Lord's Tavern - London

Dropped in for lunch. Had an excellent lamb pie and sea bass. Very tasty and well seasoned and very sensibly priced. If you are visiting Lords, then eating at the Tavern makes a lot of sense.

Met a couple of friends here for a few drinks and a meal while staying up the road at the Danubius hotel. The pub is spacious with several TVs showing sports and being situated right outside Lords cricket ground is ideal for a tour of the famous stadium as well as a stroll around Regents park. The food and service was good although some of the seating is a little thread bare and overall we enjoyed a good experience.

I’m not one to write a bad review based on one bad experience but this is my exception. We had a wonderful tour of the cricket ground and decided to finish off the experience with a drink and lunch at the tavern. It was not busy at all. We ordered a drink from the bar then order our two mains for lunch. Time was not an issue as we are on holiday and the Lords experience was very positive. We ordered wine to compliment our lunch and that’s when it all went pear shape. My husband’s meal arrived then the waiter went to get his cutlery but when he didn’t bring me any cutlery I thought there might be a problem as why wouldn’t he bring cutlery for both meals, even if one was still to be delivered? This waiter had taken the order for both mains. I urged my husband to start before his meal got cold then eventually my husband went to the female bar attendant to query the lost meal. She left the bar to seek an answer. Our waiter came over eventually and tried to blame computer problems, but the restaurant was not crowded and he took the order for two meals so why wouldn’t he query the absence of one meal? I have to say the female bar attendant was the only one to show any concern. Our waiter was “lost in space” , the two supervisors? useless with one spending more time sitting down. Finally I noticed a person who I thought could be the manager, who was concerned about the lack of water bottles available none offered to us or the tables around us). He was removing dirty plates and showing some interesting in the customers by engaging with them. Something neither of the “lanyard “ people did. My husband spoke to him, cancelled my order, and did receive an apology and his meal was free. We were not after a free meal just a lunch to highlight our Lords experience. As previously stated it was not busy so that can’t be an excuse. The “lanyard” people were lazy, never interacted with customers, never queried if everything was alright and frankly “couldn’t be bothered”. Obviously they don’t know how to work the room. So disappointing.

Absolutely amazing service all night and can’t wait to come back. Harpreet made us feel so welcome and is an absolute legend. When you have so many choices in the area, service like here makes you want to come back!

I came for drinks with some friends. It was very busy but the service was amazing. Two members of staff were outstanding, they were Tia and Harpreet. Tia was amazing behind the bar and served everyone quickly and professionally, Harpreet, who I believe was one of the managers, was the kindest, most professional person I have ever met. While working and serving he found time to come over and make me and my friends feel so welcome and looked after. He is a credit to the business. I would highly recommend spending time at the lords tavern.
