Anchor Bankside Reviews

Disappointing,had been looking forward to a good lunch.Food arrived stone cold, cutlery not very clean.Chaotic only 2 bar staff serving,card payment out of order.Long bar wait to order or make payment.Manage ment tried to make amends for cold food,but really not good enough.Plus toilets bad,gents no door lock, ladies worse blood on toilet seat,and hand cleaning area awash,unsafe and insanitary.The only good point was the beer (Greene King) was very good.

This is a cozy pub located righ by the Southwark bridge. They have excellent classic fish and chips and pot pies. For sunny days, they have a big outside seating area to soak up the sun. They also have a great drink list and many different beers, wines, and mixed drinks to choose from. Order at the bar and they bring your food out to the table. Servers are friendly and the service is fast. Would highly recommend coming here for classic English food.

good location but unsuprisingly very busy especially in the evening. Its quieter during the day and well worth a stop off for a pint if you are walking from london bridge to southbank etc. Food is ok but basic

Only pub in London I've been in where people queue ok in single file. Why? Well there there's three bars including the one outside, but each each have just one bar tender. Really poor for this time of year, and shows a lack of business foresight considering the weather. Guess just happy to run on a shoestring as tourists 'will wait' no idea what the food is like, we left. Seriously, don't bother

Beautiful cosy pub on the River Thames. Delicious food, decent selection of beer and no shortage of places to sit! Service was excellent, always very friendly and happy to explain the menu without being asked! Have been here twice now on our visits to London and safe to say we will be back very soon!

Service is poor; miserable staff, irritating doormen....

Lovely pub. Covid safe/friendly. Great food at reasonable prices, (for London) Friendly staff. X

An 'olde worlde' pub, spread over a number of floors next to the river Thames. Very good food, reasonably priced for the area.

Great place. Lots of history, opened in 1615. Cheap drinks and food and a fantastic view of the Thames and London.

Good friendly but expensive coz it's London probably

Nice little pub to sit and have a quick drink inbetween walking

Standard pub fare but well prepared & very quick, friendly service. Loads of room inside & out.

Went with kids firquick pint n bite. Was lovely place. Great food. Would go back

A nice place to eat, the food is great and not expensive.

Crowded like any other pub in that area, nice atmosphere and tasty beers

Abundant food and quaint local on the banks of the Thames .. after having eaten we discovered listening to a guide who is the most famous pub in London.

Very cosy and spacious. 2 bar areas to order drinks from.

The pub is ok, staff is helpful and location is great, but if you are a Londoner the space lacks character and cosy atmosphere.

A convivial welcoming atmosphere, combined with friendly service and good quality food and beer, made this a pleasant place for lunch.

Okay pub...beer okay...seating okay...food is chip etc

A nice place .. we ate very well .. very kind staff

Super nice location to just chill by the river and grab a beer

Great meeting place & the staff very helpful Honest John The Wandering Wallsgrove

Although it is a very touristy Pub, with all the good and bad that that means, it is still an example of the true British Pub. The variety of beers are very well selected, the food is abundant, the bathrooms are more than good and it has wifi that works in a powerful way everywhere. The best of the pub, the atmosphere of camaraderie that forms. Highly recommended the feet.

Good pub, great spot. I have been there couple of times and never had a bad experience. Great for drinks and for food.

I would just stick with drinks at this place. We had much better pub food at other places (we had the fish n chips and a hamburger). They do have a nice outdoor seating area right next to the river, which is nice when there is good weather.

Quaint English pub on the bank of the Thames really great fast service Good food

Nice shabby pub feel; good variety, drinks and atmosphere. Easily, my favourite drinking place in London Bridge area. In addition a spacious seating area right by the Thames, perfect during summer time.

touristy pub, serving very average food and overpriced drinks. best avoided.

The service is terrible. Don't go to eat there.
The staff are very rude. Appalling.

Nice looking pub great for the tourists not your wallet!

Wicked pub. This place would be great in the summer!

Sorry for the that. That wasn't something I meant to leave. I must've clicked it by accident. I will however leave an intended review now saying that I loved your pub! It's a lovely place in a gorgeous locarion and I cannot wait to come back once we're able to. Sorry for the accidental review first time round.

Good real ale, food and atmosphere. Good outside space overlooking the river. Can get busy but always seems to be enough space for all. One of my favourite London pubs.

Quite rude service, lukewarm beer, and food that tastes like an American's mediocre attempt at fish & chips.

Very good pub!! Had a little do here for an Xmas party. We had a room booked which had a bar and plenty of room for people. Only small issue was there didn t seem to be any heating. But didn t bother me. Would recommend to others though!

Nice place and outlook. Expensive with no service at all.

Nice bar overlooking the Thames and a nice view of London town

Spacious pub with fine beer selection. Friendly staff

Pleasant riverside pub which serves food. Always busy and vibrant. Has an outdoor area if you can get a seat.

Beautiful little pub on the Thames with a lovely quirky exterior and comfy interior. Great food, friendly staff and very quick service (Sunday lunchtime). Also have outdoor seating and bar area overlooking the Thames with lovely seating and fairy lights. Highly recommend.

Lovely cute bar, iconic location, easy to get to and the drinks are very generous and evenly priced! Absolutely love it here! You should visit! If not you should tell s friend to tell a friend! Was my first time as well!

Great looking pub inside and out. Great atmosphere, and lovely outdoor area next to the river.

Went with a friend inside the restaurant just to ask the kitchen's closing time. I've been interrupted, without having the chance to tell my question, by a man of the staff and sent out because there were no tables available for us. I should have booked, that's true, but overall the staff could have told us the things they said more gently.

Pub very typical full Irish style ... Good food and friendly staff ...

1 cup of Guinness, 1 cup of IPA, 11-12 pounds? The atmosphere is like a foreign pub just like a loud! !!!!!! If you have one thing that is not good, go over 9 o'clock and only drink beer , I want to eat fish and chips ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I would want to give 0 stars!
We discovered this very nice looking pub while walking and drove there on our last day to stop for a last beer. At the entrance we were turned away in a very unfriendly manner because, according to the doorman, your registration system (due to Corona) did not work for German guests. We had this problem in some other pubs before, but here we received FRIENDLY help and we could still stop by!

Great site, and the Fish and chips very good. Beer, as in almost all pubs, a little cold and a little pissed, but it seems to be normal

Got the favourites platter... BURNT sliders. No excuse for that, rubbish

Really interesting bar and a nice place to go with your friends

Bog standard pub, bit of a tourist trap. Greta views of the river though

Lovely decking area in summer. Great for a few beers and a catch up. Queueing to get served was a bit of an issue but was really busy

Probably the best fish & chips in London, great atmosphere of the place, good beer, affordable prices for London of course. recommend

Very busy bistro pub. It was packed so it's obviously popular. Lots of interesting nooks and crannies in here and a lively atmosphere.

I ate Fish and Chips and it was delicious! Right next to the River Thames. I was seated with an outdoor table, but I did not have any staff in the open air. I had to have a table number to order food. I had no staff to give a table number. I ordered it a little harder and I was glad it was delicious. It is a good place to have a drink while watching the view. I do not think you should expect anything else.

Service is confusing and non-existent. Had to order food at one interior bar and beer at another. Lost my terrace table in the process.
