This was one of my favourite pubs in London! The decor is random & quirky and the burgers are delicious! Apparently they do Lemon Meringue shots on Fridays, wish we could have come back to try them!

Wacky pub. Literally everything you could imagine is pinned on to the walls. Tried their veggie burger and it was really heavy, and the place kinda smelled like cooking oil.

Massive, delicious burgers! The full Nelson is big enough to be shared. Fully recommended.

Great atmosphere! I would't be surprised if i met Pete Doherty or John Lennon here. Beer selection is more than sufficient and food is also very tasty. Worth spending a night.

Great burgers and huge portions. They also do student discount on food and some drinks. Awesome bartenders to top it off. Definitely check it out

The burger menu is massive. I recommend the Olympic. Whichever one you go for, the portions are very generous. Vegetarian menu as well.

my kind of place! 90s-ish theme but more like, around since the 90s as opposed to a (the?) portlandia sketch. bar IS open on sundays, but the kitchen is closed. good patio! good music!

Excellent atmosphere and a friendly staff. Food and beer selection are good, but not the best.

Amazing burgers, including awesome veggie options, not just your usual courtesy portobello mushroom in a bun.

Nice little pub. Had the Full Napoleon and it was pretty nice and massive!

The old reliable. Definitely visit - especially on cheap drink days (Mon - Wed)! And the quiz is bonza too.

Cheap drinks, huge burger selection although I have had much better and they are quite expensive (£11+). Quirky pub with lots of tacky decoration but cute nonetheless.

One of the best burgers i've had in London for sure, plus the place is beautifully quirky.

Safe to say this is my 5th favourite pub in London. It's made it so high due to Mrs Wong and Suarez chilling on the wall.
Ed WoodcockJanuary 12, 2017
Very big selection of burgers with some very quirky ones, including peanut butter.
Clay VickersSeptember 25, 2013
The drinks are EXTREMELY reasonably priced. Highly recommend this for a good night out without breaking the bank.

Generous student discounts & eclectic cheesy music ✌️

Amazing burgers and dogs...create your own or select from over 20!
Mikal TangMarch 15, 2014
Come down with an empty stomach... The burgers and hotdogs come fully loaded and aren't for the faint hearted!

Good lord! Eight different veggie burgers to choose from, probably the best I've had in London.
Mark KiddieMay 3, 2014
Ring ahead to find out what time they are ACTUALLY closing the kitchen ... Signs can be deceiving!

Me: Can I order a...? Bitchy waitress: It's a half hour wait. Me: ok. Her: actually its 45 minutes. Me: That's fine. Her: It's a Long wait. CAN I FUCKING ORDER OR NOT? WTF! Great burgers otherwise.

Horrible experience, food took ages to come, they made a mistake on the order, the menu is very confusing, they say their stuff is handmade, I call that BS
Bianca BorandaFebruary 9, 2012
My absolute favourite! Monday nights you might hear a lot of The Stone Roses.
