The SceneOutside, two flags wave: One for merry olde England, the other for the nation that kicked its butt. Inside is a letter-perfect British pub, with dark-wood paneling, granny-style wallpaper and a cozy fireplace. The long wooden bar in back serves seven excellent brews on draft, and darts are available to entertain. But it's not a raucous bar full of hooligans, but a family-friendly hangout.The FoodEngland may not be known for its cuisine, but the pub grub here is always comforting. Goliath-sized tiger shrimp are fried golden brown in Bass ale batter, yet still ooze a lush creamy center. Many dishes come partnered with classic "chips"--thick-cut steak fries--meant to be doused with malt vinegar. Vegetarians can order eggplant rarebit, a dish of breaded and fried eggplant medallions awash in a cheesy sauce.

A first class pub with a wide variety of E.nglish dishes, great beer and wonderful port. Music differs nightly fron swing, to jazz to Scottish fidlers.Staff are friendly and owner stays fully involved.

Closest thing to being in the UK that you can find in the South Bay. Great food, atmosphere, and beer. Unfortunately, too pricey!

I've told you more than once, Andrew, you have the nicest place to visit, maybe in all of Los Angeles. And if anyone else is listening, I never lie to Andrew. Food, drinks, friends, music: it's all good. sabadash

One of the best dining experiences we have had. We went for the 4 course wine dinner and a great time. The service and food was exceptional. Very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. The first time I have given any restaurant a 5 star rating.
