A characterful Tower Hill pub with strong pies, fish and chips, and a lively historic feel, but service inconsistency and tourist-area pricing keep it from being a blind recommendation.
The Hung Drawn & Quartered delivers solid pub dining with strong British classics, especially pies, and an exceptional historic setting near Tower Hill that justifies its destination appeal. However, inconsistent execution on fish and chips and roasts prevents higher marks, and comfort varies across the space. It's a worthwhile visit for traditional London pub fare in an atmospheric location, though expect uneven service and pricing that reflects its prime tourist position.
One caveat: Some diners found the service slow or inattentive, especially when the pub was busy.
