The Round House, Covent Garden Pub in London

1 Garrick St, London WC2E 9BF

About This Pub

Oh, The Round House in Covent Garden is one of those pubs that just feels like a proper British hideaway, with its unique rounded building and cosy nooks that make you want to settle in for a chat. I love how they've got a great range of drinks on offer, especially those Fuller's classics that are always spot on, and the simple food like toasted sandwiches really hits the mark for a quick bite. The staff are dead welcoming too, adding to that friendly atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a day out. On the downside, it's not the cheapest place – those London prices can add up quickly – and with no bookings, you might find yourself hovering by the door on busier nights. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a traditional pub experience in a buzzing location, but keep an eye on your budget and plan for a bit of a wait if things are lively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The cosy interior and that distinctive rounded facade give it a real charming, historical feel that's just lovely for a relaxed pint.
They've got a cracking selection of Fuller's beers and other drinks, always served cold and clear, which is spot on if you're a fan.
The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home, and the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming.
It's in a prime spot in Covent Garden, perfect for nipping in after a wander around the area or catching up with mates.

Cons

Prices are a bit on the steep side for drinks, like £19 for two gins, so it might hit the wallet harder than some other spots.
No table bookings due to limited space, which means you could end up waiting or standing if it's busy – not ideal on a packed evening.
The food options are simple and tasty, but with higher costs and potential crowds, it might not be the best for a full meal out.

Nice fullers pub. Clean, friendly, sparkly. Good location. Obv fullers beers, which is a personal preference, or not. Mine was well presented cold and clear. But of history Mrs T.

£19 for 2 gin and tonic, so not cheap. Nice pub though

Stopped here randomly on the lunch hour during a day-long walk around the city. Bright, welcoming space with a decent beer selection and a nice array of toasted sandwiches available (we had the ham and cheese - excellent.) The young man on duty was somehow managing to serve the entire pub single-handedly and still had to time to answer tourist questions ("what's a cask ale?"). High marks all round.

Howard Sewell

A nice traditional pub with an interesting history situated a couple of minutes from Covent Garden. Good range of drinks and a simple menu of burgers and toasties. Friendly atmosphere and nice and light interior. Prices typical for the area. £17 for glass of wine and a pint.

I went here for some dessert. It is an Italian restaurant. The place was full on a weekday night, but when I requested the staff that I was there for just a dessert and I won't take long, they accommodated me :) the tiramisu was nice! Would certainly love to visit again for some pasta :) good food, good ambience, great service!
