The Queen’s Larder is a characterful historic pub at 1 Queen Square in Bloomsbury, London. The tavern traces its documented history to 1710 and takes its name from the story of Queen Charlotte storing provisions nearby while George III received medical treatment in the square.
Food is served at lunchtime, with a straightforward menu grounded in British pub cooking. Fish and chips, sausage and mash, steak and ale pie, burgers and ploughman’s plates provide substantial choices, while soup and salads offer a lighter route through the selection.
Hot and cold sandwiches include combinations such as bacon and brie, tuna mayonnaise, roast beef with horseradish and cod fish fingers with lemon mayonnaise. Garlic bread, chips and fish goujons also work as smaller bites for customers whose main purpose is a drink and conversation.
The compact ground floor has a traditional pub feel, with an upstairs lounge that can be booked and outside benches overlooking the square. Real ale is a particular focus, making The Queen’s Larder a natural stop for a pint, but its proper lunch menu also supports an unhurried meal in historic Bloomsbury.
