The Nellie Dean Reviews

Had heard a lot about this pub having a number of friends that had been to it. Decided to go and try the pies. Wow

You won t be disappointed. Well worth a visit.

Tiny pub just off Soho Square. Good meeting place. Pies available. Bench seats. Crowded. Funky. Very London

A quirky corner street boozer in the heart of Soho. Lovely staff with a welcome. Good variety of beers with plenty of keg and a few casks for those who like their beer in the true English style. Pies are on the menu for anyone hungry. A lovely place for a pleasant pint.

Small but lovely atmosphere..we didn't go up stairs tho

Best no-nonsense boozer in Soho. Good-looking staff too....

Pie and a pint. Delicious. Had the substantial steak and ale and the platter. Thoroughly recommend. 2 guys behind the bar were very friendly and quick to serve. Def going back.

When it comes to pies, I can t say I m a big fan. They re usually a bit too heavy on the pastry side for my liking. But the pie s at the Nellie Dean were by far some of the best I ve had. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing, think traditional London pub and the staff are easy going and friendly. Firstly you get to choose your pie and they have got a pretty good selection including traditional favourites like steak and ale and chicken and mushroom, but there s also some interesting combinations inspired by Mexican flavours and even seasonal favourites like a Rudolph pie for Christmas. You then get to choose from a range of sides like peas and mash and chips and of course a lovely gravy to pour all over. We opted for a steak and ale pie and a chicken and mushroom with a side of gravy and fired onions and some cheese. What we loved about he pies were the texture of the pastry which was a little crunch but overall soft and light as if it had been prepared fresh and not too think or doughy. And then the filling was delicious as the meat used was good quality, tasting flavourful without being too heavy and overpowering in the pie as a whole. We washed the food down with a few ales from local breweries and had a great lunch to set us for the day and night ahead. So if you re stuck for good local food and want to try a great pie you should try the Nellie Dean.
