Now picture the scene, I'm on a long overdue, long weekend break with my wife. My football team Manchester City are one game away from the biggest win in 44 years and arch rivals Manchester Utd are breathing down their necks, leaving no margin for error. Who'd have thought when we booked the trip months ago that the game would... More

One of the best experience ever . Very ettempting service , but not ever ettempting. The food was a kind of afrodiziac quality . I 've tried this for several different times , and I have to say that ,this is the quality what you don't find in many places . During the day , they are doing daily menu... More

Good for watching English football. Small food menu so you have to compromise between watching football and eating. Drinks prices high, but lower than in the nearby hotels. More

Was more like an English pub than others abroad. Food was typical pub grub and OK. Maybe a bit expensive More

Went there today, noticed that they gladly displayed their 4 stay review certificate from Trip Advisor. It was lunchtime and there were no tables free so I sat at the bar and ordered a drink. I was then asked to move my seat because another group wanted to sit together, which I gladly did. I sat there for a further... More

No complaints here at all. Right next to the Intercontinental and Sofitel, this pub has great food, an amazing drink/beer selection and friendly service. They also have free wifi and show sports all day on the TVs. It's non-smoking too! Stop in for a drink and enjoy! More

But the staff were very friendly, the beer was good, food very good. Free wifi was also a bonus. They had a couple of TVs showing different sports and music at a decent level so you could still talk. It's a couple of hundred metres from the famous Chain Bridge so once you've been blasted by the freezing winds off... More

I am really still in disbelief at the service we received here yesterday. The bar has a Trip Advisor 4 or 5 star rating certificate on the wall but that last thing this establishment wants for customers is tourists. As for indicating that it is an English bar, if you consider a few old paintings of London Bridge make a... More

When into the bar and order a drink, which I quickly drank and left. The place smelled of fried eggs. Can't comment on the food as I did not eat there. Usually English fare on the menu and satellite TV. Drink was more expensive than other "local" bars. Should have known better than to go into an "English" pub abroad More

Ok pub, Quite expensive for the area though. And they charge you 10% service charge even if you order your beers at the bar.. Speak prefect English when you enter, Suddenly when you question the service charge they no understand English.. Weird that. Look elsewhere, cheaper and better. Try a trofea, all you can eat and drink for 5000 huf More
