This public house has gone downhill so fast and so far in the last 12 months it is a wonder they have any (if they do have ) regulars left they must only exist on desperate passing trade would expound on this further but do not wish to be left open to a legal slanging match in all honesty AVOID unless alcoholic and desperate

Has the Wargrave changed hands recently? I've been disappointed with the service on my last couple of visits.

Went for a drink in this pub for the first time the other night having read some of the positive reports. Being honest the beer was fine, always a plus but the staff just were not interested. I read a previous report saying how friendly the young man behind the bar was, but not this time, he was`nt there obviously. The scottish lady behind the bar had a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp and was unpleasent to deal with. We just sat a enjoyed the beer. Its such a shame the staff on this occasion were rubbish, would have made all the difference.

Found this nice traditional pub tucked just of the Edgware road in W1. Was so pleasing to find pub staff that seemed to be pleased to see you. Got chatting to the nice guy behind the bar, Adam, he was very helpful and served us with a lovely couple of pints of Stella. The locals seemed friendly and it was like a home from home. Dont think we could ask for more, excellent friendly service & good beer.

I have used this place for over 10 years. They serve restaurant quality food here and the beer is good also. Gary is a great fun landlord.

Had an excellent evening in here on St. Patricks Day after unwittingly stumbling in to drown the sorrow of losing to the Welsh - didn't know the landlord was Irish. Splendid welcome - free stew and genial banter. Made to feel really welcome even to the extent that I was permitted to pour my own beer! If only all pubs were like this. Excellent Young's Special to top it off.

A decent pub, clean and comfortable. People seemed friendly enough, and the Youngs beer was suprisingly good considering I dont like Youngs much!

Nice old Youngs 'locals' pub. Always found it to be friendly and the beer good.
Usually nice and quiet if that's your thing.

Former Finch's pub, now a reasonably traditional Youngs pub. Worth popping in for one if in the area, but not worth going out of your way to find

The Wargrave is a splendid example of a traditional, well-managed, London pub – no gimmicks, no gastro just good quality food and drink served by friendly staff in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. It’s popular with a wide range of pub-goers, from local residents to occasional small groups of American and European tourists plus local office, hotel & casino workers. And on Tuesday evenings the back room is home to a flourishing chess club.

In an area full of interesting pubs, the Wargrave is one of the best. 8/10.

Young's Pub doing the usual range plus St George's Ale for the football tournament. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and good food which arrived quickly and was very palatable.

I shouldn't leave this out as I work next door. A lovely little pub that I'm emotionally and financially tied to. Gary the landlord put on a belter for St Paddys and makes a real effort. When I went in last week, they'd installed a ping-pong table for fun. A local's local. Try the alcohol and crisps.

This place is fantastic. Gary (the owner), the staff, and the crowd were all very accomadating, personable, and friendly. Gary made me and my friend feel so welcome and at home. I was in Europe for 10 days and the evening in the Wargrave Arms pub was my best memory of the trip. No kidding. Make it a point to visit!

Excellent Youngs pub. Best steak sandwich & chips
I've had in a very long time. Try this pub out if you're near Edgware Road / Marble Arch.

The food is outstanding and the landlord runs a friendly clean pub! I loved the Guiness!

Had my leaving do here, Gary was very accommodating, would recommend as a good pub

An very expensive pub to hang out though the beer and service are of a high standard. Oh, the food is home-cooked and pretty good.
vera_shaw - 22 Aug 2005 16:48
Clean and tidy pub. Good Youngs ales though my mates weren't impressed by the quality of the Guinness. Friendly staff and locals.

Very good food, great (if standard range) beer; great pub!

Called here for the first time recently. This pub had friendly irish barman and aussie chef. The food was home-made, fresh and delicious. The youngs special was expensive but perfect. A fine pub to drop into for an hour or so after work during the week.

They serve one of the best Sausage and Mash dishes I have ever tried. The staff and management are very warm and welcoming

Not a bad boozer, better when previous landlord was there, Ted. prices on par with the area, good selection of youngs cask ales, excellent wine list, drop in some time.

Went there Friday (2/7/04) evening with three mates. A pleasant, but distinctly average boozer in an average street with average bar staff. The Youngs beer (the ordinary bitter) was, er, average. Had it been a warm evening the seating outside would have been pleasant, but as it was it was cold and raining. The ordinary was £2.45 a pint and Fosters was £2.80, which I thought was pricey for a very average boozer.

Very good looking, efficent and pleasant staff. The real ale is superb and the haddock'n'chips is wonderful. Quality.

Youngs chocolate stout, frindly staff, nice comfortable pub. Food not as good as it used to be.

Fantastic standard of service in this pub, very friendly and attentive bar staff and a good all round atmosphere. By far the best of it's kind in the area.
vera shaw - 11 Feb 2004 14:45
Youngs pub, lotsa space and good drink. Best lunchtime food in the area. Check it out.
