For such a beautiful old pub, it is a shame that the ambience inside doesn't match because it is completely ruined by loud plastic pop music blasted from the TVs. It was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves speak. Why have TVs on in a pub with such history? Unless it is for sport I suppose. A jukebox would be good. It's nice to sit outside if you can find a seat.

Historic pub in St. Catherine's Dock. I like to go back to this pub as it brings back great memories from my time working in London in the late 70s. In those days it was heaving at lunchtime with all the business people drinking pint after pint of ale and everyone was smoking. The floor was covered in sawdust - I kid you not. Nowadays I was one of 6 people in there on a Tuesday lunchtime. I had the fish and chips and it was very nice. Worth a visit if you fancy a change from all the usual brand named places.

Based on the pub itself rather than the restaurants upstairs. I ordered a drink and food here. They were busy but I have to say the service was slightly rubbish and it was a bit chaotic.. the food order for my friend and I was also wrong and even though we informed the waiter they never came back and corrected it. I would come back here for a drink and a social as I like the venue itself and it has a good mix of patrons but I would only get food from the restaurant or pizzeria upstairs.

The food was of good quality, although the portion seemed a little small for my "large starter as main" variant of fishcakes. We were sat outside on the top floor restaurant, which the staff managed to accommodate us even though it was busy and we were a walk in group. The food and drink was a little expensive, and for those wishing to drink beer the selection was limited unless you wanted to walk down 2 floors to the bar and buy separately.

The waiter and manager was rude. The waiter brought me the wrong meal and then proceeded to bring me an under cooled steak. After a few minutes of wasting our time and arguing with us we left extremely dissatisfied and hungry this is the worst meal and experience we have had in a very long time

I have to say I was really looking forward to trying this place out, tucked away amongst a plethora of other foodie haunts, I was sat outside over looking London bridge and the boats, not bad, I even had some friends to keep me company. Unfortunately the food was just about standard and the price did not match, the staff were friendly but a 12% compulsory service charge on the mediocre over priced steak was the cost I was forced to pay for the privilege. It lost a because regardless of how great the location, venue and staff are if you can't produce the goods at the price your charging, then your unlikely to get return customers. Just as well I was only visiting so your regulars will be none the wiser. Thanks anyway I did enjoy the evening overall and the place had a great vibe.

Top floor of a lovely old building in St Katharine Dock overlooking the wharf. The food is good but it took some persistence to find staff who had knowledge of gluten free meals and were willing to help. There are not many options but what there is are very good. Would visit again
