Edit preface: Search for the following to know the real rating of the food since they have decided to try and split the food reviews from the Inn:
The Grill, Burr Cl, St Katharine's & Wapping, London E1W 1LZ, United Kingdom
When coming here you are met with a beautiful exterior. The interior is cosy and beer selection is plenty but unfortunately lacking in the cider department.
Was here with a rather large group were we booked the whole top floor. Started with not being able to order from the actual beer selection and we were directed by the waiters to go down 2 floors ourselves if the two options didn't suit us.
For main course we ordered burgers for all because of the claimed "Best burgers in London". It was the absolutely worst burger I have eaten at a restaurant for years. The burger tasted as if it was boiled and there was not even a hint to seasoning, agreed by everyone I spoke with at the dinner. Fries were OK but again, no seasoning at all.
During dessert I first got served a different dessert than the rest of the group for allergy reason, but the dessert I got served was THE thing I'm allergic to the most and the regular dessert actually was safe for me.
They forgot my friend beside me so when everyone except him had gotten their dessert at the table they started with the other ones. Finally we had to go up to the servers and tell them that they had not served my friend. All we got was an "Okey" and when they finally served him they did not even excuse themselves for forgetting him, only a bitter look in their face and tone as if it was more of a nuisance that they had to take the effort to come over and serve him than anything else.
The post-dinner tea/coffee was a complete mess of servers running around trying to serve people who had declined the offer of tea/coffee and then serve the wrong thing to those who wanted some. In the end they went around with 1-4 cups of different beverages and just asking everyone if and what they ordered. Again, no excuses for trying to serve the wrong thing to people.
Dirty toilets with broken interior was a perfect end to THE worst dinner experience I've had on the whole British Isles.
In conclusion: Avoid if you are looking for something to eat because I cannot imagine how bad the other dishes are. I would recommend going to Burger King before The Dickens Inn if you want a burger, or just make one yourself at home. It will not be worse.
