Absolutely lovely little pub in a great location. Splendid inside and nice to drink outside too, this boozer immediately made a good impression when the lovely girl behind the bar knew about their beers and made helpful suggestions. Great line-up of cask ales and nice keg options too. The staff were all really friendly and good at their roles (nice to see the aforementioned one get successfully chatted-up by a lad, good work and I hope the date goes well!) I also love the boxing theme and all the fascinating old pictures and photos of previous eras of the sport.

Love this pub. Not only can you get a draft pint of Bishops Finger but the upstairs dining room has been a cozy space to catch up for a meal. Thank you to all the team for looking after our school reunion on Saturday. Loved it. Cheers.

Thank god for the Tom Cribb. After what felt like hours of walking around Whitehall and the Thames I needed a beer. And there was the shining light, ready to serve up 3 pints of spitfire lager. Perfect.

One of the best pubs in the west end. Small but a real gem. Very good wines too. You better investigate the history and art on the wall, which is all about boxing

We called in after a day out in London exploring beyond the usual tourist locations. Shepherd Name is our local brewery back in Kent, so we knew we could expect a decent pint of Masterbrew and lager and weren't disappointed. The pub is attractive from the street and equally so inside, with a good size bar and tables carefully spaced to afford easy passage. Overall, the presentation and service was friendly and welcoming.
