I didn't eat here having come from lunch at a restaurant nearby so I can't rate the food this time (but I did come here for a work Christmas lunch years ago & the meal was great at that time). Very unusual pub, cavernous and airy with walls and even the ceilings plastered with beer mats and tobacco/cigarette posters from bygone times. Pub not crowded at all in the late afternoon and service was prompt.
Can't rate the food because we only had beer, which was in very good condition and served with a smile. Nice warm atmosphere 👌
I was visiting London from NS, Canada, and I stayed in the building right next door to the Edgar Wallace the week of September 18th. (above the Devereux)...One evening around 9:30pm, I poked my head in the door just to see if their kitchen was still open. A kind gentleman said it was not but what would I want to eat? They could maybe get me something. It was so kind of him to ask. It turns out he and his wife own the pub. I ended up just sitting with them for a pint and chatting about Nova Scotia and London. I was so glad to have met up with them and always chatted and waved on my way by the rest of the week. It was usually always busy midday and after work! Although I didn’t even catch their names, this is such a great memory for me of London. I spent my last evening having a couple pints and chatting with some of their local regulars. Cheers my friends! You gave me a wonderful, welcoming experience in your area of London!
An eclectic little oasis just south of Fleet Street. Warm friendly service. Plenty of keg beers on offer and a couple of cask ales running. The walls are covered in huge numbers of beer mats and other souvenirs of bygone days. A couple of extraordinary person sized doll soldiers guarding the bar, worth a visit for this alone. A lovely addition to this wonderful part of London.
A good pub is defined by the bartenders, the ambience and the clientele.
The guests were super sweet, the bartenders were funny and polite and the chairs were good. Go and speak with the blonde ma'am working there. She is extremely funny.
The perfect neighbourhood bar.
Lovely 'law area pub' with period references covering the walls and ceilings. Nice friendly service, clean loos, & great ale.
Update : repeated my QA process with a group & we all agreed it was a fantastic pub for a post urban ramble.
Is a stone cold stunner of a pub and one of my go to’s when I’m knocking about the temple area.
It was also the destination for @peteinthepub to complete his 365 pubs in 365 days challenge so I had to pop in for a few cold ones.
You should definitely checkout @peteinthepub year long adventure and get yourself down to The Edgar it’s a cracker!
Great pub stacked full of vintage advertising. Proper pub food as well. Choice of ale is a bit limited though.
Great, atmospheric pub perfect for downng a few pints of Guardsman bitter or Hotspur ale - a good choice of real ales and lagers in a lovely old pub just off Strand/Fleet Street, a minute from the Law Courts.
The bar snacks are well worth trying - I had thick crusty bread with corned beef and cheese which was delicious. Good food selection - very comfortable bar area, I almost felt transported back to Victorian times (one too many pints perhaps!)
Great find this bar staff very welcoming easy food menu to get your head around
