The Gun Pub Reviews

Good pub in an interesting location. Fine service by friendly and efficient staff.

Great interiors with all the antique guns on the wall. The food is good but nothing can beat the location as it is right on the Thames. Great place for a summer drink!

Great pub. A bit pricey but fantastic views of the river!

I've yet to find a better gastropub.
Beautiful old building with chesterfield sofas/armchairs by a real log fire.
Overlooking the Thames & Millenium Dome.
Great food and drinks (craft beers, wines).
A little pricey, but worth it.

What a lovely pub this is. Went for a Sunday roast which was beautiful. Not the cheapest in town but beautifully prepared and served by very polite and attentive staff. The pub itself is steeped in history and its location on the river is lovely. If you can, sit in the conservatory area and watch river and all that offers go by. Will definitely be back probably in the summer when I guess the conservatory opens up for alfresco dining. Lovely.

This is a quiet little gem, while it is a tiny bit expensive for my tastes, I enjoyed evything on offer. The pints (including an offering from the award winning Curios brewing co) were all good as was my snack/starter of whitebait.

there is a great view of the Dome, and the River, and i can see this being a lovely place to kill time on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

Great pub with fireplace, tasty food and good service

very old traditional pub opposite O2 food and service are perfect ;)

Excellent food and services, I highly recommend it, do not forget to visit this restaurant, if you go to London.

Great location, great view from the terrace, excellent service and excellent food.

Excellent food and excellent service. Hope to visit again.

Lovely pub hidden away with real locals and a good atmosphere

Food is quite delicious and nice water view in summer time.The steak was rare and tender although part of it was medium cooked

awesome menu, terrific food. excellent service. good wine selection.

Having lived locally for seven years I know it well and I think The Gun really is a great pub. The staff are friendly and it's a beautiful building in a great riverside location. Food wise I'd give it 5 out of 5 every time.

Fantastic to see their own brewery, Long Arm, on draught there now. They do need a decent lager though, which they had with Unfiltered Camden Hells until recently . Now the options are Heineken or Amstel .

Nice cozy local pub, with warm atmosphere and beautiful working fireplaces in the winter.

I love this pub. Cosy inside, lovely terrace on the outside overlooking the river, and great food!

Beautiful little spot, nicely hidden away from the main road, with stunning views of the Dome

Lovely small english pub restaurant right across from the 02 arena lovely food nice drinks and excellent staff we will visit again

Very nice. Cozy. Great view. That one or the other is not perfectly clean could give a star deduction ..... but the atmosphere, the friendliness and the quality make up for it. After all, we didn't want to go to the Ritz.

Fortunate to be invited to a meal here post the BETT Show. Full of charm and great views over the Thames to the O2 arena. Service and meal were excellent.

Typical place, very nice outdoor terrace, very good food

Visited recently for a quick pint. The barman was inhospitable and more interested in conversation with other customers so forgot the basics like please and thank you. Very expensive for both food and drink. Only good thing about this place was the riverside terrace. Won't be returning.

Best pub food ever in London. Unique combination of food with starters and mains. Decent wine selection. Water view is stunning, if you get a chance to sit by the water on a nice spring day, it is worth the price.

Cute little pub and restaurant hidden away in the docklands. Has fantastic views of the Thames and O2. Good selection of drinks and bar food, along with great function spaces. I've not eaten in the restaurant but the menu looks amazing.
The Gun is a beautiful period venue with great decor and wood fired. Definitely go!

Very nice, pub with an upscale atmosphere, good food, not far from Excel.

Decor is amazing, drinks selection is great but slightly pricey. What disappointed me was the food, service was very poor took ages to get even water.
The roast beef was tough and full of grissel, the knife provide made it impossible to cut the meat. When asked I said the meat is quite tough, they said it's like that...

They provided 3 roast potatoes, a tiny amount of cauliflower and cheese. The gravy was delicious if they didn't provide a shot glass amount of it I asked three times for more for all six of us... And when it came to clearing up the plates it was so slow.

The deserts were so so the brownie dry and the high point was the mince pie ice cream was nice but small portions again.

All my friends were so disappointed they never mention when service is included in the bill, but they said should we even pay this. I said it is Christmas. Go for drinks but give food a miss.

An infectiously warm atmosphere, a delightfully rich selection of starters, mains, and desserts that are perfect for any locals looking to show friends from overseas the merits of "English cuisine". Wines and other drinks of a superb variety as well, dessert Ports included. 5/5.

We have our company Christmas Party here, lovely good, great service. Would recommend to all.

Definitely loved this place, so warm and the decoration is amazing.

Although i am fond of this Gastropub, i was put out of by being asked to leave to terrace for dining guests. I wouldn't have minded if it was busy, but it was half empty!

Great Gastropub, reasonable prices. The steaks are perfect. Directly on the riverside.

Thank you so much for making us feel welcome after travelling from Coventry for Sarah and Tom's wedding reception recently and after a 4 hour drive you made us tea and coffee which was very welcome. We enjoyed a brilliant evening to celebrate our daughters wedding to Tom and due to your efforts it was a tremendous success and we had a fabulous time and the day was made special by all of your hard working staff who couldn't do enough for us. Thank you again. Peter and Carole Fielding

Hidden gem in East London with amazing view of the Thames and O2. During the winter you can sit next to the fireplace and drink mulled wine to warm up your body. The place is a bit on the expensive side but worth a try!

We tried the Sunday roast which is really massive and that's ok given the price but I didn't think the taste was that good - parts of the chicken were not properly cooked. Service was great tho!

Thank you for the lovely tasting menu for new year's eve! Great location, service and atmosphere! Great job

Lovely Sunday roast with a view of the river. Staff were friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this place!

Amazing view to the river and staff service 5* always on point! They have big selection of cocktails and generous portions of the food.

We had a great Sunday roast. The bartenders Ivo&Kacper were making great drinks and giving best recommendations on food. Thank you and looking forward to come back!

Not that much of an ale variety but very friendly service, wonderful cuisine and right on Thames bank viewing O2

Love this pub! Great local pub food but also a gastropub menu that is pretty refined. Right next to the river with a view of the O2 right across the water, this place has a very authentic vibe (been there for almost 250 years!) while offering high quality food and drink. Highly recommend for a work or family meal.

Decent pub. Prob a go to spot in the area. Good views on the river. U have to book the outside part of it gonna have an event there.

Lost our server for a bit, but views, food quality and overall service are excellent. Great Sunday roast.

Great location, average food. Terrible service. Recommend to avoid.

Fab pub, right on the river. Had lunch here outside and thought it was excellent

Amazing food, great views, fantastic staff. Great for group meals and love their pragmatic cab service from the wharf. Great touches all across.

Must be one of the best riverside dining experiences in London. Spectacular view, delicious food, very cosy setting, and courteous staff. Highly recommended.

Everything was good except the manager... change him immediately.... he ruined our experience!

Sunday lunch...yep sorted. Good plate n fine people

Extremely salty food...lazy service (including forgetting parts of the order)...and to top it all off they charged us for an extra bottle of wine, which we didn't even order! The only saving grace is the riverside view, and there are far more stunning views elsewhere in London.

I never normally write reviews but we were rudely treated when we brought the receipt issue up with the staff that I couldn't not write one.
HIGHLY DO NOT recommend!

If I could give -1 star I would. Just the worst place ever. Been told from the start we have to leave by certain time. Waitresses (yes, that s plural) cannot speak a word of English. Roast potatoes reheated, Yorkshire pudding reheated and burnt, red cabbage microwaved and soggy and don t get me started on roast beef. The worst experience ever! Not once anyone asked us about the food or whether we re happy with it or the service. Nobody asked about needing more drinks and we are still here waiting for our bill.

Nice place. Beers reasonable, food is pricey but worth it and JP the GM is as cool as they come.

Nice view to the river. Nice decoration inside the pub. Wide beer selection.

Lovely wee pub by the Thames. Lovely views and excellent drinks

Incredible roast, friendly staff and the beer was beautifully kept!

The patio view was nice, the food was underseasoned and uninspired. I went at an off time (~4 on a Saturday) so it's a bit on me, but I feel it needs a bit of oomph, if I'm honest. I had the cod, which was wrapped in pancetta and served with a side of broccolini and rice. The pancetta was limp and would have been enhanced by a hard sear. The side was saved by some vibrant basil sprigs but could have been so much more. Salt and pepper helped the whole experience go more smoothly

Fantastic venue for 70th birthday bash. Gorgeous room overlooking the river, great food. All in all contributed to a fantastic day

Nice location but not spectacular. Also value for money isn t that great in terms of the quality of product and service you get in return. Been to far better places in and around the area.

Exceptionally cosy, good wine, however at a tangible cost...

Very tasty ales and good selection of other drinks. Nice, warm and welcoming fire and great views over the river.

Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and delicious food. Wish we had the time to visit a second time during our trip.
