The Paternoster is a Young’s pub at 2–4 Queens Head Passage beside Paternoster Square and St Paul’s Cathedral. Its central City location works for breakfast, business lunches, after work drinks and informal dinners with friends or colleagues.
The kitchen focuses on British ingredients across daily specials, pub classics and modern versions of familiar dishes. Cider battered haddock, rump steak, pork sausages and a short rib and brisket beef burger sit alongside fishcakes and a plant based burger.
Breakfast and brunch range from eggs on sourdough to a full English, while sandwiches provide a quicker lunch. Bar snacks such as Scotch egg and sausage roll can accompany drinks, and Sunday service adds roast beef and roast chicken with vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
Beer, wine, cocktails and alcohol free choices cover a broad range of visits, from a quick pint to a complete meal. Food is served every day and tables can be booked. Guests with allergies should inform the team before ordering because ingredients, garnishes and shared kitchen processes can change.
Address: 2–4 Queens Head Passage, Paternoster Square, London EC4M 7DZ, England
