Covent Garden's favourite pub
Nestled in the heart of Theatreland, spans five floors of history and charm.
Steeped in connections to the legendary Bow Street Runners, London’s first police force, this iconic venue, dating back to 1763, offers the perfect setting for your next celebration. Whether it’s a couple of pints watching live sport, relaxing in cosy nooks in the main bar, or hosting an event in one of our many private spaces, we have something for everyone. Indulge in a menu that brings together the best of pub classics, from golden, crispy fish & chips to irresistible sharing platters and everything in between, not forgetting the best Sunday roast in Covent Garden.
Discover your year-round, mood-lifting haven in Covent Garden – the top-floor roof terrace boasts jaw-dropping West End views and a serene, slightly-hidden-away vibe, complete with awnings and heaters so you can sip cocktails in style, rain or shine. The Records Room? Your go-to, laughter-filled, sing-your-heart-out karaoke corner (yes, embarrassing high notes totally welcome). The Constabulary on the second floor is hands-down the most swoon-worthy spot in Covent Garden for private dining, while our first-floor bar and terrace are like a lively, open-armed extension of the main pub downstairs, perfect for everything from casual catch-ups to slightly-more-serious celebrations.
Ascend to the roof terrace
Summer’s landed in Covent Garden – and trust us, there’s only one place you’ll want to be. Head upstairs to our roof terrace, where the sun’s shining, the vibes are high, and the streets below feel a world away.
Our Spritz menu has officially entered the chat (and yes, it’s the drink of the season), so grab a glass, kick back, and let the city buzz beneath you while you sip in style. Whether you’re topping up your tan or just here for the people-watching with a twist, this is your go-to spot for sun-soaked mischief and seriously good times.
Planning a party?
Whether it’s a birthday bash, engagement party, business meeting or even hen do, we’ve got the perfect place for any celebration. Boasting five floors of stunning pub space, you’ll struggle to find a pub with more going on.
Our drinks packages are available to get the party started, and our party packages are perfect to keep everyone going into the night.
Food & Drinks
From hearty pub classics like our fish and chips and burgers, to modern favourites like our tacos, our chefs use the best of the British seasons to create our unique menus. Every dish is created with flair, and packed with bold flavours making our menus different to any pub around.
Pair your meal with our renowned selection of ice-cold beers, creative cocktails, and, of course, the best margaritas in town. Whether you’re here for a casual bite or a night out, we’ve got something for every craving.
Covent Garden's best pub
Whether it’s enjoying one of our pub classics like fish and chips or a burger in the main pub, booking out the first floor and terrace for a private party, presenting in a work meeting in our private room, singing your hear out in the Records Room, or soaking up the sun on the rooftop… (catches breath) we really do have it all!
Sunday Best
Look no further for the best Sunday roast in Covent Garden.
Tender cuts of meat (and of course veggie options), crispy roasties, fresh seasonal vegetables, giant Yorkies and lashings of proper gravy.
Live Sport
From football to rugby, cricket to horse racing, if you’re looking to catch any live sport from the pub – and let’s face it there’s no better place to watch sport, you’ve come to the right place.
With SKY & TNT playing on screens throughout the pub on all floors, you’re spoilt for choice. Let us know what fixtures you want to watch and we’ll do our best to get you front row seats.
Ascend to the Rooftop
Cocktail flights at dizzy heights, our margarita flights are best enjoyed on the rooftop, overlooking the West End.
Whether you’re booking for after work drinks with a few friends or booking the rooftop exclusively for a celebration, there’s space for up to 35 guests to soak up the sun.
