A place worth knowing

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese spreads its Fleet Street pub life across several historic bars and dining rooms. Samuel Smith’s beers and a chop-house menu give it a clear identity, with steak and kidney pudding among the house specialities.

Choose a room as well as a meal if booking for a group. Access is a material limitation: the pub explicitly states that it is not wheelchair accessible.
