Pubs near the Savoy

[Lenny Rider]

Off to a boxing dinner tonight, didn't know if any of the London based (Or capital working)Seagulls could advise us which pub to go to.

We number around 25 and want to be a short walk from the hotel.

Thanks

Coal Hole or Lyceum Tavern are both short walks away - both pretty spacious too.

The Coal Hole is probably the best bet around there. The Lyceum is Sammy Smith's so it's cheap and cheerful, but it's a bit grotty and if you're an ale drinker the phrase 'get what you pay for' definetely applies to their ales (about £2 a pint). There's also the Wellington on the corner, which is a pretty bog standard (but expensive) pub.

 

[Martlet]

for 25 of you - the Coal Hole will work (right on the Strand)

 

[Lush]

Coal Hole is nice enough. Go downstairs if it's busy.

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

Definitely the Coal Hole - go round the back of the pub and there is a balcony thats normally pretty quiet that will accomodate all of you. Serves Fullers if I remember correctly

 

[the slow norris]

Or......there's the porterhouse, easily big enough to accomodate you all and a huge selection of belgian/exotic beers. Not on the strad, but literally 2 mins away from the savoy.

Thanks for advice, Coal Hole ticked all the boxes.

I've read a few sports editorials over the past few days, so I take it there were no women in your group.

Do a pub crawl,

Ship and Shovel, Charing Cross Arches- the only pub in two halves in London

Nell Gwynn - oldest pub in London? a bit cramped for 25 of you though

Coal Hole to finish

There are traditionally no women at the dinner, next year is the 60th anniversary, whether that custom will change is unlikely.
