You're tucked into one of Covent Garden's quieter corners here, away from the tourist crush around the Piazza. The Nags Head has the bones of a proper old London boozer—all dark wood, brass fixtures and the kind of bar where regulars have had the same seat for twenty years. Food-wise, they're not reinventing the wheel: think pies, proper roasts, the sort of pub classics that actually taste like something. It's the sort of place you can roll up to on a Saturday afternoon with mates, grab a pint of something from the McMulten's range, and genuinely relax before heading to a show round the corner.
