Hartley, Bermondseyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Main Course: Not bad. Ordered a burger, served on a posh plate, with seven (yes, seven) chips and a decent sized bed of rocket. The chips were enormous, though, so it looked like a reasonable portion. Also ordered an extra plate of 'vegetables', which was basically a plate of runner beans and a sprig of Asparagus (might have expected a little more variety). It was, however, quite edible, and filling.
Pudding: Sticky toffee pudding: quite small, served worryingly quickly, with a small portion of ice-cream. Not too bad.
Service: Friendly staff. Was a bit annoyed to see the 'non compulsory' 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill (this is a real pet hate of mine).
Building: Toilets were a little clean. Paid no attention to the two small fruit flies that were buzzing around a little bit. Good atmosphere - busy, music not too loud for a Thursday evening.
General: Worth a visit, but I don't think I'll be going back.

Tower Bridge Rd has changed so much in a decade - people actually visit now!
I visit the Hartley occasionally - very good roasts on Sunday - usuallly charming service and fairly unpretentious, even if it isnt a boozer anymore. Transformed into something pretty good.

Visited with a friend at lunchtime today. Brilliant food and a very relaxed atmosphere. The service very attentive without being pushy. Excellent value for money as well.

Lovely vibe to this pub. Great for lazy Sunday afternoons.

Have not eaten in here although the food looks good going out. All round a nice pub and I would describe it as harmless if a little boring. Beer was pretty good and the place is clean and bright.

Excellent gastropub. Quality food with friendly service. A diamond in the rough that is Tower Bridge Road.
