The Alfred Tennyson (fka The Pantechnicon Public House and Dining Room)

Everything a bit dry looks as if it were cooked and kept heated For £25 I expected better

The food was terrible on the 31 december and the service, I dont recomend that place for new year eve.

Food very over priced and poor quality. Waitress did not have knowledge of the drinks on offer. Won't be returning

had a very nice corner table for 6 food was good only issue table next to us played musical chairs ALL evening and were very very loud

I have visited other Thomas Cubitt pubs and had great experiences, unfortunately this didn’t live up to it. The food was sub standard and expensive for the quality. It was average pub food and not elevated it any way. Setting is nice but can get noisy when a few people like in. Overall I wouldn’t return or recommend eating there.

Loved the place! We were on the rooftop, sat outside even though weather was not perfect, but area was well heated and I enjoy the natural light. Service was very good and everyone was very friendly and professional. Every plate we took was very tasteful and portions were very good for a brunchy situation. Definitely will recommend to friends

We booked Christmas dinner for a group of 11. We had excellent service from the booking to the day. Multiple phone calls to organise and confirm the allergies of the guests I had mention. The loveliest staff on the day and in advance. I had been a couple of times with girlfriends for drinks and dinner but I will now be going more due the excellent service we received. We are so thankful!

Pantechnicon is an eclectic mix of decent food, great Ambience and poor service. We went as a party of over 30 people with clearly identified allergies and guess what? Starting with the soup they got it all wrong. Right from serving soup with croutons to people allergic to gluten, just serving ice cream to those allergic to dairy, and yelling for being called out for having pieces of paper in the dessert, this place does it all with the alacrity of an Asian vegetable market. Do try if you have the stomach, but make sure your antihistamines are all stocked up

We had an overall good Sunday roast experience. For starters the pig’s head terrine and piccalilli were excellent but the scallops ceviche was a joke, no seasoning and presentation was poor, a handful of gems lettuce sprinkled with two(? thin sliced scallops, avoid that at all cost especially the £17.50 we were charged for. The Angus beef roast was delicious, very well cooked and tender. Trimmings were nice especially the green beans and gravy. I asked for more gravy unfortunately it came 10mins later and was cold. Dessert was succulent, crepes Suzette were perfect! The service was very pleasant especially the host at the front desk! Merci beaucoup!! All in all I will come back.
