London - Eating & Drinking - Pubs & Bars - Pubs
The Punchbowl is not your everyday sort of pub. Tucked down a side street in Mayfair, this Guy Ritchie boozer is about the most opulent place serving Bombardier I think I've ever been in. Clientele are local (and filthy rich as you would expect), save for a few American tourists and a couple of stilletoed, Saturday night slappers looking to bag a millionaire. Plenty of ales on - Deuchars, London Pride and 2 or 3 more. What really makes this pub so good though is the food. The posh sausage and mash was awesome. Toulouse sausages, creamy mash and tasty gravy. Not cheap (£14.95), but to be honest, I'm happy to pay £5 over the normal pub rates for a meal of such quality. Service was friendly and attentive even though they were quite busy.
Will I be back soon?
Probably. It's near my office and it would be a decent place to take a date or celebrate a special occassion. It's expensive and I definitely wouldn't come here on a Friday night with my mates, but if you're looking for something a bit special, this could be the place for you.
