Horse and Jockey British Pub & Restaurant

I love the way this place looks from the outside...the British Phone Booth, and nice landscaping!

My Mom was here with friends before they had the fire, some time in March/April 2013. When I came to visit, she told me we had to go the Horse and Jockey Pub. OKAY!

Sunday, September 15th, 2013 lunch time around 12:30p.m. My Mom, my friend, and I go to lunch. My Mom order the Fish & Chips, so do I . My friend orders the Shepherds Pie. (I took pictures of our entrees, just so you can see the size. Huge!) The F&C was $11 and so was S.P. We all were happy with the size of our entrees for $11. My Mom mentioned that they changed their presentation...from newspaper to plate, and that the price had changed from $8 to $11. Also, that the decor had changed inside...from no booths to having some. This was my first visit here, and I thought the decor was okay. Nothing special. Just a large room with tables and booths. It needs more life!

Our waitress was slow, and it took her forever to initially take our order.

What I liked about Horse and Jockey British Pub and Restaurant, was the food. That's it! It was fresh, but lacked flavor.

I have been to Gordon Ramsey's Pub and Grill in Vegas...the Fish and Chips was AMAZING!

I would not return here for Fish and Chips, unless my Mom wanted.

one of the rare places in st. pete where you can be confident that your money and patronage are benefiting really excellent people. lea and emma are outstanding and have created a very special place in south pasadena. super authentic british pub with unbeatable prices and a perfect atmosphere. they suffered a kitchen fire just before st. patrick's day and are currently closed for renovations but we all hope they will come back bigger and better. i miss the horse and jockey! adam justin fiona jackie pauline zoe colin miss you!

I really like this pub.  Service is consistently good and food is done well.  This pub has changed hands several times, but the present ownership has done a nice job of retaining the atmosphere while introducing some good food.  Their curries are tasty as is their cornish pasty's, puddings and more.  And their pizzas (made with beer in the crust) are absolutely a surprising delight!  Plus, during October, they have a spectacular pumpkin beer (Pum-King) on draft...wonderful!  So why not give it 5 stars, well, each time I've been there recently (3 times over 6 months when I travel to Florida), they were out of my choice of beer.  Parking is somewhat limited as they share space with other stores in the strip.  Outdoor seating never seems to be a problem as tables always seem available.  Indoor seating varies by time of day, but we've hardly ever had a wait.  But a reasonable substitute was readily at hand.  So go visit them for a good curry, some fish & chips (with gravy), a sweet-crust thin pizza and a pint.
