Good but not great. The menu is often very strong, but there's always something disappointing in the cooking. Today, the mushroom ragu was oily, and lacked the inky richness I was expecting. I'm sure they can do better. I'm not so sure why they don't.
As a tourist this place is a great!
Food representative of England which otherwise is quite hard to define!
Delicious food that's just a tad too salty although nothing a pint doesn't fix :)
Decent restaurant setting that's not too posh despite the name.
Prices also reflect this nicely
Doesn't seem too busy on a weeknight. Cheerful staff!
Chicken pot pie is a must!
Decent gastropub with jolly staff. Feels more European than British but this is a reflection of the variety on the menu inspired by dishes from the continent.
Being vegetarian, about 1 in 10 items were suitable which is why it loses a star; this would be a difficult place for a vegan to enjoy as there's usually cheese or cream as a key ingredient in the starters and mains.
This place is well suited if you're seeking animal-oriented dishes but more of a difficult sell for a vegetarian or beyond.
Lovely place. Was much quieter when I visited may 31st. Versus the other few times. The quality of food and presentation were lovely. We sat in the window, so could watch the world go by. An adult women at another table started eating a shop bought yoghurt at a table whilst she waited for her friend. Very strange but certainly a bit of a highlight to add to the food. I need to get out more
One of my favourite restaurants in London, great British food with amazing service. It is part from other two restaurants in London, the hope and anchor near Waterloo and the camberwell arms in camberwell. The best rabbit pie I have ever had, unfortunately they didn't have the last time we visited. Good place to take people visiting the UK for them to try something else beside fish and chips.
One of the best dishes I had during this UK biz trip. It definitely suits Japanese taste as well.
Potted shrimp, Beef Wellington, buttered greens, Tarte Tatin — these are dishes to soothe and reassure. Menus that offer them seem to say to the diner, "Try not to worry. Things will probably be all right." Few places have ever said that with more conviction than Great Queen Street.
Delicious food!! Lovely staff! Scallops were particularly amazing! And OMG the Apple Tart with Calvados ice cream!!
We love this place. It's a great restaurant to try something new as you know whatever it is will be done well. Service is always great, knowledgeable and friendly. You need to book
Lovely selection of food in a great part of London. The beef shin was tremendous
Fantastic lamb, well crafted selection of wines by the glass and friendly service. The espresso is great too!
Delicious food with extremely friendly and knowledgeable service. There were only a couple of vegetarian options but these were appealing and far from the normal bog standard choices - my pasta was light and summery and absolutely moreish. My friend raved about the oysters and the scallops (and everything else!) and even the simple bread and butter was unbelievably tasty. Staff were all aware we were heading to the theatre and while we didn't feel at all rushed they definitely kept an eye on the time for us. Highly recommended!
The whole family really enjoyed this restaurant.
The downstairs bar/lounge was a pleasant place to wait for the table upstairs. The Moscow Mules were very spicy with ginger.
The dinning room had a great buzz, with rustic/hip decor and romantic lighting.
The manager/wine steward was very helpful in assisting me with what to expect from different selections from their list.
The place was packed but service was extremely attentive, filling water and bread quickly.
The presentation of their suckling pig shoulder is a sight to behold. The taste was rich and delicious, with nicely textured cracklings and creamy butter beans on the tender long cooked shoulder.
Go family style with one of their entrees that is for more than one and the price is extremely reasonable for London.
For a British pub-feel restaurant in a non-foodie area of London, the food blew me away and was better than I expected. You can tell the chef puts a lot into his dishes and they were all fantastic. The lunch menu is well curated and offers a great sample of their beat dishes.
An amazing homemade chicken pie with a perfect suet crust (for two) was the highlight of our table's meal. Good food and more unusual dishes, such as fresh venison for four. The food was very good, but we found the strict adherence to the menu a bit uncomfortable. For example, meat would only be cooked as the chef recommended (which I'm sure is the best way, but made people not order what they'd have liked) and cream couldn't be served with a dessert. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great - there was a good buzz and it was quite loud. But the bar downstairs didn't look particularly special.

We were visiting my son in London and he took us to Great Queen Street for our last night out. It is indeed British Food, rather like food that is dressed up and told to behave for guests.
How ever this magic works, , it is works very well.
I would describe the the decor as comfortable. It is friendly, not fancy. It is completely congruent with the total experience.
The wait staff seemed to be there when needed without hovering. The one time I needed something I looked around to see the sever keeping an eye out. I just smiled and nodded and she came right over.
There were five. We ordered two dinners for two and one had a piece of fish. One dinner for two included tender, delicious roast beef with ham hock and a very well prepared risotto. The second dinner for two, which i did not order, was a chicken pot pie. That and the fish offering received similar reviews all around. It was all very English, but with an updated flair that was quite pleasing. If you live in London it is a great place to take visitors. Or just take those in your own circle.
Fine work by all at Great Queen Street.
Fantastic, cozy restaurant with a unique and upscale menu that features excellent Sunday Roast options (including some plates you need to order in advance if desired). The restaurant is large enough, so bigger reservations are not too difficult even at the last minute. The people are friendly and the food is wonderful. I recommend ordering plates for the table and eating as a group - very fun and friendly experience!
