“ Served up traditional Full English Breakfast and chicken pot pie on a Sunday with a football match on; the place did feel like a London local. ”
“ Cold rainy day, seemed like a good time for a British pub! A group of us had lunch and we showed up at different times. The staff was great and accommodated us with separate checks. The menu has all the English fare, Bangers and Mash, fish n chips, Cottage Pie (shepherds pie) and really yummy curries! I had the Indian curry with naan bread and it was very good. There was a lunch special, a pint and the cottage pie for 15. My friends had a Guineas with the special and it was a hearty warm meal for a cold rainy day. ”
“ The Horse & Jockey is a great place to watch soccer matches, especially the World Cup! When you walk in its like being in an English pub, even has a red phone booth in front of the restaurant. They have a great beer menu, on draft: GUINNESS, Fullers London Pride, Belhaven Scottish Bitter, Kilkenny Irish Red Ale, Stella Artois Belgian Lager to name a few. We pop in for lunch every time we are on the Pasadena side of town. Since I'm a vegetarian, I usually get the quinoa, garbanzo & black bean patty, comes with LTO, hummus, and garlic aioli- its very good. This black bean burger is home made and is almost bigger than the bun. My husband tried the Chip Shop Curry, which is a chicken simmered in yellow curry sauce served with home made potato chips. He said it was delicious. ”
“ Great English pub, decent English breakfast with Black Pudding. Live football (Soccer) playing in the background. Genuinely felt I was back in the UK for the time I was there. ”
“ A great place for English food! I got the Steak & Ale Pie and, oh my goodness, was it delicious! Chunks of the most tender roast beef just melted in my mouth. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ Horse & Jockey nails the English pub vibe while offering a globally inspired menu that pleasantly surprised me. I was lucky to dine family-style with a large group, which meant I got to sample a bit of everything, and everything was good. The menu blends British classics with international flair. Think proper pasties and Scotch eggs (those golden beauties boiled eggs wrapped in sausage and fried to perfection), alongside flavorful plates like chicken tikka masala and Argentinian-style skirt steak topped with chimichurri. It’s comfort food with character. Beyond the food, the drinks menu goes beyond the expected beer taps. The old fashioned was one of the better ones I’ve had locally. Even the wine selection held up nicely. Whether you're going for a cozy pint or a full meal, Horse & Jockey delivers. I'll definitely be back. ”
“ My family of four had an incredible meal at The Horse and Jockey in St. Pete! We ordered the fish and chips, beef & ale pie, chicken tikka Mo Saleh, and a kid’s burger... every single dish was spot on. The fish was perfectly crispy, the pie rich and flavorful, and the chicken tikka had just the right amount of spice. Even the kid’s burger was a hit! You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Friendly service, cozy pub atmosphere, and amazing food, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend! ”
“ Feels like you are on vacation in the UK! Great local English style pub with draught beer offerings from the UK to satisfy your taste. Tasty menu offerings, too, also just like in England. Lots of big screen TVs to watch soccer or rugby or whatever sport while having your pint with or without your mates! It's definitely worth a drop-in if you haven't, and if you have, always worth a return trip! ”
