Booked a large group of friends here for lunch after an event. Pre-ordered everything and was able to supplement during the meal (extra wine!) when needed. Excellent service. The sharing platters were just the job. A shame the ploughman’s one has been discontinued but the others were very suitable especially for those with dietary needs. Thank you!

Great for groups!

Had a work event here and the staff were incredible, the food was great, and the views were amazing. Highly recommend.

Work event

The location is something I never tire of – stunning views of St Pauls over the river, just fantastic. It’s easy to book, the service is good and the food is good and given its location both food and drink are reasonably priced too.

Unbeatable Location

We met up with an old friend here intending to visit the Tate. Having had a drink we decided to stay for lunch first. The three of us had a delicious lunch accompanied by wine. Having spent three hours there, we eventually made it to the Tate! We sat outsdide with a view over the Thames. Excellent location.

Lovely location to meet friends and enjoy a meal.

One of my favourite pubs in London. You can always get a good meal here and it’s spacious. The deal breaker, though is that it backs onto the Thames, with panoramic views of St Paul’s Cathedral. Great in the summer!
