So Ma Dukes And I Checked Out The Church Key Bistro Pub In London Ontario.......

     It seems every time I get tickets to a concert Ma Dukes ends up joining me. This time it was Chicago and Earth, Wind and Fire and the pre-concert dinner was at The Church Key Bistro Pub in downtown London, Ontario.

     The Church Key Pub is located on 476 Richmond St. across from the Grand Theatre and only a few blocks away from Bud Gardens making it the ideal spot to  dine before an event. It is a welcoming and warm space and gets busy when events are happening downtown but lucky enough we were able to get a table for two.
     We were seated and we began to decide what we should order. I gave the beer menu a once over and could not believe how reasonably priced the Church Key's beers are. A 10 oz draft started at $3.75 (and have only gone up to $4.10 after the minimum wage increase), keep this in mind when considering a place downtown to go to for drinks. We ordered drinks and appetizers, Ma Dukes went with the soup and I opted for the mussels steamed with leeks and lager beer. A massive loaf of bread with house blended butter also made its way to our table.
     The mussels were excellent, steamed to perfection in beer just like the ones I make at home. They also offer a baked version in a white wine cream sauce that I will have to return and try. Ma Dukes liked her soup and the loaf of bread and butter was so good we asked for another loaf.
     Now for the main course I decided on the Church Key burger with a Caesar side salad and Ma Dukes went with the fish and chips.

     Ma Dukes is British and a bit of a fish and chips aficionado and she gave her order the two thumbs up. I have been know to eat a few burgers myself and really enjoyed the Church Key burger. The patty was made in house and was topped with caramelized onions and Stilton cheese which added some bite to the burger. The Caesar salad was a great choice after eating all the bread from the appetizer round as well as the bun from the burger.
     The service was excellent just like the food. Surprisingly the prices are also very reasonable too. Some of the neighbouring dinning establishments in the area are known for their expensive prices and through my assumptions I placed the Church Key into the same category. Totally not the case, the fish & chips are only $17.50 and the burger was only $18.50. A visit to a chain restaurant these days will run you a similar bill (more if you are ordering beer).
     Jay Eatz definitely recommends the Church Key Bistro Pub downtown London. Elevated pub fare at reasonable prices, cheap beer and a great chance to support a local downtown business by shopping local.

If you're in London and you are looking for a perfect place to chill, you must go to The Church Key Pub because they are offering great food and great view. The pub itself is a charmer so you don't need to worry about not getting what you paid for. I tried searching for online reviews about the restaurant, and people were saying nice stuff about The Church Key Pub! Your features says a lot of great things about the place, so I guess, it's going to be worth the time to be there!

The Church Key Bistro club looks like one of my favorite restaurants here at my place. It also serves the same kinds of foods based on the pictures that you have shared. To be honest, being able to see all of the pictures above actually make me miss the restaurant that I have mentioned. I actually have lots of good memories in that place with the people that are closest to my heart. If I will be able to visit London someday, I will make sure that I will visit this pub as well. I really want to try their burger because it looks so delicious just by looking at the image that you have posted. Thanks for the information by the way.
