| A small traditional pub at the west end of Shepherds Market, Shepherd's Tavern is probably the best of the 4 pubs in the market area. The bar area is fairly small with 10 or so tables and a few high stools. I was in on a Thursday lunchtime and most of the other customers were couples or small groups eating appetising looking lunches. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed and it was definitely a pleasant place to pass an hour or so reading the paper. Ales on offer werre Youngs, Bombardier, Spitfire and Broadside. I am not sure what this place would be like in the evenings - the market area is pretty popular for after work eating and drinking and the restricted space here may mean the bar area is quite cramped but other than that I would have no hesitation in recommending this pub for eaters and drinkers. murgatroyd - 1 Nov 2010 08:10 |
| Smallish single bar Punch Taverns pub set on a street corner within a stone's throw of Shepherds Market. It's rather unremarkable internally with a bare boarded interior and a mixture of banquettes and wooden seating. There's a reasonable amount of woodwork, but nothing really that is memorable in any way. Like most pubs round here seemingly, it's very much pitching for food trade from passing tourists and a standard pub menu is offered throughout the day. There's an upstairs restaurant which the pub describes as being housed in "a large antique pine panelled room". On my recent Saturday lunchtime visit, beers on were London Pride - £ 3.27p - and Greene King IPA at £ 2.50p. A third pump had its clip reversed. The London Pride was reasonable, but not good enough to stop me thinking that I should have gone for the 77p cheaper IPA. I did notice quite a few framed Cask Marque certificates behind the bar. I'm not marking this one down for an early return visit. JohnBonser - 17 Feb 2010 13:36 |
| Single room pub adjacent to the Curzon Mayfair which myself and a friend ducked into after a film. Pride, Courage Directors and Bombardier on cask, and rather disappointingly a music channel was on the telly rather than soccer saturday. If I was in the area again, I'd give it a swerve and duck into the Market Tavern nearby as it has a better selection of ales. ChrisP87 - 17 Jan 2010 09:32 |
| Nice pub exterior/ interior & good location. That's all the good points. I have to agree with previous reviews - the service is terrible. We (group of 6) arrive for a pub lunch on a Friday at 12.30 - then were told the kitchen is closed for another 20mins. We got the impression the staff don't give a sh$t - the barmaids are rude, the food when it eventually arrived was poor & cold. Not going here again, plenty more pubs in Mayfair to go to - shame. This place clearly needs a new manager & some decent staff then it might be ok. dmhendry - 16 Oct 2009 14:43 |
| Good location and attractive exterior. Pity about the rest. I give this pub a sero rating for it's poor quality of food and the lack of customer service. We were a party of about 12 people, all wanting drinks and food on Sunday 11 October. Although on the menu, there was no roast of the day and, although the pub wasn't particularly busy, we waited an hour for our meals which included a very mediocre microwaved steak pie and chips and a tepid Thai prawn curry that rivalled any supermarket ready meal for it's chemically enhanced flavour. Half of our food order was served to the adjoining table which resulted in an even longer wait for some of us. We ordered 4 pints of strongbow and were served Kronenberg which the bar staff refused to change, claiming it was our fault for not watching what was being served. There was no manager or anyone else in authority to take this up with. As we were preparing to leave to go elsewhere, they did offer to replace the drinks but needless to say we took our custom elsewhere and won't be returning. Nor would I recommend this pub to anyone else. A very poor service indeed. Jani2 - 12 Oct 2009 09:53 |
