St Stephens Tavern - (Near Westminster, london)

4 /5 daniel G: Unbeatable location, right across the street from Big Ben, which makes it a very convenient stop after walking around Westminster. The place has that classic English tavern feel you would expect, but during our visit there was no music or real atmosphere, which took away some of the energy and overall experience. One important thing to note is that the menu was very limited, with only about four items available. That said, the fish and chips was truly delicious, very well prepared and served with a sauce that really elevates the dish. The mulled wine was also very good, perfect for the London weather. The service was good and polite, but considering the prime location and iconic concept, it could definitely be warmer and more engaging to fully match the setting. Overall, it is worth visiting for the location and a solid fish and chips, but there is clear room to improve both the atmosphere and the service to live up to where it is located.

5 /5 Leonor Paulo: Amazing experience! Dinner was excellent from start to finish. The fish and chips was really good — fresh fish, perfectly crispy and full of flavour. A special mention to the service, which was outstanding. Jon was incredible and truly made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

4 /5 Sheen Zhang: To be honest, we were pleasantly surprised by the food here — for a small restaurant located in a tourist area, the taste was really above our expectations. The prices are a bit high, which is understandable given the location. The service was great; Andy, who served us, was very friendly and responsive. One small suggestion for the management: please consider maintaining the restrooms a bit better — at least one of the women’s stalls wasn’t flushing properly.

5 /5 Phang Kevin (KevP): One of the best pubs I frequented in London, been back twice in one trip, steeped in history entrenchdd in its walls, comfy leather sofas and made even better by the welcoming staff. We were lucky to make it upstairs for a more private dining. Food-hands down one of the best fish n chips on this side of town, generously portioned fish bigger than my face and crispy batter was executed flawlessly. That paired with their crisp, refreshing house lager was just perfect. Step outside and enjoy the view of Big Ben at the doorstep. Caveats: limited seating and gets busy so book or visit earlier prior to rush hour.

5 /5 Mad Buy: This is a super cozy and quaint English tavern just across the street from Big Ben. The service was friendly and accommodating. The fish & chips was huge, hot, and melts in your mouth. The sausage & mash was hearty and savory. The chilli con carne was a delicious treat. Definitely try this spot for authentic English comfort food!
