The original gastro pub ? You really should know it if you're a Londoner, but impressive enough still with dim light , open kitchen , guest ales and good food. Ideal for a group date

Emanuele Livi

The specialty is the steak sandwich but all the rest of the cuisine is very good. The pub is also dog friendly . The little shame is the slow service but the pub deserve high stars anyway.

Old pub with a long bar and open kitchen . Italian and Spanish inspired dishes with a good wine selection . 1950s hits playing on the jukebox . Feels like what Soho would have been 70 years ago, Bohemian

Nuno Job

This place has no right to serve food as good at it does. Steak sandwich is amazing and some of the best fish you can eat in London. Perfect lunch

Angharad Guy

Lovely low key , cosy atmosphere . Great food served really quickly. A few good beers on tap , lots of wine and solid veggie options , most of which could easily be made vegan .

Justin

Cosy, laid back , friendly staff . The pasta with pork rib ragù was absolutely delicious. Great value too!

Tom Allen

The steak sandwich , whilst pretty expensive , is a delight. There is plenty of steak in it which is always worth extra points.

Tina Lauesen-Day

Gorgeous steak sandwich . Spicy but not too spicy . Juicy and moreish. Very friendly staff . Relaxed, informal and cosy place .

Michael Hadjijoseph

Loved the food and staff . The tagliata and steak sandwich were amazing!!

Roy

The steak sandwich is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best you'll have in London, if not the world. It's absolutely staggering.

Maya Abdul-Latif

The best steak sandwich in London! Good selection of wines . Great atmosphere. All the plates are good.

Matt Lucht

The steak sandwich is great, although can be a tad intimidating for my tiny appetite!

Ania Woo

It's so good to get here just 5 minutes before kitchen closes and get the best linguine with asparagus in the world. Hats off!

Shannon Low

Super reliable. Great steak sandwich , veal osso bucco , squid stew , various pastas , grilled fish ...

Caroline Citrin

London's original gastropub and still its best. Low-key no-bookings vibe, want-it-intravenously grub, creative Clerkenwell crowd.... what's not to like?

Andrew Howarth

The steak sandwich is good, but the jokers won't give you any mustard . It's a Gastropub for God's sake even if it is the original. Taking my own Dijon if I go back.

James

Just try anything from the menu, all the meals are superb!!!

Little Scrapes

Fantastic great value food, but you can't always guarantee getting a table to sit down to eat. If so head to Exmouth Market instead.

Benn G

The most ridiculous steak sandwich you'll ever see! Bread to meat to onion to lettuce ratio = 4:20:2:1!!

Steve Garside

The very first London gastropub , and certainly one of my favourites. A jewel in the crown of Clerkenwell, with the best steak sandwich ever.

Mary Ann Caram

The very first pub on my very first trip to London. This place taught me the value of buying a bottle over a single glass. Outdoor seating is great!

Good Pub Guide .

London's original gastropub is busy and noisy , with gutsy Mediterranean cooking, a couple of real ales and quite a few wines by the glass Read more

Joycie

This place is a real gem - their portions are very generous. The food quality was top not too.

Alex Mann

An unheralded brunch spot in central London! Kinda like a British version of Katz deli .

Petr Zaparka

One of the best gastro pubs around if not the best.

Sacha

Great food which isn't traditional pub food . Philly steak sandwich was memorable

Carol Burnier

Excellent food, and the opportunity to make new friends while sharing tables

Ciaraleaf Meaney

If the choices are barnsley chop or steak ... Get the steak fresh horseradish - delish oh and the Portuguese red is a winner

Humso

All food is good, but if you are a first timer just go for the bife ana

David Holloway

It's all about the steak sarnie and pint of Eagle IPA

Jon Chan

Try the Grilled Mackerel , Spinach And Chilli Jam (via @Foodspotting)

Jarkyn S

david hamilton

Hey why don't you try erm ... The steak sandwich . At 12pm before everyone comes in for lunch and says the same thing

Vlad Ivascau

Daily menu , wine and stake sandwich

Fabiano D'Amato

If you don't know what to order, go for the steak sandwich .. always a good choice

Rashiq

Can never go wrong with the food here !!

Hrvoje L.

Had a roast beef sandwich and it was great!

Aris Koliopoulos

Steak sandwich people. It is legendary

Ed Horsford

Great atmosphere, lovely food!

Bradley Fehler

Steak sandwich . Yes. That is all you’re ever going to need...

Andrea Ruiz de Erenchun

Great atmosphere and delicious food ❤️

Paul Humphreys

Great for Sunday Lunch and try their Bloody Mary's the best in London.

Ainsley Holloway

Food is awesome but sadly we will not be back because of their disgusting service. Aggressively changing the angle of our table every 5 minutes to sit non existent customers was a real low point. ????????

Mark Wootton

Be aware that 12.27 on a Sunday is too early for your lunch order to be taken. Not a second before 12.30 apparently ...

Henry Ball

Two words : steak sandwich .

Becky Williams

Steak sandwich . Enough said.

Peter Sigrist

Whatever type they have on, go for the sausages . Awesome.

Nic Brisbourne

None of the staff in here are happy. And that might be an understatement.

Eleonora Francioni

Good roast and steaks
