Great Queen Street

Great Queen Street Review

Expect a noisy foodie-loving crowd at Covent Garden's top gastropub that showcases the kind of classic retro-English dishes that Londoners can't get enough of. Not far from the Royal Opera House, the eaterie is done up in a burgundy walls and bare oak-floor-and-table setting. Rowdy diners dive into old-fashioned offerings like pressed tongue, potato soup, chicken, ham and asparagus pie, Old Spot pork, or mackerel with rhubarb. Dishes from a bygone era, like brown crab on toast, venison pie, and roasts for the whole table—such as the seven-hour shoulder of lamb with dauphinoise potatos—are highly convivial.
