If you're in search of a genuine British London pub, rather than one of those upscale fusion food spots, this is a great place to mingle with both locals and newcomers. The bar staff were fantastic and made us feel right at home. 😜.

Dropped in on way to Wapping for lunch. Owner polishing brass front looked smart. 4 pint of Guiness later, very good, only people in cause early. Food menu looked good with thai options. Very friendly proper local pub.

Amazing food which comes from a variety of places from all over the world. Our group really enjoyed the Thai selection of foods is really fantastic and feels like it was made by people who have cooked Thai food all their lives.

I went here to get te fish-and-chips-and-beer-in-a-pub-experience. Brown pub, cool songs on the speakers. My 6th time in London and I decided it's time to try it out for the first time. Considering I hadn't had it before, I had nothing to compare it to, but it was good! Veggies could be warmer, however all together it was yummy. Staff was friendly and funny.
