Cy SaitoJanuary 19, 2017Cozy and romantic also to have lunch or dinner upstairs! But you should reserve a table! I love the Sunday roast! So tasty and pretty good presentation!
Paul Anderson-FosterDecember 18, 2018Great cozy vibe, hidden from the massed hordes but only just behind Holborn Station. Great food, gin and restaurant upstairs. Conveniently close to a great vodka bar, but that’s another story
- Kinofdc WilderNovember 9, 2018Cuisine quite similar to the Holborn DR at our hotel next door. But more traditional, and it's a nice break after having meals for several consecutive days at the Holborn DR & the Mirror Room.
Stephanie AuApril 13, 2016Just brought my friends for traditional fish and chips, meat pies and sausages & mashes. Up to standard and in large portion! We couldn't even finish them all.
Fredrik StenbeckOctober 12, 2017Well hidden gem. If you find it, you will love it. Classic bar downstairs, classy restaurant upstairs. Great food and service.
Ierax HolargeusJanuary 20, 2022Don’t let the location discourage you from visiting. This is an excellent tavern. Great time-travelling interior decoration. Try the lamb chops and fish & chips. Good burger too.- Nasko TsvetkovDecember 1, 2018Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant area, so nice that we spent 4 hours without even noticing how time flies. Delicious Sunday roast and friendly staff
PhotiniAugust 16, 2014Nice decor! Good beers and pub food. Try their pies. Their restaurant is upstairs so their food is quite good- Hidden little pub just behind Holborn station. Great food (you probably need to book in advance) and very interesting Gin collection!
Matthias BauwAugust 17, 2015A very comfy and relaxing atmosphere. We had sausages with mash and gravy and they were very good. We will probably come back here
Scott G.August 20, 2013Mammoth-sized fish and chips or sticky ribs are well worth a try. Get a pint of 1549 to go with them - its a very tasty house brew.
RamonFebruary 11, 2017Delicious slow roast beef!! Staff were very nice, but food delivery took an hour, so a bit slow for a normal business lunch. So, great if you got time 😉
Andrew TalagaNovember 13, 2023Excellent sourdough pizza. Good selection of both ales and gin. A proper pub atmosphere - will definitely return
Hidden gem just of Kingsway/Holborn. Changing local beer taps and a charming old history. Drink up...
Aja BrandmanOctober 16, 2019Food was good, but definitely a bit pricey if you’re just going for a quick lunch. The garlic mushroom on ciabatta starter was tasty, but a bit heavy on the cream.
- Luis QuintJuly 13, 2017Good pub fare. Large portions. Nice decor, especially upstairs if grabbing dinner. Friendly and attentive staff.
Richard CarterDecember 8, 2014Great little pub. Seats full up quickly but one of the best kept beers I've drunk in London!
Cristian ZaineaSeptember 27, 2019Great food and excellent service. I recommend the sausages with smashed potatoes.😉✌
- A McQMay 29, 2014Cracking pub that you could easily miss. Great real ale selection and delicious pork pies!
Elias GerstmayrJanuary 31, 2017Authentic traditional pub with great selection of gins and lovely restaurant area upstairs.
James BrewerApril 16, 2013Nice little tavern downstairs great food upstairs. Hidden away bit worth finding!
eric mortensenAugust 5, 2019Accommodating service and a great pint of Old Peculiar in the midst of Monday.
Darija PuzånovaMay 30, 2019There was a very rude lady at the bar: no smile, rude answers, couldn’t advise us on anything from the menu; we had to leave :/ It’s good for the locals, but stuff don’t give a damn about tourists :/
Brian StraussSeptember 15, 2017A lively spot to get a pint. The food served upstairs is decent if not particularly noteworthy.
- RealPubGuideSeptember 17, 2011The "seven deadly gins" challenge is definitely one to try. Only one person has tried it apparently.
Always have a great time in the ship. Feel like one of the ship mates
You are just a child compared to this place. Live young!
