    Great experience. Made reservations ahead of time for dining area for a party of 5. Fish stayed crispy the entire meal, never getting soggy.

    My most favourite pub in London. Family owned and incredibly friendly! The food was amazing and there was an amazing range of beers on tap. Really authentic and lots of room.

    Decent place for a pub lunch just off Oxford Street, with outside tables and fair prices for the area. The fish and chips was very good, with a large portion of flaky, battered fish, not too many chips and just a dollop of mushy peas. Friendly service with it.

    Ordered via the app on one of the outside tables. Unfortunately it seemed to be more efficient to order inside the establishment itself. Asked inside about the progress for the 2 drinks and was informed that the staff hadn't noticed our online order. Once this was mentioned the drinks were brought out promptly. Drinks were well made and staff was friendly, albeit the drinks were rather expensive considering you could easily find an Aperol Spritz for £3 less straight off of Oxford Street. (I say this as we did).

    Great pub just off the tourist shopping hell that is Oxford Street. Great staff, good selection of drinks and most importantly some great disco classics on the sound system to make you feel good. The perfect antidote to a cold wet dark winter's night.

    I came across this cool pub while looking for a fish and chips place that was recommended. The menu looked pretty good here so we sat down and ordered. A pretty good portion for 1 person and it was very tasty. My kids ordered the Mac and Cheese and raved about how it was the best Mac and Cheese they river had. Nice place for a sit down family meal.

    First, the good. The patio was comfortable, the staff were friendly and there was a great selection of cold beer. Now the bad. There were some great options on the menu, unfortunately by the time we arrived at 6pm everything we wanted was sold out and we had to settle for burgers and chicken burgers. The chicken was a little dry and didn't taste all that great. The burger was just alright, very forgettable and would not order it again if I had the choice.

    I visited the lamb and flag on James st today, and the pub had such a good atmosphere. The bar staff was very friendly and polite, especially mo he was extremely helpful and I felt very welcome. 10/10 I would definitely recommend to anyone !

    Visited this pub and the atmosphere is brilliant! ordered a fish and chips which was served by a very lovely (and quite handsome) lad. He was very kind and efficient at his job and he made my experience at this pub unforgettable. I had to get his name as his service was just so impeccable. Thank you Haroon!

    Fantastic service - When we arrived we asked if we could watch the England v NZ rugby match, the woman behind the bar couldn't have been more helpful. She arranged a table upstairs for us, turned the match on and bought our drinks to us. We didn't eat but the food we saw looked good. We had a lovely relaxed time and will definitely return.

    Nice pub with plenty of seating areas both inside and out. Food served too.

  • 5/5 Elmina H. 7 months ago on Google
    A great pub. The atmosphere is great and vibrant. The pub is always busy, but the service is friendly and efficient. The staff is happy to make recommendations, and they're always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience. Overall, is a great option for anyone looking for drinks. I highly recommend it!

    A solid recommendation from a friend! Delicious steak and ale pie. Came out quickly and was piping hot. So tasty! The ales were a nice addition to the meal as well. A great experience for the tourist.

  • 5/5 Sage C. 5 months ago on Google
    We stopped by this bar for a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised! Mixed drinks and wines were very enjoyable. Good prices, great drinks, and amazing service! Would recommend to anyone stopping by for a few drinks and looking for a cute pub atmosphere. Very cute location and central to popular areas in London. 10/10 recommend!

    I doth declare, the Lamb & Flag, a venerable Georgian-era establishment, hath proven to be a haven amidst the bustling streets of London! The tavern was teeming with patrons, and we thought naught that we would find respite within. But, to our delight, we secured an order in timely fashion, and what's more, they accept contactless payment, a most modern convenience in a place steeped in history. Within the modest confines of the main hall, we found a solitary table for our party. Alas, a chair was scarce, and we pondered our predicament. Yet, fortune smiled upon us, for the neighboring table's occupants, kind souls they were, noticed our plight. With mirth and warmth, they proffered a spare chair, and camaraderie blossomed in that humble corner of the Georgian-era pub. As for the standing room outside, there were ample spaces, and a few tables awaited those who preferred the open air. The geniality of the Lamb & Flag's patrons, dear compatriots, did add an extra layer of charm to our evening's experience. A resounding huzzah to such conviviality and the modern convenience of contactless payment!

    As usual the Lamb & Flag was a great hangout place in St. Christopher's Place. Unfortunately, I made a mistake of ordering their Cheese Burger! There was so much fat in the meat that I thought I was battling with sticky plasticy gum with the 'beef'. Why do people try so hard to spoil your lovely Sunday outing?

  • 4/5 Polina L. 4 months ago on Google
    Great! They had the most important thing this season which many establishments are missing - mulled wine! And they were playing Spice Girls, what else do you need on a freezing winter eve! 😀 Didn't eat there, happy to come back and try the food👍

    I booked weeks in advance for a family reunion. I travelled from the Netherlands and through London to have lunch. When I turn up I see a sign saying the kitchen is closed today on the door. I wasted my morning travelling across London to only be informed by a note on the door isn't acceptable. They should have contacted me so I didn't have to waste my time. Not good service.

    The first floor room is quiet and spacious, too bad did not take a photo. Impressed with the interior look. Bar is packed as expected located in Central London.

  • 3/5 Rahul N. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent pub in the center of all the hustle bustle. Service can be better. Beer/ drinks are usual fare at the city premium pricing. Music got annoyingly loud where I couldn't hear myself speak. Place was crowded with people so clearly an after office hours place, but I don't see a point in visiting here again. Too loud to be a pub.

  • 1/5 Peter K. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I visited the Lamb and Flag a couple of Sundays ago. Sat outside enjoying the sunshine and atmosphere of this part of the West End. Had a drink and a ‘Sharing’ dish which was delicious. Excellent service with very friendly and professional staff who made us feel very welcome. Will definitely make this a regular visit when we are in the West End. Pete

  • 5/5 Arwind J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub with decent selection of drinks. The location is excellent right off Oxford Street and close to Bond Street tube. The outside area has some seating and the best part is the open courtyard it shares with neighbouring establishments. Great atmosphere on a sunny day.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has massively benefited from its refurb (shame the outside signage and finish doesn’t match!) but mainly wanna give a shout out to surely the MVP, Charlotte. What a legend of a bartender - on her game, great chat, super efficient and practically able to drive the buzzy vibe of the pub single handedly. Rest of the team great but Charlotte is an absolute standout

  • 5/5 Visible A. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service. Charlotte was a fantastic server and the pub is very welcoming. Would recommend a visit for tourist or local alike for an enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 Dai T. 2 years ago on Google
    A traditional London street corner pub offering the usual ales and pub fare. Customer service could do with a revisit unfortunately. Other than that it was a perfectly reasonable visit. It will be good to visit when the mood is better. A new visit and a most delightful one. Staff were excellent, beer was brilliant. A great visit. Never write anywhere off. , A lovely fun pub.

    Beer? 5 stars Food - negative 3…. Chicken and bacon sandwich last evening there. Stale bread, THIN small slice of chicken, 1/3rd piece of bacon. Ugly…. Salad? Inedible. I looked around the place as we left the place. NO ONE else was eating - just beer…. I understand why. This is a chain of different pubs w different names. We had been to another on the other side of Oxford - and it was good. The owner needs to take a look at the kitchen in this place.

  • 1/5 Samuel O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice pub but really surprisingly bad service, a massive sense that the waitress just didn't give a sh** Didn't have to do much to deliver drinks, but just did so with a bad attitude. The one other staff interaction we had was also quite abrupt. Sadly paints an unfairly bad picture of Green King- had this been my first visit) Staff training required

  • 1/5 Giannis G. 2 years ago on Google
    Maybe the worst food served on this planet! We tried the beef sirloin (Sunday roast) which was impossible to eat! If the owner ever see this, tell the dudette behind the bar to smile every once in a while! Peace.
