    A great pub with tasty food. Particularly enjoyed the air conditioning on what was a very hot day. Friendly, helpful staff. Terrace looked lovely, but I was all about being out of the sun on that particular day :)

    This was the second time my boyfriend and I came here for a meal. We were here 3 years ago before a musical at the Novello, and decided to come back because it was so good the first time. If anything, it was even better than I remembered. I had the tagliatelle burrata and my boyfriend had a pizza (cant remember what kind). We had bruschetta to share for starter and a glass of wine and a beer. Everything was absolutely fab from start to finish. One of the nicest bowls of pasta I’ve ever had and the pizza was great too. Staff were so professional and friendly and there was a great ambiance attached. We ate outside as the weather was lovely but the decor inside is beautiful particularly downstairs. This was a birthday dinner as mentioned when booking on open table and without prompting an ice cream with a candle was provided, a lovely touch! Highly recommended and will be returning for a third time.

    We had an amazing time at the Holborn Dining Room. We tried the pies - lamb and chicken, crab tart, oysters, prawns, and the rib eye and all were wonderful. Service was top-notch and the beautiful interior set the mood for the evening.
