A smokehouse-forward pub with standout ribs, whisky flights, and warm service; roasts divide opinion and pricing sits mid-range for central London.
Lord Wargrave delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional smoked meats—particularly the beef short rib and warm, efficient service that keeps regulars returning.

One caveat: Roast components can be inconsistent (notably Yorkshires)
