Balfour At St. Bart's - London

Monday lunch 12.30 nice eating and a good choice of beer. against smithfield meat market on a large square. a large high-time room, empty when we were there.

Was a perfect location for a business lunch on a weekday afternoon

Friendly service, good selection of British wines and well cooked classic dishes.

Nice pub on a couple of levels. In hindsight we didn't visit at the best time, on Christmas Eve for what essentially is a City pub, and in a pandemic there was never going to be a lot of people in there, so that detracted from the experience. The service was great though and the Chef even fessed up that the soup wasn't the best and didn't want to serve it to us, so fair play. The food we had was lovely, although possibly a little overpriced. The venue is apparently mostly taken over to block bookings, which I could see working nicely for a live music or DJ performance. Would recommend if you are in the area and fancied a bite, or live within easy reach and could make a music night.

The photos and the menu are 100% inaccurate. the menu is tiny and different in reality and the place has no tables, table linen or table settings like the photos it is a very average after the work pub.
