   I really like the upstairs dining room here. It’s quiet and comfortable with great service and excellent food. It’s a good choice for a business lunch or dinner.

   Great location, good food, it took quite a long to get the table but the rest was very good!

   Food and service were outstanding. Steak was particularly tender. Great wine and beer in a true London Pub. Highly recommend

   Unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. Pub was recommended by our hotel concierge. The food was cold and the service was ok but not great. They were out of stock of Guinness.

   Admittedly we were late but I did call ahead and let the restaurant know we were running late, on our way, and would be there shortly. When we got there we were discouraged by our hostess/waitress from actually eating at the restaurant and to instead dine at the pub downstairs, but we insisted on the restaurant as we had seen the menu and booked on that information. There was another table upstairs so we were not the only ones eating yet it is not like the place was full. We were told the kitchen would close at 9:30pm which I thought a bit early, but we had time and put our starters and mains orders in. We also had not one but 2 bottles of fine wine. Our waitress then disappeared for the rest of our meal. When someone did finally show up. we asked for a dessert menu only to be told the kitchen had closed and no more orders would be taken. So where was our waitress? Why didn't she come to ask us if we wanted anything else before the kitchen closed? We were told we could stay and keep on drinking at the table -but also told if we wanted more to drink we could go downstairs to the pub. We asked how late the pub would be open -to know if we should stay or move onto another place. We were told 11:30pm? (yes 11:30pm) so we stayed had another round. The bell rang for last call and after deciding on our order were told that the bar was closed -at 11:03pm. OK, fine, pub rules, but we were told 11:30pm by the staff. It was a disappointing experience as we really felt the staff clearly didn't want to be there working, didn't want us to be there, they didn't want to serve or help us. The food was good, but that is not how we will remember our dinning experience here. And after all that, our bill was over 300 pounds for 3 of us!!! Which we would have no problem paying had we just had better service. And pudding.

   Hi Kristen, I am really sorry to hear your visit with us did not meet your expectations and that you did not feel welcome as this is something we pride ourselves on achieving with our guests. Our kitchen does close at 9:30pm Monday to Saturday, 8:30pm on Sunday and the pub itself closing at 11pm, 10pm on Sundays. Again, apologies if there was any miscommunication surrounding this. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss this incident further. We hope you give us another try as this is not our usual standard. Warm Regards, Team Footman

   The serving staff were very sweet but the food was disappointing given the reviews I had read on OpenTable. The Yorkshire pudding was hard and the roast potatoes undercooked. The fish and chips were better but didn’t give “gastropub”

   Great restaurant and loved the food, but don’t book on OpenTable. We dined there a few weeks ago and despite dining there, were charged a fee for not showing up which we are still disputing three weeks later…

   Hi Jon, We are pleased that you loved the food. But equally disappointed that you were charged a fee. Please get back in contact info@thefootmancom if the matter is not resolved in the next few days. Warm Regards, Team Footman

    The food was fine. The ambiance felt stiff and the service was uninspiring
