One of the closest pubs to Smithfield Market in London, the Bishop’s Finger points the way to fabulous food and drink - serving exceptional freshly-prepared dishes including some of the market’s finest meat.
You can enjoy delicious fresh fare here, with a crowd-pleasing menu of modern pub food complemented by a raft of daily specials and a superb collection of ales, lagers, wines and spirits at the bar.
Perfect for a quiet, peaceful pint, The Bishop’s Finger is great for group get-togethers too. There’s plenty of comfortable seating in the charming, traditional bar area on the ground floor, while a private-hire function room on the first floor enables you to celebrate special occasions in style.
There are even a few tables outside, ideal for watching the world (and those Smithfield market crowds) go by in summer…
Whatever the season, come rain or shine, a warm welcome awaits.

If you want sausages, mash and gravy then you'll be hard pressed to find better in the city. Have been several times and the food and beer is always good. One of my favourite places. The staff are friendly and the service is prompt. Service was delayed on a recent visit but the quality of the food made up for it.
Only visit when go Barts with my brother yearly .. but landlady always remembers us she is so friendly and welcoming we had a great lunch there today the food was lovley and service and drinks and sat outside in the the sunshine even better
Nice pub serving fresh Bishops Finger ale. Personally I like a colder beer so after I tried the cask ale, I switched to the colder bottled Bishops Finger. Ordered the Market Sausage ‘n Mash. Absolutely delicious!! Plenty of seating. Relaxing atmosphere and not busy on a Monday evening. Friendly staff with quick service. Good tunes playing, lively crowd, great food and even better beers. A must try spot for the tourist or the local.
I wish all pubs be like this in the central London! Great pub food served daily Various draught real ales and lagers plus big selection of spirits Quick service Friendly Staff Good management Recommend!
I didn't know pubs like this still existed in Central London especially after the pandemic so I was glad to stumble across this gem. It has lots of dark wood inside which adds character to the decor and ambience and serves a great rose wine. They have a private function room upstairs as well as limited outside seating overlooking Smithfields & Barts Hospital. Lovely.
