About Sir John Oldcastle

Ate here several times during my visit to London. Spent ~10-15 pounds on breakfast, I think it's a good deal for Central London. The service is good (you need to order at the bar and wait at your selected table), the food was also really nice.

Really good pub with great staff and we all enjoyed the food.spoons food is never the best but 3 meals and 3 pints for under £35 in the centre of London is remarkable really and the burger I had was the best I'd eaten while in London for the weekend and I'd eaten a burger a day.my dad's curry was really good aswell and I'll be trying that in the future..nice clean and roomy pub aswell with outdoor seating..would definitely recommend coming here if it's for food or drink or both..loved it

A medium sized branch very near to Farringdon Station. Handy if you need to eat en route to elsewhere for a more reasonable price. Had the Vegetarian Breakfast and a pint of Mauldon's Black Adder Beer. Beer was £4.68 and Breakfast £6.40. Prices are typical of Zone One branches nowadays but more expensive than most branches elsewhere. Breakfast was well prepared and served. For some reason got an extra piece of toast! The…
