Punch & Judy in Westminster

Ah, the Punch & Judy – it's one of those classic London spots that just feels like a warm hug when you step inside, especially if you're after a proper pint and some tasty pub fare in the bustling Covent Garden area. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food really shines, with rave reviews for their Sunday roasts and seasonal specials that hit the spot every time, and the service is spot on, with staff who go out of their way to make your visit memorable. It's got that lovely historic vibe, dating back to the 1700s, and extras like a beer garden and being dog-friendly make it a go-to for a relaxed afternoon or evening with friends. On the flip side, though, it can get absolutely packed, so you might find yourself jostling for a table or dealing with the stairs between levels, which isn't ideal for all. Plus, if you're there later, the food might not be as fresh as hoped, and the child booking limit could cramp your style for family plans. All in all, it's a solid choice for a fun night out, but I'd say it's best to plan ahead and go with the flow to make the most of it.
