Description

Set in a modern, glass-fronted building, the Paternoster sits right next to St Paul's Cathedral, providing the perfect metaphor for London today: the modern juxtaposed against the traditional. This theme continues inside, the Paternoster is set in a bright, airy, open plan space but still retains the traditional values that encapsulate the British pub.

We're extremely proud of our menu at the Paternoster and select only the best of British ingredients with each season. We offer a selection of traditional English and modern dishes along with sandwiches at lunch time. Our Head Chef, Michael dreams up some beautiful daily specials, using the best seasonal ingredients that the British Isles has to offer.

Service was a bit of a mess. Food came sporadically with things missing (we were the only customers!). visited Paternoster on 12 Jul 2017

Cosy place that has good offers every now and then. We got a free drink for St Patrick's day for example, which was to be redeemed through their app. They have a few tables outside which has a nice view of St Pauls.

We had a great evening and will be back - but the only quibble I had was that although we had been told waiting staff would regularly come over and take orders, in practice we had to go over to the bar and order in the usual way far more often than I would have liked - particularly in the first hour or so. Obviously this meant that we had to spend more time queueing for beer than actually talking to our guests. Several times we asked for someone to come over to our area but this didn't happen. visited Paternoster on 22 Jun 2017

We really enjoyed our evening in the Paternoster. Nice big airy space with a good buzz. Excellent selection of beers, all of which were fresh and tasty (and not overly expensive for a city pub). Limited food menu but the burgers were very good indeed (not overcooked as they are in many pubs). And the table service was first class. This was a good find and we will come again. Thanks guys. visited Paternoster on 14 Jun 2017

We held an area for post-marathon food & drinks & had a great afternoon/evening, The space was just right & staff were amazing considering there were over 30 of us! We didn't have to put down a deposit which made it all the much better as not many places in London will let you do this! The food was good and all reasonably priced too. Would certainly recommend! visited Paternoster on 23 Apr 2017

Hello, Thanks for your great review! We are pleased that you enjoyed your time at The Paternoster. I believe this was the booking in the snug area under the name Phillipa Norton, who ran in the London Marathon with 4 others. Congratulations to you all! We hope to see you again very soon.

I have an allergy and asked a waiter about menu. He had to go back to get a special menu (which is fine) but he showed a list and just said I can't have a couple of things on the menu, rather than catering / suggesting alternative options. I always inform / ask the same question at restaurants and they always know the menus and offer alternative choices (even at much cheaper restaurants) or cater. My partner recommended the place and I expected something better.... dissapointment visited Paternoster on 21 Apr 2017

Had specifically booked a table for 10 by the window. When we arrived another group was already using our table and we were directed to a table in the "snug" which was very dark. There also seemed to be a shortage of chairs for our snug table because a settee had been positioned for one place setting - very odd. Eventually we moved to another table in the middle of the pub where it was extremely noisy. Food was average at best - Won't be returning anytime soon. visited Paternoster on 07 Apr 2017

Good standard pub grub. French fries had to be replaced as they were cold. Table booked from 6:30 and kept all evening, didn't get slung off for another booking. visited Paternoster on 29 Mar 2017

This was the ideal location for drinks with the girls. A small but interesting cocktail menu, lovely surroundings. The place has a lively but laid back atmosphere. The staff were also friendly. The only letdown were the cocktails themselves which were mostly made up of ice, but all else 5*

Food was lovely, service was a little slow but we were a large party of 14 so is probably quicker for a smaller party. Desserts took ages to come out, but the cost was taken off the bill for us in the end. visited Paternoster on 21 Mar 2017

I had the sausage sandwich which was nice but my friend had the fish finger sandwich which she said wasn't nice at all. The bread was cut unevenly so she had thin sliced bread on one side of the sandwich and thick cut bread on the other side. Also, the fish finger batter was very greasy and not crisp and the fish inside wasn't much better. She only ate the bread and chips in the end. visited Paternoster on 15 Mar 2017

Hi Charlotte, Amelia and the wonderful Valentina!!!

Absolutely awful. The service was so slow, it took 45 minutes for a fish finger sandwich and some deep fried baby squid to arrive and it was cold when it finally came out! I had to ask twice where the food was and nobody knew what was going on. We were just left sitting there waiting, not one person checked on us to see if we were ok. I would avoid this place in future!! visited Paternoster on 06 Mar 2017

Poor visit - slow service - starters came out with mains to which we were told they weren't put through to come out separately - isn't that the idea of starters?? - when the food did eventually come out (it was very late) it was apparent it had been sitting because it was only just an ok temperature to eat. The peppercorn sauce as more like brown water. Very flavourless. - due to the time it had already taken we had no time to fuss because it was a lunch between work. Once we ate we waited a further 20 mins for half the table to be cleared. The other half was left for another 15 mins - we ordered desserts which also took a very long time to come and again it was apparent they had just been sitting there for quite some time because the ice cream was half melted across the plates. Overall very disappointed! The only reason this has a second star is because at least they managed to get the food orders correct despite the other issues visited Paternoster on 22 Feb 2017

We was given the area we requested which was an ideal space. As it was inside the building there was little venterlarion and it soon became very hot and stuffy. We asked for the AC to be turned on, which it was but then turn off again some 15/20 mins later as it was on a timer, so we were told. We therefore had to repeat our requests for the AC back on. I specifically requested the food be served at 6.15pm as I wanted to ensure all my guests had the opportunity to eat before they left. After I complained to the manager at 6.55pm the food finally started to arrive at 7.00pm. By this time 20% of my guests had left or where leaving as it arrived leaving me feel very frustrated. The waiter we had was very good and looked after us vey well. When the final bill was issued by the manager there was no apology or mention of the food arriving 45 minutes late and no suggestion of a discount as a good will gesture. Wound I use The Paternoster again, No, other than if I was unable to find an alterntive revue. visited Paternoster on 16 Feb 2017

Great to be able to reserve a table for drinks, but sadly when ordering food there were a lot of items no longer being served. The bar staff weren't at all apologetic about it and just shrugged shoulders asking what we wanted instead. Its a pub that can't serve reliable amounts of pub grub. Good choices of drinks though, but not a food place at all. visited Paternoster on 09 Feb 2017
