The location is great if you’re exploring around Leicester Square. Food was good and we were served quickly. Staff were very friendly. We had the Nduja burger, Steak, and Fish & Chips. We were happy with all of our meals.

Well, we decided to head down to Garrick Arms, situated in the bustling hub of Covent Garden. Not your everyday boozer, it’s got a certain charm that immediately grabs you as you walk through the doors. When it comes to the drinks, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for a tequila and I was well chuffed to find they had Patron. Margaritas aren't exactly ten a penny in this city, so I settled for a tequila and lemonade that did the job just fine. My pal opted for the rosé wine - nice drop it was. For a bit of grub, we both fancied the loaded fries. I went for the pulled pork and my mate opted for the pink garlic. They were pretty decent, but a minor hiccup when my chips came without the chives listed on the menu. Not the end of the world though, they still tasted okay. The pulled pork fries, though? Absolutely banging, can't knock them at all. But let's talk about the staff – top drawer. They were well friendly, guiding us through the drinks menu and food options. When it looked like we were about to lose our table to a reservation, they were swift and efficient in sorting us out another spot. Absolutely sterling service. Now onto the décor, and that's where Garrick Arms really shines. It’s got that classic British pub feel, replete with warm, inviting panelled walls that make you feel like you're in the cosy living room of a stately home rather than a bustling London boozer. The woodwork is just stunning, with intricate detailing that speaks of a time gone by. It's the sort of place that just oozes character, every nook and cranny telling a story. There's something really authentic about the place, a sense of history that just adds to the overall experience. All in all, the Garrick Arms is more than just a pit-stop for a swift half. It's got the whole package - good drinks, decent food (even if they did forget my chives), top-notch service and an atmosphere that’s hard to beat. I’d be well up for another visit next time I fancy a proper British pub experience in the heart of the city.
