We loved the food when it was run by chef Ollie and his wife Carrie, and that almost made up for the lack of atmosphere. However, now that it's been bought by the village, and expertly run by Matt, we can see where his predecessor went wrong! This is not in the right location to be a gastro pub. Now... More

We've been visiting the Seven Stars for several years now after reading an article in the Evening Standard. We continue to go back and go back for several very valid reasons. The atmosphere is exceptional. warm, cosy, quaint and eccentric all rolled into one. It is ancient and is quirky and just delightful. I've read a review of someone criticising... More

We visited at lunchtime on Friday 18 Jan 2013 in a snowstorm! Two whisky macs quickly ordered and much warming! We loved it. The Seven Stars is unique and quirky - don't go there if you like Weatherspoons & MacDonalds! It is judiciary meets theatre (both are show-offs!), with much ambience and reparte! A complementary watering hole amidst Lincoln's Inn,... More

So much character, so much history - all within a tiny space. Can't be beat for a perfect night in London.

I'm afraid I much prefer the Wetherspoon's pub, the Knights Templar, just down the road. The Seven Stars is small, cramped, and dingy. The front of the pub houses a weird collection of objects on display for passers by. The pub has a cat (who wears a ruff), which is allowed to roam around the pub, including on surfaces on... More

This is my favourite pub in London by far. Many people miss it, as it's tucked around the back of the Law Courts, but it's one not to miss. It's a tiny proper pub, with excellent beer and food. The menu tends to be 5 or 6 dishes, it depends what's good in the markets that day. All the food... More

This is an exceptional little historic pub tucked away behind the Royal Courts of Justice. Serves great beer (Hophead, Adnams). It's just a shame about the landlady. She's the plump woman with pink hair; calls herself Roxy Burgundy I think. Service "never with a smile" and keeps you waiting while she chats to mates. Then stares at you as if... More

This is a great pub, it has real ales and serves handmade food. The bar has a lot of charm and an old atmosphere- because it is behind the Royal COurts of Justice there may be a lot of lawyers discussing cases or friends just meeting for a real ale or to sample things like game pie off the small...

A nice pub behind the Royal Court of Justice with plenty of character, including the hostess and the pub cat. Have a pint, sit back and enjoy. Gets full during lunchtime.

An interesting little place full of history and character, and superbly run by Ms Beaujolais. I loved the small menu, our lunch was absolutely delicious. We had excellent service and a cat to stroke, just purfect!
