    Great place to watch soccer. Very nice staff and service is good. Food is a bit overpriced and not the best and drinks are definitely up there in price, but overall a good time

    High tea sounded like a good idea to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant is large with a private room set aside for high tea. The overall space was not as elegant or formal as I had hoped. It was quiet with attentive service. We were happy that there was a vegetarian option. The tea sandwiches and pastries were presented nicely, they were tasty but not exceptional. Overall a nice experience.

    Always loved it here. Service was slow. Food was plentiful. Food seemed to be "off." Stick with the bangers and mash and desserts. You won't be disappointed.

    The tea is beautiful. Our hostess Christina is lovely lively engaging and accommodating. She makes the time fun. The food is authentic. Except my husband was disappointed when there was no cream cheese watercress/cucumber sandwiches. Oh well must go with the times of mozzarella tomato and basil. The room is bright with sunshine and of course like the pub an English experience . We’ve visited the pub since its opening but never the tea. Now it’s complete. We talked of returning while still enjoying our afternoon.

    Good wholesome food just like it is back in the home country. My wife had liver and onions and I had chicken pie and both were very good. Will come here again next time we are in Santa Monica
