A traditional pub serving contemporary English food in the heart of Fitzrovia. The Lore is composed of The Pub on the ground floor, The Kitchen on the first floor and Private room with bar on the top floor.

All of our food is freshly prepared by Head Chef Michal Kaszuba and his brigade in the Lore kitchen on the first floor. Our menus have been created especially to reflect the seasons, when ingredients are at their very best.
Our legendary Sunday roast is slow-cooked with delicious trimmings.

    Good food and service as always, well informed serving staff, like a second kitchen where we are spoilt with well thought out recipes! Wonderful to have an early reservation to enjoy the sunshine still when we leave!

    I recently visited Lore of the Land for dinner and, as someone who prefers smaller portions, I opted for two starters instead of a main course. My meal began with Maldon oysters, which were impressively large, plump, and juicy. They were a delightful start to the meal, offering a fresh and satisfying taste. Following the oysters, I had the Cod Collar Tempura. This dish was a standout, with the tempura being incredibly light, crispy, and flavorful. The cod was cooked to perfection, maintaining its tenderness and taste. Despite having just two starters, the portions were ample enough to fill me up completely. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would highly recommend these dishes to anyone visiting the restaurant. The staff were incredibly attentive, followed instructions about allergies and all served in a very timely manner; the staff and chefs are stand out material!
