Porters

Founded by the 7th Earl of Bradford, situated in the heart of Covent Garden,and serving the absolute stalwart dishes of traditional British cuisine, Porters is so English you'd expect the waiters to have bulldog tattoos.This is at the opposite end of the British dining tradition from Simpson's in the Strand - it's relaxed, lively, and child-friendly, with the emphasis on value for money.
