Horse & Groom in Westminster

You know, I've got to say, the Horse & Groom really stands out as one of those pubs that just gets it right for a laid-back evening out. Tucked away in a charming cobbled mews near Belgrave Square, it's got this warm, inviting feel with traditional wood panelling and etched glass that makes you want to settle in for the night. The staff are absolute stars – they're efficient, chatty, and go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable, whether you're popping in for a quick pint or staying for a full meal. Speaking of which, their home-cooked food and fine selection of ales and wines are spot on, and it's all served with that genuine hospitality you don't always find these days. Plus, the Beatles history is a brilliant touch; it's like getting a free history lesson with your drink! On the flip side, it's a small spot, so it can feel a bit cramped when it's busy, and if you're after something more modern or spacious, it might not quite hit the mark. Still, for anyone wanting a proper traditional pub experience without the big-city hustle, I'd recommend giving it a go – it's one of those places that leaves you with a smile and a promise to return.
