The Star Of Kings

We booked Behind the Bookcase for a 10th Anniversary party and I cannot recommend it enough. The team were attentive and facilitated several site visits so we could suss out decor in advance of our booking, and promptly answered my calls and questions in the run-up. As for the space itself, it's rare to find something like this in London, which has so much charm and yet remains a blank canvas for whatever touches you want to add (and stays open til 1am!). The night itself was everything we hoped for and more - tacos and burgers platters were delicious, bar staff were kind and efficient and everything went off without a hitch, so thanks to everyone at The Star of Kings for a brilliant night!

Had a great experience here with work colleagues. Food platters were pricy but they did the job and came out on time. Drinks also pricy but the atmosphere, music and space were great for the 40 of us. We booked the room 2 weeks ahead of time and communication was great. Bar staff were chatty when they needed to be and remained professional most of the time. Not too far from the station but close enough that it does not get too crowded.

Nice pub with good atmosphere - interior seemed rustic but spacious and there was plenty of seating outside to enjoy. A lot of venues in the area are hyper modern and 'pristine' - so it was nice to visit somewhere with a bit more character. Ordered some chips and fried chicken bites - hands down some of the most lovely chips I've had in a long time. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft in the inside & well seasoned. Also not too thick in cut or too thin. Props to the chef for these & I look forward to getting more (hopefully this perfection wasn't a one-off). Fried chicken was fairly standard but good.

The service is in this pub is outstanding. We celebrated my birthday in the karaoke room and it was fabulous. The pub has a great range of beers (we were particularly impressed with the number of nonalcoholic options!) and good options in terms of food. Mostly though, the service was great, I’ll definitely be going back!
