A short stroll away from London’s Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square & Covent Garden, the Coal Hole serves classic British pub food in a welcoming, warm environment. Rumour has it the pub occupies what was once the Savoy Hotel’s coal cellar; in Edwardian times, Gilbert & Sullivan regularly performed on the premises.Since Nicholson’s pubs were first established in 1873, these traditional British inns have become synonymous with warm hospitality, hearty pub food and a speciality range of ales. As well as always featuring British pub classics like beer-battered fish & chips and gammon & eggs, the Coal Hole menu is complemented by a rotating selection of pie, sausage & chop and fish specials for each season.The Coal Hole bar is always stocked with exquisite gins, warming whiskies and fine wines to pair with favourite meals, and there’s always a superb range of seasonal and regional real ales on offer. A constant at the bar is the St Austell-brewed Nicholson’s Pale Ale, made with Cornish Maris Otter malts, and a hand-picked blend of English hops.The Coal Hole on the Strand is a 9-minute walk from Temple Tube Station. Dishes displayed on a la carte menus are representative of the type of food available at the restaurant.
