Nell Gwynne — Restaurant in London

Well definitely NOT what I expected. I was very much of the mind that this will be yet another rather sad tourist trap tucked away just off The Strand. What a wonderful surprise when I was met with a small, but politely enthusiastic crowd outside in Bull Inn Court enjoying the sunshine. It got even better inside what turned out to be quite a small pub but with so much of everything: the atmosphere was fantastic (the football was on, but nobody was going crazy), the staff and the drinkers were all happy enjoying the day, with the drinkers moving away from the bar quickly to allow others in to get there next drink, the décor was eclectic to say the least with lots of Nell Gwynne memorabilia on the walls throughout. There was even a free juke box on the wall in the left hand side corner as you enter (it does work, just press the red buttons).

A Hidden Gem in Covent Garden – A Must-Visit! We had an absolutely fantastic time at the Nell Gwynne Tavern! This charming pub is a true hidden gem nestled in the heart of Covent Garden. From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the jukebox – it’s amazing! A brilliant selection of music that kept the vibe lively and fun all night. The pub has a great mix of character, history, and just the right amount of energy. We enjoyed delicious charcuterie cups filled with a variety of cheeses and meats – a perfect snack to accompany our drinks. Speaking of drinks, the gin and tonics were spot-on – refreshing and well-made. Everything we tried was excellent, and it’s clear that care goes into both the food and drinks. Overall, the Nell Gwynne delivered on all fronts: fantastic service, top-notch snacks, great drinks, and a brilliant musical atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable pub...
