The 10 Best British Pubs in Orlando
Orlando's 10 best British pubs, from a Clermont expat favorite to EPCOT's Rose & Crown, ranked by real review data.
7 minute read
Orlando does not have many British pubs — it has a handful of fiercely loved ones, and this list is honest about the arithmetic: we found 11 genuine British pubs in the whole metro that clear our evidence bar, from expat strongholds on the Highway 27 corridor to the theme-park pubs of EPCOT and Universal, and these are the top ten. Three of the ten sit on that US-27 corridor in Clermont and Davenport, just outside the strict suburb list, admitted on the same outskirts precedent as earlier categories in this series and flagged as such in our data.
How we rank: every business is ordered by its Net Score (0–100), which blends its public ratings from Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp and the other review sources we could retrieve — weighted by review volume, then adjusted so a handful of five-star reviews can’t outrank a proven track record (Bayesian shrinkage, m = 200, disclosed in our methodology). A business needs at least 25 public reviews to be ranked. Scores compare only within this category. Ratings retrieved November 15, 2026.
1. Best of British Pub & Cafe — Net Score 91.2 (Clermont)
🏆 Winner feature: Read our full profile of Best of British Pub & Cafe — why it won, what to try, and the badge to share.
Blended 4.74★ from 814 reviews — Google 4.8★ (584), TripAdvisor 4.8★ (77), Yelp 4.5★ (153).
Get: The Full English breakfast — proper English back bacon, black pudding, Heinz beans and toast made with English bread — and the fish and chips with curry sauce; the Sunday roast is the other order reviewers single out, and one seven-person table’s run through fish & chips, doner kebab, cottage pie, Scotch egg and coronation chicken came back all-delicious.
Skip: Consistency is the caveat — TripAdvisor’s own review summary notes occasional inconsistencies in portion size and quality, and one takeout order arrived with raw fish and soggy chips.
Local detail: Owner Martin works the room and makes customers feel like family; there is a double-decker bus with a backstory the staff will tell you, British goods for sale alongside the pub, and live football on eight TVs just off Highway 27.
2. The Friar Tuck — Net Score 89.7 (Clermont)
Blended 4.75★ from 398 reviews — Google 4.99★ (154), TripAdvisor 4.6★ (244).
Get: The Legendary Fish and Chips — cod with proper hand-cut English-style chips, repeatedly called some of the best reviewers have had in years — and the Full English breakfast, which one visiting café couple rated superb against their own professional standard; Cornish pasties, steak pie and spotted dick round out the homemade board.
Skip: A minority of reviewers report off nights amid the praise, including service friction and one flatly disappointed return visit — and there is no kids menu, so small children share from a parent’s plate.
Local detail: In Four Corners since February 2017 and proudly Nottingham — Robin Hood country — in its roots, with an attached English/Irish market selling meat pies and real UK Cadbury eggs, a stage for live music, and a Sunday roast served from noon until it’s gone.
3. St. Andrews Tavern — Net Score 85.0 (Altamonte Springs)
Blended 4.46★ from 477 reviews — Google 4.57★ (366), TripAdvisor 4.4★ (22), Yelp 4.0★ (89).
Get: The fish and chips and shepherd’s pie are the menu’s named classics, with pasties and a Scottish whisky selection behind the bar; reviewers single out the live music and the range of imported beers.
Local detail: A British-style tavern on Semoran Boulevard flying British flags amid Guinness memorabilia and London imagery, built for football crowds and open until 2 a.m. most nights.
4. The Fox and Hounds Public House — Net Score 84.9 (Kissimmee)
Blended 4.46★ from 402 reviews — Google 4.56★ (315), TripAdvisor 4.1★ (87).
Get: The fish and chips — a half order is the regulars’ move, with batter one reviewer calls their standard for the rest of America — plus sausage rolls a British visitor compared to Greggs, and the Scotch eggs and pasties.
Skip: Service is the polarizing half: detailed reviews describe indifferent bartending and a hit-or-miss kitchen (one steak and kidney pie came back inedible), and one reviewer warns a 30% tip appeared on the bill — check yours.
Local detail: On Highway 192 since 1984, the longest-surviving British pub in Central Florida — a small Tudor-fronted room of about 40 seats with dartboards, a jukebox and big-screen football, mixing locals and villa tourists.
5. Sunday’s Grill — Net Score 84.5 (Davenport)
Blended 4.42★ from 658 reviews — Google 4.69★ (198), TripAdvisor 4.3★ (460).
Get: The fish and chips above all — the Small Ben and Big Ben cod plates, with more than one reviewer calling it the best they have had outside the UK — plus the bangers and mash and bread pudding with English custard.
Skip: It pours beer and wine only — no hard liquor — the signage is easy to miss in the plaza, and one reviewer found the full-throttle British bar décor over the top.
Local detail: British family-owned since 2006 in the Publix plaza at Berry Town Center on Highway 27, with British television running on the booth TVs, trivia on Mondays and kids eating free on Tuesdays.
6. Bull & Bush Pub — Net Score 83.0 (Milk District)
Blended 4.38★ from 189 reviews — Google 4.45★ (137), Yelp 4.2★ (52).
Get: The Guinness — reviewers repeatedly call it the best pour in Orlando — the pickle wings, described as to die for in multiple reviews, and the cottage pie and Scotch eggs from the small British kitchen.
Skip: It’s a smoking bar: several reviewers flag cigarette smoke in the room despite the no-smoking sign, and one detailed review found the fish and chips themselves a letdown — go for the pour and the wings.
Local detail: A small Milk District room on Robinson Street, run by Brits and patronized by them, home to a dart league, trivia, and a Wednesday open-mic comedy night that has run for 11 years and launched comics who went on to HBO and Edinburgh.
7. Hog’s Head Pub — Net Score 82.0 (Universal Orlando)
Blended 4.30★ from 162 reviews — Google 4.3★ (162).
Get: The Hog’s Head Brew, a Scottish red ale poured only here, or the Triple — Strongbow cider layered with Hog’s Head ale and Guinness; hot butterbeer is the cold-day order.
Skip: Butterbeer costs more at this bar than at the outdoor carts, per one regular’s review — you’re paying for the room and the shorter line.
Local detail: The bar at the back of the Three Broomsticks with its own entrance, where the animatronic hog’s head behind the bar grunts and sways — ask the bartender to say hello — and the back patio overlooking Hogwarts is usually the quietest seat in Hogsmeade.
8. Three Broomsticks — Net Score 81.8 (Universal Orlando)
Blended 4.27★ from 5,105 reviews — Google 4.61★ (2,275), TripAdvisor 4.0★ (2,830).
Get: The Great Feast — herb roasted chicken, spare ribs and sides built to share, which reviewers say happily feeds two with leftovers — and the breakfast plates with a frozen butterbeer, which families rate a strong start to a park day.
Skip: The fish and chips draw the sharpest pans in the reviews — served lukewarm, “not a patch on Disney’s” — prices are theme-park prices, the room fills fast, and the queue has no cover in the rain.
Local detail: A rustic tavern built straight off the film sets — cast-iron chandeliers and fireplace glow — with a back patio overlooking Hogwarts and mobile ordering that speeds the lunch rush.
9. Rose & Crown Pub — Net Score 81.5 (Lake Buena Vista)
Blended 4.26★ from 2,678 reviews — Google 4.54★ (483), TripAdvisor 4.2★ (2,195).
Get: A Half & Half — half Guinness, half Harp — or a Black and Tan on the lagoon-side patio, with the fish and chips at their best described as fried to perfection; the Scotch egg and bangers and mash complete the classic order.
Skip: The fish and chips split the room — other detailed reviews found too much batter and too little fish, or fish overcooked outside and underdone inside — and the bar up front gets packed, so book the dining room ahead.
Local detail: EPCOT’s UK Pavilion pub, with live piano on the patio and a direct line of sight to the nightly fireworks over the lagoon — regulars time dinner to the show.
10. The Pub – Orlando — Net Score 77.8 (International Drive)
Blended 4.10★ from 3,452 reviews — Google 4.31★ (1,404), TripAdvisor 4.0★ (1,274), Yelp 3.9★ (774).
Get: The Scotch eggs — “the best,” per repeat reviewers — and the house-billed award-winning fish and chips on a good night, with the pour-your-own beer wall as the room’s party trick.
Skip: TripAdvisor’s detailed pans target exactly the flagship: poor batter, soggy fish, over-salted chips, plus service that left tables feeling ignored — and Pointe Orlando valet parking runs $20.
Local detail: A Cincinnati-born British-pub concept at Pointe Orlando, across from the convention center — “British-inspired, American flair” by its own billing — with live music most evenings and servers who earn their own shout-outs by name in the reviews.
