Union Jack Tavern Makati, a former bar called Murphy's, is a British pub and restaurant that offers a variety of authentic British dishes. It looks intimidating from the front, but the place looks cozy inside. And that's exactly what the owners envisioned having a pub for foreigners and locals to just watch the game or meet up with friends with their favorite beer and barchow. In addition to the usual barchow, there are fish and chips and cakes, which are good for lunch or dinner. I personally enjoyed the fish and chips. For P425 you get a large, battered fish platter that is served with huge french fries. Squeeze some lemon on the fish and off you go. This was really enough to satisfy my protein fixation! I also liked the Spicy Buffalo Wings (P295). Indeed, if you like sharp, this will make the cut. This would make you reach for glasses of your homemade iced tea even more! This dish comes with celery sticks and a blue cheese dip that compliments the flavorful wings nicely. UJT also serves cakes made with their signature bisto sauce. The Shepherds' Pie (P425) lives up to its home cooking status with a creamy and cheesy mashed potato on a hearty, meaty base. Other favorites are the steak pie and the chicken and mushroom pie, both at P395. All cakes are served with two side dishes of your choice. You can choose from mashed peas, baked beans, french fries, hand-cut french fries, corn and carrots, mixed vegetables, French bread or regular rice. There was also leg of lamb with a delicious barbecue sauce and a sausage roll, which was best eaten with a mustard dip. I like that their cakes look rustic and homemade, but are big enough to share. The pastries are flaky and satisfying and go well with any meat and sauce filling. The chicken quesadilla is also a must. These are perfectly seasoned fried chicken breast strips with melted cheese, green chillies, and white onions in a large flour tortilla. Dip it in garlic sour cream and tomato salsa and this makes for a great starter! They also have British-Indian dishes like chicken curry and chicken tikka masala, both served with fragrant basmati rice or pratha bread. The basmati rice was well done, although I was looking for the usual butter that goes on top. Both portions of curry and tikka masala were served hot with chicken and potato pieces. I have to say I would have liked bigger pieces of chicken as these tend to get lost in the sauce. UJT is also suitable for all ages. As a parent, it was a pleasure to see that they have a kids menu and mini-shop selling imported chocolates and sweet treats. I eyed the candy eggs as we left! UJT Makati is indeed a gem in Legaspi Village. I would return primarily to ensure the goodness of the convenience food they offer with their fish and chips and shepherd pie. Second, because the ambience reminds me a lot of McLarens', the pub from my favorite sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Finally, I definitely agree with the owner's vision of having a place just around the corner where you can just hang out by yourself to enjoy a cold mug of your favorite beer after work, or to dine with your friends or relatives, a place where you can make everyone relax and unwind.

I have a small spice tolerance, a small one is too strong for me. But this is absolutely good, although I can see that it would be very spicy on the red dish. Best with pratha or rice." ???? Steak Pie "The first time I tried the Union Jack Tavern's Steak Pie was absolutely good, even if it is getting cold ... Masarap! This is my favorite during our visit." Other comments: Maybe it would be better if the chicken tender / slice in chicken curry had to be a bit bigger. Overall, the Union Jack Tavern serves fantastic English cuisine and has good service throughout our meal. #ilovetoeatph ???? ❤️ Zomato China < span> Janela Franzin Apolinar
