The Monkey Puzzle

Really awesome pub. We visited London for a holiday and had a hotel near "The Monkey Puzzle". We went there three times and had a great time with really delicious food, good drinks and playing card games all evening. The Staff was really friendly and tried her best to keep us happy. When visiting London again, we will try to come back here.

Popped for a couple of drinks as I was at an event around the corner. Found this on Google pubs near me. Very traditional london old school boozer. Great selection of beers and ales and home cooked food. Good for a sports bar, I guess, as all the World Cup Flags hanging up. Bar lady is polite and courteous, and this is hard to find these days. Home cooked food is available too. Big patio garden out back also. Great pint of Morretti.

We were quickly seated, given menus, and told to order at the bar when we were ready. The bartender heard our American accents and asked if we wanted to try a little of one of the English ales before we committed to it. That was much appreciated as it was our first time trying them. It was great! We then ordered two different types of ale and enjoyed both of them. For our actual dinner we got the beef and mushroom pie and the buttermilk chicken burger. There was a little mixup on the burger, but the staff was very polite and quickly fixed the order. Both dishes were delicious! Friendly staff, great food, great atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing food!! Fantastic service, and what a great atmosphere! The kids ate everything until they were exploding at the seems, and they still went for more! The sticky toffee pudding was demolished so quick I barely got time to take a photo. Bar team made a lovely orange and lemonade substitute for my boys Fanta which they completely enjoyed, and the range of beer, cider and the strawberry gin... I'm running out of adjectives to explain how delicious it all is!!! We will be back again before we leave town!!!!
