A more authentic version of Rules, this restaurant has an eclectic mix of customers from Shoreditch Hipsters to suited and booted City types. Excellent quality English cooking in authentic period surroundings. Recommended.

Service very good but certain items on menu not available. Three of us ordered strudels but only they only had two left. However prices are reasonable and Sunday roast very enjoyable.

The food was excellent and piping hot. Well presented and decent size servings. Menu choice was also excellent. Although a pub style venue the food was definitely top restaurant quality.

ambient environment and good food well served, I'd asked for a booth as I know from experience it can tend to get noisy mid afternoon

We very much enjoyed our evening. The food was just right and the service professional but also relaxed in a nice way. Great atmosphere with live music. We all had fun. We sat in the large booth at the far end of the restaurant which was perfect for our birthday dinner. Good wine list by the way.

Excellent saturday breakfast. My Full English was as good as any I've ever had; my companion's Eggs Benedict was a revelation. The coffee was excellent. The ambience is wonderfully wood-panelly and the staff cheerful and friendly. Will definitely come back.

J'ai réservé ce restaurant de France par l'intermédiaire d'un site le recommandant (denis sever house que je recommande aussi à visiter). La surprise a été très bonne, nous étions à une table au calme, avons diné typiquement anglais (ce que nous recherchions) et de très bonne qualité. La somelière était française et nous a aidé dans nos choix.

Particularly attentive staff, ready with a joke but never intrusive. If you ask them for a recommendation you can end up having a proper conversation about the fare on offer.

Great service - prompt and friendly! This time I ordered the blueberry pancakes, it's quite delicious but very rich . I couldn't finish it. Their latte is awesome as usual.
