We recently spent the weekend in London and stayed at The Culpepper. The location is brilliant, good value, close to London Liverpool Station making traveling from Stansted an absolute breeze and the Aldgate East tube station is only a 5 min walk away from the hotel. Spitalfields Market and Truman Brewery Market are also near by and there are loads of wonderful restaurants and shops in the immediate area.
From the moment we arrived the staff were friendly and helpful, holding our bags while we waited for our room to be ready. The welcome drink and the 10% discount on food and drink is a really lovely touch. We had lunch at The Culpepper on the first day. We had the hummus and flat breads, burratta with kale and hazelnuts, cheese croquettes and pumpkin pie for dessert. All the food was exceptional. Very fresh ingredients and so so tasty. Their drinks menu is extensive with many local beers, fun cocktails, extensive wine list and even some wonderful non alcoholic choices. I was interested in trying an orange wine that they had on the menu and they let me taste it first which was really nice.
We had dinner the second night we stayed and once again the food was exceptional. We had the bavette, monkfish and mackerel pate. The food is such high quality and the portion sizes are perfect, not too much but not too little. We also had a number of cocktails, the Fig & Bubbles being my favourite and it was lovely then to pop up the stairs to bed when we were finished.
Even though the hotel is situated over a pub and restaurant we never noticed any noise from below, even though it was massively busy when we returned to the hotel on Friday evening. The room was nicely decorated, with a stack of books about the local area being a very nice touch.
Breakfast is served at their sister hotel just down the street, which gave us a nice little walk each morning and once again the food was superb.
We are returning to London next summer for another trip and will be staying at The Culpeper again. We look forward to hopefully experiencing the rooftop bar as it was closed due to the time of year.

We celebrated a 30th birthday, in this beautiful and luminous place. Huge appreciation for the friendly and kind staff. The food was delicious and it just made the base for a gorgeous day.
Thank you to the Culpeper team and Lewis, whom I communicated through emails to ensure all was sorted for the day.

Went for a delicious sunday roast here. We were 20 minutes late and they kept our booking which was so appreciated.
The Culpeper is a beautiful pub with a great atmosphere and interior design.
The food itself was also so so good. We had comte and black garlic croquettes which were delicious and then I had the chicken roast.
The roast was sensational and my friends beef also lovely. Would 100% come back here

Great pub and a good selection of beers. If the roof is open idyllic and lovely. They do manage numbers up there so makes it even. Nicer...if you can get up.
September 2024:
Stopped by for drinks at the rooftop garden area and dinner in the dining room.
The rooftop is a very pleasant area to chat and enjoy the outdoors. Had a IPA session from Purity Brewing.
Dinner started with the bread and house butter. Then we had the bavette (steak) with fries, chicken and bacon pithivier, and a side of green beans. The food was very delicious 😋.
In the dining room, the beer selection had more options. Tried a bitter from Five Points Brewing.
Service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back again for more delicious food and beer.

First time staying in a pub. What a great experience!!! The rooms were great. Even though the bar was popping it was quiet when we went upstairs. We ate at the restaurant for dinner which was one of the best meals in London!
The rooftop was great and free breakfast at the Buxton was amazing. Will be back!

We enjoyed a gorgeous Sunday roast here last week. The portion size was generous but not too much that you couldn’t finish it all!
My partner had the beef roast, and I had the vegan roast, and we both thoroughly enjoyed them! The staff were very accommodating when we asked for extras like more gravy or a Yorkshire!
They have a nice selection of beers which we started with. The glass of chilled Portuguese red was perfect on the 30 degree day we visited 😅 But I must say my favourite part of my meal was the orange tequila cocktail I had, I am still thinking of it to this day!
The building itself was very lovely and pretty to enjoy a special meal in.
