I came to Ven for dinner without a reservation on a Wednesday. They were very friendly and found me a table next to the counter. The dining room is ok, as one would expect. Service is very friendly, but a bit inexperienced at times. The food is solid, well prepared, but nothing exceptional. Again, it’s probably what one would expect. I had the goat cheese starter, followed by a carbonara inspired pasta and the duo of scallops and prawns. I didn’t want to think too much about the wine and decided for the standard pairing: it was based on German white wines and it fitted its purposed. Overall, a good experience for a Wednesday evening.

This feels like a traditional pub you’d expect to find in London. We were with the family and got a table in a convenient smaller room on the left. The service was very helpful and friendly. We had some pints of London Pride to begin. We all had haddock and chips, even the kids. It took a bit longer than expected. The fish looked fresh and has delicate flavor. Chips and peas were well made. Overall, a nice evening with the family in a traditional English pub.
