Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We found this busy tavern walking back to our hotel from the tube station. The place was packed every time we walked by. Delicious food and great atmosphere. Such a good experience, we went back a couple days later.

Was not expecting anything fancy but I really didn’t expect my overpriced cheese sandwich to be on stale grocery store white bread. Food was a great disappointment. However, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The bathrooms were also clean. Good place for...a drink but I wouldn’t recommend eating here.More

Attentive bar staff, very good food. Good selection of English beers on tap. Has sports on the TVs. A nice break from the busier and rowdier bars on Euston Rd and around St Pancras.More

I have been here on two separate occasions, once traveling with my wife and once on a business trip. It's conveniently near St Pancras, so it's an easy stop if you're traveling by train. The food is solid pub food - perfectly good if not...spectacular, and the draught selection is excellent. Prices are fair, and service is as expected or a bit better. I'll certainly return next time I'm in LondonMore

Went primarily to sample the Shepherds Neame brews which I don't often come across and was happy with these. Food menu was not just the pub classics, some more unusual fare as well & was tasty but a few items weren't available, more than I...would have expected. Small ( human) error with our order but this was sorted out with no fuss and welcome, but unnecessary, compensation offered. Friendly atmosphere and busy but not overly so. Ultimate mark from reviewers point of view is that my wife wants to go back the next time we are in London - this is an accolade very rarely bestowed.More

I'm visiting from America and this is my idea of a London pub. It wasn't far from our hotel, so we picked it. The employees are friendly and helpful, the menu has good sturdy English foods (fish & chips, meat pies, etc.), and it's noisy....Do not expect a quiet environment: people are enjoying themselves and the food and the atmosphere. There's a plaque outside giving a bit of info on who Mabel was and when she lived, and also that there are unexplained noises in the early hours. But we're in London: it's laden with specters. We strongly recommend Mabel's Tavern.More

Mabel’s is definitely a local place but very friendly and acceptable to visitors. The brews are always cold and the food is pretty good. The burgers are pretty big so my wife and I shared one.

Had booked a table for dinner at this pub as it was close to our accomodation but also because we'd had a drink here once before. When we arrived there was a slight mix up with the booking so we had a drink while we...waited. The lady who served us was called Rhianna and she was just so nice and friendly and even gave us a free drink to compensate. Mistakes happen and it's how it's dealt with that you remember! So, we had a lovely meal in a lovely place with lovely staff - would highly recommend.More

Really nice pub with great food, it is a chain pub but this is one of the better ones I have eaten in and I spend a lot of time in London. Slightly off the beaten track near Euston/kings x.

An interesting place. Pleasant staff, nice environment. However, I wasn’t impressed by the beer. We started with Master Brew, as the Whitstable Bay was off. It wasn’t to my taste. On the next round, the Whitstable Bay was back on so three of us had...that. It was cloudy and slightly vinegary. OK, but not ideal. Two of us ordered fish, chips and peas. The fish was OK. I’ve no idea whether it was cod or haddock as, contrary to advertising regulations, it wasn’t specified. The chips were clearly McCains’ frozen chips. No problem with that but they served up far too many. Maybe that’s not a bad thing to some. One of us had ham, egg & chips and was happy with it and another enjoyed the pie and mash. So, there you are. Not unpleasant but not somewhere I would be rushing back to.More

They certainly did last time I was there - Tottenham v Liverpool last season. Probably best to ring them though.
