Really nice pub in a grand old building , loads of character. The teainfused ale was a surprise hit, Good range of drinks overall, something for everyone. Staff were friendly, helpful, and just made the place feel welcoming. Would definitely go again.
A truly charming English pub! The ambiance and interior have a wonderfully retro feel, almost like stepping back in time. I really appreciated the atmosphere. The beer selection is noteworthy, with a great variety to suit all tastes. The service wasn't particularly attentive during our visit, but this might have been due to the rather early hour. Overall, a positive experience, especially for the atmosphere and the choice of beers
A relatively fancy pub, attracting a mix of sit-in diners and groups standing around the bar. Lively atmosphere & charming interior. Busy on a Satuday afternoon, so would recommend reserving a table in advance if you want a meal.
The steak and ale pie was alright but not worth the £19 price - have had a lot of better pies elsewhere. My friend really enjoyed their fish and chips though.
Probably the best Fuller’s pub I’ve been to. The selection on tap is mostly the same as you’d expect, but The Old Joint Stock Pub stands out for a few reasons: The bar staff were really friendly and welcoming, which is always a pleasant surprise for Londoners visiting other cities in the UK—and definitely appreciated. The food was also great.. Classic pub food done well and with an interesting twist - we had the macaroni bites, chicken and roast potatoes with marmite, plus a cub sandwich, washed down with Frontier and Guinness. The pies looked great too. Despite being a city centre pub, it had a relaxed vibe with excellent service bringing the food to the table, cutlery, etc. It’s clear they take service seriously. Another unique aspect of the pub is the theatre upstairs, which adds to the uniqueness. Even though it’s owned by a brewery chain, it has its own distinctive style. The decor is well thought out, with a lovely connection to its history, and there are no TVs or other elements that can ruin classic pub old interiors.The other customers were a mix of colleagues after work, dates, and small groups of people— all respectful. There was a nice buzz about the place, but it wasn’t hectic or frustrating to get served. We stayed for about an hour and a half and had a great time.
After seeing The Old Joint Stock Pub & Theatre on social media we just had to visit.
As soon as you walk through the door, the decor and huge glass dome above takes your breath away. The decor is very opulent.
We dined on the upper floor.
The food was very well presented and the pie for two to share was super tasty.
One of us has dairy allergy and the staff were very attentive and pointed out various dishes which had certain dairy requirements.
I would give more stars if I could.
All round, our visit was perfect in every way.
A big thank you to all staff and I can guarantee that we will return 😀
