One of my favorite meals in London. We were staying in the City of Westminster for seven days and I had used google maps to scope out several places for food and drink. The images of the pies paired with different ales intrigued me so I had picked this place as a destination. The Jugged Hare was everything I wanted it to be. Instead of a long established pub location it was originally a bank, with a very different facade. However, the interior was remodeled with lots of nice wood and uniquely includes a mezzanine over the bar, giving it a very nice space. There is also restaurant seating but my family and I chose to sit in the bar. The Flight of Pies (pictures included, they termed it the Pie tasting board) were delicious. I knew I would enjoy the steak and ale pie, but found I really loved the Stilton and sweet potato pie. I also enjoyed the parsley liquor as I rarely get a chance to have that in Texas, it was great with the chicken curry pie. They have a large selection of beer but I stuck with cask London Pride, which is something else I can't get in Texas.
As for prices, some of the other reviews I've seen have ranged everywhere from expensive to fair prices for the value, we were in vacation mode and paid little attention to pricing so I have little input on that except to say that it seemed typical of our trip. They did not have a kids menu so we ended up ordering the half pound burger for my 10 year old son, he ate the whole thing. My wife had the fish and chips and nodded approval. We walked back to our room a happy family. Great location. Great...
Read moreThe Jugged Hare 🚇 Victoria 🍺 £6.35 Asahi ❤️ Former Natwest bank, converted to a pub back in 1996. . Nowadays you can often find faint remnants that a building was once a pub, but it’s always nice to see when the conversion goes the other way. Positioned halfway between Pimlico & Victorian Tube stations you will find the @juggedharesw1 . As mentioned, this former bank turned pub was converted back in 1996 and what a beautiful place this is. The pub has an imposing Portland Stone facade with four columns and two metre high windows. Inside the grandeur continues with beautiful paintings, a massive ornate chandelier, stunning woodwork and who doesn’t like a red pub carpet. The service here was great too, really friendly and the manager took time to make sure my son and I were being looked after. Ok, the beer price was over the six quid mark but would happily pay that again. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, the pub wasn’t too busy at that time. . I must admit, I was in awe of how impressive this @fullers boozer is. I have been to a few bank to pub conversions and I must say that this Victoria pub made an impression on me, what an excellent pub. . 📊 Information correct on...
Read moreI recently arranged a Christmas lunch for over 30 adults at The Jugged Hare. Elise guided me through the process which could not have been smoother, was very accommodating with my many requests and made everything a breeze.
Myself and my guests arrived on the day to a beautifully decorated balcony, with great little touches like Santa hats and a place name for each person with what they had ordered. The staff were hugely accommodating with meal service times and the bar service was very speedy while we waited.
The food was some of the best pub food I’ve ever eaten. Considering there were so many people each having 3 courses I was massively impressed with what we were served. The beef bourguignon in particular was delicious. Many compliments to the chef!
The lovely Elise was on hand all day, as well as the bar manager (whose name I’ve forgotten but you were fabulous, thank you!) and the incredibly hard working bar staff. We enjoyed the pub so much we ended up staying all night and having a great time.
I couldn’t recommend The Jugged Hare enough and am already looking forward to going...
