Cellar Taps

Unbeatable Burgers and Friendly Faces!

Stepping into The Cellar Taps feels akin to uncovering a well-guarded secret, nestled comfortably in a nook of London's bustling pub scene. The dive's aesthetic flirts with the modern yet retains just enough old-world charm to keep nostalgic souls invested. As you settle into the cozy ambiance, a smiling staff, decked in aprons and an air of welcoming professionalism, clearly sets the tone for an evening worth relishing. It’s this attentive service that frames your experience here, so remarkably consistent in ensuring that no pint is poured in haste, nor is a burger served without its fitting gourmet flair.

While the atmosphere alone could carry the day, it’s the kitchen's choreography that steals the show. Signature dishes line up like ensemble members performing in tandem—each elevating the other, from succulent roasts seaming perfectly under their crispy crowns to the outrageously delicious burgers that have patrons coming back week after week. Vegetarians aren’t left wanting; the surprising twist of seitan and imaginative fries spread options grand enough to stop any seasoned critic mid-nourish. Whether stopping in for football (a wall plush with screens awaits) or for a more intimate affair orchestrated by manager Tom and his skilled brigade, there’s always a story brewing at The Cellar Taps, each telling and tasting as engaging as the last. — Audrey Al Dente
