Reviews
"Have had a few great meals in this classic English pub. Interior creates an old world feel and it has lots of British charm and decor. Last time I visited after a theatre show for drinks, the main bar was haunted by a strange smell, service was not great and when we sat outside to enjoy our beverages, we were moved on at midnight."
"Can't comment on food because I didn't eat there, but the meals coming out looked good. Could do with some more English tap/pump beer rather than the less than desirable line up on offer. Couldn't find any London Pride, despite it being advertised all over the front. The Old speckled hen I really came for went down a treat. Albeit after the inattentive bartender finally remembered he had started pouring it and stopped his conversation with his mate behind the bar and leaning arms folded when he noticed me glaring at him. Let's just say it was well and truly settled by the time he topped it off and ran it over. To his credit he was apologetic, but C'mon dude, it wasn't busy and it was well before the lunch crowd had arrived, so the experience just made the visit jarring. Memorably the place has a real funky smell, which is slightly off putting, but I suppose it adds to the old English pub vibe. The place looks great. It has been very well done inside and really does a good job of creating a sense of being in another era. Hopefully this never changes, as I feel this is all of the places appeal. So long as they keep the speckled hen on tap, I'll be back, and be sure to have a meal."
"The place has a heritage vibe with heavy wooden staircases, furniture, paintings, armoury and is very cosy inside. Salads and chips are very fresh, margarita vegan pizza was good but not for it's cost. There's a nice seating area in the first floor but for some reason each time I have visited for lunch, one has to collect food after the pager buzzes from the ground level. This is despite a food-elevator in the first floor bar. All in all, it's one of popular Bourke Street restaurant - bar and for a reason."
