    Gringos beware! This place will rip you off. The beer prices are not clearly marked. Neither are the food prices on the menu. And if you look like a foreigner, guess what’s going to happen when you get the check? Everything you ordered will magically be the most expensive price. Avoid this place. Unless you enjoy paying double the cost. Also, the food wasn’t very good. You couldn’t pay me to return.

    We were pleasantly surprised with the friendliness of the staff and fantastic tasting food. We ordered Bandjan (so flavorful!) and Curry Ingles which had just the right amount of hot spice. They had menus in English and Espanola, and spoke English very well. Menus online were accurate with what was in the restaurant. I highly recommend.

    My experience here was not one of excitement, had me feeling like I wasted part of my night. The staff wasn't very responsive I had to actually go to the bar to request my drink. The bar itself isn't really up to standard it just looks like an old house between the others bars I wouldn't recommend even trying. The only plus was there are other better bars close by.

    A proper British pub! Fullers IPA on tap, decent bangers and mash on the menu and quality pool tables for free use. The whole place is decked out authentically and the owner, Piers, is an absolute gent. A must visit in Panama City

    We were in Panama City for 3 weeks. Our rule is to never go to the same place twice. But we really liked the staff and food. We ordered the fish and chips the first time and loved it. The second time we asked the waiter who was practicing his really good English with my wife's apparently good Spanish what he liked and he suggested we try the curry. Who knew an English Pub in Panama would have good curry.

    We decided to try this tonight. We are from Ontario, Canada. We met the owner, he chatted with us, very nice man 😃 We had bangers and mashed, and the sea bass. Ah-Mazing!! Great service, great food, and a/c! Will return 👍🏼

    Spent quality time here when visiting Panama. They make you feel welcome and take good care of you. Pierce, the owner, is an alright kinda guy. He was the most enjoyable part of my trip to Panama.

    Service was exceptional. I felt treated as an old friend. The steak was delicious and sweet potato fries just as they should be. Loved the experience!

  • 5/5 Doug T. 3 years ago on Google • 22 reviews
    The restaurant is open from noon until 9:00 pm. The food is delicious, and the service fast and the best. Wine, beer and mixed drinks are available. I highly recommend the Londoner for lunch and/or dinner. 👍🏼

    I went here solo after a sweaty, miserable experience at a nearby spot caused me to leave cash on the table for my beer and depart. At first glance my hopes were low, but the AC was pumping, and the manager fella was gracious, replied to my abysmal Spanish in English, served me pickled beets as an amusé, DARK, DRAFT beer (yes, dark beer in PC, and it wasn’t Negra Modelo, which is a perfectly fine beer, but…), and grilled fish that didn’t disappoint. If you’re not oft in PC it may seem disingenuous to hit up a British joint, but..? Leaving a pic of the dark, draft beer so you won’t call me a liar.

    (Translated by Google) The site is fine, I would only highlight as a negative detail that they did not give us the account in writing, but in word. There was no ticket. (Original) El sitio está bien, sólo resaltaría como detalle negativo que no nos dieran la cuenta por escrito, sino de palabra. No hubo ningún ticket.

    Brilliant pub a must for all yanks, euros and everyone else. A couple of pool table and suprisingly good grub too., get yourself down to meet Pearse, you won't regret it. Actually you will but in the good way.

  • 5/5 Jay S. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited here in the spring, and will echo the previous reviews - good food, reasonably priced, and very friendly staff. Piers was, however, the highlight. Was a little slow at the time, so he took the time to tell me about the history of the place, what's it like for an ex-pat to own a restaurant in Panama City, and of course some serious discussion about English Premier League football! I will definitely stop back in next time I'm in Panama City. Which may or may not be in about a month!

    The geezer who owns called Pierce was a Diamond. I went mad over the Sheppard's Pie which I hadn't had in nearly two decades. It felt like eating a proper dinner after porridge inside

  • 5/5 Mary E. 2 years ago on Google
    So friendly and helpful to a very lost American. Thank you for such wonderful hospitality and fish and chips!!!!!

  • 3/5 Holly S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing meal, gone downhill post-pandemic. The pesto on my fish was non-existent and when I asked for more it was more of a vinaigrette and had an effervescence like it was going bad. Maybe that was why there was none on my fish but then take it off the menu. Won't be going back.

  • 2/5 Amir M. 9 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Came here to see if I might find a decent fish and chips. God awful. And you'll pay a premium for the privilege. The soggy texture of the fish reflects its short unfortunate journey from deep-freezer to deep-fryer. The owner and staff are all miserable and unfriendly, like they know they are on a sinking ship and serving overpriced garbage while they still can. The Wallace is much better, which explains why it's never empty at 8pm on a Friday night like this place was. Go there instead if you want some decent UK food.
