Stockpot (Old Compton St)

I ate there on the 2/9/11.

The food and service was excellent.

Very good falue for money.

The Stockpot (Soho Branch) is a London institution and the existing markings don't do it justice. The food is excellent for what it is - good staple stuff - and the cafe is open at all hours. I defy anyone to find a better omelette in London!

I can only assume an error occurred with the average price quoted (£25!) - at £5 average for a main course, you would be hard-pressed indeed to reach that sort of sum. Additionally, the service is swift and efficient

Ideal pre- or post-theatre venue and puts many a 'finer' restaurant to shame.

I've been going to the Stockpot for the last 30 years, and can honestly say that I've never had bad service! It's great value for money too.

Friends and myself were booked for the Palace Threatre last night so decided to eat in The Stockpot, Old Compton Street and we were all impressed with the food and prices. I mentioned to the waiter we were a bit pressed for time as it was after 6pm and was told it was not a problem. The food arrived all in good time for us to eat and chat and we were entering the theatre at 7.15pm. I would definately visit again.

Awful, had to send my first steak back as it was still mooing, when they brought my meal back it was more grissle than meat, the chips were greasy and the vegetable inedible. Stay away at all costs!

We dont often visit London . I discovered the Stockpot after reading that Sebastian Horsley (RIP) used to pop in for jelly and ice cream.

Anyway I tried the grilled sardine, my wife the fishcakes. We had drinks and desserts and the total was £17.00. I left a £3 tip. Food was fine and filling

Young girl that served us was nice. Great just sitting and watching the world go by.

Thoroughly recommend. Will be returning in September!

My partner & I have been there 2 occasions recently - first time in 20 years. It hasn't changed. Has always been so cheap (starter around £2, main course around £5), they're never "delicious" or "great" but not bad at all for the price you pay.

Menu's quite fancy but the actual dishes all look like out of 1970's cookery book, come with "salad" - shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumber & tomato.

Our waitress was a hard-working girl but the barman (we sat right opposite the bar) was chatting to another waitress the whole time we were there, forgot to serve our drinks. Again for the price we paid, we wouldn't complain.

I would recommend if you ever feel like stuffing your face meaninglessly (don't you ever sometimes...?)

I always bring my lunch to work, but at times when I want to go out and chat up some lads, I'll have to splurge on lunch and I go here. I like it because it's not expensive and I leave with a full belly.

I wish I could just sit and have a glass of lemonade, and that I didn't have to pay for a meal, but i guess that's ok once in a while.

The food is very basic at best and the place just looks dated, tired and not very welcoming. Having said that, it won't break your wallet by any means, and the service was good.
