SquareMeal Review of The Somers Town Coffee House

Bronze Award

Despite its confusing name, this lively, “young-minded” refuge from the grimy backstreets of Euston is emphatically a pub – complete with funky sofas, pumping music and a casual menu of on-trend tapas-style dishes. There are also up to 10 real ales on the pumps at the bar, or you can sip a continental brew such as Erdinger with some  enterprising small plates – think beef and Stilton croquettes, minced pork and marmalade rolls, de-shelled mussels in ale and spring onion sauce or carrot, coriander and orange fritters with fresh herb dressing. The menu also advertises handmade burgers, trendy salads and deli-style sandwiches, as well as some re-invented ‘pub classics’ – how about Cumberland sausages with Scotch egg, creamed mustard mash, parsnip crisps and red wine reduction. If beer isn’t your tipple, dip into the well-chosen global wine list.

About

While this venue's name might conjure images of a quaint coffee shop, it's actually a historic pub, sitting in a central location close to both Kings Cross and Euston stations. Situated in one of London's most storied areas, this four-floor building offers four venues in one, with a basement cocktail bar, ground-floor restaurant and pub, as well as private dining rooms, meeting spaces and a five-star apartment up top. 

The restaurant is the perfect place to get together with friends and family, with a food menu that's served all day and into the evening, and a homely welcome to young families with children, as well as furry friends. There are three menus to peruse depending on whether you're there for weekday breakfast and brunch, all-day dining, or weekend brunch. Whenever you grab a table, though, all menus are underpinned by a committment to fresh food, with the team working with British fisherman to provide diners with day-boat fish and UK-sourced oysters, as well as farmers across the country for quality beef. 

Because of this, menus are likely to change but the website offers a taste of what to expect with a sample. Here, you'll find delights such as St Austell Bay mussels with garlic, white wine and cream for starters, followed by options like chicken and mushroom pie with charred leeks, mash and liquor, or signature favourites of Butcher's cut or market fish. 

For dessert, we like the sound of sticky toffee with butterscotch and vanilla ice cream, alongside chocolate torte with salted caramel and candied walnuts. It's what the team like to call pub grub done well. In terms of the vibe, think gentlemen's smoking room, with dark, polished wood, vintage furniture and bookshelves running across the walls - some of which give way to secret passages!
