"Love the atmosphere of this place. This was our first time and so the idea that you finish cooking your steak to your idea of perfection on a hot stone was awesome! The choice on the menu was wonderful and we all wanted to come back before we are it looked so good. The concept is that the steaks are just sealed in the kitchen and served to you on hot stones. They all come served rare with a salt a butter and a sauce. You take the stakes of the stone immediately so they don't burn, and then you cut a piece put your butter salt and sauce if you want on the stone, then put your piece of steak on the stone to finish cooking it and seasoning it like you want. I like my steak very rare so the way it came out with was perfect and it didn't need my cooking. However because of how quickly they see the steak in the kitchen, it does need seasoning so whether you use the salt straight on your steak or on the stone, you do need to use it. Our waitress was wonderful, and suggested that even though a few of us didn't want butter salt or sauce that we should get it. She was right. She also recommended that one of our party didn't have the sliced steak, even though it is still tasty, it's not a good representation of the restaurant for our first visit. The side orders were pretty good. The fries, sweet potato fries, jacket potato, onion rings and garlic mushrooms were all great. The huge disappointment were the seasonal vegetables. They tasted precut and microwaved, and if they weren't microwaved they were old before they were boiled. You can see in the picture each piece of vegetable was very small and for the price that was a serious disappointment.  The waitress was again wonderful with our drinks, with no cocktail menu she went behind the bar and made a long island iced tea herself which was delicious. Even the bill wasn't that bad when it came however, the £1 cover charge each was pretty irksome. Overall the service and the food was great and we will definitely be back to the chain."

"Pimlico £6.70 Yes IPA The Cask Pub Kitchen is located in a residential area in Pimlico SW1. The nearest Tube is Pimlico, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This pub opened in 2009 as London's first craft beer focussed pub. This site used to be the home of The Pimlico Tram pub named after the Tram that used to travel between Pimlico and Brixton. This pub is part of the Grade II listed Lillington Gardens Estate which was built in the 1960’s. This is a bright and airy one bar pub that is surprisingly spacious inside. The servery is situated on the back wall and has a high gloss wood grained counter. The decor is modern with a mixture of traditional and contemporary seating, the orange banquettes really stand out. There is a herringbone floor throughout, around the walls are unique framed beer prints. For the warmer months there are tables and chairs around the front of the pub. The beer selection is impressive with 10 cask options, 32 taps and a multitude of bottles plus a Vintage Beer Cellar to choose from. Prices range from £5.50 Pints up to a vintage Belgium bottled beer (deep breath) that costs £1850. I stayed within budget and decided on a pint of Yes IPA, my pint was excellent, price point was a little high. The food menu is a selection of burgers with vegan and veggie options, a Cheeseburger and fries costs £17.50. I arrived around 5pm on a Friday afternoon for an afterwork pint. The pub was fairly busy with a mixed crowd of beer connoisseurs, local workers and those in the know. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed as punters enjoyed their variety of tipples. I had a catch up with one of the owners who is clearly passionate about all things beer. We spoke about trade and some of the challenges he faces with more people now working from home post covid. I must admit, i’m not the most adventurous drinker but visiting the @caskpubsw1 was a very enjoyable experience. So if you know your Porter’s from your Pilsner’s and your Stout’s from your IPA’s, this is definitely a must visit London pub. Info correct on visiting 08.03.24"
