"In the middle of a busy week, I decided to be a little naughty by jumping off the work for a few hours. A quick text to my friend and a finished customer meeting later, I was on my way to a lazy lunch. We had heard about the recent White Swan at Chancery Lane. Mr. Flavour and I were once regular and could not wait to see the new version. Unfortunately for him, he was gone in business, letting the ladies explore in his absence. This former irrigation hole was historically a popular hunt for the Fleet Street press brigade before turning into a Posh pub and dining room. Now again opened as a pub and cophouse, the locals are already coming in the queue. At the entrance we served the delicious flavors from the dining room on the upper floor. However, rule number one of boozy lunch dictates a freky G T must be consumed before eating one. Gin is something the white swan has in abundance! Our sophisticated bartender led us to a Hendrick's gin, served long and chilled with a cucumber band. That's the point! The new chophouse theme was certainly well preserved. The white tablecloths and wallpapers are replaced by trendy exposed brickwork and deep stained wooden tables. This beautiful room is available for private rentals and would be a great place to impress your friends or colleagues. The menu consists of pub favorites, cuts of British finest meat and fresh fish from South Coast Day boats and British fishing ports. If Mr. Flavour had been here, he would have made a hive for the 45-day White Park Sirloin with Béarnaise and big chips. We believed something easier. The salad baked Celeriac, Blue Monday cheese and Kale salad with chestnuts was divine and flavored with a beautiful earthy seasonality. My friend ordered Iron Age “Pick and brawn”, Pickles and English Senf, who came in the form of a terrine. I couldn't resist helping me to a greedy disaster. The Albarinho was certainly a suitable partner for the fish nets to follow. Fluffy fish cakes with peas tomato relish were mouth-watering crispy and burst with horror. I had never ordered Gurnard before and his fleshy texture was beautifully complemented with braided fennel. The big chips were absolutely smashed and made us dessert without room. As much as I enjoy a maid lunch, it's time like this when I miss my pretty man and his inexorable appetite. A quick espresso later I was returned to the office with a spring in my step and a very satisfied belly. I can't wait to introduce my customers to this wonderful new venue, available 7 days a week."

"Planning a day trip to London involved a lot of Google maps and researching places that did vegan options that weren't too far from Victoria. We ended up picking Pimlico for breakfast and I'm glad we did. I really like the atmosphere of the cafe. The are only two options from what I could see, and I went with the mushroom on toast, which included spinach and avocado too, and it was delicious. The flavours worked really well together. The other option was coconut porridge. They also did a really lovely cup of tea with oat milk! Tea can be a bit hit and miss, but this place delivered. Updated from previous review on 2023-06-23"

"The pre-theater set menu at this restaurant was very good, but unfortunately, our friend arrived at 6:32 and was told it was no longer available. Instead, he had to order a la carte, which resulted in him only getting a soup before going elsewhere for a sandwich. It would have been more profitable for the restaurant to offer the set menu. This was not a good customer experience and hopefully they will improve in the future."

"Not a bad pub but nothing special. Ok if you want to watch the football and you can 't get in anywhere else but the TVs are quite poor so even in HD the picture is not great. We ordered 2 bowls of chips that took over an hour to arrive even though the place was far from full, and the waiter really wasn 't particularly bothered when we asked him a few times where they were. Us: Hi, we 've been waiting over an hour for a couple of bowls of chips , Waiter: I know . Staff behind the bar were perfectly pleasant but the same waiter was abrasive on more than one occasion. We won 't be going back."

"Having seen the Christmas lights at Kingston Lacy we thought we would book a table at the Horns Inn. Still a lovely place to have just a drink and maybe a snack. We had booked for an evening meal, plenty of choice from burgers to a plentiful mixed grill. Well stocked beers, wines and spirits at competitive prices. We went for the fish pie with creamy mash and peas. The pie had cubed fish and prawns with leeks in a creamy chowder sauce. A pud has to be done and we went for the rhubarb and ginger crumble with ice-cream (or custard). Well laid out tables/seating good food and drinks worth a try."

"we decided to visit the five arrows for lunch after we enjoyed an excellent afternoon, but we have remained disappointed. the foods were averaged for the total price compared to others operated in the region. the service was sometimes very slow. while we enjoy a cozy lunch, we felt the waiting time for teller between the main course and dessert to come out, and especially for the bill was exaggerated (the first question for the bill was forgotten, so we had to ask again what the entire waiting time was about 30 minutes.) contempt to details about dinge like after spuns with our coffee frame in asking and not going with a spoon. all those we were supposed to have preferred from the manager on the one hand. I believe they expect a certain standard to be met when they are dining here and unfortunately today it really is short for us. we also feel that all the things were considered and given the waiting times experienced that in this case the 10% service fee on a table for two was unfortunately not completely justified, but we paid regardless of that it came to an experience. it's a real shame when we waited a series of weeks to come for us and it just didn't fulfill our expectations."

"The venue was very close, so much so that they only offered food for those who had made reservations in advance. The staff present did their best and were very attentive. Unfortunately, many guests arrived only to leave a few minutes later. Several items on the menu were unavailable, including fish cakes, sea bass, salmon, cod, and the cheese plate. However, the food that was available was quite good and excellent. Both restrooms lacked soap, and the men's room had a water leak, leaving the floor soaked. It's a shame, as the place has a lot of potential; I won't be returning."

"I have eaten here a few years ago and it was nice however this mornings breakfast was really disappointing. There is one breakfast option which was good and alternative milk. There’s 1 main meal option and I think also a pizza. There was barely any food on the plate and took over 45 mins for the food (there were maybe 6 or 7 tables in and 3 waitresses). They had also not had their shipment hence the poor portion size, a few things were also missing off our plate. I think this would’ve been better IF we were told but we weren’t unfortunately. I don’t necessarily think this is an accurate representation of the pub but I was very disappointed. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-07"

"After receiving confirmation from OpenTable with the code 822102241, my wife and I arrived at the restaurant last night at 7:20. Despite our reservation, we were told we did not have a booking. After refusing to sit at a coffee table in the lounge, the manager was able to find us a table in the restaurant and offered us a complimentary drink to salvage the situation. However, our troubles did not end there. When we ordered the beef, we were not asked how we wanted it cooked and had to send it back because it was too rare. Our dessert took 30 minutes to arrive, prompting us to ask the staff if there was an issue. Finally, my wife had to ask for a glass of wine 15 minutes after initially requesting it. Despite some minor issues, we were still charged an additional 10% for the lackluster service. We have been patrons of this restaurant for over 20 years, both as a couple and in larger groups. However, after last night's experience, we are unlikely to return. In recent years, there have been new establishments in the area that offer comparable or even superior service. Last night's service at the restaurant was truly disappointing for what should have been a special occasion."

"It’s 1.30pm and we have booked a table at the Tivoli we walk in through the front door to an empty room. Surely Sunday lunch should be busy. We look through to the dining area to see a couple of tables occupied but are worried why it’s so quiet. We order drinks at the bar and the server is charming. The place is spotless and the bar well stocked. Then we are shown to our table and order Sunday lunches priced at £17 per head with extra for cauli cheese and then all becomes clear when the meals arrive . They are mean so mean my meat consisted of 1.5 slices of pork 3 roast potatoes. 1 carrot 1 parsnip and a spear of broccoli. All tasty and served hot but just not enough. They bag the pork out with a Yorkshire pudding and 4 minutes after delivery it all over. We then retreat to the garden to find the staff eating bowl of potatoes etc etc and I decide something is very much amiss here"

"We visited today, after previously visiting before, I have to say I was a little disappointed that the menu was majority fish especially with the starters Im not a big fish eater! There was very little option for non fish lovers as a starter except gazpacho soup. Before we even were seated we were kept waiting for 10 minutes to be sat down as a table was making 4 different payments in front of us. When we did eventually sit down the table was incredibly sticky, and despite being asked to be cleaned it needed a deeper clean than that. Food was fairly good, bit disappointed with the chicken burger and the roast the staff were helpful though. You could definitely tell they were short staffed."

"My boyfriend and I went for Sunday brunch and were really pleased with the vegetarian and vegan options (he was looking specifically for a vegetarian Sunday roast and was happy to find one I especially appreciated that they labeled the items that contained almonds (and not just nuts), since I’m allergic to them. It was pretty busy, unsurprisingly, and the wait for our food was -really- long. They told us that it would be about 40 minutes, but it ended up being over an hour. The food was pretty good when it finally arrived, but the portions weren’t very big. I think we would go back and try it again, but probably at a different time of day."

"First visit to this pub. First of all the pub is beautiful inside and out. We were greeted by a friendly bar maid who gave us menus. Ordered two meals from the ‘classic’ section of the menu but barmaid couldn’t find the items on the electronic ordering system so said we couldnt order them which meant we then had to order other items from the menu which was disappointing. Alternatives were fine for the money (mash not great! . Shame there was such a mess up with the food we ordered as if theres a new menu in place they should ensure everything from the menu can be ordered to save disappointed to the customer. Again beautiful pub with open fire and would definitely visit again but please get your ordering system right!"

"Amazing venue for a party! Craig and the team couldn't have been more accommodating in helping us organise and pull off an amazing birthday party in the Ugly Duckling function room. Tim the new chef was absolutely brilliant, he worked with us to create an amazing menu which was enjoyed by all of our guests! He was passionate about the food and it really showed! They even did us frozen margaritas on mass to go with our theme. The bar staff on the night of the party were brilliant, couldn't recommend more if you're looking for somewhere to host a party!"

"It was my first visit, and I only had time for a couple of pints. The interior features a charming blend of old and new, with the cozy nooks and crannies of a historic building complemented by modern furnishings. I chatted with the landlord, whom I assumed he was, and he was very knowledgeable about the products they offer. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to dine there, but I would definitely consider it in the future. My overall impression is that it’s a well-managed pub, navigating the challenges that many pubs face today."

"The location was perfect because it was next door to our hotel. We went in there the first time for a drink and then on another night of our stay in london for dinner, drinks and dessert. Both times the servers were absolutely lovely, welcoming and friendly. The interior was modern yet cozy, just perfect! I was there with my mum and we would go there again anytime we‘re in london."

"We usually have a great experience at the Queen's Head, but during our recent visit, we faced some issues. We ordered the lamb shank with chips, but the vegetables were cold, and my friend's lamb was quite chilly as well. While they did replace the meal with something warmer, the lamb was supposed to be infused with mint and rosemary. However, the actual flavor lacked any hint of mint or rosemary. When we brought this to their attention, they mentioned that it was garnished with mint and rosemary, but we didn’t find those flavors at all. They did not offer mint sauce as a remedy. We paid £2.00 extra for each lamb meal, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Perhaps they didn’t have the right seasoning ready, but we should have been informed about it when we placed our order."

"Wednesday evening snack Got to the kings head about 7 just wanted a drink and a starter Saved quickly at bar and ordered a lobster and sea food cocktail. Had to wait a while and then served by a lovely man but obviously under a great deal of pressure I asked him how many staff were on and he sort of laughed and said he was extremely busy not enough work for. My food was good. Thank you."

"I visited on Friday evening and had a wonderful experience. The ambiance is delightful, and despite the crowd, there were still plenty of nice tables available both outside and inside. I would love to return on a warm summer evening to relax by the river. I ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and onion rings for my friend, and I chose nachos for myself. Considering how busy it was, the food arrived surprisingly quickly and was absolutely delicious. Inside, there is a table with three water tanks and lots of clean glasses for customers to help themselves. It also appears to be a dog-friendly venue. I had a fantastic time and will definitely go back. A bonus is the garden heating lamps and ample sheltered tables outside, making it a great spot regardless of the weather!"
