- Nathaniel FJuly 21, 2013Great pub. Amazing bangers and mash! Very authentic to the real thing. My wife had the fish and chips and said it was not as good as real England fish and chips.
Various burgers, fish and chips, shandies and ESBs - all good stuff, if not super inexpensive. Emily is our regular server; she's pretty fantastic.
Susan EvangelistMay 28, 2015Blue cheese burger and fresh steamed veges. The fat fries are good too.service is good and Warriors game on all the tvs
best beer pitcher selections/prices and you always gotta get a picture in the red telly booths outside! Bloody hell!
Brian BrittonAugust 18, 2014The Traditional British Dinner is great! The Yorkshire puddings are my favorite!
Rob OldnburgApril 4, 2014for a fun night on the town and one of the few places you can get an authentic British meal.

Monique DearJanuary 8, 2012The band that was playing tonight was really good!!! Played all the latest hits and had the crowed grooving!!
Andrew MarksJuly 13, 2017Decent selection of beers, but the inside is often very loud. If dining sit outside!
Ricky HobsonOctober 3, 2010Ask for Mike H (bartender). He knows everything about everything! Best bartender in SJ hands down!
San Jose EarthquakesJanuary 24, 2012Great place to watch the San Jose Earthquakes on gameday! Go Quakes!
Come support the soccer team sometime! Games on Sunday and we hit the Brit after
Brian ShivelyNovember 13, 2012Service was crap. It took the waitress 1.5 hrs to return our card. There was paper in the salt shaker. And whip cream on drinks that don't have whip cream.
The fish and chips are well worth the trip, and they serve proper Malt Vinegar with them
Jesse LesperanceMay 27, 2012Service on the back patio is very bad, seems almost like it doesn't exist
