please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I have spent many a late afternoon in here with work colleagues when visiting the West End.
I have always found the staff very friendly and helpful and the drinks have always been decent.
I once witnessed an old soak been ejected for lighting up inside which was quite amusing.
A perfect place for a couple of pints before you head off home from work.

Unfortunately one of the worst Fullers pubs i've been in. Food expensive and not up to scratch. The bar staff seem happy to ignore you, which isn't hard in such a dark and gloomy setting. Also had to wait sometime for the food and a beer as the staff were more focused on crossing the road to smoke!! What a complete let down!! Never again will I visit this pub. Well done fullers for not keeping an eye on your business.
|
Straight out of the box, self-assembly Fullers 'Ale & Pie House'. Nothing really wrong with it (if absence of character doesn't feature too highly on your list of desirable pub characteristics), but not much right either (except the beer which is always well kept if Fullers is your thing).
|
Below-average Fullers' pub. Rather dark and oppressive inside.
|
Serves a decent pint, although if you want food, I suggest you go elsewhere. I was in there 2 weeks ago, when a rat (or mouse?) came out of the kitchen into the pub. They said it was from the building site out the back, and they get quite a few of them now. They didn't seem too concerned. Then last week I had a 'Jack Horner Pie' for £10, which was supposed to be filled with sausage and bacon. When it arrived it only had 1 small slice of a sausage (and no bacon) - just filled with a load of vegetables. Did the mice eat all of their meat?
|
Pleasant and comfortable pub - I'd agree with GuideDog Saint, this is a good meeting point for gigs at the Astoria or indeed anywhere in the West End. Can't comment on the food, although looked ok on the menu!
|
Would have been a great place if the kitchen hadn't closed between placing orders for our party. It was 6pm on a Saturday. Who closes that early. Only one of us got to eat.
|
I liked it better when it was a bank.
|
Average pub, nothing that really makes it stand out from the crowd. As with all pubs in around here, best keep your valuables close to you as pickpockets and thieves are common in the area.

Was in here last night, second pub of a mini crawl. Main range of Fullers on I was told, I didn't go to the bar to check. Pint of Discovery was perfectly acceptable. Good pub for Central London and useful meeting place before gigs at the Astoria.
|
If Jack Horner was smelly, dull, slow and unwelcoming then this place has lives up to the name admirably. Every drinks taste bitter when bought from these clowns.
|
Good range of real ales and lagers. Friendly bar staff. They are currently taking bookings for Christmas!!
|
Interior is a mixture of traditional london boozer and trendy stlye pub with plush seats.
Barman seemed to have difficulty getting the orders right and the Discovery was pretty awful. I'm a Fullers fan normally...maybe it was just having an off night.
|
Nice looking and well kept Fullers Ale & Pie House located on Tottenham Court Rd opposite the Odeon cinema and close to the Dominion Theatre. London prices of course so it‘s not cheap, the famous pies are around £8-£9 but the quality of both beer and food is good.
|
Corner location Fuller's Ale & Pie pub. Solidly refurbished in Central London deep wood panelling. A popular place that feels quite safe - though some people were loud. Serves good food and beer. Five different Fullers/Gales beers on offer in good condition.
Mostly, though, the pub just lacks individual charm, and the music is very loud.
|
After sampling a fair few brews on our day out,
our last stop was The Jack Horner, unintenional last stop but at last We have found a decent pub in the Tottenham Court Road Area. Good Beer, Friendly staff and good surroundings, stayed a little longer than We anticipated but this could be due to the hostelry itself, or could be we couldn't risk another dire pub or beer in this vicinity.
|
Usual fullers pub type thing. Unfortunately Scrumpy Jack does bad things to me so I dont remember much about it, so must have been ok!
|
A great Fuller's pub. The normal good selection of Fuller's ales is on offer - ESB, London Pride, Chiswick Bitter, etc.
Very nice pub.
|
this pub's not at all bad; it's never too crowded and you can usually get a seat. predictably a bit studenty but relatively tourist-free. reasonable beer selection.
|
Good pint of Chiswick on my visit and the food was tasty and reasonably priced for the location. Staff were attentive and pleasant. Not particularly crowded on our visit which was a bit surprising for 1pm on an August Saturday. Would definitely make a return visit.
|
Saw someone served a pint of pride so cloudy it looked like it was straight from the sewer, when he complained he was told there was nothing wrong with it. Decided this wasn't a place to enjoy a good beer so left without ordering
|
Pretty good pub that ticks all the boxes whether it's for a quick pint, meeting friends, or grabbing some lunch. Good value and never too crowded. I don't know why but I wouldn't recommend it as a place to settle in for the evening. Get in there, have a couple, and move on.
|
Yep, its ok this gaff. Dunno why i like it, cos nothing in particular really stands out though?,...Maybe its good, cos its the first reasonable looking boozer you come across when you are trying to escape the mayhem around Tott Court rd tube. Full of tourists, but thats no biggie, and never rammo like the tottenham. Dispicable bogs, as is, "de riguer" in the locale!
|
I'd heard that this place now had disabled access and facilities, so I visited yesterday to check and sure enough it does. Nice one, Fullers.
|
I always seem to land here on weekday lunchtimes, when visiting London. Good position, pleasant and welcoming staff, freshly cooked food which is generous in its servings, and well kept ales. Also worthy of note is the wine selection. I find the food good value for money but bottled beers seem a little on the pricy side. Also very clean. I will certainly keep returning and would recommend this establishment.
|
A good Fullers Pie & Ale House. Superb Fullers Chiswick and good basic food at non-extortionate prices. Usually a good atmosphere straight after work a good place to unwind and sit-out rush hour.
|
Nice pub Im slowly beggining to become a fan of Fullers pubs and this one is a good advert for them

Definitely the best pub visited that day. Excellent Fuller’s beers on sale, reasonably priced for the area. Very busy on a Saturday evening but that helped to give the place a buzz. Hadn’t been in there for several years but I’d come back here again, no question. Traditional style Ale & Pie house with a good mixed clientele. Superb!
|
Good beer, but slightly odd atmosphere: alternately heavingly busy, and slightly deserted, depending on whether the crowd for the nearby Queen musical "We Will Rock You" are coming or going.
|
Not a particularly nice place but it does have the full Fullers range which is considerably better than a punch in the face. 6/10

Very crowded early evening. Good range of Fullers beers. What I found a problem was that the people who were standing at the bar did not make an effort to get out of the way or make any space for you to get to the bar. So you had to lean over them and shout over the top of their conversations, very frustrating.
|
rubbish pub.
full of suits, expensive and crap atmosphere.
|
Uh, its alright! A little expensive compared to fullers pubs nearby but its a nice place to sit and have a drink - the beer is decent quality and the service is good. Definitely worth a visit.
|
Okay for a quick drink, prompt service. Not too busy. Had a pint of Hoegaarden which was quite expensive (£4-00), friend had a pint of London Pride (£2-50). Staff friendly.

this pub has been rubbish for years - it lacks any kind of atmosphere.
|
Good looking male bar staff! Wow, what a reason to go in a pub..
Not a bad pub, has some decent beers, although the atmosphere is a bit chain pubby.

Relly nice pub with good looking male bar staff on weekday lunch times - nice change! Good food after improved menu and reasonably priced drinks compared to most central London pubs. Recommended.

I enjoyed a very nice early evening beer here recently. I would be careful of my belongings in most places in Central London.

Definitely be careful with your belongings in here - nearly had my mobile stolen just before christmas but then I think a lot of the pubs in this area have a problem with gangs of kids coming in to steal stuff.
Other than that, not a bad pub to relax in after a bit of shopping.
Simon - 24 Feb 2004 16:28 |
Agree with Jane but admittedly my visits are usually early evening whilst waiting for a film to start in Odeon across the road. Decent pint of Fullers or on my latest visit Timothy Taylors (guest?).
|
I think these comments are unfair. This is a nice and friendly pub but more importantly great beer. Since menu change the food is good with a great selection and very generous proportions.
Like anywhere in central London, there is a problem with theft therefore its only natural to watch your own handbags!
Jane - 7 Jan 2004 15:08 |
Friend had a bag nicked here. Tried to eat there but Jack's finger was still in teh pie by the taste of it. Crap.

Looks nice and Olde Worlde but my one and only time here a few Xmases back coincided with a cap wearing knuckle-dragger threatening to throw my mate "through the fucking window"... because he looked at him. As always, it's the people that ruin what could be a fairly decent place. Seemed full of tourists.

be careful with your handbags in here!
