Looked like a cool place. Atmosphere was a decent vibe minus a slight unpleasant smell inside; probably from moisture in the walls, not sure. Service was friendly yet a little slow to bring food out.

Just disappointed that they got our food order wrong. Asked for mash with the Pie but got chips instead. Furthermore the BLT and Pie hardly had any meat. Felt like we were eating vegetarian food.

I counted 3 small M&m sized pieces of meat in the entire "Steak" Pie. The entire meal was just carbs and gravy... not good for a £15.45 pie.
From a pub perspective, a good way to surreptitiously cut corners and save on expensive ingredients while selling at a profitable margin.
The BLT was just as bad. Literally 2 nugget sized pieces of chicken...

Overall felt ripped off and extremely disappointed.

The probability of us returning is very low.

** Later Update
After eating my partner and I felt qweezy. We suspect something with the food.

Shakespeare’s Head is a great spot for a classic Sunday lunch! I had the vegetarian option, which was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and very satisfying. My friends had the beef roast, and they said it was simply outstanding.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The setting is beautiful, with a very British charm and a cozy atmosphere upstairs.

Definitely a must-visit!

Absolutely fantastic experience!
I had an amazing time at this pub—everything from the atmosphere to the service, especially Demi,  was top. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The drinks selection was impressive, with a great mix of local beers, craft options, and classic cocktails.

The food was a pleasant surprise too—delicious, well-presented, and full of flavor. You can tell they really care about quality here.

Highly recommended—I'll definitely be coming back soon!

Classic English Vibes, Classic Soho Prices. Shakespeare’s Head is the ultimate English pub experience—beer, pub grub, and old-school charm. The food and drinks are decent, but the prices? Pure Shakespearean tragedy. Still, worth it for the vibes!

My first encounter with the famous "fish and chips" 🐟 🍟 I'm glad they didn't disappoint me!
The fish was pretty big and well prepared, the chips (French fries) weren't marvelous but just as good as needed to be!

You totally get the vibes of a typical UK PUB while inside. The crew was helpful and patient with us 👍🏼 I was also told that the chicken burger was great!

The place is actually a lot bigger than what it looks from the outside so go and have a good time there 😜🤘🏼
