Time Out
The Punch Tavern has a beautiful Victorian interior of high ceilings and mirror-lined walls, yet the grandeur doesn’t intimidate because of the cosily cushioned benches, intimate lighting and smiling staff.

Time Out – Cheap Eats
The Grade II-listed building – with ornate plasterwork, etched glass and carved heads of Mr Punch above the bar – provides a splendid Victorian setting, while friendly staff, cushion-heaped banquettes and a roaring fire enhance the convivial atmosphere. A great spot for a cheap City lunch.

The Caterer and Hotelkeeper
This gastropub boasts a cross-cultural menu and a relaxed, casual atmosphere, perfect for young creative corporate types who want an alternative to fine dining.

Square Meal
Restaurateur Sunnil Panjabi has provided a varied menu of light dishes from croissants at breakfast to casseroles at lunchtime, while bar snacks and sharing platters in the evening provide the perfect accompaniment to a sensibly priced international wine list.

City AM
Customers extol the genuinely happy atmosphere that greets you in this cheery drinking hole. The new décor means that the inside is now a lot brighter, and air conditioning has been installed. The arched roof-lights have been cleaned and repainted, revealing some beautiful etched glass and fine plaster detail, with more ‘Punch’ portraits.

Evening Standard
Once you could expect a welcome and something good to eat and drink in scores of inns and taverns throughout the land – sadly that is no longer the case, which makes the Punch Tavern something of a welcome exception to the rule.

Evening Standard
This pub has been turned into a unique place that takes some describing. The Punch operates like a cross between an Irish village pub and an enthusiastically run provincial tea shop. Its single aim seems to be, whatever you want, we got it!

View London
The Last Word
The Punch Tavern is a delightful pub with some beautiful features that are part of London’s heritage. Fabulous food, lots to drink and a good atmosphere – they’re definitely onto a winner.
