About Southwark Tavern

Traditional pub with an oak-floored bar and exposed-brick basement dining room with vaulted alcoves.

Busy pub on the edge of Borough Market which retains its old Friary Meux tiled exterior. The downstairs bar is built on the site of the old debtors prison and the old cells now form cosy seating booths. Holds a weekly wine club and a quiz night.

    Lovely pub very close to Borough Market, great choice of beers, wines and cocktails. Great decor and atmosphere, with indoor and some outdoor areas. Didn't get food, but what I saw looked nice. It was a great pit stop before venturing into the market 😁

    A very bizarre Sunday roast experience. I think from the off it was all very interesting. Having to repeat a simple roast order 4 times before it has been attempted to put through the system to then looking baffled as to what a lager shandy is…. Which later had to be taken back and changed, as we had been poured an ale shandy :( I’d asked for no Yorkshire pudding and if it could be swapped for an extra roast potato instead to then find we had been charged for an entire portion of extra potatoes (not what I had asked) and the Yorkshire pudding was still brought with the order anyways. When…

    I recently visited Southwark Tavern and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. The menu offered a great variety of options, and everything we ordered was delicious. The highlight for me was the beautifully cooked fish and chips—crispy batter and perfectly flaky fish. The selection of craft beers was also impressive, complementing our meal perfectly. The pub's charming decor adds to its character, and it’s a great place for both casual…

    Good atmosphere, good team, bartender Ady is generally cool, he suggested what to choose for beer. Respect to the establishment and a cool place with a special vibe for spending time in a warm comfortable atmosphere with a pint of Peronni

    Lovely pub with a nice sharing roast option. The food was tasty and fresh, we have enjoyed variety of meat and vegetables, the gravy was tasty. It is mostly self service, ordering with QR code or at the bar. Atmosphere was a bit noisy and again you need to find a table by yourself etc. Main course plates should be provided, bread plates are too small. Attaching pictures for reference. Staff were friendly and helpful, thank you. Enjoy
