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.

    Brilliant service, our waiter said drinks were on him as the food was 2 mins later than he said it would be. Food was great, overall ambience of the pub was nice, great traditional pub. Would highly recommend.

    We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

    Pros: beautiful, cosy pub with a great pork belly roast, great beer/ cider list. Cons: service was either really lovely or a little bit unfriendly but overall inconsistent, sticky toffee pudding wasn’t great.

    Lovely Sunday lunch with friends and our 9 year old daughter. Everyone had a great time. The service was lovely and the tall chap with the glasses (I didn’t get his name) was a credit to the whole place. The beer was great. The food was outstanding. If I lived 70 miles closer this would definitely be my local. We will return! Thank you all

    Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!
