Frequently asked questions

We suggest having a minimum of 2 drinks per person to be ready on arrival. This helps everyone
get a drink as soon as they arrive and it guarantees your preferred drinks selection in advance.

For all larger parties dining we require a pre-order. Our wonderful booking queen (Lea) will happily provide you with full details during your booking process.

If you have booked a seated table for dining we can’t unfortunately guarantee a specific table due
to the need to be flexible with table allocations and spaces.

Blackfriars is right next door!

Sadly not. All payments must be made in advance, or on the day of your booking with us.

The majority of outside tables are available for walk-ins. However, we welcome booking enquiries from parties of 20 guests or over.

Our Food and Drinks Package

Nothing like a few of our mouth-watering sharing platters and a couple of ice-cold beer buckets to bring those party vibes. Upgrade your event and pre-order from our epic food and drinks packages, from boards to magnum-sized wines, bubbles and so much more.

What people say about us...

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 outside with a view over the Thames. Excellent location.

Lovely location to meet friends and enjoy a meal.

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

Work event

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!
