The Food

We were a party of four so we ordered four different dishes from the menu. We went with English Breakfast, Beef Burger and Chips, Fish and Chips and Shepherd's pie. 

The English Breakfast was a Hong Kong high of around 248 dollars plus a drink. I'm not sure why the London House set their dish at at least 80 dollars more than the next English Breakfast but I was keen to found out. How would they reinvent something which basically is about the ingredients and just requires hearty portions? Well they just placed it on a fine looking board and made it look fancy. The food was not of high quality, the toast was too hard, tomatoes too soggy, the eggs were not seasoned, the beans sauceless, bacon burnt. Pretty much every component of this dish did not taste good.

The Beef Burger and Chips followed the theme of average. The burger was rather tasteless and did not have much beef taste. The chips were ok.

The Fish and Chips and the Shepherd's pie were the better dishes but still at a pricey HKD198.  I was told the fish was quite good and although the pie looked small it was very filling.

The Environment/Ambience
Looks like a UK pub but a little classier. TST East is always good for a drink and sharing platters. 

The Service

Nothing wrong with the service. Nothing exceptional.

The Verdict

Do not waste your money. I get the idea of bringing London to Hong Kong but why are you bringing the Central London prices as well? HK$248 for an English Breakfast? Crazy. The prices are unreasonable and just for the looks, the content is nothing special and I cannot bring myself to say it was even tasty.  Avoid.
