Part of a trio of great restaurant slash pubs from the Meredith Group, this is the flagship with a restaurant upstairs and pub with food downstairs effectively making it two different venues in one. The Bull pub and dining room in Highgate and The House in Islington are The Only Running Footman's two sister ventures owned by the same group. The pub is open all year round and has a breakfast menu from 7.30am to 10.30am; scrambled eggs, smoked salmon or the full farmhouse breakfast are a great brunch option. Upstairs, the restaurant does a fine selection of hearty food included steak, grilled meats and pork, served with interesting-sounding dressings - Champagne sauce anyone? - which set the flavours off perfectly. Sides of rocket and stilton salad or hand cut chips indicate the Britishness this place exudes. If you like what you've tasted you can learn how its done as there's an intimate cookery school here where class sizes are kept to five, ensuring you get plenty of tuition time with one of their professional chefs.
