This used to be one of our favorite places for beers and roast, but not anymore after yesterday's visit. We came with guests, and the experience was really disappointing. By the time we arrived (around 5 PM), the roast and pie were already sold out, which was understandable given the time. We ordered two servings of the duck hash, a steak, and a burger. After waiting for 50 minutes, the food finally arrived, but it was a letdown. The duck hash was dry and cold, the burger patty was burnt, and the steak was dry and just plain awful. When the waiter came to check if everything was okay, we mentioned the issues with the steak, but he didn’t seem to care. We were very disappointed. If the kitchen cannot function properly, it would be better to close it rather than serve food of such poor quality. I don’t recommend coming here on a Sunday afternoon. I’ve removed this place from my list of favorites.

Great historical pub with an abundance of atmosphere. Lots of charming features. Food was delicious, good choice of ales on offer. We had Dean looking after, he offered a great service, knowledgeable with the menu. Helpful and attentive. Thanks Dean for making our first trip a good memory - we will certainly be back... Lauren who also served us towards the end of the meal was polite and offered good customer service

Have been here many times. Great atmosphere in the evenings. Today we booked a table upstairs. Strange atmosphere as we arrived 15 minutes early for our table but had to wait 15 minutes before we were asked what we would like to drink. The toilets were closed so we had to walk downstairs and to the far end of the building to use the public bars toilet. Food was lovely. Staff were very friendly and would definitely use it again.

A historic inn. Been coming here for the odd drink for years. The inside has charm, as does the courtyard area. Always thronging with people until closing. Great in the summer. Good beers on tap. Our service was pretty rude this time round but otherwise it was a decent place. There is water available in jugs by the window. Lots of nice seating indoors. Some ropey toilets upstairs but nice walk to reach them.

Great building with lots of history, good food and drink with pleasant and attentive service. We dined in the Gallery room. Only points of improvement would be some flexibility especially during quieter times, for instance: if someone wants to dine on the terrace 2 feet away from the inside tables I don't see the harm but we were told it would not be table service on the terrace and it was 28° outside also if someone was to order a drink that's available downstairs but not in the small bar upstairs again surely to bring a specific drink upstairs wouldn't be too much trouble. Small issues but overall a lovely meal in a beautiful location

Located in a high density area, this restaurant doesn't disappoint. The access it is a bit weird as they are located on the first floor of some old building, but the space it is nice, arranged, and feels nice. The staff is well trained and friendly. The food is basic English food, roast, grill, baked, fried, but cooked quite well. Well done, chefs! If you order oysters and you like them as they are, remember to tell the waiter not to put chive oil. For me, it is messing up the taste. Overall, I recommend it. Book it in advance as the place it is quite crowded.

Always been a fan of Roast and recently tried their Market Menu. It was superb and such good value. Staff were attentive, food quality was great. Brought our toddler and baby and they were super accommodating. Space for stroller, high chair for toddler as well as Colouring book to keep her busy! Good selection of food choices and of course, great atmosphere and location. Tried their afternoon tea a few times before which is always great but their savoury food dishes are great too! Love the flower ceiling decor!

I wondered why this place only scores 4.0 on Google? Went there yesterday for a client lunch for 4. The place looks really good but feels slightly too relaxed and a touch chaotic and not as sharp as I would have thought. The food, however, was amazing, and 3 of us had the Roast beef, and we all agreed we had never had better. My friend who had the pork was equally impressed. The roast potatoes were crunchy and delicious and 10/10! The sides of creamed spinach, pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese were all plentiful and very tasty. However, I like lots of gravy, so I asked for an extra small jug. When i got the bill, I was amazed to see they had charged me £1 !! They added 15% (over £40) for service but an extra £1 for a little extra gravy. That is petty and left a sour taste to be honest and in my humble opinion is a big mistake!!.

What a beautiful spot in Borough Market! This was my first time trying beef Wellington, and it was absolutely one of the best dishes I’ve ever had—so delicious! The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were incredibly nice and attentive. A special shoutout to the Brazilian lady with dog tattoos on her arm—she was an absolute delight! She made us feel so special, bringing out a small cake and singing happy birthday to my boyfriend (of course, I joined in!). This thoughtful gesture truly warmed our hearts and made the day unforgettable. We’re so grateful for your wonderful hospitality!

Roast has been one of our favorites stops in London for over 15 years. Situated in the heart of Borough market, it is easy to get to and the food is fantastic. The Beef Wellington with truffled mash (pictured here) was absolutely delightful. I highly recommend you giving Roast a try!

Ate early before it started to get busy. Mrs. had Schnitzel and I had currywurst. Staples when we are in Germany. Food is definitely on par with what Munich has to offer. If I lived here, it would be a regular. Staff very friendly and helpful (especially when struggling to get mustard out of the bottle 😀 ) If you like German food, beer and ambience this is the place for you.

This review is just for the darts. There are around half a dozen boards, relatively new and good quality. Enough space between them all, too. You have to pay £10 to hire a lane for two hours, which is fair enough. And you have to leave your photo ID with them whilst you do!!! For this you get some chalk and three darts. But check out the photo, all three are different weights, the flight didn't fit properly on one and the shaft on two were damaged. So my top tip is: bring your own darts. Aside from that, the food and beer were good, and the staff friendly. There can be long queues at the bar when busy, which is why we didn't bother queuing up for more darts. The music was 80s pop, which I love, but there are only about fifteen songs on loop, so you get to sing along to the same songs multiple times.

Came here at 6:30 pm Friday night looking for classic German food and good pub vibes. First thoughts were that this felt like walking into underground bunker rather than a lively German tavern. There were 4 young staff members at the the bar, but none came up to us to explain how to order or whether to order at the bar. Service was unfriendly but food, beer and prices were excellent. Paprikawurst and bratwurst were my favorite. Pretzels were also pretty great. Would like to come back on a busier night or a night with better vibes.

Delicious food, especially the small sausage platter, with the sauerkraut. Very friendly service. We enjoyed the quiet afternoon atmosphere, before the evening rush, and after the crowds of Borough Market.

A banking hall pub in a prime location. We'll modernised with retained character. This large pub sits on the south side of London Bridge at the gateway to Borough Market. The large banking hall retains a classic high lattice beamed ceiling on slender & decorative pillars, over large square windows. Modern chandeliers hang over a vintage herringbone wood floor, with plenty of low & high tables. A mezzanine drinking, dining space is atop a modern, classic styled staircase. The modern bar recognises the banking heritage in drawers & lock box design. There's a great selection of beers on draught for a lively well mixed crowd. Decoration is smart & thoughtful to compliment the heritage, with a fine collection of prints. This is a reliable, trustworthy, stable timeless classic drinking hall for in & out of Borough Market or on & off London Bridge.

Place with a pretty ambience, like its accessibility (just across the train station). But the food, I think I’ve had much tastier versions for slightly lesser price. But given its location- can’t complain. Overall a pretty decent experience!

One of my favourite pubs…atmosphere, service, location - and the best pies ever!!! I always recommend the pies to my friends and they absolutely agree. Last night was a reunion with one of our friends and we went back to the place where we often gather so it was brilliant evening. And we had superb, funny and just exceptionally took care of us, Paolo!!!!!!!! … oh try the marmite roast potatoes- to die for!

Everything was amazing from start to finish. The staff provided impeccable service and checked on us every few minutes. We had the peppers with cheese, octopus, and grilled broccoli and cauliflower dishes. All were fantastic. We finished the mezcal cocktail too quickly because it was so good and refreshing. We then switched to a jug of red Sangria which was very well balanced and not too sweet. I highly recommend and will come back again

I came this afternoon with my partner and we had a lovely date thanks to Cristina and Pablo who served us. Also, we went to the bar and asked for cocktail recommendations and Kyle made the best drinks we ever could ask for, for not talking how great Josh host us in the entrance. We really had an amazing time and cannot wait to come back to Brindisa. I 100% recommend this place if you want to spend a lovely time with your friends, partner and family!

Located in the heart of the Borough Market, Brindisa tapas are really good. We ordered about 3 per person and they come out as they are ready. Ruth was our server and she was excellent - attentive and responsive. We sat outdoors at the covered tables.

Good food but big door wide open. In winter, it is eating in a fridge... Will not come back in autumn or winter. I said it was very cold to the management but it seems it was my problem.... People were keeping their coats and it was ~10C+ degrees that day... It is far from a restaurant feeling...if you want to be indoors but have the feeling to eat outside, it is the place to be...

Nice steak restaurant in Borough Market. Great food with a relaxed service. Good quality steak £35 for rib eye. Fries not very good but mushrooms great. Average pate to start.
Richard Palmer - 3 months ago

Googled steak places in borough market and this one came up. Couldn't complain about the prices, which were very reasonable along with the portion sizes. My steak was cooked to order. I was able to be seated and accommodated without any fuss and my drinks order was completed in a prompt fashion. Waiter uniforms were not matching and didn't understand wearing trainers because it was a nice restaurant and just felt put of sync with the decor..small but minor thing for me but didn't overly impinge on my whole enjoyment of what a nice meal and experience I had. Would highly recommend and would return again.

Lovely food, however the waiter kept getting our order wrong as he tried to remember it rather than write it down each time. Messed up our drinks order several times, he was always apologetic however it did become annoying. Party of seven and the bill was over £300, so rather pricey too. Food was excellent though.

A good place to eat. I asked for a medium rare steak, and it was a little over....but not enough to complain about! The restaurant catered well for our group of eleven, and everyone had a thoroughly good time. The staff were great, so all in all a really good experience.

The Anchor Bankside in London is a fantastic riverside pub located along the Thames. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, the venue offers a beautiful view of the river and the iconic London skyline. The exterior of the building is especially striking, with its classic charm adding to the welcoming atmosphere. We visited during after-work hours, so it was quite crowded, but thankfully we managed to find a spot. Despite the busy crowd, I really enjoyed the experience—sitting by the river was peaceful and the setting was lovely. The outdoor service can be slow, and the prices are on the higher side, but the atmosphere made it worthwhile. On chillier evenings, be sure to dress warmly, as there are no outdoor heaters. Overall, The Anchor Bankside is a great spot for relaxing by the river, enjoying the view, and having a drink after a long day. Despite a few minor inconveniences, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it.

A Greene King pub and might be the best I've been to! Great outdoor seating and greater inside! This old building is really sensational, with different rooms to match different moods. You can find your typical Greene King food and drinks menu here. If you're nearby looking for a pit stop or you want to experience a unique pub, this a place you should try!

With over 800 years of history, fantastic meals, a wonderfully welcoming team, and an incredibly spacious interior, Anchor Bankside is one of our favorite pubs in London. We’ve had many amazing memories here - enjoying a pint outside and the delicious Sunday Roast! The Sirloin of Beef Sunday Roast is outstanding. The cheesy cauliflower is delicious. The gravy is legendary. It’s practically its own food group. We highly recommend visiting when they open on Sundays (at 11am) since there is a ton of space and 0 crowds. Thank you to the amazing team at Anchor Bankside! The pub is beautiful and the food is delicious. We will definitely be back again!

Nice pub with friendly staff. Located near to the Tate modern and Shakespeare's globe. They have a good selection of beers, wine and spirits. Should you want something to eat they also serve a good selection of food and snacks. Sadly the toilets are not so great. The awful smell before you enter them is not great and the toilet I had to use the lock was broken

Woefully understaffed. Food was AMAZING! But was a real hassle to get it. Ordered at the bar, and was told the table we were on was reserved (no sign) and they couldn’t process the order until we found one that wasn’t (no sign…) so after going up two floors we found a staff member who was like “yeah, just anywhere without a reserved sign” 🤦‍♀️ Anyway, finally found another table and tried to order but there was no table number. Wandered around the very busy place just trying to find one with a number and hoping that no reserved sign actually meant it wasn’t reserved. Finally found one and ordered and the people next to us were waiting for table service they were told they would get when they booked in, but that’s apparently not a thing, so they were also pretty disgruntled… The table opposite has a reserved sign for 4pm on it. It is now 7:30pm… The service we did get was not bad, but very rushed. We have only seen the server who gave us our food the entire time we’ve been here. Seems this place is just woefully understaffed, which is unfortunate because the food is actually incredible! Would recommend, but go when they hire more staff for prime time during a London Festival rather than less…

Joined this pub on a Friday evening for Davy's Wine school as a Virgin experience. Good wines with the informative session that Ollie delivered. Didn't try the food so will visit again for sure. Lovely staff and atmosphere.

Beneath the grand arches of London Bridge, lies The Mug House pub – it's a portal to a bygone era. Stepping inside is like stepping back in time, with its oak-panelled walls, old furniture, and antique curios adorning every corner. The warm candlelight and low hum of conversation create an atmosphere that's both inviting and intimate. The Mug House boasts a rich history dating back to the 18th century, and it oozes charm from every brick. The menu at The Mug House is a celebration of classic British fare, with hearty dishes like bangers and mash, roast beef, and fish and chips gracing the pages. Whether you're looking for a cosy corner to curl up with a good book, a lively atmosphere for drinks with friends, or a hearty meal, The Mug House has something for everyone. It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of London and unwind in a truly unique and historic setting.

A wine bar hidden within the southside structure of London bridge. One of the Davey's wine bar group. A small maze of passages with plenty of room. Good beer from a fairly small selection. However, plenty of wines, the point of the place and a good food offering available. Staff are friendly and helpful. The actual bar is tiny so some consideration for others is appreciated. A fine place to have a drink.

This pub is absolutely amazing! I booked a table here because of the convenient location, never having been here before I wasn't sure what to expect. The pub entrance is hidden right under the bridge and is much larger than I had anticipated. It has a gorgeous, traditional atmosphere with wooden decor and stone plate flooring. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food was simply stunning. Very well presented and great quality. Especially their salted caramel panna cotta with pistachio brittle was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back to this one, and absolutely recommend a visit. Do book a table if you want to guarantee a space, though.
