One of my favorite restaurants. I've tried half of the menu (and some of the specials) and have yet to be disappointed.Vegetarian options: The halloumi and smoked mushroom dip are my favorite things on the menu... both vegetarian.

I've visited the Church Key frequently through the years for special occasions and pre theater. I have never been anything but impressed. Unique, amazing food. Impeccable service. Upscale but still cozy and classy with a true pub decor. Several years later, still my best go to place for a special night.

Great atmosphere, the staff is very friendly and the wooden interiors give it an elegant heritage vibe. Food was good too, though I would have liked more options on the menu including some vegan and vegetarian options. Overall, good experience!

My husband and I used to go here quite often while he was living there. He'd moved so it'd been a few years since we'd been able to go back. We finally had the chance to and we had a mixed reaction! While the entrees were still good, the service was amazing and we like the atmosphere, we were SO disappointed they stopped serving the pretzel bread. This was one of our favourite parts of coming here as it was served warm, was super fresh, served with a delicious dijon butter. We were informed they still offer it but for a price - we went ahead and ordered it, but it was not the same at all - it was dry and almost falling apart. Our server explained they'd had issues with the bread hence them no longer offering it upon arrival. Anyway - while the food was still good, we really wish they had the old pretzel bread as it was just so delicious!!

Went there for lunch the first time around and it was a very loud atmosphere so if you want that quieter dining experience at lunch then maybe somewhere else is good. Went more recently for dinner, the energy was a bit more subdued - i should mention that comments on atmosphere are NOT negative just want people to be aware, we were not bothered. Food was good and drinks as usual in any restaurant- over priced but hey drinks! I recommend this place, it’s a great spot in downtown London!

Our first visit was fab and had us planning a second shortly after cocktails and apps. Everything was the delicious and the service warm and welcoming.
Great dining experience, brisket is smoked on site using charcoal - that is a rarity in London. Fantastic service in a great setting. It certainly has changed since I was last there on NYE 2000 when it was Copperfields, but that is to be expected. Highly recommended and will visit again soon.

This is our favourite restaurant in London! We’ve always had excellent service, the food is always delicious and the atmosphere is perfect (relaxed, upscale pub vibe.) Favourite appetizer is the mushroom dip ?
