I have had the opportunity to enjoy both business lunch meals with clients, and an evening meal with my spouse at the Church Key. The food was excellent all round. The soups had flavours that I had never experienced before, and were incredible! The service was prompt and friendly. The prices were reasonable. What more can be said? Every time it has been a very enjoyable experience.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants great food for a reasonable price in downtown London.
We have been to the Church Key several times, everything that we have ever ordered was great, a nice patio atmosphere during the summer/fall; service was friendly and prompt; their Sunday brunch is amazing, but sshh! don't tell anyone!
I went here only a few days after opening and they already had their stuff together nicely.
Nice church style and antique decor meets sleek tables and design. Nice patio outside overlooking Richmond Row.
I believe my party was served by one of the owners. She was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Service was very good overall.
I had a couple of beer and the Plowman's Plate. Food was tasty and well prepared, and my beers were in good shape. I would like to see more micro beers available, but the addition of Unibroue here is a fantastic thing, and I hope they stay with this sort of selection.
Overall, this is a very good start for London's newest gastropub. I'll be back in no time.
The Church Key is a fantastic addition to the London restaurant scene, and fills a welcome gap in the gastro pub offerings in the city.
The space has been brightened up since taking over the space from Copperfields, and has a perfect mix of regular tables, bar tables and patio space.
We've been several times and have tried to sample as much of the menu as possible and we have yet to be disappointed. You can't go wrong with any of the appetizers, especially the Ploughman's Plate or the mushroom tart.
On our most recent visit, we had the devil'd scotch egg to start and fish and chips for our mains. The Fish is perfectly fried, and the devil'd Scotch egg is a great creation!
Be warned...portions at the Church Key are generous! You'll get your fill regardless of what you order!
