The Lauriston — Restaurant in London

I came to this pub after a stormzy event finished in Victoria park on Friday, the staff here are just something else!!! Kind, considerate and just all round wonderful human beings! When first arriving in the pub I went to the bar to order drinks, my bank card kept declining and I realised I needed to transfer from one account to another and just at that moment my phone died and I could not transfer, the boss who was serving me was very kind and told me not to worry and let me have the drinks. Then suddenly I was seperated from my 18 year old son and had a dead phone, no funds available, couldn’t order a cab, hotel over an hour away in walking, sheer panic set upon me, a young man who worked the bar saw the horror on my face and stress and approached me, he consoled me, took my phone, charged it up for me, whilst it charging he kept checking in on me to make sure I was ok and then gave me my phone with some battery, I was then able to pay for the drinks, call my son and get a cab to my hotel.This young man really saved my skin that night, his kind and caring nature I won’t forget! The staff in this pub and just beautiful and kind human beings! Thank you so much for your kindness towards a girl in need! You have a lovely pub and that rum went down a treat! Thank you! When I return to London I will return back to the pub! Please send my thank you to that young man who helped me! You...

Horrific! Avoid at all costs on a Sunday unless you enjoy being sat amongst a children's pizza party...to watch the football...in a pub...on a Sunday! Partner booked a table for 3 people to watch the 2pm kick off, arrive to the shrill screeches of inumerable entitled kids, and no screen switched on in sight. Ask for our table, to be directed into a corner booth entirely flanked by a booking of approx 40-50, of which, no less than half were children screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs. I asked if they were going to be showing the football as that was why we had booked and kick off was in 4 mins. Ah, obviously they had a children's party right where the projector screen is, why didn't I think of that?! Ultimately the pub should have let us know this was going to be occurring so we could have made a decision with all the information and booked elsewhere. Not gonna lie, my one day off this week has been totally ruined, not so much by the children's party, as by the lack of a heads up from the pub....

Nice enough pub but terrible pizza. I am not even sure how they make it so bad considering they have a wood fired oven in the pub. Quality wise it sits somewhere between a Papa Johns and Pizza express, neither are particularly edible when sober. It's also company policy not to substitute toppings so when I wanted one of their pizzas without meat on it I still had to pay 50p extra to get tomato sauce on it, considering the meat would have cost more it felt mean spirited (as does the 50p charge on cards). When I pointed this out the barman said there was nothing he could do, it was company policy and he was just doing his job, thats the same defence the SS guards used in the Auschwitz...
