The pub has a charming atmosphere with rustic decor, making it a great spot for drinks and socializing. The drink selection is good, offering local ales and craft cocktails. However, the food didn't meet my expectations. While they serve classic pub fare like fish and chips, the preparation was lacking—my fish was overcooked and the chips could have been crispier. Overall, it's a nice place for drinks, but I’d recommend looking elsewhere for a meal.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Very busy and crowded pub, we were lucky to find a free place, so reservations suggested 😀 It is 17th century historical pub, Southwark district. Interior looks very authentic and brings you back to history of London in 17-18 century

Been meaning to come for some times. Pros; visually very impressive. Love a historic pub. It is a beautiful place steeped in History. Pea soup was actually very pleasant; pick of the three food options we went for Cons; pricy for what it was. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised for quite a touristic place but I thought £4 for a half pint was on the steep side. The other pint I had was not a full pint. I suppose I could have complained about a short measure and got the full measure. Glad I've been but not sure I'd be in a hurry to return. Other historic pubs I've preferred. Service was okay, but not more than that. Not rude but not especially friendly. Didn't stay in the hotel so can't comment.

Awesome location to go if you want to be with people that are having fun. This location has a courtyard and gets really lively at night. Food was amazing with multiple bars surrounding the courtyard. They had a food truck there too. Definitely worth visiting and learning about it's history!

Huge pub in the in the London Bridge area next to the Borough market. From the street entrance you walk through and then you see the huge courtyard with tons of seating. Then there are bunch of indoor areas spread all over. We sat on the upstairs patio overlooking the courtyard, it was really nice. Order at the bar and then food will get to your table. I tried the George Inn Ale as well as the Timothy Taylors Ale. For food we tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The ales were great, the dessert was ok. It is nice to have a view of the Shard and the vibes of this establishment was really nice. Would come here again!

Had a lovely time at Roast, but there were a couple of small issues that held it back. Starters: The Scotch egg was a highlight—crispy on the outside with a perfectly runny yolk. The beetroot sauce added a sweet balance, and the fresh watercress brought a nice touch. Mains: • The Beef Wellington was excellent—tender beef, crisp pastry, and the truffle mash was smooth and packed with flavor. The gravy tied it all together beautifully. • The steak, however, was a letdown. It was chewy and not cooked medium-rare as requested, which was disappointing considering the price point. Sides: The cauliflower cheese was indulgent with a golden, crispy top, the roast potatoes were perfectly crispy outside and fluffy inside, and the Yorkshire puddings were huge and light—exactly what you’d expect from a proper roast. Ambience: The space is stunning, especially with the festive decorations like the ceiling of wrapped gifts. The large windows create a bright, inviting atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely meal. Service: The staff were professional, polite, and attentive, which really enhanced the experience. Price: It’s worth mentioning that everything is on the expensive side. While the quality of the food is mostly great, the steak falling short made the price feel a bit harder to justify. Overall: Roast is a beautiful place with great service and mostly excellent food, but for the price, I expected everything to be spot on. Perfect for a special occasion, but just be prepared to spend a little more.

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.

Great scotch eggs! Great roast dinner, staff very efficient and welcoming. And a nice touch for our anniversary with a little chocolate tart was much appreciated! Only complaint was too full for dessert!

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!

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.

This pub has been here for as long as I know, and it's always a nice place to grab a drink with friends 🙂. Perfect location for London Bridge and just around the corner from Borough Market👍, lots of space inside with plenty of seats/tables. Service is quick (even when busy) decent selection of Beer on tap 👍

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!

Tapas Brindisa at London Bridge is a fantastic spot for amazing Spanish food with exceptional service. We started with the tomato bruschetta, olives, and potatoes as appetizers. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I do wish the bruschetta was warm, but I believe it’s traditionally served cool. Either way, it was delicious! For our main dish, we shared the lamb shoulder (I can’t recall the exact name from the menu), and let me tell you—it was one of the best meats I’ve ever had in my life. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, it was truly unforgettable. If you go, don’t miss the lamb shoulder—it’s an absolute must-try! The highlight of our experience was the incredible staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, especially Mohamed, our waiter. He was extremely attentive and recommended the best dishes for us to try. He also suggested a fresh lemonade, and I’m so glad I went with his advice—it was out of this world! I highly recommend Tapas Brindisa. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

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!
Ruth Lara Vives - 5 months ago

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...

We visited the restaurant and tried the double burger and steak. While the burger wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, the overall experience was enjoyable. The steak was well-prepared, and the atmosphere was inviting. What stood out the most was the excellent service – attentive, friendly, and efficient. It made our visit worthwhile. I’d recommend this place for its great ambiance and outstanding service.

After a long and tiring journey in cold weather, we finally arrived at the restaurant. My initial impression was positive. The restaurant was large, and for a moment, I felt a sense of excitement, it seemed posh and sophisticated, exactly what one would expect from a high-end London establishment. However, this excitement quickly faded once we were shown to our table. We were seated in a cramped corner that felt more suited for a quick-service café than a premium steakhouse. The table was small, the chairs were uncomfortable, and the entire setup screamed “eat quickly and leave” rather than inviting us to relax and enjoy a fine meal. It was disheartening, to say the least. The seating arrangement was another let-down. The tables were packed so closely together that there was little room to move or speak without fear of being overheard by the neighbouring diners. It didn’t feel private or comfortable. My son and I joked that perhaps having a drink or two might help us forget the lack of privacy and ease our discomfort. Looking at the menu, I was still hopeful that the food might make up for the subpar atmosphere. I left the decision-making to my son but couldn’t help dreaming of a perfectly cooked steak served by professional, attentive waitstaff. Unfortunately, reality hit hard when the drinks arrived. We had ordered diet cokes, which the waiter placed on the table with all the finesse of a fast-food worker at a busy counter. It wasn’t what I expected from a supposed high-end establishment. The starters didn’t fare much better. I must mention, We were served dry and hard pita slices accompanied by a few coloured pepper strips, which felt cheap and uninspired. I kept my focus on the main course, hoping the steak would be the saving grace of the meal. Before the main course, I decided to freshen up and visit the restroom. This, too, was a disappointment. The toilets were located upstairs, accessible either by stairs or a lift, and were housed in what felt like a temporary container structure. They were small, basic, and resembled something you’d find at a pop-up event or a boot sale. It was shocking for a restaurant of this stature to have such inadequate facilities. In my opinion, toilets should have been located downstairs with proper structures, especially if the upstairs was designated for seating. When the steaks finally arrived, my initial optimism resurfaced but only briefly. I had ordered my steak well-done, and to their credit, it was cooked as requested. However, my son had opted for medium-rare, and his steak arrived with a large chunk of uncooked fat hanging off it. It was unappetizing and could easily have put anyone off their meal. The steaks were served with fries and a basic salad. My son had also ordered cooked mushrooms, which he had read glowing reviews about. Sadly, they turned out to be a huge let-down. The fries were served in a basket-style container, but they were thin, overcooked, and dry. Worse still, many of the potato slices were broken, as if they’d simply emptied the fryer’s leftovers into the basket. Honestly, if my wife had gone into the kitchen one Sunday morning, grabbed some frozen chips, mushrooms, and a steak from the freezer, and cooked us a meal, it would have been far superior to what we were served at this restaurant. And it would have cost a fraction of the price, my son paid approximately £60 per person for this meal, excluding alcohol which we did not have any. Overall, the experience was a massive disappointment. The service, ambiance, and food all failed to live up to the expectations one would have for a London steakhouse. It was a sobering reminder that dining in London isn’t always a luxury to envy. While I’m sure there are exceptional restaurants in the city, this wasn’t one of them. I’m grateful to have had this experience, as it has taught me to lower my expectations when it comes to dining in big cities. If you’re planning a special occasion or looking for an outstanding meal, my advice would be to do thorough research and perhaps look beyond the popular names.

The food here is very average. We started with chicken satay, which was tough and dry and served with a salad that was a bit past it's best . For a main I had salmon with new potatoes and french beans. It was ok, but very much the sort of thing you would cook at home; and probably wish you'd taken the veg out the pan a few minutes sooner. My partner had steak which was cooked well, but it hadn't been seasoned and was served on a cold plate which is never a good idea. We also got a plate with walnut salad. It was rather uninteresting. I just tried a walnut from it and again it didn''t taste very fresh. The star of the meal by a long way was a sticky toffee pudding which was light with just the right amount of sweetness. If every dish had been as good as this it'd be a very memorable meal. Unfortunately I ordered a rather dull sorbet served in an 80s style fluted glass with mismatched frozen fruits dropped on the top which I decided to avoid following the issue with the salad and nuts! I've added a photo of the drink I had, it looks like the Lime was prechopled some time ago as it is browned and discoloured around the edges. It fits with my concern about the potential lack of freshness of some of the ingredients.

What a great place . It’s central London and you need a great lunch , very “meat” centric , at a very reasonable price … come to Black and Blue ! Four of us arrived for lunch and we were not disappointed . The burgers were huge and well cooked , the staff were friendly and attentive , and the price was very reasonable ! I’d definitely be back !

We have dined here twice in a weeks time. Both meals were excellent. It's probably the best restaurant we have eaten in our 2 weeks of visiting London .

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.

Nice location near the riverside, beautiful authentic interior. Pub is quite big, a lot of place, however was very crowded and loud 😀 We really enjoyed the atmosphere of such an authentic English pub. Tasty fish and chips, apple cider was very good 👌
Zlatoslava Tkach - a week ago

The Anchor is a charming pub with classic English decor, and its location near Shakespeare’s Globe on Bankside is hard to beat. The interior truly captures the essence of a traditional English pub, which is definitely a highlight. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short. With free seating, we had to wander through several crowded floors to find a table, which was a bit of a hassle. Once seated, we discovered that you have to order at the bar and give your table number, which is written on a small plaque. The food was neither bad nor good—just average and easily forgettable. The biggest issue was the lack of service. When the food arrived, no napkins were provided, and getting them turned into quite an adventure, as no staff ever came around our area to check if everything was okay. It’s a nice spot for a drink due to its location and atmosphere, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for attentive service or a memorable meal.

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!

Great food, authentic atmosphere. Loved how much different beer they had and just the general vibe! 😁 Can get pretty busy but you have to order the food and drinks at the bar so there is almost no wait time. 😁

We only had drinks and some crisps because the drinks were so strong. They serve excellent Port wine. The place is very unusual, walking through the entrance you get a feeling that you are in a small country pub with all the rustic barrels but then you turn right and it goes on and on further inside. Lots of tables and seats

We hired The Mug House for a party of about 60 people on a Sunday afternoon. I can't recommend them highly enough! The atmosphere, the food and drink, the service were all fantastic and everyone really enjoyed the event. And given the generous flow of quality food and drink, it was good value. We'd certainly use it for future celebrations.
