  “Two of us went for lunch. It looked like we were the first customers of the day. Ordered, bread, garlic and chilli prawns, frittata and sautéd mushrooms. The bread was hard, the frittata was like warm (cold in places), the mushrooms were dry and the juice the prawns were served in tasted as if it was about to turn. The prawns tasted fine but the sauce wasn’t great. We mentioned the bread, frittata and prawns to the member of staff who didn’t really seem interested. They did take the bread off the bill. We wouldn’t go back again.”

  “First visit. Food looked good but only had the in-house peanuts which were good. All food is prepared on premise which is good sign. Great place outside to watch the world go by.”

  “Very nice last night of our London holiday, six vegetarian tapas (plus olives) was a good fit for two adults and two children (hade our children been more fond of vegetarian tapas maybe we would have ordered one or two more though) having eaten way to much deep-fried stuff in the last couple of days. Also quite (very?) reasonably priced, we had a glass of ale and wine with our food, and it landed at about 70 £. A company of all adults would have landed a bit higher.”

  “Such a lovely environment and the food was delicious. It can be hard to find a good variety of plant based / vegetarian options and here I was spoilt for choice. The people were so charming and when one of my dishes was not quite right, they took it off the bill without me even asking or expecting. Delicious, fresh food, the cauliflower fritters were gorgeous and the spanikopita was one of the best I’ve had. I will absolutely be coming back and would highly recommend. Also exceptional value , especially for the middle of London .”

  “Must've hit this place on a bad morning, drinks were slow to come out and they forgot one item on our order. However we will be back as the value for money is great, very nice inside and all the other reviews are great. 4 stars as 2 wouldn't be nice without another chance.”

  “My first visit to the pub, and called in for a quick drink. A pleasant pub with an airy interior. Beers available were fine. The furniture (tables and chairs) was really nice (think habitat light wood design) and it made a welcome change from the usual dark furniture you normally get. I didn't order food, so can't comment on it.”

  “The Queen's Head and Artichoke is a delightful pub nestled away on the corner of Longford and Albany streets. The pub looks like a late Victorian pub, it offers a tapas menu, enticing for a longer visit. Dog friendly and a very happy go lucky atmosphere. The service is excellent and the beer is great too. Indeed, a fine offering of keg beers along with a couple of cask ales. A fine place indeed.”

  “🚇 Great Portland Street 🍺 £6.70 Estrella ❤️ Victorian charm meets tantalising tapas. . The Queens Head & Artichoke is located at the end of a Victorian terrace near the south east corner of Regents Park. The nearest Tube is Great Portland Street which is a few minutes walk away. . When Regent's Park was created, several Inns were demolished including the Queens Head. It re-located to this spot in 1811 and the name was extended to the Queen's Head & Artichoke by 1825. The pub was re-built in its present form in 1900. . The decor here is full of old world charm with some stunning features, most notably the beautiful servery. The walls are clad in Georgian panelling and there is a striking fireplace with yellow glazed tiles. There is plenty of seating which is great but disappointingly it is not in keeping with the rest of the boozer. Another impressive feature is the tall rolled glass windows which bathe the pub with light. . The beer selection was decent and included two cask ales, my Son & I both had pints of Estrella, our pints were great if a little pricey. The food comes in the form of Tapas, there is a broad selection of dishes to choose from which all cost around £11. As we were both a bit peckish we ordered five dishes consisting of prawns, octopus, croquettes , chorizo and lamb skewers. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed it, we were both muttering “mmm” and nodding at each other for about ten minutes. . We arrived around 9.30pm on a Saturday evening and received a warm welcome by who seemed to be the Guv’nor. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed with the majority of punters outside enjoying a warm summer evening. I must mention the service both ordering drinks and the lady who served our food, everyone was so attentive and personable. . The @theartichoke was a superb visit for many reasons. I loved the decor and the Victorian ambiance. The beer was decent and loved the food. The service was great which immediately made you feel comfortable. This is a must visit London Pub. 🍻 . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 23.06.23”
