"The pub near the corner of Woodman Avenue and Burbank Boulevard has been a haven for Brits and English enthusiasts since owners Michael and Lorraine Williams opened the doors in 1982."
"Lorraine's original recipes are still the stars of the lengthy menu. Steak and kidney pie with a flaky crust that envelops chunks of steak and mineral-bright n."
"We're Brits, so we have to find the British pub, says manager Lydia Thelwell in her prominent Manchester accent."
"A bulldog wearing a tight vest adorned with the Union Jack and a smoking cigar hanging out of the corner of its mouth glares down at my seat in the dining room."
Robin Hood British Pub, established in 1982 in Sherman Oaks, serves traditional British dishes like fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and steak and kidney pie. The pub is decorated with British memorabilia, reflecting its cultural pride. Manager Lydia Thelwell, who joined in 1991, emphasizes the pub's significance to the British community. After the passing of co-owner Michael Williams in 2021, managers Thelwell, Ali Osment, and Julia Eaton took over operations, ensuring that Lorraine's original recipes remain central to the menu.
