The Trading House in City of London

I have been here many times over the years for lunch, dinner, drinks, hosted a Christmas party there (hired the whole venue, it was fantastic!) and have also booked various areas for smaller parties and work events.Always have a great time, the hanging kebabs are delicious and the staff are really helpful too.

Budvar on tap. Busy bar area, good seating if you're eating. Good atmosphere and friendly staff

Busy, but then it's Christmas party season so expected.There's very lottie natural light which for some might help with atmosphere, but for me felt a little oppressive.Beers are good and there's a half decent selection of whisky also.The Christmas menu is very filling. Soup was excellent, turkey skewers slightly over done, dessert rather filling on top of everything else, but tasty.

Good bar staff great beers and impressive interior makes the visit a great experience,. Do try the Munich Gold beer, it's not served everywhere and it's great.

Good looking place with friendly knowledgeable staff and good quality drinks!

Popped here on a busy the night - I thought this place would be somewhat cool but was definitely overcrowded.The crowd had their affect on the bar staff, whom were unable to serve drinks in a timely manner, or just didn't seem to know who they were serving, they were pretty much all over the place and I have to say most of them (including the wait staff) seemed "lost" as to what they should be doingOverall I would not advise on this venue for a drink or hosting any form of gathering.

Food and service excellent , stand out mention to our server Jae she went above and beyond when I had a small issue with my burger. The cookie dough oreo ice cream though wow that was a delicious

Fantastic restaurant, food was amazing, no complaints, I would definitely recommend The Trading House. Will definitely be going back there. I've never gone out and had a vegetarian meal, the halloumi burger and the heritage tomato salad was the best.

My aim is to review 50 pubs in London (that I've never been to) in 2020 so here is number 1. So why 5 stars. Well it's a Wednesday night and this place has a gentle but lovely vibe. It's not noise toxic, just very subtle. There was a chap seated at a piano playing and singing oasis. The decor in the evening was beautiful (check out the photos). Staff friendly and plentiful meaning getting served was quick and easy with the massive horseshoe shaped bar. I always think a tidy bar is a good bar. The original reason I came here was to grab a bite to eat but they had just stopped serving (9pm), my bad. I therefore cannot comment on food quality but I did think the prices seemed reasonable off the menu I viewed online. Maybe not for everyone but the 1am close on a Wednesday night may suggest it has plenty of clientele midweek. Enjoy

Decent vibe, live music so that was lovely. Staff not as friendly, felt that it was the last place they wanted to be at (when I'm being charged service charge the least they can do is smile). Food took a really long time to come and I cant say was the nicest either. Didnt finish my main or dessert (and I am usually liking my plates clean, especially for desserts). If I go back it would be for drinks only. Definitely recommend it for drinks and mingle.
