Great pub by the south bank with fantastic view of St Paul's. Worth a visit on a sunny day either sitting or standing outside, soaking the vibes by the Thames. Also, beautiful in the evening (both outdoors in summer and indoors in winter thanks to the large glass windows overlooking the Thames).

The strategic location of this pub is its best feature and super easy to book. Sunday roast sides were delicious but the gravy & roast slices were thin and shy on flavour. Sticky Toffee Pudding was a dry molasses cake with loads of sauce.

Staff are all amazing, helpful and friendly. The view is brilliant and service is speedy! I ordered the chicken wings and although the coating was nice, the meat of the wings were plain, and didn’t feel like they were marinated; which I feel is a missed opportunity. The Camembert was heavy on the ammonia which gave the rind a strong chemical taste, and although I didn’t mind it, my friends thought otherwise. All in all was a good experience could do with some touch ups on the food.

Nice clean and tidy. Friendly staff but no table service. We were sitting outside having a fantastic view over the river Thames in the evening. I didn't eat anything there so I only can comment on the lovely cocktails me and my friend had that night. Really tasty and for London a really good price for a cocktail.

Absolutely stunning!! We got here just the day they mentioned they changed the menu and although we weren’t there before, the food was just amazing! Beef was super tender and flavourful and potatoes were crispy and fully baked On layers with a nice smooth cream!!! We went with 2 pints, two mains (stews) and an entry (bread was crunchy warm and of good portion, not the typical toast). ( staff also asked ahead of time if we had any allergies) And of course the view was the cherry on top! Staff were so friendly and nice! If I were to live here I would bring everyone I know to visit! Worth every…
