sue qDecember 4, 2014Cozy neighborhood British gastropub. Recommend: scotch egg, fish and chips with mushy peas, pot pies and sticky toffee pudding. Great beer selection.
Wilson ZhouApril 28, 2014Bangers and mash, trio of sausages, the lamb pie, the ploughman’s pork pie...It’s a hint that Hicks, who’s from the Cotswolds, has a bistro background; he was formerly a chef at Orsay and La Goulue.
Morgan McKeeOctober 29, 2017Relaxing Saturday brunch. Nothing that is going to knock your socks off, but good staples and fun garden patio if it’s nice out. Avocado toast eggs benny and fish n chips pictured.
Village VoiceMarch 5, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Jones Wood Foundry to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. Their tasty fish & chips will cause you to forget that you're not actually in England.
ZenFoodsterJanuary 15, 20193-6pm M-F HH w/ $5 beers & wines, $6 cocktail + $5 HH eats (homemade Ricotta, Triple-Cooked Crisps, Trumpets w/ Lemon Curd). Sat & Sun brunch -4pm. Try pies, Oxtail Parpadelle, Bangers & Mash & Curry- Bogdan GhervanNovember 25, 2018Their bacon burger with sesame buns is very good, one of the best I tasted. Good selection of beer and generous selection of wine. It’s a cozy place in a residential neighborhood.
- Joanna FlammMay 10, 2017Very cute pub with a surprising number of tables, including a charming courtyard. Scotch Egg, burger, and steak and mushroom pie were all solid.
On the expensive side but completely worth it if you love British food and beer. On my last visit I had Fullers London Porter, a great pub curry and sticky toffee pudding. Very friendly service too.
Tony XerriDecember 30, 2012I think I had the greatest mashed potatoes of my life here. No joke. If they have the steak and kidney pie, I highly recommend pushing all things aside to make room for this monumental dish. Amazing.
Kiwi WangMay 17, 2017Super friendly staff, great service! As good as brown British food can possibly be (which is pretty good surprisingly) 👍🏼
- Vinaya VishwanathMay 8, 2015What an amazing find! English beers and great english food! Pot pie and sticky toffee pudding were delicious!
Bonnie CarpenterOctober 13, 2014What s hidden gem. Great wine , great service, and a very romantic and intimate restaurant seating in the back.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 19, 2013If you're in search of authentic English pub food, this is your place. While we love the fish and chips, the JWF burger with bacon can't be missed.
Ellen RiellyJuly 20, 2014So good! Try the chocolate pie with sea salt ice cream for dessert. Make a reservation or be prepared to sit at the communal table. Nice outdoor area, decent beer list.
Derrick ChenNovember 24, 2013Closest thing to a proper British pub in NYC. Chicken liver pate was great. Personally prefer soft/medium scotch eggs but still great here. Roast was good.
Staff PicksOctober 21, 2014Try the city's deepest collection of British classics, from plump Meyers of Keswick sausages on a bed of mash, to lesser-known Anglo dishes like kedgeree. Read more
- Jeff ByrnesNovember 30, 2018Perfect place to grab a pint. They have cask ale & Boddington’s on draught.
Charles GuerreroOctober 9, 2014Really quiet for early lunch; great roasted chicken salad, but the standouts are the English pies.
Food is very English but delicious. Try the cocktails--they make great use of just beer and wine. And if you're lucky enough to get Renee as your waitress, all the better!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJuly 25, 2016Especially love eating and drinking at the bar. Their gravlax is delicious.
NearSay NYCJuly 25, 2011The house made marmalade on goat cheese & potted citrus crab among many standouts. For you beer drinkers, don't miss out on the St. Feuillien Triple 9L Salmanazar. You'll thanks us later!
Be sure to ask Stu, or John, for a pint of Tim Taylor Landlord, Yorkshire and Britain’s Champion Beer! 🍺
Mari AbeNovember 18, 2012A true gem on UES. Had crumpets and corned beef hash for brunch. Delicious!! I hear the fish & chips are also a must-have. Will def be back.
Vivian VoMay 15, 2016I was able to switch out the bacon for portobello on the eggs Benedict and it was bombbb- Jane CowlesMarch 30, 2012Fantastically fluffy, scrumptious goat cheese omelette with a fabulous atmosphere. A true Upper East Side gem!
CBS New YorkJune 12, 2015They're serving a special hard-boiled Scotch egg, wrapped in sausage meat and coated in bread crumbs, for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more
Grab a stool on the far end of the bar. You'll want to make friends with your bartenders - Stuart and Dan. Order the scotch egg if you're eating!!
The Fish & Chips are absolutely delicious (and this is coming from a Brit). Nice place with outdoor seating.
Favorite UES bar. Very authentically British. Some of the coolest, nicest and cutest bartenders in town. Try the Scotch egg!
Lindsay DruckerSeptember 20, 2020The pies are so flavorful - tender meats & flaky pastry. Homemade hummus was also so awesome. Skip the grilled salmon, it’s not bad just a bit bland.
ZacharyDecember 6, 2014Steak and kidney pie and fish/chips should be your go to dishes here. Great ciders on tap on my last visit in Oct.
Not easy to accommodate a vegan but they rose to the occasion. Loved the tomato eggplant soup and the asparagus; great wine list too!
Gilt CityMay 31, 2011Jones Wood Foundry recreates the wood-paneled pubs of olde with a sleek blend of pomp and panache. Go for an old-school serving of cottage pie or a beer-battered haddock with irresistible tartar.
Justin OrdovezaJanuary 27, 2017They have English and Irish beers on tap. The sticky toffee pudding is good.
Lauren GilchristJuly 11, 2012Amazing british gastropub with hot bartenders, gorgeous patio, and inventive, if heavy, food. Don't miss the cod and the scotch egg.
Eric FriedmanApril 23, 2012Try the white bait fish appetizer if they have it. It's an entire minnow looking fish deep fried with tarter sauce on the side. It's an adventure for the table.
Deb Hill MacMarch 23, 2013No liquor just beer and wine. Very nice comfortable friendly place. Fish and chips amazing!
Anastasia BezverkhaAugust 29, 2014Tuna tartar and 🍺&🍷 selections!! Very cozy atmosphere. Good place to get a drink and avoid frat boy parties on the UES.
Lori LuoDecember 10, 2014This British gastropub offers all the comforts from across the pond, like Fish & Chips, savory pies, and a full English Breakfast.- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The premises were once a hardware store and foundry, dating to the 19th century. Read more
Demetrius BagleyDecember 25, 2019Vegan options marked on the menu, including one of the popular plant-based burger brands
Stephanie MetcalfSeptember 9, 2012Wait, the Brits have good food!? Who knew. Brunch menu was delicious, especially bangers and mash. Note: no liquor license so only beer/wine, no bloody marys.- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The single-plate meals at Jones Wood Foundry make the best values Read more
Lindsay BrookeMarch 16, 2016All the different types of toast are amazing - be adventurous and try to chicken liver and steak tar tar.
Adriana L.June 6, 2013Best fish and chips I've ever had! Also, apparently, Keith Richards eats here a lot!

"From Eater: Steak au poivre: grilled over apple wood chips. Pig trotters and calves’ feet in the pepper sauce yields a supreme level of stickiness; like coating the beef with savory caramel."
