new comfort food craving after your first visit. Our group ordered three different sandwiches and shared many brunch dishes and they were all amazing. They serve their buttermilk pancakes topped with bacon and a generous helping of syrup on the side. The eggs benny came with fries and was delish as well. All of their amazing sandwiches come with an individual pickle that is made in-house. We shared a Chicken Cobb (Corn fed chicken, smoked bacon, avocado, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomato, red onion, lettuce & mayo on 3 slices of toasted white), The Toronto (Slow roasted topside beef, melted English cheddar, leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled hot peppers, red onion, & horseradish mayo on toasted sourdough), and The Medley (Roasted turkey breast, smoked ham, bacon, melted cheddar & emmental, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickled hot peppers & basil mayo on toasted sourdough). This place is locally owned and the vibe is very laid back. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and this place was packed. They take reservations so you might want to make some (we did). Overall, I will definitely come back.

Like most American ex-pats, I'm amazed at how the country that invented the sandwich can't make a…read moreproper sandwich. There are few things in the world less appetizing to me than two pieces of pre-packaged soggy bread with one slice of ham drowning in a gallon of mayo that's been sitting on the Pret a Manger shelf all day. In America you only see stuff like that at gas stations, and even there they hold the mayo. In England, they put so much mayo on those sandwiches that it actually gets listed as an ingredient. So whereas you'd have a chicken sandwich with mayo in America, in England it becomes a chicken mayo sandwich. That's just wrong. And nasty. Enter Pickle & Rye. If this place were in Soho or South Kensington then there'd be lines out the door. True Mortlake is in London's upscale southwest and thus home to several affluent American ex-pats, but I feel like that this gem of a sandwich place is missing out on a golden opportunity by being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It was a trek to get to even from Fulham, and I've got plenty of friends who think that Fulham is enough of a trek already. Or at least that's their excuse for never coming to visit us. This place would merely have to not completely suck to be one of the best sandwich places in London, but it's really taken the art of the sandwich to another level. The owner / head sandwich dude is a culinary school graduate who roasts all their meats, cures his own corned beef (known around these parts as salt beef), makes his own dill pickles (which are easily the best that I've ever had in England) and Russian dressing, with the result being the finest reuben this side of the Atlantic. I will gladly return to the middle of nowhere for another one.

One of my favorite pub experiences while visiting London…read more The man at the door helped us find a table in a very crowded first floor room. We learned early on in London that pubs have dining rooms upstairs which usually require a reservation and then the bottom floor is for drinks and meals picked up from the bar. This visit was about stopping in for a pint and grabbing a bite to eat. After acquainting ourselves with the bar menu we ordered food at the bar and were served fairly quickly. All three of us enjoyed our meals but what was memorable for me was I had the best fish and chips here. The versions I had afterwards were not as tasty. The first floor was hoping and lively and loud so if you're looking for quiet this isn't it. Was great for people watching and hearing other people's conversations. And man, those fish and chips were good. Wish I could have gone back for seconds.

They were accommodating to a couple changes, we just wanted to try as much as possible. Burger was very flat in flavor and the bun wasn't great at all.

Had all the decor and the low ceilings and it just looks very cool. The food on the other hand, that could use some work. 2/5 Fish sandwich - was ok but not the best. The ratio of protein to bread needs work. 1/5 Buffalo chicken sandwich - served with blue cheese and I love blue cheese but this just didn't taste right. The flavors were all off and the coleslaw was bland. The handful of chips was like a baby's handful! I'd come back for a pint but not for lunch.

We ordered the fish and chips and the staff was really nice and brought us the food to the table and checked on us to see how things were.

They have a nice garden in the back with some seating. I got the chicken chorizo salad and the fish and chips which were good. The brownie and ice cream was yummy too. Who says Britain does not have good food? Service was OK... not too friendly not too curt either. It looks like they have a lot of regular customers and they were having a good time and they forgot about me initially.

We finally got round to giving it a try, and in all honesty I wasn't sure what to expect. The place has mixed reviews, and I had my reservations. I don't think my opinion of a place has changed as quickly as it did here when our starters came out! My doubt turned to joy at the first bite of the hot link sausage, closely followed by an amazing Buffalo wing...I knew we were on to a winner! Mains wise I had spotted one of the best looking ribs I had seen in a long time, so asked the waitress for the same thing. My partner went for a burger and we added chips (with balsamic and mayo)and mac n cheese. The ribs were as stunning as they looked, full of meat, juicy, tasty and all round heaven on a plate. The burger was good, but if you want the best burger in the world go elsewhere. it's the BBQ side of things that make Meat & Shake stand out so I really suggest sticking with that...chicken, ribs, hotdogs etc The chips were amazing, I had never even seen chips with balsamic on before, but after these will be covering them in it in the future! The Mac n cheese was average, nice but in all honesty we didn't' need it...the portions were big and we were pretty stuffed! So food wise this is one of the best meals I have had for the price range it's in, and will 100% be going back. The only thing that really let Meat & Shake down was the service, and it wasn't just us. 3 tables around us were moaning to each other about it as well. The issue wasn't staff themselves, it was clearly there was not enough of them. We waited ages to order, and in the end skipped dessert before I aged another week myself. It's a simple change that would have given this place 5 stars...get some more staff on busy nights, and organise them better! In summary, give this place a visit, and you won't disappointed! Maybe just avoid the hot sauce, as it's lethal!

Thankfully the food was really good. Highly recommend the Hot Links sausage. Most of the bbq sauce stuff is quite fruity which isn't my vibe usually.

I had the beef Sunday roast with all the trimmings. It was a big plate with generous portions. 2 weeks before I ate a Sunday roast in a fancy place in Chelsea. That meal cost twice the Princes head roast. I preferred the Princes head as it t was more flavorful, prepared more expertly, less fussy and homemade tasting. Bambie loved her fish and chips. She said the haddock was the best she had in 3 weeks at several different places. Plentiful selection of whatever adult beverage you may desire. As this is a Fuller's pub, I opted for the cask ale. It was delicious, tasted alive. If you love Ted Lasso a visit here will be a memorable experience. If you're not a Lasso devotee, but are in town with a stomach growling hunger this pub will satisfy.

Not only was the service great and the atmosphere welcoming and very British pub-esque, the food was SO GOOD. I got the gnocchi with blue cheese, onions, and pine nuts, the tomato and onion salad, and a kiwi-lime cider. They have a huge selection of beer and quite a lot of soft-drinks for everyone else.

The waiter was a very nice and attentive Welsh guy who kept us happy and laughing! If only I could remember his name ... : / I ordered the peppercorn steak with chips which is standard but satisfied the stomach at the time.

However, there are times when I want nothing more than to sink my teeth into a tasty burger, and GBK is as good a place as any to satisfy this craving. The food in this GBK is pretty decent. On my most recent visit, I had the small blue cheese burger (the one with sauce) and an order of sweet potato fries. We waited eons for our food to arrive, and I was already reaching the point in my hunger where I was becoming a bit agitated. By the time the food arrived, I was nearly in tears from hunger. Luckily, the burger and sweet potato fries didn't disappoint. My burger was juicy and generously slathered with the blue cheese sauce. The only think I might have changed was foregoing the relish--that stuff doesn't do it for me. The sweet potato fries were all sorts of greasy amazing. Whoever thought of the bacon aioli is genius. Seriously tasty stuff. At first, I was a bit disappointed with the size of the sweet potato fries portion, but by the end, I was filled with greasy goodness. On a side note, once I was at this location and I saw a child put one of the ketchup dispensers in his mouth. Talk about yuck-factor. I'm not sure what happened with that ketchup dispenser after it's adventures in that kid's mouth, but I'm guessing some poor sap shared his germs. If you're hungry for a burger in Richmond, GBK should do the trick, but perhaps avoid the ketchup.
