Stumbled upon this restaurant while in the area, and so glad to have! The highlights for our group of 4 were the pints of cask ale, the venison rack special and the sticky toffee pudding!!! Amazing!! We also enjoyed our Scotch eggs, bubble and squeak, bangers and mash, and shepherds pie. Seems like (on weekend night) you better grab a reservation. We waited without one and considered ourselves lucky when some space at the bar opened up well before a table was available for 4.
Fantastic tavern! Food, drink, atmosphere, and service were spectacular. Pleasant, upbeat, happy server staff, bar staff, and manager. Went there on Mother's Day 2025, busy day & place! The Shepards pie, and Welsh rarebit we both outstanding!
My buddy had never had British food before and he had never had Beef on Weck either. So we went all out! Everything was great except the fish was soggy in spots. We got Fish and Chips which came with Tartar Sauce (the Tartar Sauce was great), Mushy Peas, Curry Sauce (which is used to dip the Fish and Chips in), Beef on Weck, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. What a great experience! I would love to be able to come back one day. The service is excellent, the food was affordable and delicious, and the atmosphere was on point. I highly recommend.
This place is fantastic. I've had dinner here a few times, and we love it. They go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. The staff is friendly, and the food is excellent. They offer beers, but no liquor. The sticky toffee pudding is the best!
Excellent restaurant! I've been probably 10x now, and for being out in the middle of farm country, this restaurant is way better than you'd expect it to be. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent drink menu. I'd always make a reservation for dinner. You will never find it empty.
We were a party of 2, with reservations. First off, it's a real English pub in America. Bar None. It's in a quaint building on the crossroads of gorgeous agricultural countryside in rural Pennsylvania. It also boasts the fireplace, the woodwork, and the atmosphere. It's also Kid friendly, indicative of a real pub. Drinks: The draft menu was well rounded, with a nice collection of imports. All told probably 70+ beers and ciders to choose from. I settled on a Crabbie's Original Ginger Beer, which I haven't had for eons. My wife went with a Unsweetened Ice Tea, it was dark and definitely a house blend. They were a great start. Appetizers: We both settled on Welsh rarebit and bubble and squeak. They were fantastic. The B&S was very luscious. The freshness of the scallions and cabbage was incredible, and the sour cream was just this decadent compote of sorts that tied it together. The Welsh rarebit was equally delicious, and long after the Crostini was gone, the staff simply left it at the table as it basically became a dip-all for everything. It's that Damn good . Mains: I wanted to do a review on a full english experience in America. I went into this restaurant with that attitude. However, the special they offered BBQ Platters "Smoked Chicken Quarter, Banger, Pulled Pit Beef & Pork Belly with spicy pickles and Apple.Slaw" spoke to me. A truly Englich Pub producing American BBQ, the one food America is noted in creating. I had to try it, and I wasn't disappointed. First off, let's get this out of the way. This kitchen knows how to make slaw. I can confidently recommend anything with slaw in the description without even trying it. Not only was it house, but you can tell the recipe was scrutinized. The only sin was there wasn't more of it, same for the house pickles which was a bit unfortunate the meat was resting on it, so I couldn't get a full crisp bite, they were warm and limp, but the brine was good and the acid cut through the pork belly. Since we were
Wonderful and aesthetically pleasing kind of atmosphere with amazing eats! We have celebrated 2 holiday parties here, once in 2023, once in 2024. We plan on doing our next holiday party here again in 2025. Recently met a friend for lunch here and it’s now our go to spot to meet up. Service can be a bit hectic, but it’s always compassionate and they are up front and honest when things are busy. Servers are great, drinks are interesting and tasty and again the food is so amazing! On our most recent visit we had this burger and chicken sandwich and we split both because of the interesting condiments that were on it and we had never heard of-truly out of this world! Excited to return. If you haven’t been-it’s a must go! Be aware parking could be tricky if it’s a busy night, if you can carpool that’s best. Oh-at the holiday party, we tried every dessert on the menu-everything is perfection! You can also BYOB and they’ll bring wine glasses to the table and open your bottle for you as well. There’s something for everyone at The Whip!
One of our local favorites in the middle of nowhere. Always great service, food, beer and friendly patrons.
"A little piece of home" from the second I walked in I felt like I'd walked in a pub at home in Nottingham England. I was totally spoiled for choice with the options on the menu but the the number one food I miss from the uk is sausages so bangers and mash was the obvious choice. I now have to go back again sometime soon for the fish and chips but then I have to make the difficult decision to get mushy pees or curry sauce. I guess I could get both. Since then I also heard they do an amazing full English breakfast (brunch) so I guess what I'm saying is, "it's bloody lovely at the Whip and I'm gonna make it me second home!"
The Whip Tavern is a bit in the boondocks, but it has a crowded (free) valet parking area. Inside, the atmosphere is rustic yet cozy—very English pub–style. You can tell this place gets packed with locals, making it feel like a hidden gem. The servers definitely expect you to have a reservation, so it’s highly recommended. There’s a nice selection of beers to choose from. The Scotch egg was decent. The soups were a bit disappointing especially the mushroom soup, which wasn’t the creamy mushroom soup most people would expect. It was very bland.. tasted healthy. That said, I was blown away by the weekend special beef Wellington. The bangers and mash were pretty good as well. The English toffee pudding was excellent! Overall, the prices weren’t bad. The bartender greeted us promptly and my server was great. I would definitely come back and try more dishes.
