I love this place! They have best fish and chips ( steak cut fries). Homemade tartar sauce is so thick and creamy. Also the Shepherds Pie - it’s so delicious.

A fantastic British pub—definitely a classic spot in Santa Monica. I had the Sunday roast, which was absolutely delicious and came in a generous portion. My only wish is that they offered cask ale.

I just went to the shoppe and found the china pattern that my mom had on her dishes, which she bought and had shipped home from England in 1986. She recently passed away so it was like a little hello from her

What a throwback to mother England herself. The atmosphere truly sets the tone when you enter and the accents of the staff are delightful. The food was amazing. I wish I knew about this place sooner!
