Nice old pub not too far from Guildhall Art Gallery. Staff were friendly and welcoming and there was a good selection of beers on tap. The jazz music playing made it feel really relaxing

Small but pleasant old style pub with some interesting history. For those with a preference for Shepard's neane drinks will enjoy.

Amazing Perfectly poured pint of Guinness, creamy head, smooth finish, and just the right temperature. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, really added to the experience. Top-notch service all around.

Small traditional pub atmosphere slightly off the beaten track in the city. Dropped in today for a late lunch, the food was great and provided good value for money. Staff were very friendly and the drink selection was good. Will drop in again if I'm nearby for lunch.

Good service all around. Very hospitable. The brunch is good value for money. The steak and eggs were surprisingly tasty. The margarita cocktail is a must try. Presentation is A1. Decor is classy. Definitely going back

We dined at their private room which was light and airy. The acoustic was good as well so it didn't feel echo-ing when conversations were flowing. My steak wasn't great but the rest of the food was good.

It was a honour to be part of the 2 course winter complimentary menu. The food was amazing! The staff was friendly. Everything was amazing. Nothing to fault. We will definitely come back again. The staff surprised us with some mini brownies with cream.

That was my first time here in Gaucho, I was attracted by its serenity of the group floor, where was also the bar. However, I was here for dinner, so I went to the downstairs which is a busier place. Food are recommended by the waiter, Nikita (a very nice waiter:) , I ordered 200g rump and the banana pancake with ice cream. Both of the dishes are beyond expectations. The ice cream has fillings inside, which enriched the overall texture and taste, but also balance the sweetness of the banana pancake. For the rump, it is so good, and I lost word to describe its special and raw flavour, but all I can say is it tastes a bit like iron and wood. I love it! And I appreciate Nitika’s good service, he was not only attentive, detail-oriented, caring, but he was also very helpful which gave me a perfect dinner.

We had a few items from the menu. Steak tartare, chateaubriand. Cocktails. 2 desserts (one was kindly given for free) The service was really good, professional and class. The steaks themselves were tasty, well cooked and well presented. I would say the price is a little excessive, the sauce pots were very small for the price of 3-5 pounds, and every side is additional. The food is very good but the prices of the sides and sauces let them down as the were not anything special. To be honest I think miller and carter sauces were better than the sauces provided here. The sides themselves were okay. We had sauteed spinach and mac and cheese, again, it was mediocre and not worth the price. If the quality of sides were better, I think it would justify the prices. The desserts were delicious though, 5/5 for the desserts.

I visited Hawksmoor this past Sunday and had an incredible dining experience. We ordered the Chateau, Fillet Steak (both cooked medium), and the Sunday Roast. The steaks were absolutely phenomenal without a doubt, some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The staff were also kind, professional, and genuinely friendly, which really elevated the whole experience. I also highly recommend pairing the fillet with their 10-year-old tawny port. It was such a delightful combination and added a rich, smooth finish to the meal. Highly recommend Hawksmoor for anyone looking for top-tier food and service!

UPDATED review.... To the world at large, I have updated my initial review from two stars in mid-November 2024 to a five-star rating following my second visit on February 8, 2025 and for good reason. Hawksmoor Guildhall truly cares. They were genuinely concerned about my previous experience and made every effort to set things right and they absolutely did. Vallie Perret, Assistant Reservations Manager, was exceptional in our communication. Her kind and thoughtful offer of a complimentary meal set the stage for an unforgettable evening. My wife and I visited for an early Valentine’s Day dinner, and the experience was flawless. Every member of staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The service was nothing short of exceptional, and the wine recommendation — Hartenberg Cabernet Sauvignon was spot on. The food was simply outstanding. I won’t list each dish, because every single bite was perfection. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Hawksmoor Guildhall. Bring your family, bring your friends as this was the best customer service I have ever received in a restaurant, and I can’t wait to return!

Superb experience! I selected this restaurant in order to eat my first Sunday Roast, and to be honest I’ll never forget that experience! In addiction I really enjoyed to drink something on the bar before to get a table. All the staff were really focused to everyone and about every detail! Well done!!!

The food is absolutely exquisite here and the service was equally fantastic. Highly recommend! I would say that the atmosphere/ decor is not as fancy as the price tag on the food but it depends what you go to a restaurant for! We found the main dining area to be a bit like a dining hall but as mentioned we were blown away by the food

We hosted a client event in a corner of this pub. Food was great, though not very varied. The staff were fantastic, especially a female with dark hair - great service. Choice of drinks is adequate. The place had a good buzz, which we all enjoyed. Overall, I would recommend for a pint or even hosting a small event.

We had two and one pint of Jubel, with their green curry and steak pie. The beer and the meals were both awesome. Not to large, not too salty, plenty of flavor. The beer was refreshing and perfect after w day exploring London. Brilliant service from a very friendly staff. If you see and friendly Romanian with a fantastic mustache - you're in good hands. Music is a great play list of slick 90s memories. Atmosphere is what I would want out of any pub in the area. Well priced, very similar to what we'd pay back home in Canada. For the same food and service. Recommend. 5/5 Top Shelf

I had a fun time at The Telegraph, Moorgate. There was an event for Black Entrepreneurs going on for The Kickback called 'City Nights Networking Events', it was a night with an opportunity to meet people in various industries and I had a blast. I certainly enjoyed the cocktail from the bar and the entire atmosphere was excellent.

Went to TasteFilm to see Chef in April 2025. Was a bit difficult to find the location but once inside the atmosphere is cozy, warm and the host was really welcoming. The quiz at the start breaks the ice and gets you in the mood for the film. The food is AMAZING. It's small portions but you leave feeling full as the courses are spread over 2 hours. The menu is well thought out and extremely tasty. Ordering extra drinks is quick and easy with a QR code on the table. 10/10! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be coming back with my mum next time!

Highly recommend! We already went 2 times; Monsters Inc and Beauty and the Beast and both were superb! Really fun, very well thought, creative, detail oriented and incredibly executed experience! Staff, the food, the service was excellent! I cannot wait to go back again!

Booked on to see ‘Home Alone 2’ for the Taste film experience. Whilst the atmosphere, service and entertainment were impeccable, the food did lack in terms of taste and quality. I recommend coming here for the experience to see your favourite films, as it is still a fun day out.

We popped into The Refinery for a pre-show meal before a concert in The Barbican. It's perfectly located for that purpose and worked out well for us with fast, friendly service and tasty food. You do have to venture inside to find the tables though because much of the space is given over to being a busy bar. In terms of food we kept it pretty simple and I went for the fish pie with some onion rings. These were both very enjoyable and efficiently prepared. It would have been nice if the pie could have been a little larger or delivered with a side of vegetables (since it costs £16.95) but this wasn't a deal-breaker.

Fun alternative experience we saw Chef and the food menu was well matched to the film and really good.

The pasta and coffee combination sounds bit awkward but that’s what I bought from Coco Di Mama and I never regretted my decision. I am all time pasta lover but coffee is something I am very particular about and here I did t get disappointed. The taste of coffee is something specially different. #vikrmn

I guess red pesto is missing in this one, kind of bland. Usually this place is ok
Chandra Sekhar - 5 years ago

I love the coffee here - it's smooth, well-rounded and flavoursome without being bitter. And it's consistently good too. The queue to pick up the coffee can be a bit haphazard and annoying, but they always get the order correct and it's worth it. The breakfast pots are tasty too - the avocado and egg pot is healthy without being dull to eat. The sourdough breakfast baguette is actually as well filled and tasty as the menu photo suggests!

Store and staff very friendly. I've had better hot chocolate. Pasta great and quickly served. Specials a bit hit and miss. Getting increasingly expensive - now £6.50 for standard pasta. Music way too loud to hear servers.

We hosted our work Christmas party for a group of 126 people, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, the communication with the team was excellent—every detail was handled smoothly and efficiently. The staff on the night were super helpful and incredibly friendly, making sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. The three-course meal was delicious, with plenty of compliments from our team about the quality of the food. They were also extremely accommodating when our live band arrived to set up. The space worked perfectly for both the seated dinner and the band’s performance, creating a great atmosphere for the evening. I can’t recommend Austin Friars Balls Brothers enough for any large event or party. A huge thank you to the team for helping us create such a memorable night!

Went to Gingerdoespartys Big Drag Brunch. Never saw the bottom of the glass until the end, food was delicious and the queens were obviously fabulous. The staff were brilliant and so helpful when I thought I had dropped my oyster card.

Went to gingers drag brunch, wow it was amazing!! Big big shout out to Mark who was incredible with our service and always making sure we were topped up. We thought we lost my girlie's phone but he really went to effort to find it and he did! And highly recommend his cocktail bird jingle. Show was brilliant and really good value for money. The venue is really nice and when I spoke to Mark, i want to bring my dad here as he would love this place. Overall really great experience, great show and lovely staff. Highly recommend!

Christmas lunch for our team of 33 yesterday was above excellence. Stepping up to the balcony where just our team were sitting, my first vision of the area layout was excellent, with all decorations and enhancements that would be expected at Christmas time. Our tables were in groups rather than one long table, this was ideal for us and worked out very well. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, seating comfortable and so very cozy. We had three courses, each pre-selected course had good options to choose from. Dietary requirements were of no problem to them and were adhered to, this was certainly a 5 Star lunch and 5 Star service, for me it was the best turkey dinner I'd had for some time, courses were delivered with a good rest period between each one, no rushing, and the staff were very attentive. All in all, we all had a wonderful Christmas lunch, not one complaint, all enjoyed their meal, we would certainly go again.

Disappointing. Left sitting for a long time, then the food took a long time, and it wasn't very hot (but tasted good). OK experience. The staff were very friendly and accommodating despite a long wait.

Came to see if the service had improved in the past couple of years. It has not. The main theme here is bag thieves, which the pub is taking very seriously (which is appreciated). Bar service, not so much. High prices despite all of the above.

Met up with an old work colleague whom I've not seen (we think) in about 15 years or more. Book table and opened tab staff very friendly and accommodating as I was in a wheelchair . Defo will use this pub again when next in London.

Nice enough pub in a good location when you’re waiting for a train! There’s some interesting decor to admire with the railway crests above the bar, and everywhere is clean. Staff are friendly and there is a good range of drinks available on draught. They do allow drinks outside but only when served in plastic glasses. I’ll be returning again!

I met Jamie at the bar she was excellent, great customer service and great knowledge on everything!! I then asked for a manager Cael, he looked slightly concerned but remained professional. Asked me how my experience was and what I needed. I then proceeded to inform him about my interaction. He expressed praise to Jamie and then managed to upsell me a Glynn Livit double! Well worth it. One of the best railway bars I've been to when it comes to customer service.

The place is great and the atmosphere is chill. But the tap beer we got was flat, also the coleslaw and the beef croquettes were only okay, not amazing. Still a good place to hang and drink, just the food quality is not great!

Had a wedding here, so this was not just an overnight stay. From the initial inquiry into dates, through room booking, buffet selection, and the event itself, the staff have been extremely helpful. A wedding is a special day for any couple, and this team help take the stress out of the organisation part. Over the weekend nothing was too much trouble. From front of house, to those behind the scenes, all the staff worked to make that day flow without issue. Not planning on another wedding, but would recommend this place to anyone that is. Will also be nipping back for the occasional evening meal.

Popped into this pub on a whim and ended up having such a great time—huge shoutout to Olly, who made the experience even better. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure everyone was having a good time. I was having a bit of a rubbish day, but Olly’s friendly attitude and solid service really lifted the mood—cheers for that.

I had an absolutely sensational experience. In particular one individual made this an extra special pub night. His name was Olly. An absolutely outstanding vibe. Complete positivity. Behind the bar pouring pints, vodka cokes. Whatever we wanted. Can’t praise this man enough.
