The Sanctuary Pub

An old school pub that we happened across for breakfast, and happened to stay in for a fair few hours. The breakfast was tasty and fresh, with the full English going down well. The only gripe was the avocado on toast/bruschetta was an incredibly stingy portion size. A good selection of ales that were worked through, and the staff were friendly and engaging. We nearly ordered some pies, but were still too full from breakfast.

Atmosphere was perfect wood grain London pub feel. Terrific selection of draft ales. Bar food much better than expected. Staff was friendly and helpful. Quick to offer tastes. Was a block from our hotel. We went there 3 times in 2 days!

Full of character. Was a nice spot to stop for lunch, menu wasn't greatly varied but it is a pub.

Ok, where do I start again. Your prices remain stubbornly too high. The food is nice, but in the interests to keep costs down I elected for two small dishes. The salmon came in at £9.95 for something that can be put together for £3. A slice of bread, knob of butter salmon slices no side salad or garnish? The mini pie was nice, but again, you let yourselves down with sub standard quantity over quality vfm. Together with a pint, this meal cost £23.85. I’ve attached a photo which does the meals about as much justice as they deserve. They look rather plain yet stupidly costly. Turning to beer, how on earth can you justify £6+ for a 500ml bottle of ale? Wowzer, a supermarket does 4 of these at the same price. I like the Fullers brand, I like the food, but it doesn’t justify these prices, sorry.

Perfect pub. Friendly and service minded staff. The manager is very friendly, she is giving a fantastic service. The food is good and we will be back next time in London.
