  • Outstanding pub restoration

The nearest pub to Westminster Cathedral, popular with locals and business people. It had been the Cardinal for many years, commemorating Westminster’s nineteenth century Cardinal Manning, before Sam Smiths controversially gave this pub back its original name in 2011.

Very tastefully refurbished by SS, it has several separate impressively screened drinking areas, a comfortable lounge to the rear and an attractive upstairs room hireable out for functions. Two fine lanterns enhance the entrances.

The food offering includes bar snacks, lunchtime sandwiches, and pub favourites. See venue website for offers.

Patrons should note that there is a strict "no swearing" policy in Samuel Smith's establishments. Also by decision of the brewery owner, customers may not use mobile phones (except for payments), laptops or similar inside the pub; tablets and iPads are prohibited inside or outside. The brewery's policy is that its pubs are for social conversation person to person.

This is one of the very few SS pubs allowed its own website.
