I have been going to the dispensary for over a year now and love their home-made pies! There was a bit of a mix up with the bill at the end but all in all I'd definitely recommend a trip there.

Very accommodating when I called an hour before to change table from 4 to 5 people. Given a room to ourselves which was a nice touch, and the food was gorgeous!

Had a great lunch at The Dispensary in Aldgate, London. Service was pretty good and we were made to feel very much at home - loved having lunch on a sofa. Nice busy atmosphere with attentive friendly staff. Portions were a good size and represented great value for money. Would definitely go back!

The Dispensary in Leman Street close to Aldgate is first and foremost an excellent pub serving sublime real ales. Tried Oakam and Nethergate ales paired with a great burger. Excellent.
