Nag's Head, Covent Garden is a historic public house at 10 James Street, directly opposite Covent Garden Underground station. A pub has occupied the address since at least the 1670s, and the venue has been part of the McMullen family of pubs since 1927.
The kitchen serves a broad British pub menu built for anything from a quick lunch to a relaxed dinner. Grazing plates can begin a meal, while burgers, hand-crafted pies and beer-battered fish with chips provide familiar, filling main courses.
McMullen ales sit naturally at the centre of the drinks offer, supported by lager, cider, wine, spirits and alcohol-free choices. Its central position makes the pub convenient before a West End performance, after shopping or for a meeting in Covent Garden.
The upstairs Sapphire Room can also host private celebrations and dining receptions, while the main pub retains a lively everyday atmosphere. Menus and availability change, so guests with allergies should consult the current allergen information and speak with staff before ordering.
Address: 10 James Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8BT, England
