Whether you’re a fan of the cricket or not, a trip to the Lords Tavern is worth the effort. Expect a relaxed silver service experience in the beautiful surrounds of St John Wood.

The Venue
A fully decked front patio provides a great chill out area in the summer to unwind with friends, and a welcome relief for smokers. Here you can admire beautiful scenery and marvel at the most famous cricket ground in the world.

As you enter the Lords Tavern, you’ll notice a display of polished glass and silverware displayed proudly on the tables. Seating is available for approximately 100 people; the venue can also be hired out for private functions and parties, and it’s recommended you book on busy international match days.

The Atmosphere
Fans of cricket will know that Lord’s is the mecca of the game. However, whether you’re a fan of cricket or not, it’s still worthwhile visiting the Lords Tavern if you’re in the area. On match days, expect to see the players enjoying a pint after their game, alongside die hard cricket fans. There will, of course, always be a few tired and emotional fans at the end of the day, but it’s all in good spirit here.

The staff are very friendly and will happily chat about the day’s cricket or anything else that takes your fancy.

The Food
Quality food made with care. The Lords Tavern offers up all your old favourites, including bangers and mash, and fish and chips - made with care and dedication. The chicken is corn fed and the vegetables are fresh and organic. Mains start at £10 and go up to £15, starters cost around £5 and desserts come in at the £4 mark. Be sure to try the chocolate tart sprinkled in caster sugar and served with fresh berries, which is a delicious choice to finish any meal.

The Drink
A good selection of lagers and wine is on offer at The Lords Tavern. You can try five different types of beer including Kronenbourg Blanc or, in the summer, try a jug of Pimms and lemonade. Lager starts at around £3.30 and wine £4.00, all the usual spirits are on offer and two real ales. A great selection from the wine list is the Pinot Grigio, which is light and a nice choice for a fish-based meal.

The Last Word
The Lords Tavern is simply cricket. Good food, great views and an excellent location appeals to cricket fans and those happening by the area – it’s definitely worth a visit.
