The 30 Best Ale selection in London

“Visited this pub for lunch yesterday with a 4 day old baby - the two ladies serving were very welcoming and friendly. Table service was great from the moment we sat down and after scouring the menu, we both ordered the New Inn Burger - 5* burger in my opinion, the quality of meat and the cook was excellent. Hats off to the chef! Will definitely be returning.”

“The roast dinner here is the best in Ealing, amazing home cooked carvery. I live over the road and have had all roasts in the local pubs and this can’t be beaten on quality or price. No photos as we was all to eager to eat!!! 10/10”

“Can’t get enough of this place: The perfect combination of great food, amazing service, and the perfect location. The food is far superior than your average pub; one could even say it’s gourmet. I suggest you try the steaks and a variety of their appetizers and wash them down with carefully crafted beverages. Always a pleasure to go here and you won’t be disappointed during the week or on weekends.”

“My favourite pub in London which as a Chiswick local I am blessed to have here. A Fullers pub run by Mike and his well picked team who really know what they are doing. Expect warm welcome, nice crowd of all sorts of Londoners coming together over a great selection of Fullers beers and great Thai food. There are unique guest ones on tap rotated often and they always have crisp cold Asahi larger to wash down the best Thai food in London. Dogs are welcome like all good London pubs, our have developed a taste of Thai food and as a result, they always drag us there. Thai restaurant at the back if you are not a dog lover and want a restaurant setting for your night.”

“A really friendly, warm and inviting pub with an amazing view. The staff made me feel very comfortable even dining alone. The food was such a treat, lovely flavours, great quantity and brilliant value.”

“Popped in out of curiosity and was warmly welcomed. Friendly regulars, willing to move around so we had a seat. Very reasonable prices too.”

“Great beer selection. Nice friendly pub. Recommended.”

“Faultless and enjoyable stay at the Pig and Whistle for 3 nights. Would definitely recommend. Room was lovely and spacious, along with free car parking. Many thanks to both Jeremy and Silvio.”

“Their toffee vanilla dessert was excellent. The Guinnes is great and absolutely love the chips. Service was super friendly, overall a cery nice pub in Hamstead.”

“Just been in for some food after a day of travelling. Treated myself to a steak and just hoped it was edible to be honest. It was the most succulent perfectly cooked rib eye with homemade horseradish and a watercress and caper salad. Was delicious, my daughter had a burger and ate it all! Nice atmosphere and good beer selection. Can’t wait to come back.”

“Although we visited with a very large party there was plenty of room for us all to be sat relatively close together! Considering we put in a lot of food and drink orders in a short space of time, the wait wasn’t longer than necessary at all. We had a look at the lunch menu and as soon as we noticed the battered haddock and tartar sandwich, we were sold! The haddock was perfectly cooked and crispy with a decent amount of tartar which complimented perfectly. Our side of fries was also extra yummy and served with wild garlic mayo which was amazing! Somebody else on our table ordered the smoked salmon and cream cheese with many comments of how delicious it was; filled with a generous amount of salmon! Lastly and quite importantly we were very happy to see vegetable crudités and humous on the kids menu, as often it’s easy to order for young children but not necessarily for babies and this was a perfect option. We just asked for cucumber rather than the carrots to stay on the safe side, and they came in perfect slices - great for baby led weaning when out on the go. The humous was lovely and definitely tasted homemade! We will 100% be coming back here again:)”

“This place is a family favourite. Corey Chloe and Dan are the dream team always extremely welcoming and make the place so special. Corey is always there when my grandparents visit and take such good care of them it’s their favourite place in the world”

“We have just rounded off a fantastic weekend trip to watch the rugby with a fantastic Sunday roast at the White Horse in Richmond. A really brilliant proper pub with a superb Sunday lunch menu that catered for all our family. The Pork Belly bites were incredible and the Cauliflower Cheese you could eat on its own… a must try! The staff were brilliant and easily the nicest roast I’ve had in years!”

“We’ve visit The Britannia several times over the past few years (every time we visited Richmond) and the experience was great every single time. On our most recent visit we tried the cheese soufflé, the fish and chip and the turbot. Every dish was delicious, fish on both mains was cooked to perfection, service was friendly and courteous. Wine list is great as well. Highly recommend for a great night out and exceptional food experience.”

“The team at The County Arms were very thoughtful and attentive for my husband’s 50th in the Trinity Room. The decor was lovely and well balanced, food was devoured, drinks were constantly flowing, and the team were great in not only keeping to the desired timeline but thinking about how to help deliver things like the cake to the room in a seamless manner and make things easier for me as the host. Thank you team for making it such a wonderful and memorable evening for us all!!”

“Had a lovely Sunday Roast. Dave and the other staff provided us with great service. Nice pub and experience. Will be returning.”

“Me and the fam had a party there and honestly, beyond the delish food and the top-notch atmosphere, words aren't enough to say how kind and attentive the staff were to us. Anmor was a true ledge helping us set up the room early on and Grace and Simona were superstars keeping everything running smoothly during the actual event. Because of them, the night was even more special. You can bet good money on me coming back!”

“To be honest I can't rate the food as I am not sure they even do food, but it's a great pub with a good selection of beers. Really nice location too.”

“We're so glad we found The Porchester. The fish and chips were truly the best we've had in London—perfectly crispy and delicious. What really made our visit special was the service from Liam. He was so welcoming and enthusiastic that he convinced us to return for their Wednesday night Quiz Night. And we're so glad we did! The quiz was so much fun and had a great atmosphere. Just a heads-up, it's a popular event, so definitely call ahead and make a reservation if you want to join in on the fun.”

“Great boozer, good choice of beers, plenty of seating inside and the food was both reasonably priced and very enjoyable. Had a few offers on food, e,g 3 starter plates for £21…was worth it to share between 2. Staff were spot on, food came out in good time.”

“A lovely small traditional pub. Service was friendly and quick from a young lady, who also remembered the details of our drinks for each round. Cask beer was lovely and keg beer choice was good too. The wine wasn't any good but it never is in a pub. We stayed for 2-3 hours so that says something.”

“We came here to watch the Nations League final and the place is really lovely! The terrace at the back is a real bonus, and the staff were friendly even under the pressure of service (just two waitresses serving the whole pub! I’m a GM myself and honestly, I’ve rarely seen anything like it). The place is also pet-friendly, which is much appreciated, and the food is very good! If you live in the area, I 100% recommend it.”

“Great pub in Clapham...all the staff are helpful and friendly especially the bar staff, quick service. Food good too.. drinks are reasonably priced and have some great bands on”

“Gerson was so personable and helpful. He recommended the spicy margarita (and made it based on my preferred spice level!) Absolutely lovely guy and overall kind and welcoming staff. Would recommend to anyone :)”

“Had wanted to try this pub after walking past it a couple of times. Landlord was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. Food was great and whilst it was quiet there was still a good atmosphere. Only feedback would be that it would be nice to see a few more options on tap. Thank you!”

“A fantastic cute quaint and very beautiful pub.. think about the movie the Holiday.. and you’ll get the same vibe. Tyler is one of the excellent bartenders who is brilliant with recommendations as was Eric.. thank you for both ideas re non alcohol options too! The fire place was just gorgeous! I made some beautiful friends standing there - there were little children and adults all enjoying their Sunday roasts and mellow drinks. I loved the aubergine and goats cheese dish! I also loved the rosemary and black truffle fries and again thank you to Tyler for the delicious hot chocolate! Thank you to Eric the deputy manager too! What makes this place special is the character, the energy and the amazing staff and delicious food and drinks!”

“I popped into The White Hart in Crystal Palace and was blown away by their Sunday roast. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Anastasiia looked after us and made the experience even better — so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in London!”

“Omg... We've finally found you back again after leaving us in Tooting! Amazing Brasilian food.. pastels as good as ever.. and I'm told.. Tuesday steak day - BOGOF Wed pizza day - BOGOF Thursday - 12-4pm 30% off”

“Came in for brunch with my girlfriend, greeted immediately with friendly service (attentive but not cloying). The kimchee Bloody Mary is delicious. Was seated immediately and even offered to swap to a comfier table despite the pub being busy. I had the full English which was very yummy with clear use of higher quality ingredients (especially the thick cut bacon which was the best I’ve ever had). My girlfriend had the croque Madame which was super delicious and decadent. Overall amazing experience and service can’t wait to return for the gammon steak and chips.”

“The Fox & Anchor is a wonderful pu Fantastic atmosphere and great service. A really homey pub with wood panelled decor, cosy lighting and a magnificent silver bar If you come with 4 people to eat you may find yourself in one of 3 little private dining rooms which are very charming The roasts are to die for however I had the pork belly and it was too dry for my liking but all the trimmings were sensational We have lived locally for 7 years and never tried it! Don’t make the same mistake as us”
