The best Sunday roast I ever had! I had a pork belly and it was absolutely amazing! Yorkshire, veges, chutney , pork it was delicious! The place looked a bit random at first, but we went upstairs to sit on the rooftop terrace and it was a great atmosphere, staff friendly and attentive and the food amazing, so would definitely recommend it for sure.

Came to the Old Fountain for a roast dinner with a couple of friends after a heavy day of drinking the day before. I myself had already eaten a Reuben in Borough Market a few hours before consuming a delicious slow cooked Lamb roast at the Old Fountain.

I love everything about this place, especially their Sunday Roast. The atmosphere is cozy with the warm service. No need further testimony. Just visit and enjoy their beers.

Great pub! Very fine selection of ales, which are always kept in good condition. The food is really tasty and reasonably priced. I appreciate the put a bit of imagination into the vegetarian dishes, sets them apart from pubs which just roll out the stock vegan burger. I especially enjoyed the Phish & Chips with a slight Nepalese twist. There's also a lovely roof terrace. Would highly recommend!
