Great service, amazing atmosphere, truly magnificent steaks.
We took some great wine, by our very kind waiter recommendations.
Moreover, the desert and desert wine were his suggestions as well.
As we have American steaks more available to us, we choose the Irish 40 day dry aged wing rib cut.
Which was very tasteful, soft and tender.
Perfeclty cooked for medium, and accompanied with great sides of Truffle triple cooked fries, and creamed spinach.
If you are looking for a good restaurant to celebrate with, come here.

Expected amazing based on price point and reviews but in the end I would say the meat quality was good but not great. Came here as a group of 4 and the service was friendly and attentive.
Shows us meat board and we chose 2 sirloins and 2 ribeyes from US and Australia. The later for us was the tasty and more succulent of the two. Ordered fries, chips, mushrooms, spinach and sauces along with bottle of wine.
The steaks overall were good and tasty but have had better and given how expensive everything were, I was expecting much better quality.
Notified restaurant that it was wife’s birthday and they brought out non diary dessert at the end which was very nice touch - or so we thought!
However they charged us for it which I thought was a bit cheeky as we didn’t order it and thought was a nice gesture, it’s not the cost but the principal as the meal was very expensive already.

An excellent steakhouse experience at Goodman London! The steak was absolutely delicious—we ordered the Wagyu, and it was cooked perfectly to our preference, medium rare. Tender, juicy, and full of rich flavor.
The quality of the meat really stands out, and you can taste the care in preparation. A must-visit for steak lovers in London!

We came to celebrate our anniversary and we had a lovely time, had the pleasure of having Alex as our server, he was friendly and he made our experience perfect. Special mention to the other staff and the lovely ladies everyone was very friendly and approachable. We really appreciated everything.
Food wise we are never disappointed, mac and cheese was on point, steak was perfect and the desserts were 🤤🤤🤤 def recommend their cheesecake, tiramisu and mango sorbet.
Thank you team , Nagyon szepen koszonyuk 😉

Reviews
One of my favourite stores in London, and the world. It is stunning to just wonder in, the neo-Tudor architecture, the beautiful fireplaces, homewares, textiles. Liberty has brands and offerings and presentation that is like none other. They also have some exclusive deals with certain brands, their parfumerie department may not be the size of other department stores, but it has so many unique brands and some exclusive collabs. Even Harrods, which, since its renovations and concessions divisions, feels so disjointed to me, not to mention full of tourists, Liberty is a hub of calm and beauty whilst still offering the luxury experience. I particularly like their Loewe concession, and modern English designers upstairs. And do not miss their classic Liberty print silk pijamas etc. Plus staff here are always so so wonderful, have been coming here for years, and it has always been like this. They also have beautiful florist downstairs if you are buying a gift and going straight to a celebration, you can do so buy getting customer bouquet to go. At Christmas the florist is just amazing, as is Liberty Christmas Shop on the top floor. They also have luxury vintage section now, an interior design section, a cafe, and i may be wrong but used to have at least a spa. Do not miss this beautiful London landmark on your trip to London, even if you are not buying much.

Absolutely the most fabulous fabric store and more! I really mean MORE, 5 stories of women’s, men’s clothing, kitchen linens, dishes, haberdashery, and more. We did not have enough time to see the entire place.
Cecilia M - 4 months ago
Such a stunning and unique department store! Unlike modern shops, walking into Liberty feels like stepping back in time or exploring a historic manor house. The Tudor-style woodwork, creaking timber staircases, and beautiful central atrium are absolutely gorgeous. It has a cozy, intimate layout that makes window shopping feel like an adventure. Even if you aren't planning to buy high-end fashion, it's worth visiting just to admire the building itself.

We visited in search of inspiration for a prom dress, but unfortunately couldn’t find anything suitable for a 16-year-old.
That said, it’s always a pleasant experience to browse the department and admire the selection of fine clothing and other items.
The toilet is very simple and nothing particularly special, aside from the wallpaper and the toilet roll cover, which feature unique patterns.

Liberty London is truly a dream for fabric lovers! The selection is absolutely incredible, and every fabric is more beautiful than the next. I couldn’t decide what to buy because everything was so gorgeous. I loved it so much that I went back for a second visit and bought over 15 pieces! The quality is exceptional, and the staff were lovely too. I will definitely be returning every time I’m in London. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One of the best dining and rooftop bars I have been to! What a vibe! The manager Ray made it extra special and added to our celebration by taking time to speak to us and make sure we were enjoying the event. I go to a lot of bars and restaurants and I have to say this is a GO TO PLACE!
Beautiful scenery from the roof top and the food was really good in the restaurant. The tapas is tasty and big portions. We went for dinner at 8pm and stayed on the roof top until 1am , music was also on point! I’d definitely recommend for any occasion.
Monisha Amos - 3 months ago
The food is actually amazing: we thought the chorizo lollipop was the most creative, and had great texture and flavour. We also really loved the octopus and oxtail, which we thought were prepared perfectly. Great sauce and the meat was sufficiently tender. The mayo for the tiger prawn (Gambas Al Ajillo) had a nice Smokey flavour and we loved the flavour profile. The hamachi however, had a very fishy flavour.
Desserts were definitely a must try!
The main issue we had is that the portion sizes are difficult to estimate. Some dishes are very small, while some like the oxtail were very filling. We found it hard to gauge whether we had ordered too much or too little. The price point is also on the more expensive side.
Otherwise, we did like the ambience! It is also on the 5th floor so you can have a nice view of London if you have a spot closer to the window.

Absolutely fantastic food, great tapas and wine (we had the experience menu with paired wine). Slightly quiet (we were there at lunch just before a big event taking place at the restaurant so not so busy) but I imagine it would be very lively at busier times. Will certainly return in the future. Would recommend booking in advance.

Dark Brunch with bottomless alcohol! The waiter Adel and Danzil are really nice to keep bringing me cocktails!
🥖 Sharing Board
The kimchi is the perfect drink companion. Sourdough dipped in the red sauce hits different — it carries that rich, savoury depth reminiscent of the minced pork topping on Sichuan Dan Dan noodles. The orange cheese sauce pairs beautifully with the kimchi, too!
🫑 Tapas
Padron peppers, chorizo and patatas bravas — all dangerously drink-friendly. One bite, half a glass down… finished three Sangrias before I knew it! (Skipping cheese notes as I’m not personally a fan)
🍽️ Mains — every single one pairs perfectly with wine/cocktail
🐑 Lamb Shoulder
Firm, tender meat with absolutely no gamey aftertaste. Loved the slight bitterness of the accompanying chicory — such a thoughtful balance.
🐟 Pan-Fried Marinated Salmon
Such a classic Spanish combo with the beans! Crisp golden skin, beautifully firm flesh.
🍮 Glazed Churros
Spanish doughnuts with rich chocolate sauce and orange marmalade. Even dessert keeps reaching for another sip — impossible to stop drinking!

Without a doubt, one of the best meals of my life. We had the Steak & Mushroom Pie and the Shepherd’s Pie, and they were both outstanding. Every single bite was amazing. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the music was perfect, the service was exceptional, and everything was spotless. We finished with the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was recommended by the staff, and it was absolutely delicious—the perfect way to end an unforgettable dinner. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to come back!

The pies here are spectacular. The crust is tasty and holds together perfectly, non of that the pie is in a dish as either there is no crust or the crust will fall apart. The filling was delicious, I loved the short rib and Guinness pie. The beer selection was fantastic. The wine selection was not quite as amazing, the only real disappointment was the wine, should have stuck with the beer. Well recommended!

First time in London and I knew we had to have a meat pie. This place is renowned for their pies and they held up to their reputation. I got the chicken, bacon and leek pie with mash. It was delicious! Very rich and filling, so come on an empty stomach.
The atmosphere is classic and elegant. I love how English pubs look! It’s a very popular place to grab a pint as well. Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
The staff were warm and welcoming. Our server Patrick was friendly, funny and hospitable. He made sure our experience was excellent! I highly recommend coming here to anyone wanting a delicious British meal.

I booked for Iftar and had a lovely experience. The menu had an enough options to choose from. The lentil soup was especially delicious and full of flavour. It also came with fattoush, hummus with fresh toasted bread, and sambousek a perfect start to the meal. For the main course, I had the mixed grill, which was absolutely delicious and very satisfying. The portions were generous and left me feeling comfortably full. For dessert, I highly recommend the rose mahalabia – it was heavenly and the perfect sweet ending to a beautiful Iftar. Would definitely come back again next year Ramadan! At Winsley Street

This was the most beautiful meal I’ve ever had. The service was lovely and quick and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The meal consisted of delicate, tangy, sweet and deep flavours; a beautiful contrast that worked very well. A dish to highlight was the Halloumi Steak which was incredible, it was sweet and floral which paired amazing with the Lamb kofta. The lamb kofta, mixed grill and Mezze selection was delightful. Easily the best meal I’ve ever had.

Convenient salad bar with a good selection, with some dishes as standard with occasional rotations. Food quality seems good, and staff are always friendly. Point of improvement could be to cook the chicken a bit less so it’s less dry, and to add some other sauces (eg some Japanese sesame sauce or ginger/ponzu style dressings perhaps).
They also have some warm dishes that I have never tried. They look tasty, but I always default to salad for my lunches.
This is not a dine in place but there are some tables outside in the alley patrons seem to use.

Discovered L'express Coffee Company while dining nearby.
This no frills eatery captivated me because you choose what you want for a fixed price.
Prices start at 6.90 to 10.50.
So obviously for 10.50 you can have everything in the cheaper range.
The 9.50 is probably sufficient as the 10.50 box is just wider.
I chose the 10.50 because for that selection there was lasagne, chicken curry, chilli con carne, peri peri chicken, rice noodles which are all my favourites and additionally I can get anything from the other range like houmous, salad etc.
I got mainly the hot items because it was the things I wanted so imagine how joyful it was having chili con carne, lasagne and curry in one meal.
The chicken curry was really comforting as it was just like the school one while the chili con carne and lasagne were just as good.
The potatoes wedges were to my liking as they were soft and fluffy.
You can also order sandwiches and baked potatoes at the far end.
According to the internet, they used to be located in Holborn.
Will definitely return.
There is seating outside so on a pleasant day it's a great place to enjoy the food.

Golden Union is a fantastic spot for classic fish and chips done right. The fish was perfectly cooked, and what really stood out was the batter — light, crispy, and not overly heavy or greasy like you sometimes get elsewhere. It had just the right crunch while still letting the freshness of the fish shine through.
I also really enjoyed the fried gherkins, which were a great touch and paired surprisingly well with the tartare sauce. The acidity helped cut through the richness and balanced everything nicely.
Overall, a very satisfying meal with well-executed classics and thoughtful flavors. Definitely a great place to visit if you’re craving proper fish and chips in London.
Joseph Zamora - 5 months ago
Friendly and attentive staff; they offered that I taste the salt and vinegar on the chips before adding it to the entire dish. I got the haddock fish and chips to go; the fish was fresh and light, and there was a large amount of chunky chips. Less pricey than other fish and chips in the area, good service, big portions!

Golden Union
At Golden Union, fish & chips is elevated from a simple comfort dish to a carefully constructed gastronomic experience. This is a restaurant where culinary chemistry, ingredient quality, and technical precision work together in remarkable harmony. From the very first bite, it becomes obvious that every detail is treated with seriousness and respect.
One of the most impressive aspects is the frying technique itself. The oil is exceptionally fresh, with not even the slightest trace of rancidity or oxidized aftertaste — something rare even in many highly rated establishments. This detail alone completely transforms the final result, allowing the natural sweetness of the fish and potatoes to remain pure and clean on the palate. The batter achieves that ideal balance between crispness and lightness, creating a golden crust through an expertly controlled Maillard reaction, while preserving a moist, flaky, and intensely flavorful interior.
The fish is excellent: fresh, succulent, and perfectly cooked, without losing its delicate structure. The chips deserve special recognition as well. Prepared from fresh potatoes in-house rather than from frozen industrial products, they offer authentic texture, natural sweetness, and a far more complex aromatic profile. The sauces are exceptional and intelligently balanced, complementing the dishes without overwhelming the primary flavors.
The cleanliness standards are clearly visible throughout the experience: cutlery is spotless, the presentation is neat and professional, and the atmosphere is enhanced by an exceptionally warm, friendly, and attentive staff. Few restaurants manage to create such a complete sensory harmony between food quality, hospitality, and technical execution. What was experienced here was genuinely a symphony of flavors built from seemingly simple dishes — proof that simplicity, when mastered, becomes culinary excellence.
Pavel Guide Cuisine (PGC) Evaluation:
* Flavour & Technique — 5
* Presentation & Aesthetics — 4.9
* Ingredient Quality — 5
* Service & Hospitality — 5
* Ambiance & Identity — 5
Final Score: 5 / 5
A nearly perfect candidate for a “Pavel Guide Cuisine – PGC” star. A restaurant that demonstrates how fish & chips, when approached with intelligence, precision, and respect for ingredients, can become true gastronomic art. Highly recommended.
P.S.: If the drinking glasses were renewed, as some appear too scratched, the experience would become almost irritatingly close to perfection. We will return for another evaluation.

Review: The Ultimate Soho Chippy Experience at Golden Union
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you want the quintessential London fish and chips experience without the tourist-trap feel, Golden Union is the place to be.
The fish was absolutely incredible—massive, flaky fillets of cod with a beer batter that was perfectly golden and stayed crispy until the very last bite. The fries (chips) were just as impressive: hand-cut, fluffy on the inside, and clearly made from high-quality potatoes. It’s rare to find a spot where both the fish and the chips are equally the stars of the show.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It has this cool, retro-café vibe with bright neon signs and classic tiling that feels both modern and nostalgic. The music was a total "vibe"—they have a jukebox that keeps the energy upbeat and lively, making it feel more like a fun social hang than just a quick meal. It’s easily one of the best spots in Soho to grab a seat, soak in the energy, and enjoy a world-class meal.

The Clachan is a traditional pub with a very nice decoration, inside and outside. It is filled with memorabilia from the 50s and earlier. I was impressed by the nice and clean interior as well as the upper floor dining room.
The service was fine, to be honest I expected more. The food we ordered, Fishand Chips and a salad, was OK.. Nothing extraordinary and rather small portion. The fish and chips were not salty enough and there was no salt on the tables. I appreciated their advice what kind of beer to take, where I was able to taste one first.

Had a great experience at The Clachan.
Tried the Beef Pie and the Apple Crumble Pie — both were delicious and felt like proper classic British comfort food. The beef pie was rich, hearty, and full of flavor, while the apple crumble pie with custard was warm and perfectly balanced. Cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and friendly service. Definitely worth visiting in London.

I visited this pub in Central London yesterday and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was amazing, with a great vibe that made the evening really enjoyable.
A special thank you to DeeTee, who made the visit even better. He was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout. His hospitality was genuine, and he made sure we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. It’s rare to come across someone who is so professional while also making guests feel like friends.
Excellent service like his is a big reason I’ll be coming back. Highly recommend this place, and if you get the chance, I hope DeeTee looks after you too!
