The 30 Best Pub snacks in London

“Bar 61 reopened on 25 July under new ownership with a soft launch of a slightly limited menu. Grand opening with full menu is scheduled for 1 August. The tapas menu is now much more authentically Spanish, with tortilla being cooked to order, so you have a choice to order it soft Spanish style. The wine list starts with a much more modest £5 a glass/£20 a bottle price point for the house wines. The loos have been completely rebuilt and are clean and shiny, but are located downstairs, so still not great for accessibility.”

“I’ve been to 90 On The Green a few times, and it’s always a great experience! The burger was juicy and delicious, and the cheesy fries were amazing. I also tried the hot dog on another visit, and it was just as good. The coffee is excellent too. The staff are always friendly and make you feel welcome. Whether you're grabbing a meal or just a coffee, 90 On The Green is a top spot. Highly recommend!”

“Really lovely place, with amazing service. Priced very reasonably, food incredibly tasty. And the coffee! My word. I’ve not had coffee that good in a while. Do pop in when you’re passing. You won’t regret it”

“Great new place just opened. Italian bites & cocktails, cool decor. Pasta was home cooked & tasted great. Long Island ice tea was mixed the way it should be... About time we had a cocktail bar worth visiting.”

“Had a weekend brunch here and we absolutely loved it! this place is local to me and I couldn’t believe I’ve not been here before. It’s a cute café, decent food, very welcoming staff (they probably know half of the people who come in here as they seem to be regulars) ☺️ We enjoyed our food and the portions were generous! It’s the little things that I truly appreciate, the decor, the way the food was laid on the plate and the atmosphere in the cafe. Overall, would recommend!”

“Ho comprato una casa in Italia : Inverigo (Como, Lombardia). Allora, Il Primo Caffe ed un piacere mangiare qui. E veramente un Caffe Italiano Autentico, buonissimo espresso, tutti quanti mangia bene ogni volta, senza dubio. Amazing super friendly and genuine Italian proprietor. The young Italian “Bossman” and myself talk in Italian and his passion and love for his venue is obvious to see. I bought a Summer home in Inverigo (a province of Comi about 20 miles North of Milan in 2005) and our Family try to go on vacation there every year. Highly recommend Primo Caffe without a doubt it is the BEST COFFEE and serves a beautiful selection of Authentic Italian food, in Orpington. Caveat : it can get SUPER BUSY (which is a good sign of an excellent venue). Ciao”

“Can’t recommend this place enough! Momo was our server and he was absolutely fantastic and so kind. The food was also incredible. Definitely a must try!”

“First time at this little gem & will definitely become a regular! Service & food was impeccable & couldn’t be faulted even if I tried!. At the end of our meal the chef even came out and greeted each table to ask how everything was which I thought gave such a personal touch & was very appreciated. The atmosphere & vibe was very cozy. We arrived at 6pm and didn’t leave until 9pm (even though we finished eating at about 8pm) simply because we felt so relaxed and comfortable. Thank you The Old Paparazzi - we will be back soon”

“We love this place after our regular Sunday junior parkrun. Great coffees, great service, great staff! The lounge area is original and cosy.”

“Great music/atmosphere , not too busy & quick service. We got some reasonably priced drinks here before a concert - great service from the helpful & friendly ladies behind the counter :) Would definitely return.”

“This is an amazing hidden delight right in the middle of Camden. It's quirky and intimate. The service is excellent and the food is fresh and yummy. We called in by chance and will definitely be back. It's a rare gem. We intended to pop in briefly and we're so enamoured that we stayed all afternoon .”

“Owner friendly, and the cook made the bread lovely and crispy on my breakfast sandwich, not a rushed bacon sandwich. Presented like art work too from the kitchen”

“We've visited here a few times when in Ealing. Such a great little Coffee Shop. The coffee has always been made well, the sandwiches tasty and the cakes taste homemade. Really calm & cosy little place.. would recommend stopping by if you're in the area!”

“Crol and Co South Bermondsey is a true gem! I thoroughly enjoyed their decaf latte, which was smooth and flavorful, perfect for those looking to enjoy coffee without caffeine. Their turmeric latte was a delightful surprise, offering a soothing blend of spices that was both comforting and invigorating. The cafe exudes a wonderful vibe, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that's ideal for relaxing or catching up with friends. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure every visit is a pleasant experience. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or looking to try something new, Crol and Co South Bermondsey delivers on quality and ambiance. With their superb lattes and top-notch service, it's definitely deserving of five stars!”

“Morning coffee and freshly baked cakes at affordable prices were a delightful find in this cozy coffee shop. We had cinamon buns and chocolate croissants, a lovely break from crazy London prices elsewhere. Thank you.”

“We were a group having lunch before a funeral at the crematorium. We were welcomed so genuinely by Lou who I assume runs the pub. Gorgeous outdoor seating area and the flowers are so well looked after. Lunch was simple but delicious which suited us perfectly. I’d highly recommend here and it’s a shame we don’t live close by.”

“Great hidden gem, super friendly service,well priced, will be back”

“We had our daughter’s christening party here over the weekend and the team were absolutely amazing. A huge shout out to Amber, Rod, and George - you truly went above and beyond!! The food was fantastic — so many of our guests commented on how delicious everything was. From helping with preparations and decorating, to sorting out drinks ahead of time and even organising the music, you made sure the whole day ran seamlessly. We couldn’t recommend The Royal Oak enough for a special occasion. Thank you so so much for making our celebration so memorable! — Sarah & Tom”

“Elaine is such a friendly landlady! Always feel welcome. Forgot my phone once and the team not only kept it aside for me, but even charged it for when I picked it up! Absolutely stellar every time! And really good quality beer!”

“Loved this place. Little pub with mostly locals but everyone was so nice and welcoming. There was live Irish music and it was just an incredibly pleasant experience. Would recommend.”

“​The Mill is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. I'm a regular here for a reason—the coffee is perfect every time, and the menu has so many great options. The team is fantastic, especially Cali, who is always so lovely and provides exceptional service with a smile. It's the perfect place to meet friends, study, or just grab a quiet moment to yourself. I can't recommend it enough!”

“Great place lively and friendly and well run by Josie and Andy. We attended a 50th birthday party it was fantastic.”

“Ladies behind the bar were quick and friendly. Lovely air-conditioned pub with comfy seating. Plenty of screens for sports. Great selection of drinks. Pricing very reasonable too. Nice atmosphere. Toilets spotless”

“A short walk from Chiswick High Road, cozy and very good food! Mediterranian menu, deep Fried calamaris, Italien sausage ragu w pasta, cornfed chicken, lamb shank etc. Traditionel food, especially on Sundays! Popular neighbourhood pub and a fabulous garden in the back”

“Had a fantastic Sunday roast here with my family. Martin went out of his way to settle us into a great corner table, and our waitress was brilliant with the kids — patient, warm, and genuinely accommodating. The whole team struck the perfect balance of friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food was spot-on: generous portions, perfectly cooked roast beef, crisp potatoes, and a Yorkshire pudding the size of a crown. The riverside setting under the glass roof just sealed the deal. Couldn’t ask for a better family Sunday.”

“Solid boozer. The kind of quirky pub that you’d normally expect to find down a back alley in the City - but out in Earlsfield. Super friendly staff. Shows key sports events, including football. Doesn’t do food but has a tie up with a local, reasonably priced pizza place which delivers to the pub.”

“Our go to place for a delicious Sunday roast! Visited The Carlton Tavern many times and it never disappoints! My fav item on the menu is the sticky toffee pudding and I will always have space for dessert and order it. Their Sunday roast is delicious and flavourful paired with sides like sweet potato fries w aioli, mac and cheese and cauliflower cheese!”

“Absolutely amazing pub. Great decor, lovely facilities and the staff and locals are great. Plenty of seating options available and a great place to watch sport. Will be back, especially at under £5 for a pint of guiness.”

“Ive been to this wee local pub a few times, always friendly and good banter! Its nice to get away from the hussle an bussle of the high street of croydon tho your only just around the corner.. wee places like this are becoming very rare and in time will eventually be pushed out by other big clubs/pubs doing student nights and cheap drinks night, this pub seems to have a loyal community following and long may it last! Ill definitely be back.”

“We recently stayed here last week me and my boyfriend loved this place! So homely it was so clean and tidy! Pub was immaculate was greeted on arrival by a lovely lady who was super helpful on arrival! Food was delicious! Would absolutely recommend and will be coming back :) Erin x”
