March 2025Absolutely obsessed with the cozy vibes at The Widow’s Son! It’s got that old-school London charm with a touch of mystery—so dreamy! Grab a drink, soak in the history, and don’t forget to ask about the ‘Widow’s Bun’ legend! 😍♥️💫

January 2025"The Widow's Son – Where History Meets Culinary Excellence" If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience in the heart of London, The Widow's Son is the place to be. This 200-year-old historic pub doesn’t just captivate you with its rich history but also amazes you with its exceptional food and creative cocktails. The menu offers something for everyone, but the Sunday Roast is truly a standout! Perfectly tender meat, fresh seasonal sides, and generous portions make it a must-try. As for the cocktails, they are nothing short of artistry. My personal favorite was the "Widow's Kiss" – a perfectly balanced blend of flavors with an elegant presentation. The cozy and welcoming atmosphere, combined with top-notch service, makes The Widow's Son ideal for both special occasions and a casual escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. Surrounded by history and indulgent flavors, this pub is a gem that deserves a visit!

December 2024This historic local pub, closed for a long time, has finally reopened, and it was well worth the wait! The interior decor beautifully honors its rich past, featuring dim yellow lighting and vintage signage that create a cozy and homely atmosphere. The menu seems to have a Turkish influence—our grilled chicken and prawns were absolutely delicious! Prices are very reasonable, making it even more appealing. To top it all off, the music selection is fantastic. If you’re a fan of 90s and early 2000s hits, this place will feel like home. Highly recommended!

March 2025Nice pub with a good vibe and friendly staff. Went in for an impromptu Sunday roast - £24 for beef and just/ £20 for vegetarian (no substitute but maybe a bit more portion wise of veg?). Prices are quite steep in comparison to other roasts in the area and for what we got. Would be keen to try a music night in future as pub in general feels promising and a nice space.
