The Three Johns
73 White Lion Street, LondonWe hosted our daughter’s first birthday at The Three Johns and had such a lovely experience! The private room was perfect for our celebration — full of character, with beautiful natural light coming through the skylight.
The staff were absolutely brilliant and so accommodating throughout. They provided plates, napkins, a knife and even a lighter for the birthday cake, kept the room clear of empty glasses and plates, and were incredibly helpful with little things like boiling water for our daughter’s milk. They were also very relaxed about us filling the room and hallway with buggies, which made everything so much easier with lots of little ones!
The pizzas were amazing too, and everyone really enjoyed the food.
Such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and a fantastic space for a celebration. We couldn’t have asked for a better first birthday for our daughter. Thank you to the whole team!

Honest Burgers King's Cross
251 Pentonville Road, LondonTop-tier burgers and service at the King's Cross spot! The beef is always cooked to perfection, packed with flavour, and you honestly cannot beat their signature rosemary salted chips. The staff are quick and welcoming, and the vibe inside is spot on for a casual bite. Easily one of the best spots around—can't fault it

Pizza Express
335 Upper Street, LondonBeen here several times over the years and went most recently 5 of us went for my son’s birthday.
It was really busy but we had a reservation so got seated straight away when we turnt up.
Always enjoyed the food and never had a problem with it this time having chickens wings to start.
A Duo Romano pizza for main which is basically a half and half pizza which I think is good idea being able to pick 2 pizzas from the menu and have them on one pizza.
Finished off with a lemon and raspberry cheesecake.
Got served by a few different staff but our main waitress was Connie who was absolutely brilliant.

Chipotle Mexican Grill
334 Upper Street, LondonFantastic experience – best burrito I’ve had!
I recently visited Chipotle Mexican Grill on Upper Street and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The burrito was absolutely delicious — honestly, one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned and perfectly put together, with generous portions and great flavour in every bite.
The atmosphere was also fantastic. The restaurant had a really welcoming and relaxed vibe, and the staff were friendly, polite and helpful, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable.
It’s clear that the team takes pride in providing a great experience for customers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back again.

6 Pancras Square, LondonHad such a great experience, particularly thanks to Valentina!
I arrived with a nasty cut on my finger, and while my Guinness was settling, she went out of her way to clean the wound and replace my bandage without hesitation. She did it purely out of kindness and a genuine willingness to help.
It’s little gestures like this that make such a difference. Absolutely lovely service and a genuinely five-star experience. Thank you, Valentina!

Papa Johns Pizza
123 Upper St, LondonOrdered a pizza for delivery and due to a system error it came back wrong, Thankfully Raj(I hope I spelt it correctly) was able to help me and provide me with a replacement pizza. Raj was very kind, friendly and calm, despite me being slightly agitated/aggressive on the phone with him, which I feel quite bad about. Thank you for the amazing service and great pizza. Please give Raj a raise! He deserves it. Need more employees like him. Apologies once again.

Papa Johns Pizza
202 Hoxton Street London, and CityVisited tonight and had a great experience. Nikhil provided excellent customer service and made us feel really welcome, and Prebhjod made one of the tastiest pizzas I’ve had from Papa John’s in a long time. You can really tell when people take pride in what they do.
The team were friendly, professional, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely deserves a shout-out.
The only thing I wish Papa John’s would bring back is the XXL pizza—I still miss it! Not sure why it was discontinued, but I’d love to see it return.

The White Swan - JD Wetherspoon
255-256 Upper Street, LondonI'm probably a bit biased because I really like Wetherspoons pubs in general. They're always a great option for affordable pints and decent meals, and The White Swan is no exception!
On my last visit, I got to sit in one of these nice, cosy booths and decided to try their weekday food special. As it was Monday, I could order three dishes for just £12, which I thought was a bargain!
I went for two generous mini pizzas and a side of chips, which was more than enough to feed both me and my partner! Sadly, only after placing my order did I realise I could have ordered cheesy chips instead! Never mind!
The small portions were very generous, the food was delicious, and everything was nicely served. The staff were also very nice and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I also enjoyed a lovely pint of IPA alongside my meal.
For just £12, plus the cost of our drinks, we both had a satisfying meal, which is fantastic value for money, especially in London!
Good food, affordable drinks, generous portions, friendly staff and a relaxed pub atmosphere. We had a great time and will definitely be coming back!
Five stars from me!
