TLDR: Fish and chips drops onto the floor, waiter proceeds to give me same box

Got the mealpal fish and chips today.

Waiter in charge accidentally dropped my box on the floor. Fine. He then proceeded to put everything back into the box and went into the kitchen area.

I thought I'd get a new box but he comes out 2 seconds later with another one.

Does he really expect me to believe that the box he came out with is a new box when it originally took at least 10-15 minutes to prepare one box?

As a first visit, it was ok. New to the business neighborhood, so time will tell.

Good atmosphere and great so close to everything.
My so called crab and lobster burger seemed a bit short on both!
For all that would go agaib

Great tasting fish and chips. Small portion size left us hungry.

Lovely place. Food was great, so tasty. We had the whole bottom area luckily as we had 5 children with us. Staff were patient with us and very friendly. Only downfall was there is no baby changing area.

They sure have the best fish and chips for all I know.

Good place for a beer. Medicore steak, acceptable fish and chips.

Very nice service, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere

Good selection of beers, a nice selection of seating arrangements, tables and booths.

Had the fish and chips, was very good. Friendly staff.

One of my fave pubs. Hidden away from the hussle and bussle of London City life. A'traditional' pub. Good selection of drinks. Good food. Great atmosphere and good friendly staff as well.
Well worth dropping in if you are a local or visitor.

Amazing treatment and a fish and chips in condition ... Oh and the mulled wine a blast !!!

Nice friendly atmosphere, and quiet space for gatherings, food good but wish they had more vegan options. Would recommend this pub.

A traditional establishment, close to Saint Paul's Cathedral. Great place to enjoy the fish and chips. Friendly service.

Small cozy restaurant.
Passing through London, we came across this restaurant. We loved it! Excellent meal and funny and smiling waitress.

Very touristy, well it would be. But not entirely unattractive, shame about the reduced cask beer selection at the start of the long Bank Holiday.

Really nice environment and good food. The fish and chips was amazing. Strongly suggested if you are around St Paul.

Great pub with great food. We were with 2 children (11 + 14) there. Something for everyone and the music to our taste. Price / performance great. We would definitely return there on our next visit to London.
Nice service and typical quaint English for everyone.

My favorite pub in London.
Inexpensive fish n chips (also to go), traditional dining room in the basement and you can also enjoy the food outside with a view of St. Pauls Cathedral.
In addition, the food there was affordable even for me as a student.

Fun little place. We came back twice, specifically for the sticky toffee pudding. The food was served within a reasonable time, it was hot when it arrived, and tasty. We ordered meat pies, fish and chips, and a sampler platter. The staff was accommodating, and prompt, and I found the decor to be charming - of course Dickens is a favorite author, so how could I not.

Great little pub. Lovely food right in centre of London

Food was good, service not so much. It was nice to see a local pub, not one filled with other visitors like us.

Above average staff. 80s music when I was there...

Excellent social distancing in place very clean great blackboard markers on tables so customers can see which tables are clean or awaiting cleaning

Good location and great place to go if you just want a drink, but the food wasn't anything special. My friend had the fish and chips, which was overcooked. I had the burger, which was a bit greasy, but okay.

Found this place by chance only to realize they serve the best fish and chips

Nothing particularly to commend the place. Strong smell of fish and chips, tacky (as in sticky) seating and over lit.

Staff short on English so limited conversation. Both had a mixed grill and not asked how we wanted the meat cooking so can medium rare. Apart from the first mouthful that was warn everything else was cold. Not offered sauces etc. No customer service asked how the meal was even though we had left food on the plate. We have eaten here many times before without any issues. Looks as though new manager and staff which could get explain things.

As someone who works (and eats/drinks) in The City, I wouldn t recommend this place. It s proximity to St Paul s Cathedral means that it picks up lots of passing tourist trade and, because of this, it appears that it s OK to serve average food in an unfriendly way.

You may be lucky (if you re a party of one or two) to get decent service - the fish & chips, if served hot, is good. But I m embarrassed to see how, on far too many occasions, tourists are treated with poor service. As a Brit I m embarrassed. Lots of far better places in the area.

Extra room downstairs and tables outside for sunny days. Not tried the food so cant comment on that but fast service and a good atmosphere. Good location too!

The food was excellent but the music was a little loud which may be one reason that most patrons were drinking outside.

Great Pub, great beer, great food, really nice staff, I highly recommend it.

This is an almost hidden gem. Just the door is visible but you go into a lovely setup with booths and tables, and a bright interior. It's on Knightrider Street and there is a signed photo of David Hasslehoff on the wall! Located between St Paul's Cathedral and the Millennium Bridge.

It was lunch time. Wet, cold and hungry we ran into this place. Fish and chip & beef stews were ordered. Food tasted fine largely due to the hunger. The place itself looked old and old-fashioned. The painted wood-floor gave a great potential to let customers fall down on a wet rainy day, especially for those customers who took quick alcohol shots at their lunch break. Ventilation might need improvement.

We ate fish and chips and were very happy with the food and service. Everyone was friendly, the food was there quickly and it was cozy too. The Fish & Chips are also available for take away. The location is great.

Mice staff offered me a free beer when my meal was late

Good drinks at a decent price with nice staff. Wish the booths were more comfortable.

They have excellent attention. Their food is value for money and delicious

Comfortable Place.
Very friendly staff.

Lovely pub tucked away between St Pauls and the river. Had great sandwiches/rolls for lunch.

Lack lustered, tired. Smelled of greasy fried food. Would not return

The food was lovely and the service was good toilets are poor

Decent food at reasonable prices, good beer selection

Good food and kind staff near the Tate Modern and St Paul's

Good food, good service, nice environment. Nothing to complain about!

It's OK. Serves decent enough range of beers and other drinks. Food is standard pub grub. Staff aren't the most friendly or helpful but that's probably because they have to put up with tourists or businessmen/women

Chance discovery, had a lovely family meal there with awesome steak pie, lamb shank, burger and fish and chips as well as good drinks.
Lovely owner who let us try the beer before choosing and great service.
We can highly recommend it!

Very good service and menu proposal. We were attended by a very pleasant waitress who speaks Castilian. I forgot a wallet with my passport and all my credit cards and of course they had kept it for me. Thank you.

Great fish & chips and chicken strips. Thanks for a lovely supper.

Typically londynska krcma, we put their English collar filled with spinach, was cool and beer.

We ate fish and chips and were very happy with the food and service. Everyone was friendly, the food was there quickly and it was cozy too. The Fish & Chips are also available for take away. The location is great.

The fish is very small, like a baby meal. To expansive for the money!
The staff is well!

Nice central place with delicious food and friendly staff

Nice pub with traditional pub grub and a good range of London Pride beers on tap.

Great British cuisine served in a historic venue tucked away under the shadow of St Paul's Cathedral

The staff were nice and service was quick but the food was basically inedible. Cold fish deep fried in old oil, burger overcooked and dry to the point I could hardly break it with my teeth. The chips tasted like they were cooked in the same week old oil as the fish.

An atmospheric English pub. Good food, friendly service, affordable prices. The bathroom could have a slightly better standard.

Fish and steak are delicious, it should be said that the price is directly proportional to the taste.

great pub, we ate a great fish and chips, at the lowest price we found. 5 min waiting, you can also take away. 100 meters from St. Paul's Cathedral. Highly recommended.

This place a nice but the service was okay only had one person looking after the whole place. He did a good job.
