If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The owners/co-owners of whatever they like to call themselves the 3 guys like to sit in their corner of the restaurant. We had went to this place to watch the World Cup and it was an amazing game, service was great for it being pretty crowded up until it was time to pay… our bill was $221 we paid in CASH and put down $250 and the rest plus extra was left for tips for our server, $45 for tip (who in the end was not so great like we thought). The rest of us go outside while my 2 other family members give the server the cash as we didn’t want to leave $250 right on the table. One of my family members go into the bathroom to use it before we all head out and at this point I’m waiting outside with the rest of them and we get a call from my family member who left the bathroom saying they won’t let her go because the cash is fake (which was not). The server grabbed my family member BY THE SHIRT put her hands RIGHT ON HER, which she had no right to. And the owners are just laughing in the corner taking no accountability as they realized it was real when they checked it with the pen which they should’ve the first time before accusing us. I don’t know if it was a racial discrimination because no one else had a hard time but the owners were being loud when saying the money “was fake” and others around heard it too making it very embarrassing. We called to complain and they checked the cameras of the server putting her hands on my family member and then they apologize and tell us our next meal will be on them. But we aren’t accepting it.

Fish and Chips were excellent. Light crisp batter and flaky halibut. The shrimp was not a favorite because it was overly battered.

The food and atmosphere here are wonderful! I regularly come here for their appetizer specials. The portions are huge. Summer is regularly my server and she’s amazing. The other servers are great too. Highly recommend!

My first time here, met a group for dinner before a show uptown. I got the blackened salmon BLT which was very good. They had $4 mimosas all day on Saturday, so I got a couple of pineapple ones. They were very yummy. Prices of food was pretty reasonable too. Customer service was great, very friendly staff. I’ll definitely come back again.

I was born and bred in England, and this was the only place in Charlotte advertising a cornish pasty. Impossible parking, all paid meters with exorbitant prices. The two assigned places for. The building parking lot says employee parking (so the guest pays for parking , while the employees park for free, something wrong with that). While the server and bartender are very friendly, they are not British and have never even been there. The website menu is completely out of date and has been since October (it’s now April). So no more cornish pasties and no scotch eggs. That was VERY disappointing. The bangers are from Sysco (accordingtoour waitress), not even a local butcher! I asked about cider on the menu and she said they had Magners only, and whole pints not halves, then after we’d ordered I saw Angry Orchard by bottle, so again, lack of education). We ordered the steak and mushroom pies and a smashbuger. Our adult daughter said the smash burger was really good, but it came with frozen seasoned fries (again, not a British thing). The meat pies came with steamed veggies and a generous scoop of mashed potatoes with a delicious brown gravy. The pies, however, are a different thing. They are pre-made (because I asked for no mushrooms). Nice puff pastry, but the filling had so little “steak” or mushrooms in them, and the gravy inside the pie was awful. Lots of TV screens inside, and they do show Premier League. Overall assessment from a Brit, don’t go there for the food, but the bar scene. We sat outside, and that was very pretty, watching the trams go by. Based on the fact that we were there for food, I would not recommend this restaurant (sorry). The table next to us ordered Haddock (no cod) and said that was the worth ordering, although they were eating wings.

Food was really good. We had 2 orders of the English Breakfast and the fish and chips. The breakfasts were great. Very filling. The beans were your basic beans from a can but not the British way. The eggs on both plates cooked perfectly! Bacon was British bacon with a great smoey flavor, delicious. Sausage was tasty but did not taste like the British Cumberland sausage. Delicious nonetheless. Potatoes were seasoned perfectly. Toast was fully buttered. Amazing!!
The fish and chips were delicious! A very large piece of haddock and plenty of chips. The batter was light and crispy. Fries were seasoned well although I’m not a fan of seasoned salt. Service was great. Friendly, place was clean and they had a breakfast buffet with an omelette station. Will be back to take in a soccer game and try more of the menu

On a whim I searched for a British pub and luckily Big Ben popped up. Went for lunch figuring I would get fish and chips or something but was pleasantly surprised to see a British breakfast. Ordered some Scotch eggs, breakfast plate and my wife had the shrimp salad. Scotch egg was pretty good but it was literally one egg cut into 4 slices. For the price two eggs would be a better deal. The English breakfast was good. Had the correct items to make it a English breakfast. Beans were a little stale tasting but I can’t be to harsh about them. Wife said salad was a little over dressed. Would prefer dressing on the side to have ratio of her choice. Other than those small misses for us it was worth having and going again the next time we are in town. Bonus was one tv screen showing the F1 race. That would get an extra star from me.

Lovely lil pub! Nice atmosphere, I love the decor, service is great, and the food is delicious! The fish and chips was so good, I feel like it’s hard to find good fried fish nowadays.
We also had the beef wellington, and I will say I’m slightly disappointed. I was definitely expecting something a lil more fancy from the name, cause it a very particular dish. The meat inside was more like stew meat, not super soft like filet is. It was also just meat and pastry, nothing in between to absorb some of the meat juices.
All that said, it was still tasty just not what I’m expecting when I see wellington on the menu, even if it was fairly cheap.
We split the Buffalo haddock and it was so goooood. Same with the Buffalo chicken dip, just a lil smaller of a portion than I was expecting. Maybe that was the restaurant week portion size though! Also also, a steal! Definitely recommend the restaurant week menu, its an amazing value for the price and extremely worth it. Have a beer with the money you save! Will definitely be returning with friends to try some $5 pints!

Perfect spot to watch Premier League matches on weekend mornings. Fish and chips , and Shepherds pie were excellent. Mimosa and Bloody Mary drink specials. You may need reservations. We have been turned away for soccer games- all places were reserved in advance, bar stools too!

Wow! We hit the jackpot when we googled Charlotte Eagles bar. We are from the Philly area and were looking for a bar to watch the eagles game. From the moment we stepped out of the uber and saw the inflatable eagle and heard the DJ playing Meek Mill Dreams and Nightmares. Walked into a packed house, filled with Eagles jerseys-standing room only. But standing didn’t bother us bc it was filled with huge TVs all paying the eagles! The DJ Chris was killing it during commercial breaks. The steak quesadillas were bomb!!!! The crowd was so fun & lively we felt like we were at a Philly bar! The bartenders were super friendly and welcoming to us. We really felt like family by the end of the day. We stayed so long that we finally got a seat at the bar after the game and ordered a beef & mushroom pie and wings. Both were amazing!! The beers were ice cold all day, very important!! We had the best day, and hope to return someday! Thanks to a great staff, they hustled all day!
