- Wow. What a special video I have for you today. I was able to make a visit to Rules Restaurant in Covent Garden which is not only the oldest restaurant in London but also one of the world's most famous restaurants. Rules was also used in the James Bond 007 film, Spectre in 2015. Let's give it a go!

As an American, I feel nothing but envy. Rejoice, Britain!
Thank you this was wow 👍
Hi Gary, I love how you show the whole menu, so we can pause the video and read through it in its entirety. How dare anyone call Irish Coffee a "Cocktail", it should be a staple of everyone's daily diet 😝
There is too much good stuff to choose on that menu. I would have ended up with one of everything! 🤣
Any place offering Venison on their menu gets my full respect. Venison is just so difficult to get right. I do not want it totally raw but if they overcook it, it is like chewing leather.
Before we get into the eating, I think the choices of food you made were excellent, all of it looked delicious.
I could never criticise anyone for their food dislikes; especially if they were linked to intolerances or allergies but mushrooms do seem to go perfectly well with pies. I would consider mushrooms to be most appropriate with chicken but they work well with steak also. So, thank you for trying them and getting the full experience.
Sorry!?! Never be sorry for enjoying and eating the food! It is nice to know that it is actually worth eating.
"The best crumble I have ever had in my life"...WOW! That is a mega statement and coupled with what is on the menu, I really need to visit this place!
Gary, you know how much a love this channel and I will support it as best I can forever! But, please, please, please we must not question the "price". We must only question the "value". It was most definitely value for money and thanks for your amazing review, I will be going there myself in the not too distant future. If people are only concerned about "price" then they have plenty of options between McDonald's, Burger King, KFC or any of the numerous high street chicken shops for basic sustenance and filling their belly! 🤣
Gary, I have no words again.
Thank you so much for your support of the channel and your outrageous generosity.
I appreciate the kind words and yes, the crumble was something special. Completely valid point on value/price - sometimes it can be difficult to gauge but all I will say is that Rules is superb and you will have a great time.
Take care and have a good weekend.
Thats what would Call proper Pub Grub Gazza
My kind Grub , that Pud to die For , Well Scored
Thanks for giving it a Good ole Fashioned GO
Great Vid 👌👍
I had my 60th birthday meal there with my family and sister came over from Australia. We loved every minute.
Absolutely brilliant to hear Steve. Very intrigued to what you ordered
I believe that they do a fantastic Sunday lunch, as a retired London chauffeur I spent many an evening outside Rules, they always brought coffee out to the chauffeur which was complimentary
Now that, I love !
I would love to do that. Maybe in the summer although I would presume extremely busy and would make it borderline impossible to film
The roast dinner is amazing, beef just perfect.
Now that’s a sign of class !
Wow, that is so nice!
One of my favourite Old-school London restaurants. Many happy meals in Rules. A true British classic
A wonderful restaurant and I'm really glad you enjoyed it
When I went there they encouraged us to walk up all 3 floors to look round and the private dining rooms up the little narrow staircase we're a sight indeed
If you ordered Stilton, they used to bring you the whole truckle and a spoon, Send it back when you had had sufficient. That was 40 years ago, I'm guessing they don't do that anymore
@@BarryR. Same. Also the most spectacular toilets in London. Wouldn't fancy having to polish all that copper piping lol
They serve Happy Meals? Weird.
Every part of that meal looked gorgeous - all hand made and well worth the 30 minute wait. Real quality food. £50 in central London for quality and proper portions isn't really too bad, and worth the price for a special occasion or treat. I'd say it is a 10.
I full6 understand your score a fabulous restaurant
I gave it a 10. If I lived in UK, I would book me a Sunday Lunch there, including wine. I would need a place to lie down after though. I miss good English grub, down here in SW France. With my first job around 1959, I enjoyed, with my luncheon vouchers, wonderful lunches in the old pubs in Holborn, London. Still strong in my memories.
Makes one proud to be British. What provenance! Thanks for bringing all these great dining experiences to us, Gary.
Your welcome Dale and thank you as always have a great weekend
@@GaryEats it’s one of those crumbles not one of them crumbles. Please get your grammar, right 21:15
What a wonderful traditional British vibe and I think we should be celebrating our own food more than we do. When well cooked with good ingredients, it can not only hold its own with many other cuisines, but actually surpasses them. Eating that 'shroom' was well above the call of duty Gary. A true food reviewer to give it a go! I think it's the sort of establishment where I'd really enjoy having wine with my meal too. Now I always thought tapenade was generally made with black olives, so the tomato was a new one on me and I'm not sure I completely loved the look of it on the broccoli, but the taste can be something different I know. I really loved the look of those dauphinoise potatoes though. Overall, it all looked super-yummy. How lovely to see the desserts called 'puddings'. That took me back! And that garden area would have made me give a score of 10 on its own. But I'll agree with you on the overall score. The prices are amazing considering it's Covent Garden! Oh yes, I shall definitely desert my beloved favourites next time I visit, in favour of trying Rules! A lovely and interesting meal and review Gary.
This is definitely one to visit as you’ll remember forever and everything was top class
My Mother and grand-parents used to cook lunch to those standards. No tapenade though on the brocolli: just lashings of butter. The gravy does the lubrication necessary.
I was not disappointed in Rules. The decor, ambiance, staff, food; loved it ! Cheers for another top review Gal!
Thanks so much! 😊 what did you order when you go?
Classic on a high standard is never out of fashion.
I fully agree
Yeh agree.
Yay, Rules! An old favourite when on expenses! The pies have always been superb and I love pies.
Lol indeed Dan. My wallet isn't feeling too happy today
Strange. People don't want to pay their own money.
@@markrushton1516 you clearly don't understand, that's OK.
@@markrushton1516 I would at Wetherspoons! 😆
Gary a sure fire 10 ! Real, proper food, you looked such a happy man. No need for swirls, foams etc, good, proper nursery food. Wonderful.
John, a fantasatic comment and I wholeheartedly agree
What is nursery food??
@@philjones45Comfort food.
Ooh! My daughter is going to take me there “RULES” for my 89th birthday lunch! I am soo excited🇬🇧🌈🦋
@@Isabella-m7n2s88 and on UA-cam good on ye hen
Half of the enjoyment is discovering different venues. The 1940s cafe, Rules, the oldest pub. Epic👍
Couldn't agree more! Some of the best places I've visited tend to be vintage
Price isnt everything class is permanent well done a gem for the tourists ❤️
Fully agree 👍
This is my favourite so far of all your reviews Gary, the place is outstanding, the interior surroundings and ambience are fit for Royalty, and the food, what can I say, this is how food should be. Forget the cost I think it's value considering where it is and it's history, and the food is worth every penny. 10/10 across the board for me.
Kevin this just took my breath away outstanding
@@GaryEats As it did mine just watching.
I love this channel helping me learn about UK. Hope I visit one day.
Thanks so much John. I really hope you get to visit.
The pie filling looked magnificent
It was magnificent
You obviously have not had a Frey Bentos Pie!
The name’s “Eats”….”Gary Eats”….”Licence to Taste”….as you can guess I’m a massive 007 fan and was hoping you would review Rules given the history. Another fabulous review mate, thanks. Pricey yes, but the quality is there in abundance. 10/10 for me.
Thanks so much Virgil. License to taste made me laugh
🤣🤣👍
OMG Gary, you went and did it ! The one place on the face of this earth I want to go to ! What a beautiful looking meal, a REAL pie and proper gravy. The broccoli looked delicious and the tapenade was a lovely touch. I think there will probably have been some olives in there as well. That was a REAL English meal, so glad that places like RULES still exist. I’d have passed on the dessert and had either the potted shrimps or the rabbit terrine and then the steak & kidney pudding - my most favourite dish of all time !! What a winner my friend 11/10 for me. 👍👍
I went last month I love my wine and cocktails which puts the bill £200 plus i will say if you have the huge rump steak have very well done or it’s hard to carve when I go again soon I’m having the meal Gary ordered. Ps: a good wine will cost £54 plus. But the drinks that make the bill hefty and don’t forget the Irish coffee 😊
Rules Ruled for sure, I’ll be going back to sample other dishes. This is one I’ll never ever forget 👌👍
@@Guccit865 Very well done rump steak? Sacrilege.
Wow thats proper GOOD English food Adam Richman would kill for that.
No Man Vs Food just quality amazing
Spot on. Loved Adam's shows
Damn you Gary. I'm sitting here drooling over the food. Love the way you describe every mouthful and bring the dishes to life. Compared to many restaurants around London, Rules is actually excellent value as you know you're getting quality in the most amazing surroundings.
Thank you very much, I agree Rules is a very special restaurant 👌
Gary's channel is getting bigger by the week. I think we can class Gary as a celebrity now.
Lol I don't ever want that tag! Thank you for watching
*Gary, this truly is fine dining the food looks like outstanding quality, the menu looks well thought through 😊👍*
I agree with you completely
I'm sure somebody's mentioned it Gary me old mate but Tapenade is usually made with black olives.
I spritz it up by adding anchovies and capers for a delicious blended topping to new potatoes.
Keep up the good work!
Yes I must say that the only tapenade I’ve ever made was with black olives, capers and anchovies. No reason not to add some sun-dried tomato if you want to, I suppose, and maybe that’s what they do there. Lovely video.
My mistake Joe and apologies
I agree, Joe, but not on brocolli and steak and kidney pie! Slap that on a pizza or foccacia or whatever they call it, but not on a traditional English dish.
Thank goodness I was eating my supper while watching this; I was drooling. I thought everything looked delicious. You have such a genuine humble air about you, I love it! I'd trust anything you say!!🥰
Thank you that’s very kind have lovely weekend xx
Beautiful, nostalgic and historic venue, full of history. The food and portion size were amazing and looked delicious, for the price I think for a special occasion, I would pay it. The atmosphere itself is worth it. Thank you Gary, marvellous once again!!
Thank you Jans this is a brilliant place to visit
A ubiquitous taste experience in Rules. The ambiance, service and traditional British foods is a must visit place. We tend to go more in the winter months when it’s dark, cold, wet and frosty outside. My wife now makes that pistachio cake at home for special occasions. 😎
It's a wonderful experience. I can imagine how beautiful it is when it's snowing outside
10 all across the board. The steak and kidney pie looked incredible.
👌
I was one of those that suggested you visit Rules and I am delighted you enjoyed it! Excellent video as ever. I will be visiting Rules again in April and I cannot wait, think I might have a crumble 😁
A brilliant recommendation David thank you
What a Happy Chappy you are with that meal. Seemed lovely. Have a good day xx
Have a lovely day too Susannah
For that money, one step further. A hot plate for the potatoes, broccoli, and gravy to sit on. There is nothing worse than towards the end of eating, cold foid. That said, yes, 10 out of 10. Thanks for taking us along. Aporeciated.
Well said Jeff!
Rules is a wonderful institution which always delivers. Spent many a happy afternoon and evening here.
It’s stunning
What a place! As a young fellow in the 00's I worked at some incredible and hidden secret venues all over London through an agency. Some amazing cloisters of history all over that city
You must have some brilliant story’s to tell 😳
Hi Gary, I don’t think that was too expensive for a restaurant with that sort of heritage. This is where tourists should visit if they want a real taste of old England.
Very fair comment John and I agree
Definitely upwards Gary, I was fortunate enough to dine at M’s table at Rules for my 50th birthday as a James Bond fan I was in heaven…I’m pleased you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Fantastic channel Gary …I look forward to the next instalment
Very kind Barry and that was a great treat wow 🤩
Considering most people are suffering through a cost of living crisis, this video is really an indulgence of the senses.
This is a food review channel Anna, I bring all different types of content and different price points for people to enjoy
I think he has already reviewed Burger King......
Ive eaten in Rules loved it such ambience and history
Beuatiful restaurant, truly incredible experience
oysters and potted shrimps the most expensive stuff on the menu, when traditionally oysters were added to steak and kidney pudding as filler, and the brown shrimp was cheap too since anyone can go down the beach with a push net and catch them.
That is good point, but as you know, oysters are very very expensive now
You can feel the calm and tranquility in the restaurant . Amazing 🎉
I agree Margaret, if the walls could talk 😳😳😳
That was exceptional Gary. As a special treat, it all deserved the perfect 10/10. The steak & kidney pie, potatoes and broccoli; substantial portions as with the gravy. The apple & rhubarb crumble and vanilla custard, wow. What a fabulous restaurant. Many thanks for sharing this wonderful experience with us. Really appreciated 👍💎👍💎👍
I really appreciate you watching and commenting every time have a wonderful weekend 👌
@@GaryEats Bless you Gary. You bring joy and happiness, when times are tough. Thank you again 👍👍👍
Yeh portions 🤦♂️
Bit to much money
My happy place - their game cooking is wonderful
That’s excellent to hear
Only 1790s kids remember this place
Lol
Last time I was at Rules it was for my Birthday treat. I had Steak and Kidney Pie with mashed potatoes. I had for dessert apple crumble as I hated rhubarb. Interesting fact about Rules. The private dining room is where Edward VII dined with Lily Langtry.You know what I mean.The service is so excellent that the doorman took off and put on my coat.
Yes indeed. We didn't take videos of that room as people were sitting sadly. Glad you enjoy your visit and we didn't have a doorman sadly!!
Oh I so enjoyed this review! The best part was watching you enjoy every facet of your meal (as one should), and the ambiance of coarse! Splendid
Thank you Sandria as always x
I'm lucky enough to have eaten at Rules many times having worked in the city for over 20 years. By far the best experience for me was having lunch on St George's Day. Everyone wears read either a red tie, red dress, red handkerchief, red shoes etc. The meal started with everyone standing for the national anthem and signing along. The meal was consistently good and the ambiance was fabulous. There was 6 in our party and at the end of the meal we all decided to have Stilton and white port so the waiter brought over a half a wheel of Stilton with 6 spoons and left us to it. Happy memories.
That sounds absolutely wonderful. I would love to visit on St George’s Day and I’m pleased this brought you back some wonderful memories.
Shaken BUT never Stirred Gary AKA our Mr Bond. Please show us more of these glamourous places. I was looking up Kingsman earlier
😂 😂 yes ! 💯
Imagine our friend Gary as James Bond. Hehe.
Lol brilliant
@@GaryEats Your word is your Bond Sir - everything delivered to perfection
Great food the price was fair. Quality is worth paying for. Around £50 it's a steal.
It's all relatively cheap depending on how deep your pockets are.
In London for a excellent meal it's a bargain 😋.
I have never been but I will be over soon and will go to check it out.
I will leave another comment on this video with my comments. For what there worth. Enjoy your content and videos. Great viewing 👌 👍
Please do Zawar, it's a brilliant place to eat very unique. Thank you and looking forward to reading your other comment
@GaryEats by the way your videos are a cut above your opposition videos. Your made for reviewing restaurants and doing food videos.
The TV 📺 companies are missing out by not employing you. It's only my opinion but I'm sure there are thousands who would watch your shows on tv. keep up the good work 👏
That’s incredibly kind. Hopefully I get the call up one day 🤣 in all seriousness, thank you
How beautiful that restaurant is takes you back to refined days when everything was perfect and they are still going strong 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
This is probably my most favourite restaurant that I have visited Linda it is full of history if only the walls could talk 🌹❤️🌹
Just for the decor you'd go. Exquisite. I've been to the oldest restaurant in Madrid, which is actually the oldest in the world, and its a real journey back in time. They serve the whole hog roasted and its a tiny menu and the restaurant runs like clockwork and it's down in a cellar.
It is certainly worth a visit as it gives the visuals, food, and atmosphere 👌
I would love to visit Madrid and do that restaurant it sounds absolutely amazing
i'm sorry gary but your face when you bit into that mushroom...i cracked up pretty hard lol!😂 but hey, at least you tried them, i wouldn't do that if it was pak choi or swiss chard!😉
food looked delicious and finally a fancy restaurant with good portions, great video as always!👍
Celery no no no no🤔🤣
Lol! I got there in the end, a promise is a promise
If you fancy a drive out to one of the few remaining traditional country pubs left in rural north Essex for something different try The George Inn Shalford CM7 5HH. The landlord smokes all his own meat at the pub. Brisket Huffer and Chips and his own made BBQ sauce. Also serves Breakfast at the weekends. It will also be kind on your wallet.
Thank you for the recommendation
Rules as you said Gary is stunning inside ! Love the history on the walls and of this wonderful restaurant - centuries of quality. That pie was to die for as they say, superb & the sides were of ample portions. Apple & rhubarb crumble - one of my fav desserts alongside sticky toffee pudding. We don't see much rhubarb here & I miss it. 10/10 all day long from me Gary.
Robert this was one special restaurant and I enjoyed myself so much as you can see
Rules is classy without pretension - superb English food as it is meant to be - thankfully no signs of nouvelle cuisine - food at its simplest what I think is almost 'nanny' food - and not expensive for the quality you are served in elegant surroundings. An absolute treat! - forget all your so called designed chef restaurants this is the real mccoy!
Spot on. It's excellent
Just looks like the place oozes quality and also it didn’t seem too stuffy either 👍👍👍
Totally right Wayne 👍👍
My lovely old Dad took us there for a huge treat about 40 years ago. I don’t remember the details but I remember the thrill of going there. Might need to save up for a bit…
It's excellent and well worth another go
I have been to Rules once and the food was every bit as good as yours Gary. Plus the restaurant vibe is stunning as you showed so well. Given the history and location they could easily adopt a much lazier approach and become a tourist trap restaurant just creaming in the cash from unsuspecting tourists. So I would give a perfect 10/10 for the quality of food, the uncompromising standards and the special vibe you get - such a memorable place to visit. Yes the prices are high but for this quality I don’t mind that for a special occasion. But if you want a bottle of wine with your meal these are eye-wateringly expensive albeit some delicious choices - we had Rioja, which was an outstanding example. Food and drink of this standard doesn’t come cheap!
I fully agree Richard sometimes you have to pay for the quality and that special occasion
I’m so glad that you went to Rules! I was just thinking that I would treat myself by going there for lunch soon and now I’m sure I will. Great review as always Gary. You are the master restaurant reviewer on UA-cam
That’s so very kind thank you and you won’t be disappointed if you try Rules
I do not think I enjoy a eating review UA-cam channel as much as here. I'm 27 and I absolutely love eating my dinner or just before dinner watching, Gary, review somewhere. So natural, not over complicated and just it is as it is. Amazing, Gary.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it!!
What a treasure! This is my favorite restaurant yet. Great review, Gary. Your choices were spot on to showcase the traditional menu. Really enjoyed the relaxing, unique garden at the end. The experience seemed to be fulfilling in many ways, ending in contentment. A true London experience.
Loved it Kathleen my favourite so far as well just full of history with brilliant food 👌
Food looks delicious. Well made, proper English food with full of flavour quality ingredients!!
I agree completely Caroline
For some inexplicable reason this video made me feel quite patriotic.
I know what you mean actually. Me too.
It should Garry. It's a wonderful place and something we should be proud of
When I worked in London we went to Rules often for their classic English dishes especially that people don't cook anymore. Memories of my gran who was cockney and made many of these dishes. The sommelier, I don't remember his name, had worked at Rules for 50 years. Since I had lived years in France we talked a lot about French wines. He would suggest wines I didn't know and I would order his suggestions. He would first taste to ensure they were not corked etc before me and my wife tasted them. He knew his wines very well. I was jealous of his job.
It's a wonderful place isn't it?
We’ve been going to Rules for about the last five years and are slowly working our way through the menu. The puddings and pies are superb the venison, pork belly, game and beef are outstanding. Desserts are traditional and satisfying. Great cocktail lounge and the service is top class. My favourite restaurant.❤❤❤
It’s an outstanding restaurant as you can testify John top class
Not as dear as I thought but let's not forget these are expense account restaurants frequented by high earners. Looked fantastic.
Wine would bump to 80
It’s one for that really special occasion Mark
Steak & Kidney is my favourite pie filling, makes brilliant gravy too. That pie looked truly outstanding, thanks for the review Gary 👍
Very kind Jason thank you
I think this is my favourite review that you have ever done ❤ I did think it was an easy 10/10 though, I can't think that you have been more effusive in your praise before.
Amanda I absolutely loved this one as well, it was the hardest to film but definitely worth it
Tapenade sauce is made of olives, hence the colour. Great review Gary, will definitely try this one. Thanks
Thank you very much. I did make a mistake on this occasion my apologies.
This was another great review, Gary. I have never been to Rules and I did not know it was so old. This is another gem, Gary. I have to say that was a fair score for this restaurant. Gary, I wish you were in Madrid, Spain so you could review Le Botin, it's the oldest restaurant in Europe - dates to the 1690s - they are famous for their roast barbecue fall off the bone piglet.
I’d love to do that one day sounds awesome 🤩
It’s great to see these great establishments still thriving. Maybe one day I will get a chance to visit!
It’s really worth a visit
People like you Gary you just give an honest review don’t make it about yourself 👍
Very kind thank you very much
Nice classical authentic french cuisine. The beef looks fantastic
This was great
I went the other month thinking it was just going to be touristy and a jumped-up pub meal. The quality of the food is outstanding though!
Ah Michael. Gutted I missed you. What did you order?
@@GaryEatsI'll bump into you yet! I had the featherblade of beef, slow cooked. So rich but out of this world. Pork terrine for starters. Then the tart tatin. Really memorable. And no music! Extremely comfy experience. Would highly recommend!
Splendid venue….i’m returning. It’s been over 25 years since my last visit. You’re going to bankrupt me if I watch more of these fabulous reviews. 👍🏻
As you have been to this restaurant, you understand the history behind it
Dining in and around London on a regular basis, I can say that £51 for that kind of quality is very reasonable Gary 👍
I fully agree 💯
That pie, perfection.
It was lovely Alan for sure
I originally thought the pie looked small and would be all pastry but i stand corrected, and opened out it was glorious. The dauphinois was slightly more liquid than usual but that was perfect with the pie. I hear their chops are good
I haven’t tried the chops but maybe next time 😊
Visited Rules a few years back with the mrs..same as you I was blown away by how beautiful it is inside.Asked if the 007 table was free and to my surprise it was,we had a drink upstairs then we were called down.Both had Steak & Kidney Pudding,for veggies the waiter told us one portion was plenty for two,Dauphinois and Brocoli.Cheeseboard for afters all washed down with a Groot Constantia recommended by our waiter.Expensive yes but worth every penny..I can feel a trip coming on
Stunning restaurant with excellent food!
I’m very fortunate in that I live 30 metres from this place. So I obviously know it well - and the staff know me. Many happy meals there; alone, with a few friends, or with a group in a private room. They never let you down. Bravo Rules
You are so very lucky, Alan. I absolutely loved my visit. I’ll definitely be returning.
It’s a pleasure to watch you at work……keep the vids coming
I really appreciate that, thank you
Another incredible review. The history and delicious pie, mash and gravy. Wow I just want to visit that place. Thanks for a great video
It’s really worth a visit 💯
Maybe just the camera, but the custard looked to have split. Anybody else notice?
It might have been the camera as we struggled to film this one
Rules is indeed a magical place,
the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is relaxing and private even when it is very busy,
Garry, once again delivers a spot-on review.
thank you so much, especially for your absolute honesty.
Rules Restaurant 10 out of 10
Garry Eats food critic 10 out of 10
👍
That's a lovely comment, thank you
That crumble looks very dry but the pie looked very nice. The upstairs bar has a very British empire colonial india feel
Ryan the best dessert I’ve ever eaten well constructed
So happy to see trad cuisine done oh so well. It looks, & I'm sure it tasted amazing! Nice one Gary!
This was absolutely fantastic, Eddie
@GaryEats Will definitely visit when I get to London, any reccomdations for Glasgow or Edinburgh? Am there next week.
Oh wow, just cutting in to that pie! Drool!
It was outrageous Terrance
That is the best looking food I have seen in a long time on UA-cam. Add that restaurant to my bucket list
Please do give it a go
Had me drooling again . Im so envious .Thanks Gary .
This was excellent Simon I was very lucky 🍀
Went for a really special meal ten yearsago when visiting from Canada. A fantastic experience.
That is absolutely fantastic to hear, Martha
Ahhhhh, Rules! One of my longtime favourite restaurants in London. Eaten there several times over the years, whenever we have friends from the US visiting we usually plan a meal at Rules. Who cares about the price, take a look around and you will discover where your money goes. Enjoy…🇬🇧
I agree Frank you pay your money and just relax and enjoy
Really enjoyed this, Gary. I've always wanted to eat at Rules, 1st class review
Thank you Nick
Hi Gary, Rules is a staple of course and I have to say it's a fantastic restaurant. Only been there once, but I enjoyed it too the fully. It's not cheap, but well worth it from time to time. I had Smoked Duck Breast Salad as a starter, slow cooked Featherblade of beef and Rules Sticky Toffee pudding as my dessert. The service was impressive, the ambience is one of best you may find in the UK, the history and of course the food, it was delicious. Proud of you for trying the mushrooms, mate! Another fantastic review in the bag and keep up the fabulous work! Have yourself a wonderful rest of your day and hopefully speak to you soon, mate!😊
Thank you Frank. I really wanted to go for the Sticky Toffee Pudding but I had a feeling I'd get a few comments thinking I'm obsessed with it. Really appreciate your comment as always and glad you had a good time when you visited. Are you all recovered now?
@@GaryEats yeah in a couple of weeks I will be back to work! So feeling much better, but started going out enjoying good food a while back already, as every time I had to do physiotherapy, I made sure to have my appointments in the afternoon so I could meet up with the wife and go for a nice meal. Of course not every time I went, but usually on Thursday's and or Friday's. Thanks for asking, Gary! 🙂
They should thank you for this because l had never heard of Rules but l will definitely be going
It’s really worth a visit
Well worth it.
I agree with you 100%
Best Oysters in the world at Rules, little Cornish ones. What a place, love it.
That’s brilliant to hear Liam
This brought back fond memories of the lunch I had in Rules with my business partner/Finance Director with our Company auditor, where I thoroughly enjoyed my first tasting of wild boar as the main course of three. The ambience in this place, with its history, is something else and the wonderful food, washed down with a couple of bottles of wine was even more pleasurable when our auditor picked up the tab, when I, in true Scottish fashion had to retreat to the toilet, when the bill was presented. 🤣🤣 Thank you for the memory, "Gary Eats" .
I’m really pleased it brought back some excellent memories Jim
Obviously Rules is not a cheap place but I have been a few times over the years and it is very nice and strangely nostalgic for another era. It is a tourist place but then it is nice if visitors to London can be treated to high quality food rather than some corporate stuff or some big chain. Further this kind f high end very traditional Brit dishes ;are n the decline so its great when people support places knocking out posh pies and decadent crumbles. As a Londoner I love modern trends in food and having cuisine from around the world but we also need places like this showing off what can be great grub. I sometimes feel a bit ashamed when tourists are fleeced in London by some restaurant and pub groups but here I think they are getting something decent and memorable. Thanks for showing off the place in this honest down to earth to video.
Indeed. It's a wonderful place Antony and shows that British food can be top quality
Dolphin warrr potatoes…not sure I fancy those…
They were lovely
The absolute epitome of British excellence❣ You and the cameraman, too.
Proud of you for trying the mushroom, Gary❣
lol no more Melany I’ve done as requested by so many, this restaurant was just outstanding x
My nan used to make apple and rhubarb crumble! 👍 Gosh that’s pricey for the portion and looks very dry! 😲 The crumble on my nan’s was crunchy yet buttery so not dry
That crumble was so tasty I cannot say
I’ve eaten at Rules a few times. Love the unpretentious food. It’s simple, hearty and comforting. No poncy foams or intricate plate decoration. Tasty, tasty food. Which is what or should all be about.
Great comment and I fully agree 👍
