Historic pub tucked away off bowlane. Check out the gates , gifted from William 3rd and queen Mary. Lunch meal and drink deals ( alcoholic and nonalcoholic) Steak sandwich with Nicholsons pale ale ( or 3!!) Went down a treat. Ordered food at the bar and a waiter served us at the table . Can set up a bar/food tab . Clean , friendly staff and quick service. Recommended.

This is a great pub in the city of London, which oozes with history and authenticity. There are multiple standing and seating areas and they serve a great range of modern and traditional ales. The Williamson's Taverns pies are legendary and was the main reason I visited and they did not disappoint, with a lovely crust and meaty filling. I loved this pub and highly recommend if you want a traditional atmosphere, beer and food.

The food is totally delicious and the atmosphere is top. I am so happy about it cos we just ordered something random. The pie is a must try when you visit there. The waiter is enthusiastic to work and friendly. Totally happy to get a random chance to visit this place

Great spot for drinks after work. The Guinness is very good. Very busy but service is good considering. Like that it's in the alley.

A wonderful pub with a fantastic atmosphere and delicious food! The service was excellent, our server Nick, was incredibly friendly and took the time to chat with us, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
