Hired Blue Lion for my 60th birthday bash recently on a Saturday.

The quality of venue, food, drink and service were wonderfully received by the 110 guests. It is welcoming but not quaint or scruffy, but not hideously over-themed or tacky like so many gastro-pubs.

It is also ideally located if you have people travelling from all points around London - and beyond.

Manager Cheryl was extremely pleasant, helpful and efficient - a pleasure to do business with.

I can't recommend it highly enough. I believe many of my friends will now think of using the place themselves.

My son and I had a joint birthday party here on a Saturday night in Sept. We booked the whole place for our party, so more than ample room for our 80+ guests, a dance floor and pool table as well. The food platters were tasty and plentiful. Great value for money!! The owners and the staff are really helpful and friendly - they made the whole evening a real success. I would definitely host another party here.

Great food, very friendly staff with a 'not a problem' attitude. Changed hands about 18 months ago, new owner a breath of fresh air. Good selection of drinks, can be busy on a Friday night, relaxed the rest of the time.

Am lucky enough to work across the road from this pub and spend alot (probably too much) time in it.

Staff are amazing and a real laugh.. you can tell the pub is good cause the staff stay for a drink there even after they finish their shift.

Food is great and a good selection of beer and real ales..and the barmaid does a WICKED snakebite

well worth a vist!!

This is truly one of the best pubs I have had the opportunity to frequest on my six month stay in the BrownLow Mews which is on the same block of the pub. I had the opportunity to frequent the pub during the time it switched ownership. The current ownership has transformed this pub to one that you are sure to enjoy. It has a very friendly staff; the owner is terrific and easy to get along with. Along with the beers, the food is also great. The atmosphere is rather very easy going and friendly all-around. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone who whish to enjoy a fine environment in Central London.

This pub changed hands recently and it's super! Out have gone the TVs and quiz machines and in a really cool decor, homemade food that is to die for (try the burger), good music and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
