    Drinks are fine, service are nice. The Game pie came out still frozen inside. Mash was lukewarm at best. They kindly brought out Beef Tartare and chips on the house for the wait (thank you) but the chips were cold and slightly under cooked. When the pie came out again it was poor quality and bland. Won't be returning for food in the future.

    We were greeted and shown our table quite quickly. Waitress was very nice. Food ok not bad value for the price. However the experience was let down by the state of the ladies toilets. They are poorly lit, the doors didn’t lock and a member of our party had to hold it closed and there was paper all over the floor. This was a shame as the rest of the experience had been good.

    Unfortunately although this pub is a great location in Belgravia the food doesn’t really deliver. We have been there for a simple Sunday roast and the dinner just quickly turned in an impossible mission. Apart from the carrots, nothing else that the chef can cook. The pork, was the driest possible you can eat and we quickly changed it for a beef. Rubber wheels are potentially softer that what we have been served. The gravy was fat mixed with water, the meat had no flavour and the dumplings where burnt, visibly burnt. Is disappointing for such a traditional pub to not be able to serve the most traditional dish. Further to this, although the waiter kindly apologised multiple times, we received a tiny discount, but the management seems unbothered that the chef is ready to serve carbonised food without an apology from the check himself It remains a great pub for drinks, with terrible roast and management

    Dear Flaminia, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologise and are disappointed to hear that your Sunday roast fell short of expectations. We truly value your feedback and would love the opportunity to discuss this further to ensure we’re providing the best experience possible. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at Georgiana.d@cubitthouse.co.uk.

    Fantastic pub in a beautiful area of Belgravia. The food is slightly overpriced but delicious. Portion sizes were a little hit and miss. Staff were attentive and helpful.

    What a hidden gem! Reasonably priced, great staff and food in a very posh part of town. Sunday roast was very good value. The upstairs restaurant was busy and noisy but the atmosphere was great. Thanks to the whole team and will definitely be back😊

    This is a great pub in a beautiful up market location. Last night there was a large private event taking place which was taking up nearly all of the staff's time, which made for a pretty poor experience for other diners not part of this group. Which was a shame as this is not a cheap place (£225 for two people) but we received a lacklustre experience for the price. Generally the Cubit house pubs are very good and I've always had good experiences, I don't think I'll be going back to this one.

This is certainly not the level of service we aim to deliver, especially considering the price point and the expectations that come with it. We would like to make it up to you. If you wish to stay in touch and plan another visit, please email me at Georgiana.d@cubitthouse.co.uk, and we will do our best to provide you with a better experience. Thank you.

    Straight up and down Belgravia boozer. Tasty grub, but staff, although engaging, wholly inattentive.

    Dear Blake, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry that the service didn’t meet your expectations. While we strive to be attentive and provide the best experience, it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will ensure this is addressed with the team. We hope you’ll give us another chance to offer you a more attentive experience on your next visit. Feel free to reach out to Georgiana.d@cubitthouse.co.uk if you’d like to share more about your experience. Thank you.
