Next door to the Old Vic theatre, The Waterloo Bar and Kitchen is a bright, minimalist restaurant with a punchy menu of British and European gastro-pub classics. The stark white interior with its high ceilings and blue pillars is scattered with wooden tables and chairs, with cosier booths down one wall and specials chalked up on enormous blackboards. Typical dishes include smoked haddock with bubble and squeak and a sturdy beef wellington. A sleek basement function room seats up to 30 guests.
