The behavior of the bar woman is awful..she looks like she don't want to work at all... also she didn't explain to me that the pub is self service and the waiter is not gonna bring me the drinks...anyway the cocktails( banana old fashioned) was good.

Food was awful. Don’t bother going. Wish I’d had a sandwich from pret for half the price rather than the crap served here - would have been much better quality and enjoyed. I had a couple of mouthfuls of the sandwich and left the rest

My friends and I chose this spot to grab some drinks after football match and it was just what we needed. The cocktails were great – the mojito, in particular, was refreshing. We shared some halloumi and fries, which were really tasty. Very vibes and cozy. Value for money is spot on, especially for the area. We’ll be back for sure!

Staying at a hotel around the corner, and Gloucester pub quickly became my suggestions. It’s got that classic British pub vibe, which is exactly what I was looking for. Fish and chips are delicious, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The location is perfect – close to pretty much everything, making it convenient for a quick drink or snacks. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re staying nearby or shopping in Sloane square

We stayed on 6/12/24, we chose the pub because it was close to Harrods and we wanted something typical English, this pub met expectations, I gave 2 stars to the service because in fact it isn't there, you have to order food at the counter and bring you a drink alone at the table, very crowded and no one who considers you, booking is highly recommended! But the food is excellent!! Truly delicious and that's what counts!!! I ordered the steak pie 🥧 in the dishes recommended by the house! And bingo!!!!! The 4 of us had 1 main course each, 3 bottles of wine, 2 water, 2 garlic bread starters, spending 123 euros per couple!

Visited London from the States and was thrilled to find a pub with a fantastic chicken wings portion. It was absolutely bonkers!!!!!! The wings were crispy and flavorful, exactly what I was craving. The bar had a good selection of cocktails – I really enjoyed their margarita. The overall vibe is what you’d hope for in a traditional British pub, and the prices are fair for what you get. It’s close to everything, making it a great stop while exploring the area. Definitely a positive experience!

For Italian tourists, avoid it because they make a lot of fun, especially for those who are not perfect native speakers like theirs. For me and my abolished group they will never see each other again. Sometimes you need to be humble because it's the tourist who brings your food home!

A great pub and really a haven to find in central London. You feel like you're in a country pub, but central London is literally out the front door. Prices are actually quite good with location in mind, and the food is really good - much better than anything else nearby- this place has rescued me on many work trips to town for a pint and some dinner. I've never known this place to be too busy, which is a surprise. The team are friendly and efficient too, thanks to them!

Llegó al pub alrededor de las 12. 50 . El hombre que dirigía el pub me dijo que pidiera la comida no antes de las 13. 20 porque la cocina estaba cerrada. A los 13. 20 el tiempo de espera fue de 45 minutos debido a la mayor cantidad de pedido recibido. No hay asados de domingo, incluso si es asado. Mal servicio, sólo intento robar 4 cervezas a los turistas.

Very clean and amazing atmosphere... made us feel we had walked into Great Britains 🇬🇧 past. Thank you John, you really made us feel welcome even though we struggled with the pub culture in the beginning, your hospitality made us feel comfortable. We recommend to any visitors, to get a touch of the local British experience, as this is a must visit We recommend you try the fish & chips and the beef & raclette pie. You are sure to be welcomed by John outgoing and very helpful character... Thank you John .

This is not only an authentic pub - this is a REAL pub, with as much drinking as eating (in the good way). They serve a very delicious fish & chips with crispy batter, lots of fresh fish and large, crispy, coarse fries, if something should have been different, the peas should have been pea mash instead of whole peas. You order and pay at the desk before you have the food served. The waiter (owner?) was alone to serve all the customers (mainly tourists here for lunch), and this was certainly not a problem for him.

Really cool atmosphere. Very comfortable. History on the walls. I was here in the middle of the day and had a yardbird draft ale and their craft banana old fashioned. Really good on both. I dropped a star on food because they did not know what a gin Rickey is. I think they have younger staff early in the day and most likely have more qualified bartending in busier hours. Couple of young fellows were very congenial at the bar however so hopefully expanding their craft. Cheers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am absolutely thrilled with my experience! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations in every possible way. The customer service was outstanding—prompt, professional, and genuinely caring about ensuring all my needs were met. They went above and beyond, making sure I was not only satisfied but truly happy with the results. The quality of the product/service was simply exceptional. Every detail was carefully considered, and it’s clear that a lot of thought and effort went into providing something of such high caliber. The craftsmanship (or expertise, depending on the context) is top-notch, far surpassing anything I’ve encountered elsewhere. I was particularly impressed with how seamless the entire process was. It felt like they truly understood what I was looking for and delivered it flawlessly. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence really stood out. I can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for this level of quality and service. It was an outstanding experience that I would rate even higher than five stars if I could. Thank you for delivering such a remarkable experience!

My partner and I found this pub on Sloane Street as we were looking for a restaurant on Saturday afternoon. After checking out the menu outside, we decided to have our meal here. There were several people in the pub when we arrived, but we easily found an empty table. We ordered the chicken kiev. The wait until the food arrived was only about 10 mins. It was very tasty, and we felt it was homemade in their kitchen. We would happily return, next time we are in London.

Gloucester City. A lovely city, with lots of the old docking buildings still in place, and lots of small boats moored up. Gloucester Cathedral is lovely and majestic to see. There are a few quaint shops to look in, like the House of the Tailor Of Gloucester, which was beautiful inside and out, with so many gift ideas of the books' characters you can buy. Upstairs has old copies of the books and huge tailor's scissors, hand sewn characters, and sewing memorabilia to look at. Definitely recommended for Beatrix Potter lovers.

This place was very busy, when we arrived. We placed our order which took about 45 mins to come, we weren't warned about a wait. I had chicken kiev with fries, the chicken was simply chicken fried in garlic butter. The fries had been fried so many times that they were either hard or full of grease, not pleasant. Hubby had steak and ale pie with mash, gravy and cabbage . The cabbage was burnt and the pie was nothing special, rather tasteless. The pub was busy so must have something going for it, unfortunately, for us, it was disappointing.

Following a shopping trip to Harrods, we chanced upon The Gloucester. There was a local pub atmosphere. We ordered drinks and food. The food took so long to arrive we were forced to enquire if there was a problem. We were informed there was a 40 minute wait for food. Had we known this was the case when we ordered, we probably wouldn't have stayed. The food unfortunately was not worth the wait. For the 'Local pub' vibe it was spot on. For food, forget it.

Too much customer service for my liking. I come here on my lunch break for a quick meal. I just want to find a seat and order on the app. Annoyingly, they make me wait 5 minutes while they find a table for 1 (while there’s many available). Why can’t we just cut out the middleman and find my own seat? Also their mayonnaise sucks. No one wants vegan mayo, it’s just vegetable oil which is toxic. Get some real mayo please. Other than that this Nando’s is pretty good.

The 3 stars were for the food only, but the treatment was bad from the weak employee at the reception who was racist. She got angry because we changed the table and called the manager, but thank God the strong manager was very kind and cooperative. The food was normal and the tea was good. May God continue to bless you. After all, the tea was not sweet.
