Friendly staff. Good selection of alcohol beverages Atmosphere lovely The food took Nearly half an hour The toast was burnt I would have complained but no one came to ask if the food was ok. The ladies toilets were filthy lacking in loo roll My toilet didn't flush. The men's toilets floor was covered in sick Serving alcohol to a customer to get so poorly isn't acceptable. The staff were doing their best cleaning it . But it put us off. It was a shame we were looking forward to the meal and relaxing in the lovely bar.

Perfect pub by the office! Finally a place that doesn't turn the music up so loud that everyone has to shout. Please don't change this about yourself, Three Compasses!

Hidden from the main Bishopsgate road outside of Liverpool Street station, this fine eatery was a pleasant surprise! The steaks were done to perfection!! And the red wines to compliment were spot on! Thanks for the treat guys! And prices weren't silly neither!

WOW, what a find, I'll be back . . . . let me start. . . super atmosphere, its cosy, and a buzzy little spot, with all walks of life there, couples enjoying the view on the terrace and groups in the main body of the restaurant, the food is delicious and reasonably priced along with the wine which they have a bottle for all tastes and pockets. We had a mix of dishes, the Chicken Liver Pate was to die for and one of my favourite starters, along with the Asparagus and cheese, yum, the mains I loved were, the Lamb Rump, and the Magret de Canard, delicious - we started with Negroni's and moved…
