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.

    We had to book a year in advance for a table of 4 but the food was really good. The staff were really friendly and being able to sit upstairs where you see some of the chef too was a really good touch. We went for my mums 60th birthday so it was a lovely treat and all of us enjoyed it!

    Fabulous pub, not overdecorated, some lovely original features. Food was great, staff very helpful and welcoming. Had a lovely waitress (thinks she was Australian??) Cannot fault anything (stairs down to toilets were a bit steep but doesn't detract from the lovely pub). Atmosphere was lively but not noisy and all our needs catered for (cocktails were delish). Will certainly be back for the steak night! We worth the hour's journey to get there. F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S xx

    The food was sensational, wonderfully seasoned, and nicely presented. The service was exemplary. My only issue was the noise levels, it was very hard to have a conversation without straining your voice!! Maybe a less busy time would be better volume wise, but that being said I really can’t rate the food and service enough.

    I was worried after over a year of waiting that it might not meet the expectations…but it did…and some!! From the Scotch Egg starters, the Sunday Roast Combo for 5 and the delicious desserts (which none of us had room for, but weren’t going to miss out after the first two courses). I’ve eaten in some outstanding restaurants globally, even Michelin starred. This was literally different gravy. It didn’t underwhelm, the meat melted…dissolving in your mouth, while still bursting with flavour. The carrots were insane, the red cabbage, the pork belly, Yorkshire’s, the horseradish sauce that was a light creamy foam…I could go on. Oh and I happened to have the best cocktail I’ve ever had, The Pink Velvet…in a pub…yes a pub!! Is it worth the wait…yes…100%. The staff were also brilliant. Thank you!! We will be back.

    Had a great meal with family, atmosphere was great. Was sat right by the food which was a great experience! Very friendly staff, food was fantastic and it was a joint birthday, was a nice touch for the restaurant to give 2 donut deserts to the birthday guests! Would definitely visit again
