The Horse & Groom is a charming London pub with a warm, welcoming feel, great for rugby fans and casual meet-ups, boasting friendly service and a lively vibe, though prices can be a bit on the higher side.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
- The staff are absolutely brilliant – especially Jackie, who's known for serving up a perfect pint and always having a friendly chat, making you feel right at home.
- It's got a fantastic atmosphere, perfect for catching rugby matches with a lively crowd of locals from all walks, including South Africans who love the braai and special events.
- Drinks are reasonably priced and the bar is always well-stocked, with clean facilities that add to the overall welcoming vibe.
- Live entertainment and tasty treats like boerewors rolls make it a fun spot, and its handy location right by the station means it's easy to pop in after a day out.
Areas for Improvement
- Prices might feel a tad steep for some, as one person mentioned it's not the cheapest option around, even if the atmosphere makes up for it.
- Not much buzz about the food, with a few saying they've not tried it or seen plates that look good but haven't sampled them, so it might not be the main draw.
