Top 30 Best Cosy pubs in London

“A wonderful place to eat with lots of space and great vegetarian options. All the staff were so warm and friendly, we stayed all afternoon. Can't wait to return.”

“I have been coming here since 1981 when I was 10 years old. My father took us and his clients here when Valecci opened and me, the same, 25 years later. It was my eldest son’s 21st last night and this is where he wanted to come. 3 generations later and still the same classy experience; The food is exceptional, Enzo and his staff are the best in the business and nothing is too much trouble. If cost is your priority, this is not your kind of restaurant. If first class food served by exceptionally attentive yet subtle waiters in intimate and personal surroundings is what’s required, come here as you’ll never be disappointed.”

“I had one of my favourite food and the service was very good restaurant was nice and clean. Perfect”

“Great ambiance. nice and welcoming atmosphere. The foods are all amazing. I actually have nothing to complain. Will be definitely returning soon.”

“Went in for one drink with my boyfriend and his dad, and I was charmed by the interior. Sooo much history in every single piece, small or big. I've had the pleasure of actually meeting the owner that told me every object is part of his 50 years personal collection.”

“Harry up please open asp missing very one works here and customers”

“Historic football pub, home to Brentford FC fans. Very good quality food and beer. Friendly customers and staff.”

“This is local to us and we are happy to make the short 10 minute walk here. Proper old school pub. Loads of choice and really great prices! Olly the owner is an absolute gent. The locals are all very friendly and good fun also. Max the dog loves scratches and treats! There is a table and a bench outside, which get the sun really well too. Do drop by.”

“Saw a live band (Junkyard Choir) here. The pub is lovely and staff were super helpful and attentive. We never waited long to get served even though it was busy.”

“A unique and very special London pub experience. Fresh beer straight from the barrel in a historic building that makes you think that Pepys and Dickens might walk in any second. Decent pork pies, too!”

“We held my uncles Wake at the Harrow Inn yesterday. Alison and Dave were very helpful in making the arrangements over the phone, as we are not from the area. The buffet was plentiful and offered a great selection of tasty food. They were able to cater for our vegan and gluten free family members with a nice selection also. We had use of a private room and indeed the whole bar including the garden, should we have needed it. Friendly hosts and good food, we were pleased we chose this venue and would recommend it!”

“Saturday night not too busy. We only stayed for a while but it had a nice atmosphere / vibe. Bartender done the job well and suggested me a good drinks. Thanks to Solomon!!.”

“Absolutely great pub. Great atmosphere and attention. Frequented by locals around Mile End. Will not disappoint.”

“Great selection of drinks, friendly staff and customers, and dog friendly!”

“With the amount of unique and a grande selection of beers and cocktails, with a cosy and friendly atmosphere, it’s the recommended place to come out in Hayes. The beers change, however the warmest of hospitality is constant throughout the year.”

“A perfect place for a pint or two. Good beer well kept.”

“Had to get fish and chips! Cool spot in the busy street to grab a cocktail and some food. Decent seating inside and out for a larger crew, and the bartenders are very welcoming. Made a nice mojito as well! The food was excellent, calamari, halloumi chips and the fish of course. Would likely run back in here next time I’m passing through, a lot of excitement in this pub and the area.”

“Really good experience in Notting Hill. We went there for a Sunday lunch, had 2 oysters, a burrata to share as a starter and a seafood risotto and octopus burger. The food was fresh and tasty, and the service was good too. I would reccomend this restaurant if you love seafood.”

“What a Gem of a place. Seemingly, in the middle of nowhere. Arrived by taxi from Uxbridge, booked a table prior to a evening's entertainment cabaret show at the local Memorial hall, "When we are Married". The Black Horse, is warm and inviting, we stopped though not long enough to get a drink as Franco the host ushered us through to the restaurant and upgraded our table seeing that we were quite burly lads. We took a prime table with surround views of the entire establishment. Was warm and cosy with the din of family and friends in full conversation and laughter. For aperitif we had a Negroni and my brother had a Aperol spritz and a bottle of white wine with the mains. I had a Slow cooked Pork belly with Savoy cabbage and dauphinoise and an additional dauphinoise, an absolutely and fabulous meal the entire meal was delightful. Will cherish the fabulous moments and foodie memories (yum-yum). Staff were very accommodating and Chef was as pretty as her food delicious. I wanted to stay, though sadly had to go.”

“Lovely Italian restaurant with tasty authentic food. Well presented dishes and friendly staff.”

“A cosy, nice restaurant. The menu is not very extensive but everybody, who's into Spanish cuisine, will find something nice for themselves. The food is just lovely! The staff are really friendly and well - mannered. I strongly advise that you pop into this restaurant. It's definitely money and time spent well.”

“Writing this review a bit late but if you want breakfast/brunch and good coffee in Tooting then this is your place (highly recommend the French toast -you’ll notice this is one of the only places in Tooting you’ll be able to get it, and the avo on sourdough). I used to live walking distance to the cafe and and very much miss it. The service is top notch, -I don’t know the managers name but he was always friendly and I noticed he would acknowledge each and every customer coming in which is quite cool as you don’t see all managers doing that. If you’re worried about missing out on a busy weekend, you can always book a table Opentable.com, there are a few outside and the rest are indoors.”

“Had a lovely dinner at Tozi, service was impeccable (probably one of the best we had in London) and food was really good. We ordered 6 plates for 2 people and I think it was the right quantity. The only dish we could skip in the future was the calamari- all others were really good. We also loved their pistachio tiramisu. Overall, strongly recommend Tozi as a nice dining spot near Victoria station. We ended up spending 65£ per person so it’s not cheap but it’s worth it.”

“Hospitality was spot on by both owner and waitress. Food was exquisite. Rice was very flavoursome. And the pudding which was a caramel mouse with nuts on was absolutely to die for. Thank you for having me”

“Popped here with a few work colleagues after being stuck on the m25 and the breakfast was amazing came fast, hot and served by lovely friendly waitresses, menu has a huge selection very reasonably priced and great milkshakes too, have to say if ever I’m in the area again I would definitely re visit”

“Absolutely wonderful! Happy helpful staff and fantastic food! Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Lovely breakfast and brunch place! My waffles and oat milk mocha was amazing!”
