Stopped for food and a drink. Very good Indian dishes. The lamb chops were amazing!! Nice looking bar. Pews look great, but rather uncomfortable. Lovely bartender. Unfortunate smell of dirty mop throughout the venue which was a

Used to be one of my favourite pubs in London but the beer selection on my last few visits hasn't been as good as it used to be. The Axe round the corner is better in that respect. Indian food however was excellent and staff were friendly.

We booked a table here for Saturday night and after an hour wait they told us they told us they could serve only half of our table (we were 9 people total). They offered us a bottle of wine and halved the final drinks bill, but we had to bring in some KFC in order for everyone to have something to eat,l. Sorry but if you cannot fulfill a table that was booked 2 weeks in advance don't take bookings at all.

Jolly by name, jolly by nature.Great pub atmosphere, friendly staff and incredible food!I was worried this was going to be a very meaty place based on the name but was pleasantly surprised by the Indian food on offer here.Very reasonably priced, great selection and one of the best curries I’ve had in a long time.Dog friendly ??highly recommended

Not a pub, it's a restaurant with beer on tap. Waited at the bar for ages, was told they'd be with me in a minute (after 5), and then told it's table service only. Hard surfaces, and an open plan kitchen in the corner, make it extremely noisy and difficult to have conversations, resulting in everyone talking loudly which compounds the problem. Food was alright and came in a reasonable amount of time. Let down by waiters that couldn't hear / remember orders correctly, and making loads of little mistakes.

Have been in here before and has been ok but went in with my partner this afternoon and was about to sit at a seemingly unreserved table. A young man literally ran over and asked if we had booked rather brusquely. We said no but explained we were only having one quick drink (there were several empty tables without any reserved signs) but this did not elicit any response and he just kept his head down looking at his list without communicating. I then pointed to an empty table and asked if we could sit there. "No" was the terse response. He carried on looking at list - no attempt at 'sorry but we are really busy etc etc" or anything approaching decent customer service. Eventually tiring of seeing the top of his head looking at his list we just left. Really poor service. If you have bookings and are full then fine, but just be polite about it!

Fantastic evening had at the Jolly Butcher. In addition to the great atmosphere, food and service, the beer choice is excellent.
