    The lunch at Lord’s Tavern was the perfect ending to our tour of Lord’s. The atmosphere was festive, warm and welcoming, the food was delicious and filling and the service was friendly and professional.

    Convenient for the fantastic Lords tour but a fairly unremarkable pub with very slow service. I suspect you could do better unless you want the convenience.

    Lords Tavern is excellent but the pace of service and attention to detail was lacking. This having been before was disappointing based on previous experience

    If you are lucky enough to be going to Lords then there is no better place to be than in the Lords Tavern for lunch.
