The Black Dog - London

Beautiful place to get beautiful crafts and strong beer, very nice service and excellent eating. a weekend visit to this place for some relief from work is a must if they stay in brentford

Big full english breakfast!. I have made an online search for places in vauxhall, which serves a good English breakfast and I just happened on the black dog. I'm made of massive and there's a black dog that's pretty well known. I didn't know there was a black dog in london, and I doubt they were connected, but maybe they were a walkable distance from my hotel, so I went there while I was in london for a few days. I had never had a full English breakfast, and this experience was not disappointed. it was delicious. I never had bloodworn and was very impressed. I expected a mouthful of iron and hemoglobin, but it was actually quite delicious. I...read more

My biggest complaining about this place. Why is it not? the black dog is the best secret of vauxhall and seems to have only natives. and for good reason! This gastro-pub has some of the best traditional pub food I had in london! her Sunday roast is something beautiful! besides amazing eating, the decoration and layout of this pubs make it really special. there is an amazing glass window above the bar, an exposed kitchen and many charming details. the exposed kitchen means that the smell of amazing food radiates the pub at any time. it is practically impossible to get a pint without eating anything because it smells too good!

I once believed that this restaurant served the best roast in all of London, especially because of their Pork Belly dish. However, my recent visit was extremely disappointing. My partner and I were looking forward to returning, but our experience turned out to be awful. The main reason for this was the change in head chef, which was quite evident. The service was slow, with drinks taking 30 minutes to arrive and our starter being forgotten. The beloved pork belly dish was no longer on the menu, so we settled for beef. Unfortunately, the beef roast we received was thick, rare, and difficult to cut. The side dishes were also inconsistent and arrived late. To make matters worse, I found a hair in my food, prompting them to bring me a new plate with minimal portions. The service was lacking, with no one checking if we needed anything else and the staff appearing disinterested. They even brought the bill without itemizing it, expecting us to pay immediately. I had to correct them on the charges, as they had included the hair-infested roast and drinks. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I would not recommend this restaurant. There are better roast options at the same price point in nicer locations. When I asked about the change in head chef, it was confirmed, which explained a lot. It's a shame that the previous chef's pork belly roast, which was once the best in London, is no longer on the menu.

I stopped by for lunch while out for a walk. The menu was very impressive, and the grilled Caesar Salad with chicken was excellent. They have a great selection of beverages and offer seating options in the garden, indoor, and street side. The service was very accommodating. This place is definitely a keeper.
