It is worth the visit to sip a beer in the oldest pub in London. You will appreciate the layout and the narrow staircases and rooms. We had lunch upstairs that was quite good. Service was a little slow but acceptable. more

What can you say about a restaurant that has such historic stories and good food. Our waiter was great telling us all the history and we even sat at Dickens favorite booth. Our kids loved it! more

What sets this pub apart is not its age (since 1667) or its ale or food menu (both fairly standard). The fascinating lure of this locale is its literary history. What joy to tip a glass in the same spot as Samuel Johnson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain or Charles Dickens. Once you have soaked up the atmosphere upstairs, make... more

The bartender is a thief! I recently went to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese (April 29, 2007 at 4pm) and the bartender named Marshall stole L10 ($20 USD) from me by refusing to give me proper change. Even when confronted he refused to return my money. There were several witnesses to this event. I recommend that you stay away from this... more

My wife and I dined here back in September last year. What great service and food. Compared to other places, the food was also reasonably priced. We sat at the table where Dickens and Samuel Johnson dined. My wife really enjoyed our time here and would go back in a heartbeat. The portions were large and the flavors were great.... more

This pub has been my first port of call in London every year for the last 5 and I'll be there again, later this year. There's a front bar and a back bar. I've used both to meet up with friends but prefer the front bar because it's closer to the door... I always need a drink as soon as... more
