About Granny Annies Kitchen
Granny Annies Kitchen is a gastropub on Chichester Street near St George's Market that works as a casual all-day spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. The space is built from salvage — tables made from old farming tools and factory machinery, walls covered in eclectic decor that rewards a second look. You'll find live music most days, a serious beer and cocktail list, and a kitchen that handles burgers, steaks, fish and chips, and chicken escalope without fuss. Service moves fast when it's busy, and staff work visibly well together. The crowd's mixed: groups, tourists, university students, people on hen dos. It's the kind of place that doesn't try to be precious about gastropub credentials but delivers on them anyway. Reviews consistently praise portion sizes, value for money, and the fact that you don't feel heavy the next day — a practical compliment that matters more than you'd think.
What Stands Out
Reliable food, proper portions
Multiple reviewers praised specific dishes: 'steak was so very very good', 'fish and chips beautiful. Massive portion', 'goujons looked and tasted fresh and big portions'. One reviewer noted 'I didn't feel stodgy the next day' — a mark of kitchen discipline.
Staff who actually work together
A hen do reviewer observed 'I have never seen tables cleaned down so quickly and staff working so well together'. Individual servers named (Gabriela, Gavriella) across multiple reviews as 'a hoot', 'so lovely and friendly', 'very attentive with many check backs'.
Live music and atmosphere that justifies the visit
Reviews mention 'full day live music', 'music was great', 'Sunday afternoon' live performances, and the decor of recycled/salvaged materials creating 'great interest'. Atmosphere described as 'cosy' and 'trendy' by venue attributes, 'casual' by design.
