We…read morehad so much fun at the Evans & Peel Detective Agency from the minute we rang the bell to the photos taken at the end as we left. We found this speakeasy on Yelp and didn't have reservations but got in anyways. The entry door is very subtle and once inside you need to plead your case to gain entry. Your case would be a mystery you are working to solve. We had a lot of fun with this part and our improv skills were put to the test. After being allowed through the secret entrance, you enter a 1930's prohibition style well decorated bar. All the staff are dressed the part and act the part. The drinks are in a casebook style booklet and have handwritten descriptions of the choices. We each had a couple of the drinks and really enjoyed them. The staff even comes around and mingles with you if you want. Most of the talk is the acting about your case or the general conversations of the Prohibition era. We really had fun here and were laughing a lot and found the experience very stimulating. I highly recommend going here when in London. It is a super fun experience.

Quirky and fun and the cocktails were excellent. Great staff. I recommend making a reservation.read more

It was a little rare for my liking but I still ate a third of it (typical I rarely eat a whole burger). When we went to pay our bill they had removed the burger because they saw I didn't eat it all. I didn't ask and honestly wanted to pay for it but they wouldn't let me. This is going above and beyond and if we have time on this trip, we'll be back! FYI my husband had the sausage and mash and said it was fantastic - the pork crackling being his favorite thing on the plate.

Fortunately, the place wasn't crowded, and we were promptly seated. The staff was attentive, offering us a couple of beer samples before making our choices. They recommended the Sunday special, the roast, which we all decided to try. My son opted for the sirloin roast, my wife chose the pork, and I went with the chicken. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. The roast alone makes it worth returning. Overall, it was a great experience.

Same oil as fish and chips I guess. Got the steak and ale pie. Pretty good, standard pie, a bit heavy on the crust. Asked the bar maid about garden peas or mushy, got a blank stare. Don't think it mattered because garden peas and mashed potatoes that came with it were both pretty bland. Service wise nobody gave a crap whether I was there or not. Going to finish dinner and head a block over to Elephant and Castle or Churchill Arms for nightcap. Cheers!

As far as the aesthetic and vibes, it definitely met expectations! It's been around since the 1800's and has a beautiful bar (see photo). The food and drink options are classic English staples- we all ordered fish n chips and sticky toffee pudding. I'm no English-food expert, but I can say both dishes were pretty mid. The fish was huge, but not crispy... chips were perfectly fried- peas were, well, peas (lol)! But the service was friendly and the whole experience was a good one! Would I come back? Probably not- but I'm still happy that this was my first English pub/food experience in London!
