The Driver
About The Driver
This boutique gastro kitchen is a haven of chic homeliness amongst the hustle and bustle of London's Kings Cross. Located on Wharfdale Street, The Driver is part Manhattan loft, part British boozer with its open fires, reclaimed furniture and cherry red leather sofas - and the restaurant attracts a trendy crowd of both locals and city commuters who fancy a hearty lunch or a cosy evening meal. The restaurant features an exquisite vertical garden designed by Patrick Blanc, and the venue also has a roof terrace with picturesque views of the capital. The international menu has a distinct Brit twist, and we love the basil and watermelon Caiprinias; the salmon and cod fishcakes with shoestring fries; and the wild berry cheesecake.

We ate at The Driver ,King's Cross for the second time last night. Very pleasant experience. Friendly attentive service, food although quite expensive for a pub was worth what we paid and was piping hot and very tastey. Excellent venue for a meal close to King's Cross/ St Pancras before boarding our train.
The Driver, Kings Cross, London. Disappointed to make a booking at a Restaurant and then to turn up and be told there were not enough bookings so instead of eating in what looked like a very pleasant restaurant we had to eat in a noisy bar. The staff tried and the food was good, hot and served quickly but we did want to eat in a Restaurant and perhaps intending diners should check to see where they'll be eating before they book.
Helpful and attentive staff, pleasant atmosphere and delicious food! Ideal place for a relaxed lunch that is very good value for money!
The Driver, London. First floor restaurant - amazing food and great service! Saw the 'purple' and 'red' bars and the roof terrace so would love to go again for a special event.
Lamb steak didn't go down well with me but the rib eye steak was good - my colleagues ordered it. It's a simple pub with quality food and minimal but enjoyable ambience and good value for money.
