The Phene 9 Phene Street, London SW3 5NY

"Having been let down by down other pubs, we found The Phene. Without reservation, we were accommodated without issue. The Christmas festive menu was excellent. We both decided on turkey as our main, and it didn’t disappoint - juicy meat, wonderful sausage-meat stuffing and the best bread sauce I’ve ever had. An excellent wine menu, with friendly and efficient service. We will definitely return for lunch or dinner in the future. Thank you for a lovely Christmas Eve lunch."

"Recommended from a friend, we came here wanting a Sunday roast which did not disappoint. Service was quick and attentive. I ordered the roast pork which was just so delicious, and the setting was just what you’d hope for in a gastro pub."

"Nice outdoor area if the weather is ok. Staff to customer ratio is pretty low. Good food."

"Table service only which means at busy times it's really worth booking. It also loses a little bit of the pub vibe The table service is a little hit and miss in terms of timing although they definitely seemed to have enough staff on. Generally you had to flag staff down. Had a few Guinness which were sadly poured in a straight glass with too large a head, the photos are from different pints. It had taken long enough to get noticed to be served to be worth saying anything about. Kinda meh for the price you're paying overall"

"I tend not to write negative reviews, but experience wasn't great. Myself and my friend visited pub on Sunday afternoon for lunch. Ordered food and drinks. Received squid starter quite quickly. Unfortunately, it was super salty and dry. OK, happens! Possibly chef is in love and added extra salt into the dish. So, we were hoping main food will be much better and we will forget salty squid. We had to wait for a glass of wine exactly 30 min. As a main dishes we ordered cod and vegeterian. It was exactly 40min into service and we started wondering if chef had to fish cod somewhere in the pond?! Suddenly a member of staff come in and told us that our food is coming next. And that they are sorry as they are very busy due to a private event upstairs. OK, fair enough - we can understand it, it is a busy day. However the dissapointing fact was that customers who arrived after us, got they orders very quickly, finished they food and left while we were still waiting for our main dishes? Food reached our table after 50 min of waiting and unfortunately, veg pastry was dry and fish was overcooked. Place seems cute and cozy, but due to our experience I can rate it only 2 stars."
