The Clachan in London

Ah, The Clachan – it's one of those classic London pubs that really captures the spirit of the city, tucked away in Soho with its 1898 Victorian charm and original features that make you feel like you're in a bygone era. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's a top spot for enjoying a perfect pint and some hearty pub fare; the fish and chips sound spot on, all crispy and flavoursome, and don't get me started on that sticky toffee pudding – pure comfort in a bowl! The service shines through in a few accounts, with staff going the extra mile to make your visit enjoyable. On the flip side, it's not all roses; a few folks have had off days with meals that were underwhelming, like a steak pie that was more crust than substance or burgers that were a bit dry, and the place can get rammed, especially for tourists, which might slow things down. Overall, with a solid 4.3 rating, it's worth a visit if you're in the area for a relaxed meet-up, but maybe keep expectations in check for the food and plan for it being bustling – that way, you're in for a treat without any surprises.
