The Gun Pub Reviews

Quality restaurant in this historic riverside dockers pub. Splendid food, A1 service and cosy little rooms with open fires. What's not to love about that!?

Nothing to right home about. Usual Eastend types slightly deluded thinking they're the Krays Lol

An awesome place to sit back and enjoy the night views from around the corner of Canary wharf.. Nab a place on the outer side and They also have a small open area if you are interested.. Food is amazing here and served with passion.. I loved the ambience!

Sunday roast was a bit rough on the finish. Hard to get table without reservation. Otherwise nice spot, good views..,..

I had my 60th birthday suprise on Sunday 13th October - my son and daughter hired the River Room - the afternoon was absolutely fantastic - the waitress and staff were first class and were very attentive - even with my 92 year old Mother they were extremely patient and caring - the food was first class and beautiful - there was nothing that could have been any better - fantastic chef and service

Thank you so much - the room, the service and venue was simply perfect

Great location, good beers on tap, easy walking distance from Canary Wharf. Didn't eat here but I will go back. They also offer a free lunch time pickup and drop off service from Canary Wharf.

A great hidden gem this pub. Staff were incredibly friendly when I turned up with 9 pals. Place was packed but we were asked if wanted seats and showed us to the fantastic outside undercover seating area overlooking the river. Superb. We will be back.

Fantastic Sunday Roast. Really happy and friendly staff.

Delicious Sunday roast, fab staff and perfect pub atmosphere! Love this place - can t wait to go back!!

The best gastropub at Canary Wharf. A good patio and some nice beets.

English Pub as its best
Great view on the river

The evening started well. A nice gastropub tucked away down a small street. Just as I like them. Seated at a nice table with a lovely river view. Waited for 2 other guests to arrive with a drink. My guests arrived and we ordered and this is More

Settling

very nice gastropub. it's cosy without being cramped. if it's summertime bagsy a seat on the deck out back and have a nice tipple whilst watching the boats go by.

Thoroughly enjoyable visit. Great views, cracking wine selection, incredible food. Highly recommended.

Had a nice steak my wife had the fish she said it was nice but could have been a bit hotter the staff were helpful but the pub itself is in need of a refurbishment which we were told is happening next month.

A hidden gem - just walking distance from the high rise towers and modernity of Canary Wharf.

The Gun is an authentic historic riverside Inn dating back at least a couple of hundred years which is located directly on the North bank of the River Thames. At the rear there is a terrace from which it is possible to sit at a table and watch the river traffic passing by and gaze across at the huge modern structure of the O2 Arena which is located in North Greenwich (to the SOuth of the river).

A fine selection of ales, wines and spirits are on offer, together with a full yet reasonably priced menu.

The rooms to the rear of the pub house an interesting collection of antique firearms - in keeping with the 'Gun' theme.

The best thing about this place is that the boss paid!

Love this pup although its a long way away from me but the food is amazing and very friendly staff
Thank you for a great Sunday lunch

Really lovely Gastropub, especially love the Sunday roast!

Great old pub with fantastic views over the river and the O2.

Service was very good with great frendly staff but the food quality could have a been a bit better.

Will definatly go back

Nice venue with great views of Thames. Food looked great too

Fantastic hidden pub in East London. Food is incredibly good (we had the set menu) and you get a lovely view from the terrace. Make sure you book if want food though

Such a great find! Tucked away on a little side street in Canary wharf (ish) area, this pub is a great mixture of casual hang out and nicer dining. The view of the Thames and the O2 is fantastic and best seen by the side garden. The choice of beers and alcohol is decent. And the staff are all friendly. Only just discovered this place over the weekend and I've already been back! Highly recommend!

Great restaurant. Lovely food. Nice beer. Delightful terrace overlooking the Thames and the O2. Off the beaten track but worth the effort.

Historic pub on the river now somewhat at odds with the Canary Wharf development, still the best pub on the peninsula.

Nice pub next to the river. Food is not too bad. Went lunchtime on a weekday and it was peaceful. The fries are also worth having.

Had a great evening in the river room. Food was beautiful, staff were great. Friendly & fun & very attentive.
The view is lovely & a great room for a private meal with friends.

A little disappointed. I don't usually write reviews but today's experience was such a bordering one that I don't want anyone else to experience it as it is.

We had the roast chicken for two. The chicken was lovely. But everything else was so bland. The gravy was like water, the cauliflower cheese was watery and there wasn't much taste of cheese to it, the potatoes were ok but not crispy, the veg was a bit oily, I had a pool of oil in the bottom of my Yorkshire pudding, the Yorkshire itself tasted of nothing, EVEN THE RED CABBAGE was surprisingly plain tasting.

Desperate times caused for desperate measures...I asked for some cranberry source but they had none, so then asked for some horseradish, which I wouldn't usually put with chicken. I was hoping it would wake my taste buds up but it tasted of a creamy bread sauce with a hint of hourseraddish (No need to brandish a warning label for its intense heat, unfortunately).

If you decide to give them a go, don't try the chicken. The team looked like they knew what they were doing so I assume the other dishes would be more interesting.

Nice pub atmosphere. Food okay, but not best value for money in my opinion.

Great atmosphere in the outdoor area, beautiful view, accommodating staff, nicely presented drinks

Simply superb. Try to get a table that looks out on the river.

First visit superb we will be back , the cobbler was delish

Really good location right on the Thames. Good service, nice ambience but food a little expensive. Truly fantastic selection of beers and a great wine list.

Great Sunday roast. Great location also, overlooking the Thames to the O2.
With current climate, staff were so professional emphasizing the rules to follow. Really great place to visit

Private party in room overlooking the Thames. Great food and ambience. Only not a 5 as the service wasn't on the ball all the time

Great pub friendly and helpful bar staff. They have some amazing and unique cocktails. I would personally recommend the G&T

The Sunday roast is up there amongst the best. One star down for waiting a while for the food to get come out. Nice atmosphere and recommended for groups of friends / family.

Great food and drinks. Good service. Outdoor seating is abit crowded (very small gaps between tables), but makes up with great views of the river!

I have been frequenting the gun for many years with friends, family, even on my own it s an outstanding bar/restaurant the food is amazing I am so pleased it s in my neighbourhood, the staff are so very helpful and accommodating, I am
Looking forward to it being re-opened very soon x

Nice place, its atmosphere is comfortable, the personal, food and drinks are greats, make this a special place.

Definitely a nice place to spend an evening for a dinner with friends. The 45 day-aged hampshire Rib of Beef 1.2kg is quite delicious. The steak was rare and tender although part of it was medium cooked. The view over O2 is spectacular in the night. Good Italian wine available.

Best roast in London by a country mile! Potatoes were crispy, root veg were superb, meat was high quality, service was fast. The price is very reasonable for London. Also the beer garden looked lovely for a Sunday afternoon beer.

Brilliant food and lovely location looking over the river

Beautiful little pub/ restaurant, tucked away a 10 minute walk from Blackwall station. Fantastic service and delicious food. I ordered the monk fish which was accompanied by a generous bowl of shellfish mariniere - absolutely delicious and couldn't be faulted!

The Gun prepared a vegan course for one other person and me. The food was really good.
The selection of wine is nice but a little on the pricey side. Beer is reasonably priced and a decent collection.
There are a couple of cozy rooms with fire places.
The service was pretty good too.

Always great to visit, friendly staff and high class food... a must dine place!

The pub has definitely exceeded our expectations today. The staff was very kind and accommodating, the food was delicious and very well presented. I highly recommend trying the mussels. The outside views are amazing but would suggest asking for a table with the river view.

Haven't dined here, but the bar snacks (black pudding scotch egg, 'bookmakers' steak sandwich, devilled whitebait) are wonderful accompaniments to drinks served just right. The river terrace has tables with heated canopies, but you really want to sit by the log fires. One of the best riverside pubs in London, in any weather - I've been here on rainy days and still had a lovely time. I am so glad this is my local!!

The food and our waiter was the redeeming feature.

We decided to try this place for a date night, promises of river views and cosy pub atmosphere. Booked a week in advance.

Hard to get to, as building works have cut off the usual route and you have to walk all around the docks - no mention of this on their website.

Had to talk to two members of staff until someone could tell me where to go for my reservation

There was a function on that night so very crowed

The seats were like deck chairs and had no back to them

Sat outside with heaters and blankets. Mice under the floor boards

Incense was lit next to our table and it stank - no one asked before hand if it was ok. Subjected to the smell for the rest of the meal.

The food however was perfect. Really delicious. And our waiter was super friendly and nice. It saved a night that otherwise was going pretty badly for the Gun. I might go back. Not sure. Food is worth it. Everything else is questionable.

We sat outside on the river and enjoyed the view and the food was excellent. Staff were also very friendly. Do advise to book in advance as they seem to be busy during the weekends when having food.

Delicious food. Friendly service and the most amazing wine. Try the solline wine.

I've only eaten Scotch Egg there but it was great. It was my first one I've ever tried and it couldn't be better. Kind stuff that helped to choose the beer that perfectly matched, very interesting interior and detached terrace at the river Bank with the view on O2 arena.

Great Staff , Great Drinks Fantastic Atmosphere. Looking forward to Sunday Roast there.

Great Area, however they are overpriced. Portions are stingy and service although good at times, is not the best. I have seen them look reluctant to serve a group because they did not look like their usual "businessman" clientele. However it claims it is open to everyone. All in all very disappointed.

The sunday roast was possibly the best I've ever eaten (sorry mom!)

The service is good and the view from the terrace is fantastic but it is very pricy and the food is not particularly great.

Strange to get to if you're not from Canary Wharf area - but once you arrive, it's heaven! Beautiful deck overlooking the Thames for those warm days and a lovely old-worldy historic pub feel inside. Sunday roasts were lovely and good wine selection. Staff friendly and attentive.

This historical pub located in South Quay offers a good choice of beers and spirits as well as good food

Food was very nice and well presented. You could tell from the menu where everything was sourced from. The staff were very friendly. Initially couldn't find parking but staff advised of a car park nearby.
