I go to Kissimmee on business twice a month. My first day on the job, my partner and I went based solely on the exterior. Now every time we go we stop by in the afternoon for a few. I stay overnight in the area so I also go there for dinner at night. I almost always get the "bearded bastard" as one person put it, and that's just fine by me.

This place has everything. Incredible food, fun music, great service. If you're in the Kissimmee area, you wont find a better place to spend your evening!

So I was in the area in April for my semi annual check on the retirement home get some work done and donate some money to the Kissimmee - St. Cloud economy trip and I decided that after years of driving by I would finally stop in and try this place. As others have said it has a cute English Pub look on the outside and inside has that local bar look but with a mix of locals and tourists that all look like they are totally at home in this type of place. There is a jukebox and several televisions playing sports and whatever and a large bar. Table service was by the bar tender and I think someone from the kitchen brought some of our food to the table. The service was on par with the establishment, friendly but not all over you either. I do recall that I had to go to the bar to pay my tab, that was alright as we were in no hurry to get out of there because it started pouring just about when we ordered dinner and it was still raining when we left and no one was trying to rush us out. Dinner was really good, We had a Scotch Egg, Shepherds Pie, Bangers and Mash and a half order of Fish and chips at our table and everyone was happy including the seven year old. In the end the bill was around $40 with tip and drinks so not bad I thought. The big question is if I would go back and the answer is yes. So why the four stars, simple I liked the place, really genuinely five stars liked it but it is rough around the edges and not in a isn't it quaint how they made it look like a real bar "Chillies" kind of way, quaint and rough around the edges in a this is a real bar kind of way I like that and my family likes that, you might not.

I took a friend in March 2015 from a recommendation of an Englishman friend of mine. It was also my 1st time. The Fish & chips were so good. The fish was light, didn't have a strong fishy taste (if you know what i mean). It was recommended to have the cornish pasty. Since i didn't know how to ask for it, it wasn't as moist as I wanted. The server said to ask for gravy on the side. (how was I supposed to know.) I will come back and try it again with gravy. I had my 1st Magner's Pear and it was very refreshing cider.

Rude bartender. The crowd is usually great so I'll give this place two stars. However, that cannot make up for the bartender who seems to have made rudeness his full-time occupation. The karaoke ladies are lovely and the participants are very talented and a delight to listen to. The food, for bar food, is pretty good too. Unfortunately, that bartender totally sucks and takes a lot of enjoyment out of the evening since a Saturday night out should be fun and not having to deal with an a**hole. If not for that bearded bastard, this review would have gotten four stars--maybe even five considering it's a local watering hole.

Very cute and small bar. Great place to grab a quick drink and bite. Bartenders very friendly and the drinks cheap. Would def recommend trying if you want a low key night

I found this place by accident when in the area. I also collect pics of animal named pubs! Obviously this was a must being two animals an it looks so fun. You don't realize how many there are until you make a point of finding them! Why pubs have animals in their name is beyond me but ironic. Adequate beer selection an liquor selection. Large tvs for sports watching. I enjoyed the British pub feel an the kitschy items located throughout. The place feels very clean even though its a traditional pub. Heather was serving on this day an friendly chatting with me about the history of the place. I had to try the scotch egg as I have always wanted to try it but had been scared. I love to try new things but also want something good. When asked heather how the egg is, a regular customer piped on an said it is fantastic an he gets one on every visit, ok that sold me. It's a hard boiled egg wrapped in pork I would describe like a pressed hash texture, then rolled in lite breadcrumbs an then fried. It's served cold which I thought might be weird but it's the tradition. There is a side of lettuce an tomato with a sauce that was amazing. I made that a salad actually. The egg was different, was good, can see how some may be leary. If you are here an you like to try new things, DO IT! You will be glad you did. I am glad I did an I would have it again.

Come here if you want to feel completely unwelcome by the bartender and regulars. 5 of us walked in on a week night and the handful of patrons almost instantly started shooting us glares like a scene from a cheesy horror movie and our car just broke down. The bartender picked up on this and ran with it. She asked for our ID's that we happily gave up. She then spent what felt like an ungodly amount of time staring at each one. I guess she was interested in which of us were organ donors and the composition and balance of the dmv photos. After she was fully satisfied with our ID's she barked out "all together or separate?." When I responded separate she rolled her eyes and walked away. After she didn't return for 10 minutes, we left and had a great time at the wing place across the street.

This was probably the best place we went to in the immediate area. The outside of the pub is super cute and the inside has the whole authentic "pub" vibe. It is kind of a dive but in the best way. The service was good, the bartender made me a cool specialty drink of hers and it was delicious. Did not get any food but saw other people eating and everything looked good. The beer list could be better but since they have a full bar I won't hold that against them. The prices were cheap and overall I had a good experience.

You've probably driven past the place tons of times but it's worth the stop. Very good food, a great variety of locals -nice people! People praise the fish n chips but the wings are better than most places (specialty wing joints, included). If you've been in to UK and are familiar with the tiny nature of the local joints there, this will feel roomy! The Pasties are delicious. Do not skip the gravy. If you're afraid, put it on the side you'll end up wanting to roll around in it. Yummmm. :) Also I'm a restroom phobic of sorts and although small, they do keep the place really clean. The owner is often on hand and is from the UK and an avid 'football' fan. Lovely bloke. (I think that's what they call each other).

I have been going to this place since the early 90's. I am so glad it's still alive every time I am in town (mostly for Disney). This is the place I first heard about a Shandy many years back. The building is a stand alone, most likely built new in 84 for this pub. Nice small place with the right amount of funk/edginess. I am pretty sure the owner(s) are British. This place is as close to a real British Pub as you can get. All the food choices I have had were always great. Last week, I had the Shepard's Pie (this time) and it was good as always. We also ordered the chicken curry and a cheese board, both good. The prices for the food is good. I think the Shepard's Pie was $9.99 and it's a lot of food. The alcohol choices I have had were always good and interesting. I am not a big drinker, but always get something here just because it's an awesome experience. If you are not offended by alcohol, this place is also good for mixed company. You can bring the family. Let them experience a little different life. Great for tourists, they will treat you right!

I don't even drink and I love this place. We got introduced to this place by a neighbor a while back. She said I had to try their Shepards pie. It was my first introduction to strongbow. Been craving that Shepards pie ever since. Nice little place to come and watch your football games. Not American football. Haha. Great British pub.

Small selection, but all really good beers (no bud or miller). Really cool English town & country atmosphere and the bartenders are really nice. Haven't tried the food yet, but I only here good things. Definitely one of the best places to drink in Kissimmee.

Loved this pub. Good beer selection. Tasty BLT and Sausage Sandwich. Big steak fries. Kat, the bartender, decided to play a game with about 12 people in the bar. She went through everyones' names, and every 15 minutes or so, drew a card. If she picked yours, and you could name everyone, you got a free drink! I won once (yay!) and it made for a really social and fun afternoon, instead of just a quick stop for lunch and a beer on my way out of town.

Ok so I've been back to the F&H a dozen or so times since my last review. I should just move in. From the moment I first walked in, it felt comfortable and homey and exactly what you want in a local pub. I'm always amazed when everybody (customers, bar keeps, mgmt) knows everybody else. I'm not a local but they sure make me feel like one. Food-still awesome. Service-still awesome. A guy next to me asked for a BLT without the L&T and out came a bacon sandwich. I was feeling like a bit of bacon so I asked for a plate of it as a side dish and out it came. Seriously??? No establishment does that anymore. I've gotten to asking for a side order of bacon with every visit and they always oblige. Atmosphere-still comfortable. Older folks during the day and a younger crowd at night. Sat night they have Karaoke and it can get loud but after a few double Jamisons you don't even notice it. Looks unimpressive from the 192 but maybe that's the plan. Look for the Doctor Who phone booth on the corner.

Love it here!! The staff makes it great! So friendly! We come here at least once a year, whenever we are in the area. The drinks are great--they actually give a real glass of wine, none of that 5oz nonsense! Prices are awesome! Food is British with an Indian touch (to be expected in an authentic British pub nowadays!) Everything is just great here. Check it out!!

Went for the first time last night. Nice little place. The bartender Heather was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The fish and chips were great!!! We had the scotch eggs which were good but they serve them cold, I prefer them hot. We will definitely be going again. There are lots of more food we can't wait to try. Great little place to sit and have a drink.
