A lively Covent Garden pub with classic British fare, bustling energy, and a few service quirks—worth it for the food and atmosphere if you don't mind crowds and higher prices.
Crown & Anchor delivers reliable pub dining with strong food quality anchored by excellent fish & chips and Sunday roast, elevated by an exceptional Covent Garden location with historic charm. However, inconsistent food execution and mixed service attentiveness prevent it from reaching higher territory, while premium pricing and recent minor quality drift limit its standing among London's premier neighborhood restaurants.
One caveat: Service can be slow and less attentive during busy times; some staff attitude issues reported.
