Great Queen Street

I tried a place called Great Queen Street (on Great Queen Street, natch) near Covent Garden. I found the experience totally enjoyable.

It's a loud, "buzzy" gastropub, simply furnished with bare oak floors and tables. They serve basically British food, unpretentious but with a little flair, sometimes described with words like "sturdy" and "robust." Beef, lamb, pork - even wood pigeon. They also had a fish stew of some sort. My beef was very good and I also tried a taste the chicken pie, which was fantastic.

Even the restaurant reviews seem to be good.

The knowledgeable, efficient and very friendly service made our dinner a very pleasant experience, and even the bill wasn't too bad (for London at least). Overall, a good find.
