Look what has happened since 2005 (the last reviews)
Just got back from London yesterday and I couldn't wait to write this review. This pub was just a few blocks away from the hotel so I tried it.
This pub's staff were horrible. The blonde girl behind the counter had a less than friendly attitude and the guy actually tried to talk us into leaving! Walked out within minutes of entering, not even willling to try a pint after that those attitudes.
STAY AWAY!

Yikes, the Fosters has gone up!
Shepherds Tavern is an excellent pub, the barmaids are all worth one and I always enjoy myself there.

Shepherds Tavern is easily the most relaxed pub in Shepherd's market, it can get a bit full on football night but the mood is generally very good. The food's not amazing but they do sell Nobby's nuts.

The Shepherd's Tavern is a great pub. It's small, friendly and reasonably priced (Fosters = £2.09).

It has recently been refurbished to remove the old red carpet and weathered seating so that it is now a clean and smart place to drink. It still manages to retain a traditional English feel to it. If you don't like football, don't come on a big match night but don't let that put you off the place.

The bar snacks are slightly expensive but very pleasant and I haven't yet tried the restaurant menu but I've heard that it's decent.

It is undoubtedly the best pub in Shepherd's Market, but then only, O'Neills, Ye Grapes and The King's Head are here to rival it.
