The Gun Pub Reviews

Not easy to find, but a great view of the Thames. A pint of prawns was just perfect and the beers are varied. Can get busy.

Awesome pub with fantastic views. Sit in the conservatory for views of the river and the O2.

Big an of this pub. Food is good. Really nice riverside seating. Ambience inside is great with all the old guns in the wall... but it s just so far from transport now.

Really good find, beautiful riverside location and perfect Sunday roast, what more could you ask for

Great little spot by the river, complete with a great variety of beers brewed by their own brewery, great food and fantastic service and atmosphere.

I was on my Sunday morning walk when I saw a sign saying 'riverside pub' and I thought I'd treat myself to a pint and maybe a meal. Walked into a pretentious 'gastropub' with unfriendly staff where I was made to feel unwelcome immediately. Bought a pint and left after one drink, never to return. Don't come here if you're looking for a riverside pub.

My local and my favourite place to have a quick drink after work. The staff are lovely and the place is really cosy. Really good food too.

Really yummy food, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely dinner overlooking the Thames and will definitely be back. They're dog friendly too.

A cosy setting on the River Thames. Food is tasty, expect to get what you pay for. A good selection of wines, they also knock up cocktails. Nice fireplace too!

Great pub with very friendly staff, good beer and fantastic views - but the food was overpriced and a bit pretentious.

We went to The Gun in Docklands to eagerly watch the 25 finalists, chefs from various well known restaurants, competing for the best slider spot in The Slider Decider competition.

During the heats, The Gun team ensured we were feed and watered with beers and ales available, and cheeseburger and pulled pork sliders.

It was fun watching the chefs battle it out in the kitchen during the first heat.

However, it got packed in the marquee very quickly. One downside of being further back in the marquee was that we could not see everything that was going on during the heats.

We will be returning when the warmer summer weather arrives, as they have a fab riverside location & we will want to check out the new gin garden.

Hmm prices are quite hefty it I am honest, a little bit of out my league, however, I genuinely felt welcomed as I came in, awesome views of the 02 Areana and the river in the evening as well as great staff!

Food looks good, but Waiter didn't ask and serve us with raw meat - very expensive for pub food, not worth the money

Great spot out in the garden. Only downside is that they wont serve any food outside.

The place is an old pub. The beer is really good with a bit of choice of real ale.

The riverside terrace is great when sunny.

A great place to spend an afternoon with beers and friends

Good food. Good service. We have to wait a while. A little expensive

Wonderful local. Wonderful panorama and great atmosphere

Really disappointed elderly mother didn't feel conformable, did not live up to its reviews very overpriced

The Gun is fabulous. Lovely food. Good service and good beer.

Lovely old pub with great views. Really good selection of drinks.

Staff were impeccable and the food was amazingly delightful! These two elements should have made it a 5 star experience along with the stunning riverside seating area.
Unfortunately, The only drawback of the evening was the manager s terrible up selling skills. Brought out double the sides I had ordered and then asked if it was okay to charge me for it... (the South African chap with the beard and glasses)

Apart from that it was a great expierence!

Great pub, good food, nice people. Need say no more, thanks for looking after the No Hopers annual lunch

Great pub on the banks of the river.
Good food, attentive staff and excellent decor. Recommended.

We found this pub in a list of the best Sunday Roast. We did not expect a good place but we were really pleased.
Pub views are amazing, staff very friendly and the Sunday roast (pork) delicious. We where 5 frirnds having same dish andwe found Iit ddelicious.
Best Sunday roast in London so far!

Fantastic, cosy venue.

Excellent selection of beers, wines and gins, an open fire in winter and an excellent restaurant serving a high quality take on British classics.

One of the best places to eat near Canary Wharf. The best if you re looking for British Cuisine. Highly recommend.

The hotel s taste is very good and the scenery is good.

One of the best pubs in the docklands area. Great terrace/conservatory area on the river. Pretty good choice for food too.

I like this restaurant. The scenery was beautiful. Food will be served from 12:00.

Love this place, great food, fantastic surroundings, good beer and great Governers and staff, well worth a visit! I will return!!!

One of the coolest pubs I've visited in my lifetime. Great service and a fantastic location!

Slightly pricey but the food and the location are excellent

Fantastic pub in a gorgeous riverside location! The Sunday roast is especially top notch!

Lovely pub right on the water edge with great view of the 02. Staff friendly, service was good. Food mediocre especially for the price, would visit again on hot day if we were guaranteed seating outside.

Great food, beers, and whisky. Knowledgable, friendly staff and roaring fires! Sunday evenings are nice and relaxed.

When I made reservation I was told we can stay maximum 2 hours. I said ok. When we went there we were almost finish our lunch and I was still drinking my pint after 50 mins. Then waitress brought the bill without asking. Then she came back in 5 mins to get the bill. I told her we are not ready to leave we have 2 hours. Then she gave me weird look and left. I felt terrible for taking my friends there. Whereas, I read good review and had high expectations.

Great view from the terrace of the O2 across the river. The food and the drinks selection were very good.

Very cute little local with great views of the Thames. Good quality food, and a good selection of wines. It's a bit on the pricey side. Can be very busy at peak times.

Excellent pub - lovely riverside view and food good too

Great pub that's mainly a very good restaurant. The views of the Thames are great. It's not cheap but feels good value.

It's historic, well run and is a great escape from Canary Wharf.

Unfortunately I had to do the fastest eat and run I have ever had to do, but I ordered, paid and ate in record time. It is sad that that had to be the case as I really liked the look and feel of this classic style pub. Their Gin Garden has a fabulous view overlooking the Thames. I had their Sunday Roast, their beef, and it was marvelous, thr best I have had in London thus far. The beef was tender and juicy, full of flavor, served up with all the classic trimmings, the Yorkshire Pudding was fluffy and tasted great with the au jus gravy, they provided extra on the side, it did not go to waste. Also very much liked the horseradish cream sauce. There was I think a nod to the classic British dish Bubble and Squeak but done as a scalloped potato dish, at least that's how I interpreted the piece of baked potato slices with cauliflower. I must go back next time I am there. I little out of the way, but I think that adds to it's charm. Out of the way is relative, the DLR is about a 10 minute walk and there are buses that run nearby. The staff was friendly, and knowledgeable no

First post-lockdown2 meal - and so glad we chose The Gun.

We were lucky enough to be seated on the terrace with the lovely riverside seating, making for a great view (especially at night).

Food and service outstanding - our starters were rabbit with poached pears, which was exquisite; and Monkfish - also excellent.

The mains of pork belly were also up to the usual high standard - tender meat, crackling just right - and the mash with peanuts an original and tasty combination
.

Thanks particularly to the staff for making us feel welcome, safe and for the manager for asking the loud party to quieten down.

The most delicious beef, the most beautiful view, the most friendly service! Great place to visit and to experience an English Pub

Really nice place, good kitchen, great beer selection. Have fireplace and terrace with view over Thames. Daily pia was delicious.

Excellent service this lunch time. The waiters were so attentive especially with 2 toddlers. Food was wonderful very creative menu.

Very nice restaurant, just by the river, enjoyable during summer and winter however overpriced.

Very friendly pub on the outskirts of canary Wharf! Lamb shoulder was delicious!

The outdoor space is nice. Except that it is as good as any other pub if you are looking for a pint and food is ok but nothing amazing

It was very good again
Great sunday roast

Great pub, always enjoy a drink here. Food was a little bit of a let down this time. Sunday Roasts huge, Mallard had no sauce, absolutely flavourless. Drink & rugby excellent.

Very freindly staff and wuick service very resenable prices

Lovely pub with a great view, however a bit offside when visiting central London (a good 10 Minutes walk from the nearest DLR station).

The space on the riverside is very nice. There is also a good selection of beers.

For the benefit of the Chef I have added a photo to this website, of what the Roast Grouse dish is supposed to look like!

Nice, but expensive pub. They do a nice range of cocktails and the oysters were lovely.

Great food, great atmosphere and great service. In a really nice location on the Themes, a lovely spot to sit and have a glass of wine on the terrace.

Best Riverside gastropub! Amazing Sunday roast, live music and top service.
