The Pineapple in Westminster

Ah, The Pineapple, it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot, doesn't it? Tucked away in Victoria, it's dead handy for nipping in after a wander around Buckingham Palace or Westminster. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff are absolute gems – always up for a chat and making sure you're sorted, whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for the evening. The food's a standout too; those burgers and chips have folks raving, and at a fair price for the area, it's no wonder people keep coming back. Plus, with perks like the beer garden and being welcoming to dogs and families, it's got that community feel we all love. On the flip side, it's shut right now, which is a bummer if you're planning a visit, and it can get heaving at times, so you might end up playing musical chairs for a seat. Oh, and those weekend hours cut off a bit early, which could put a dampener on a late-night catch-up. All in all, though, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or a bite – I'd say give it a go when it's open, and you'll likely leave with a smile.
