    I suggest to book a table in advance. Nice surrounding, like an old farm... The beauty of the wood is the most relevant element of this awesome place. Dinner was good too with good quality meal. 👍

    Wonderful meal & ambience! Recommend the steak and kidney pie, grilled artichoke, and cauliflower cheese. Attentive and thoughtful service from a young Russian man. Two thumbs up!

    Friendly staff, cozy interior, delicious food. Specials of the day are always worth trying. Avocado crab is particularly amazing. And don't forget the house wine!

    Incredible food and atmosphere. Food is great and so is the wine. Don’t skip on the onion soup for a starter!

    Don't believe Foursquare - it's NOT cheap. Set lunch costs 21 pounds. Rather cozy inside though. We managed to fill ourselves just with a (incredibly tasty) soup.

    If your looking for a good classic steak and kidney pie...look no further! Try and get a table upstairs...can get a little dark down below! 😄🇬🇧.

    Unfussy, English food including hearty pies, delicious roast rump or our absolute favourite - Maggie's creamy fish pie. If it's good enough for Princess Margaret, it's good enough for us!

    One of few old school English restaurants that serve school dinner sized portions and no faux gastropub retro irony . MJ opened in the early '70s and has been the same since . Cosy and familiar. .

    Limited vegetarian selection made up by a great tasting steak selection! Cosy cosy cosy. Well priced too considering the area and quality. Come on the independent restaurant.

    Fantastic atmosphere, interior, food and service. House wine by how much of the (big) bottle you drink is inspired

    Lovely staff. And you only pay for the amount you drink from a magnum of house wine!

    Overall our party enjoyed their meals a quaint place with very good service. Though tasty, the rack of lamb I had was mostly fat.

    The cheesy cauliflower changed my world. And the creamed fish pie was pretty damn good.

    Food and service were very good, but felt a bit overpriced and it feels very cramped, with too many tables in the small space

    One of the best places in London to taste the first Grouse in August, a great selection of wines and a wonderful, rustic atmosphere.

    This style of food is done better at most gastropubs in West London for a fraction of the price. The veggies were appalling and reminded me of the 80s. Yuck

    Tasty simple food. Staff extremely kiddie friendly without the place becoming a hideous family restaurant. Would recommend.

    Try the house red. Really good wine for a house and very innovative way to serve it. Works if you want a glass, bottle or more.

    Really bad, old school English food cooked like it's the 70s. I know people like nostalgia but the quality of the cooking in relation to the price is embarrassing. Avoid.
