Rudds — Restaurant in London

Stayed a few hours here while we had a conference across the road. This is a lovely modern pub but with that 'Victorian' feel due to the use of tasteful shades of grey in the decor and furnishings.

All in all, this place seems to be fit for beer and beer only....

We were clearly confused on where the Thai restaurant was and the guy was very friendly and showed us the way to the stairs and we took our drinks upstairs. The restaurant had just the chef to cook and wait tables and he was very friendly and the food tasted great. A bit weird when you're not expecting that setup with the pub but once we were there we loved it. Again, super friendly bar and chef upstairs and we felt very welcomed and comfortable the...
