82/ 100

Our research-based editorial assessment.

From ~£16pp

Indicative price at the time of review.

The Old Joint Stock occupies a Grade II-listed former Victorian bank on Temple Row West, opposite the Cathedral, with a soaring domed hall that is among the most impressive pub interiors in the city. As a Fuller's house it serves a dependable, well-priced Sunday roast, and its central location - a short walk from New Street, Snow Hill and the Cathedral - earns it our highest accessibility score, which is why it makes the list despite food that reads as solid-chain standard rather than a destination roast in aggregated reviews. It's the pick for convenience and setting when you're already in town, rather than the best plate on the page. Prices are indicative and typically start in the mid-teens per person.
