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.

My cousin rented The Londesborough for her wedding and it did not disappoint. Being able to choose which meal you'd like from a number of options for starter/main was a surprise and the food was truly delicious. The setup was perfect and everyone could hear/see...for speeches etc. A really lovely day.More

Booked in advance for 3 people for a Sunday roast. Despite this, upon arrival we were told we’d been allocated a table for 2 and an extra chair had been slotted in. Waiting staff commented on the size of the table and offered us another...table that was already occupied by a couple (this was also a 2 person table). There was a 4 person table available which we asked would we be able to take instead to which we were told they’d lose out on business seating 3 to a 4 seater table. 3 different members of staff continued to argue this with us at one point even saying “what does a three person table look like?”. We emphasised to staff that we had pre booked for 3 people to eat dinner and that we would not be able to comfortably sit at a table designed for 2. After a lot of back and forth, we were eventually seated at the 4 seater table that had been available from our arrival. Staff gave no apology and told us that we were being difficult. Despite the good food, the general experience was definitely one to deter us from returning again.More

We had our wedding here - we wanted a party vibe and we got that in buckets! The venue itself is beautiful, really well kept, spacious, funky, they put up bunting for us, and the fairy lights that the pub has already make it really...special. We had finger food rather than a sit down meal. The food was fabulous and plentiful, coming out in 3 servings across the afternoon/evening. Lots of people commented on how delicious it was. They provide a wedding planner, Amber, who helps and guides on all the details and is across everything from the minute you enquire/book to even the night before when i had last minute questions. She gives sound advice on the options available and was wonderful to have by our side in the lead up. I couldn't have asked for a better place to have our reception for a proper London wedding. Thank you to the Londesborough for being everything we hoped it would be and more. If in doubt, go for it!More

In the West Midlands we say "bostin", the Welsh might say "crackin". Don't know about down south but this was a proper Sunday roast dinner. Across the group we sampled pork, beef and chicken dinners but it was clean plates and full tummies all round,...just enough room for a dessert of course. Recommended. Good value.More

The Londesborough is a fantastic wedding venue. We had our wedding celebration there on 17 June 2023, and everyone who attended said that it was a wonderful day. The food was lovely (we had barbecue) and they really went out of their way to cater...for everyone, with great vegan food. The atmosphere was perfect, and the organisation seamless. Amber was fantastic in helping us organise, as was Greg and all the staff. All our guests commented on how friendly the staff were, and how good the food was. We really had a great time, and thoroughly recommend it as a wedding venue. Thanks for a fabulous day.More

We had our Wedding reception at The Londesborough in October 2022 and we can't recommend them highly enough. We knew this pub had a great reputation as a reception venue and we were not disappointed. Every question we had was answered quickly and the team...made what can be a complex day to organise very easy. They were also very happy to accommodate our wish to have a vegan menu. We felt like the team really cared about making our Wedding a joyous day for us and for all our family and friends - a huge thank you to them!More

Thanks to all the staff for hosting a great wedding lunch and party. As a non vegetarian, I was very surprised at the quality and selection of the food. I have never been to a wedding where you actually got a choice of starters and...mains. My Asparagus starter was very good, but the main I chose of Nut Roast was divine, with a rich tasty gravy and perfect vegetable’s, what a treat. My last visit to this pub was over 40 years ago when I lived in the area, having such a great venue almost makes me want to move back to Stoke Newington! The party after the meal was well handled and nothing was ever a problem for any of the staff. Well done and I hope my next visit comes sooner than the last.More

We had our wedding reception at the Londesborough in May 2022 and cannot recommend this venue enough for a laidback, fun London wedding with delicious food and an amazing team. The team were super helpful in the run up to the wedding, answered hundreds of...questions and gave us a lot of support and direction, which was much appreciated. Especially Amber was amazing - it almost felt like having an actual wedding planner! The space itself is lovely, and the team even took care of the set up on the day which was amazing. All our guests loved the venue and especially the food and the service. We are so pleased that we chose the Londesborough for our wedding and cannot recommend it enough.More

My wife and I couldn't recommend The Londesborough highly enough as a wedding reception venue. A number of people have been in touch since our day to say theirs was the best food that they'd ever had at a wedding (and people really appreciate being...able to choose on the day rather than having to order weeks in advance). The team at the pub know how to run a wedding like clockwork - the place looked fantastic on the day and they run a really efficient, thoughtful and friendly prep process through Amber. The reception felt special but relaxed - it was exactly what we wanted.More

We had our wedding party at the Londesborough and had an absolutely amazing time with really limited amounts of planning stress in the lead up to the party. Amber and the team were incredibly helpful with everything, running us through the available options and giving...helpful guidance on what they've found to have worked best in the past. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about the level of service, quality of food and generally just the setting itself. I can't recommend them enough.More
