Davy's Crusting Pipe

Absolutely superb food, service, environment and staff - our favourite place. A superb range of wines and a beautifully presented and appetizing range of food.

Nothing was too much trouble, booked table and they changed to outside without hesitation, also allowed us to wait for half hour for our friends.

Very friendly staff. The table was ready for us and beautifully set, The restaurant had a great atmosphere and lovely food and plenty of it!

We had a great evening at Crusting Pipe with our friends from Pisa. We even had a private room! The food was delicious and beautifully presented although we were disappointed that the traditional Sunday roast was finished. The service and ambiance was excellent and a festive atmosphere in the courtyard with live music

Initially the service was very slow which spoilt the experience but it got better as the meal progressed and the food was delicious. Overall it was a very pleasant time.

Always lovely at The Crusting Pipe - great for pre-theatre suppers. Would be even more super if there was more than one veggie main course to chose from please! Thank you.

Really nice lunch, friendly staff, will be back on my next trip. Recommend the sharing platters, cosy rooms and lovely atmosphere, see you again soon.

We were given seats in a small private room suitable for 8 which was ideal . Service excellent and food very tasty. Will definitely return

Booked a table for me and an old friend - lovely service, not harassed, lots of wine and nibbles, great atmosphere- would strongly recommend for small and big groups alike. I'd always book.

Great food great service we ordered a light lunch and we're in and out within an hour which is ideal as we had a busy weekend. The atmosphere was great and it was good value for money I will defiantly come back.

Our favourite place to eat or just have a drink. We booked Sunday lunch for 6 and eveyone enjoyed it. Great atmosphere & food. A friendly welcome and service wonderful as always.

The food was really good and certainly value for money. The service was very good and the staff very helpful. We would definitely eat there again.

They've got good service, and friendly staff. It's a great place for a traditional British afternoon tea without being too expensive. Perfect for two people to share.

Great ambience, service and food and drink. This is my favourite place to eat in London these days . Well done! I highly recommend this place

An excellent dinner prior to the ballet at the royal opera house. Print friendly service, good food and an excellent bottle of wine. This is our third visit and will return.

I have visited the Crusting Pipe many times over the last 25 years and returned yet again Excellent service, friendly staff, ambiance nice, good food. A slight hiccup with food, which the Duty Manager dealt with appropriately .I would recommend to others

Nice people, good food, good wine list, and not excessively expensive given its convenient location in the east lower end of Covent Garden. Highly recommended.

Excellent food excellent service and the most amazing atmosphere. I will definitely be back and will tell every one I know about it too. If you are visiting Covent Garden make sure you visit the crusting pipe.

Hard to find, downstairs! Nice staff. We had afternoon tea, it was a nice experience but next time we will try something else. Very good coffee!

We went for a pre-theatre dinner. The food was pretty good and the prices were not at all bad. Service was smiling and friendly and quick enough that we did not have to rush for the theatre.

We can definately recommend this restaurant : Good service..Good food ...Good night ! Fabulous surroundings in the heart of Covent Gardens with a lovely Christmas atmosphere 🌲🍷

Food excellent, waitress attentive, quick and efficient, and table booking process (on line 2 months ago) worked well. Very pleased generally and will definitely return.

Nixe pre theater dinner. The food was very good, the wine list could have been a little more extensive. Service very attentive. Overall a very nice experience.

The food was excellent and your team looked after us very well. Thank you very much for arranging for use to have a table looking out onto the courtyard ! We shall be returning soon. Best regards Roy

Great food and service. Had the rack of lamb and the chicken, both were excellent. The entertainment in the court yard was also very enjoyable. A great evening.

We have used the Crusting Pipe several times with friends. The atmosphere is always cheerful and friendly, food from the varied menu has always been good and service has also been good. All the friends we have taken there have enjoyed the experience. We will be back.

I am totally in love with this restaurant. First class food, right amounts, lively yet classy environment and a great team of attendants. Excellent, truly excellent. Excellent for work lunches and excellent for family evenings. Well done!

Delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere - what can you ask for more?

The Crusting Pipe has perfect service, a wonderful location, great wines and good food. And there's usually classical music being performed outside. What more can you want?

Good food, good service. As Londoners it was the perfect place to bring our visitors - outside there was a music from Opera House performers, inside it was relaxed and easy to talk. We would happily revisit.

Really good service and food only thing I would say is the menu needs more choice

We experienced Good food, at reasonable prices ,excellent atmosphere and very good service We will definitely return the next time we are in Covent Gardens

This is an intriguing building with plenty of nooks and crannies in which to sit. There is also an outside (under the old market roof) used mainly as a bar and café where live performers change every half hour. Hence if you want a quiet meal sit inside away from the music! A reasonable selection of dishes and wines but tuned for quick meals and turning the tables over. We would have spent more but felt we were rushed into finishing so we left. Food was okay but nothing to write home about. Service was friendly but rushed and when busy it could be difficult to get anyone's attention.

What a great place. I took my girlfriend and son there recently to celebrate my OU graduation. I had the prawn toast delish! And the ham platter. girlfriend had the confi duck, melt in the mouth! And my son had the steak and kidney pie, best he'd ever tasted. If you like well cooked imaginative British food and excellent wine this is the place to go. atmosphere made even better by the antics of the classical buskers in the courtyard outside.

This is our third visit and was very pleasant, the food was ok but not as good as the previous visit. Service very slow and restaurant appeared relatively quiet.

Helpful and courteous service from the start. Good food would definately go back. Great atmosphere as there was live entertainment in the outside section which adds to an enjoyable eating experience.

We visited with a fractious baby at lunchtime today, and the staff could not have been more helpful. The food wasn't bad either! Thank you

This is the second time we have visited this restaurant recently. The food is good and the atmosphere relaxed. I felt this time that there seemed a shortage of staff and the service a little slow, however they were friendly and acomodating within these constraints.

They was busy took ages to get the bill, got two ginger ales instead of one???.

Fun and lively venue, excellent food. A music quartet outside looked good. This venue would be equally as good in the summer months. We were s party of 7 and were in a private dining area, very special.

A very good afternoon tea in a lovely environment. Recommended!

Excellent wine, good food. Nice table but very near the door which every time someone came in or a staff member went out let in very cold air. Could do with a screen or inner door to make for more comfortable meal Would go again but insist on table away from the door

Great food and drink as always. Relaxed and easy atmosphere. Staff were attentive and helpful. Made a special occasion even more special.Thank you - we'll be back!
