The Warrington

Located in Little Venice, this is a spectacular traditional Victorian pub. The interior is truly amazing, featuring spectacular stained glass windows, mirrors, ornate pillars and comfy seats and sofas. The bar itself is of dark wood design. Not surprisingly, it is always very busy and I have never managed to secure a seat! Luckily there is seating available outside!
Great emphasis is placed on gourmet food, as The Warrington is a Gordon Ramsay establishment!
This is a truly outstanding pub full of character and a must see!

Not been in this little Gordon ramsay establishment for a while. However on this occasion I was impressed by the perfectly balanced dessert and Murphy s on tap. Will definitely be returning and who knows I may even try a main next time.

Really amazing local pub in the heart of little Venice. On any given day, you will find plenty of local crowds. This is a hotel so very well maintained both inside and out with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. There is also a fancier dining room upstairs. Great place to meet up friends or even find a quiet corner for a private conversation.

Came here with a friend for some cozy pub food, and it was ok!
Nothing stood out as absolutely divine, but everything was good enough to consider returning. The staff, on the other hand, is not great — they all look SO damn tired and overworked, I just wanted to give them all a hug and send them home to a warm bath.

I did expect a better food and beer selection. I was disappointed, the food was not bad just ok. It is a nice pub, it just did not meet my expectations.

Good local pub — everything you would expect from a local pub — chilled staff, some good old fashioned wooded panels and walls … Nice place.
It also serves some food — very basic — Don’t expect any gourmet food.
Not a destination pub but if you are in the area — this may be your best bet.

One of the best burgers I have ever had. I didn’t realize I was in a Ramsay pub, so i figured I’d be safe and order the burger. To my surprise, it was absolutely amazing. Everything in it was of a top grade ingredients, and the flavors and textures were fantastic.

Beautiful, beautiful pub, with tons of outdoor seating. The inside is just the perfect, quintessential establishment, with a dark wood bar, stained glass, and a roaring fire.
Just go for the drinks and for the ambiance, as the food is overpriced and just not good.

This is a tough one. One time I went and it was AMAZING — I had a fantastic fish and chips that was perfectly cooked, they served cocktails on request as it was a special occasion even though they weren’t on the menu, and the service was great. The price was reasonable too. Five stars. SO, we went back one Saturday later. But, it couldn’t have been more different; we were served frozen fries a la Tesco/​chicken shop, the service was poor (until we got a little bit narky later in the night at what we had experienced), and they wouldn’t serve us the drinks they had the last time (even despite our bad experience). One star. I will go back as the first experience was so strong, but until then 3 stars.

Mix reviews for the Warrington, as the last time we went at the end of November I couldn’t get my steak meal which left me heartbroken (as you can tell from my last review). The chips we ordered came out as frozen French fries from a bag without any warning that they wouldn’t the homemade ones from before. A big letdown from the previous visit. Instead, I ordered the paprika chicken. So misleading because the title suggests it’s going to have lots of flavour. It was so bland, I was so disappointed with my «diet» dish. The waitress did try her best to make up for our disappointment, bless her. She gave us all she could to make up for it. It was just a series of unfortunate events for the Warrington that night. Hopefully the next time will better.

A local. It’s a decent pub if you’re nearby with nice architecture and a goodamount of seating inside and out for the summer. Legend has it that it used to be called the randy as it’s off randolph avenue and may have been a brothel. #teammaida

A friend of ours celebrated his birthday here.
Knowing him, I was expecting something in Camden or Soho but hey, the Warrington is close to his place so yeah…
To be honest, it didn’t impress me much. It’s big, Gordon Ramsey owns it (most people say it was much better before he bought it) it’s expensive (£12 for a vodka orange and a Kopparberg) and the «locals» are some old farts with huge bellies, who are very drunk and they really try to impress you by pinching your bum.
The toilets are unisex– which is a great idea– but again, if you’re stuck with the old drunks in there — no fun!
Gypsy bands lurk around the pub and once they start playing, you are surrounded by young boys asking for money… and they insist.
The place has a very Victorian air to it and the garden, again, is big. On a Friday night it’s very crowded — I don’t think there was anyone inside, except for the people at the bar.
Obviosuly, I had to wait ages until I got my drink.

Came here at the end of the day to grab something to eat. I feel like this is kind of pricey for mediocre food. We tried the Warrington burger and the crispy duck leg. The burger is quite large and comes with a lot of cheese! It was a little overcooked, but not bad. The duck was kind of dry, don’t think I’d order this again. The pub décor is really beautiful, and they were holding a trivia night when we came by. Seems like a nice place to meet with friends, but not somewhere I’d go for food.

Great Victorian style pub. Good wine list. Prices are good too. Try the vodka, soda and lime cocktail.

This pub has character and lots of it. It is incredibly cozy and welcoming. I stayed for hours and thoroughly enjoyed my time. This is where I had a sampling of a lot of British foods. Some hits, some not so much. I’ve decided I can’t go wrong with bangers and mash, anything with chips involved, and salads. Their sausage roll and Scotch egg also made a good impression.
The prices were reasonable and the staff was incredibly friendly and fast. I should have taken them up on their offer to return for New Year’s Eve.

The most gorgeous pub I’ve ever been in. A cozy fireplace with a big leather couch, comfy chairs and bookcases.
The service was a little off, but I was too busy thinking about snogging Russell Brand on that leather couch in front of the fireplace to mind.

Definitely agree that it is a beautiful pub but didn’t have a chance to eat in the restaurant on the 1^st floor. I was a little underwhelmed with the menu selection as I didn’t feel there were enough to chose from. I had the sausage roll to start and then a burger. It was okay — but willing to try the restaurant upstairs.

I strongly disagree with the negative reviews on here. I love this place.
Will I forgive the waitress at the bar who drooled at the sight of my boyfriend when we walked in? Maybe not.
Will i forgive the waitress for giving me no eye contact during service?
Maybe i will.
The pub downstairs is beautiful, i have photos of this place i need to upload for all of you, please try it! Lovely atmosphere, reasonable prices and good food.

Dear Gordon and your holding company,
I feel that the vibe and atmosphere have evaporated from The Warrington since you took it over.
No longer can my friends, family and I come here and relax in the homely feeling that the ship-​like décor used to provide.
No longer can I go for a formidable Thai meal for a reasonable price at Ben’s above The Warrington.
All of the old regulars have seemed to be evaporated… I even heard stories of old «undesirable» regulars being barred for ridiculous reasons so as to gentrify the place. Impossible and improbable, I am certain Mr Ramsey.
Even though long before you got your greeezy mitts on the place, the fantastic ritual of being able to sit on the large grassy roundabout was banned, I ask you…
«Where has the vibe gone? Did you asset strip it?!?»

Just come back from this pub, so forgive any fuzzy errors. My local, and definitely one of my favourites.
Fortunately when Gordon Ramsey took over and gastro-​pubbed this place he didn’t change much. The gorgeous art nouveau style panelling is still there. I think there was maybe a dart board before, and he did kick out Ben’s Thai from upstairs though (‘dang!’ a Maida Vale institution), but fortunately they have found a new home in the Sam Smith pub down the road. I also think the pub looks quintessentially English as has two big red telephone boxes outside. I’m sure they are there just for show (I bet you Ramsey rents them), as I have never seen anyone use them ever.
Good beer and wine menu. I haven’t tried the food here yet, I have to admit from all reports I don’t hold high hopes, especially after the frozen ready meal controversy (see Wikipedia). However they appear to have a reasonable price set menu for autumn so I will come back, and let you know how it works out.
