Earl Of Lonsdale Pub

My Son (13) and I had lunch in this pub today and we are so happy to have found this place. The pub is much bigger than you think at the moment of entering it. It has a huge room with 2 fire-places in old English-style...very cosy. It was quiet and we enjoyed this peacefully atmosphere after the crowd atmosphere of Portobello Road. I had a steak and ale pie+ mashed potatoes, my son): classic burger. Both options tasted good! Service- really friendly. They have free WiFi too.

Had to ask several times for the table to be cleared and cleaned. Not much choice of alcohol. However, the fish and chips were delicious and well cooked. Partners food was brought out on a very chipped plate and the ladies toilets had no loo roll and needed a tidy up. Otherwise, a lovely pub and great place to stop for refreshments.

This pub has the greatest atmosphere in the area for sure. Hard to explain unless you step in to this gem. Drinks are cheaper than other commercial pubs which is always a good sign. Sometimes bit slow due to short stuffs but your drinks will come so be patient. I love it and it’s my go to when I’m in the area.

I went for lunch to this place and everything was perfect, I ordered the grilled chicken with chips and it was really tasty. I also ordered this sparkle drink and had to ordered twice because it was so good. The girl working there was so kind with me even when my english was not so good. If I ever come back to London I’ll go to this place😊

We had a good experience here. Stopped in for drinks in the early afternoon. There was only one server here and it was the bartender. Luckily, it wasn't very busy at the time or she could have easily gotten overwhelmed. Had a Samuel Smith ale and a gin drink or two. Also had the fish bites appetizer, which I loved so much, I ordered another. Atmosphere was pretty cool with unique bar seating and low walk-throughs (not sure how else to describe them). Again, with just the one server, I could see how they could be overwhelmed quickly and service would suffer. But for us, service was very good and she was very friendly and attentive.

What an amazing pub. Not sure what the reviews are on about poor service. Our bartender today put 4 different samples for us because we couldn't decide what we wanted and he helped stage pictures with my Sons batman toy because I'm making a scrap book for him. The pints are clean and crisp. The pipes are obviously well looked after and it was tidy. What more could you want.
