Went for the claim of "top notch" food mentioned by another reviewer.
Sunday Roast was the order of the day. Service was reasonably swift, though it was quiet when we ate.
We found the portions small (two small roast potatoes,one small yorkshire pud, some mashy carrot thing, lacklustre cabbage, and parnsip chips). The vegetables barely warm - probably been sitting on the plate for a while. And the meat (some had roast beef, some chicken) over cooked and a bit fatty. There was plenty of gravy though, and a decent selection of sauces.
It wasn't overly expensive which was OK, but it doesn't cost anything to keep the veggies hot, or put an extra potato on the plate.
Staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was nice, but as decent Sunday roasts go, this place isn't one of the best.

I'm slightly biased because I live a whopping 50ft away from the front door but nonetheless, it's a great pub.
The beer is great; decent lagers (and despite it being my favourite lager, it's nice to see somewhere that doesn't feel the need to sell the obligatory Stella) and cracking ales. The Ubu and wheat beers are really very good.
The food is top notch; tasty, decent-sized portions (althought I wish they did a proper old-school pie) and they have a pretty good lunch menu for a fiver.
The staff are very nice, have always got time for a chat, and you feel like they remember you without you having to go twice a week for a decade.
The decor is somewhere between traditional and quirky; big old Chesterfield sofas (great when it's cold outside and you've got a book to read) and modern artwork which I believe you can buy.
All round good pub, tucked away in a calm little pocket of Borough.

Decided to try a new (fairly) local pub so read a few SE1 pub reviews and this place caught my eye.
I agree with the people who posted positive comments for this place. The place had a good atmosphere, good decor, friendly staff and customers alike. We did not eat but the beer was good and the food coming past us all looked nice so will be back again.

Opposite student halls i literally lived in this pub for 9 months. Friendly staff, good drinks, amazing sunday roast and decent background music. Always a chilled place to hang out and providing boardgames to wile away the hours is always appricated.

Top pub. Always a fun atmosphere all nights of the week (probably due to proximity to various student halls...), great quiz (though I think it's not on during the summer), good choice of beers/wine and pretty good food. Nice decor too.
Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

One of my favourite bars in London. Great atmosphere, good food and really friendly service. Good during the day as well as the evening. Smashing burgers!

A great little pub to spend an evening in.
A good selection of drinks and reasonably priced too.
Stop in on a tuesday for the quiz night. which is defiantely worth taking part in.

not sure about the "best presented pub in London", but definately well worth a visit. I've never had a bad experience here, they've got the atmosphere just right - it all very affable. students, trendies, over 40's and regulars, all creating a cool mix of people. Sunday Roasts are definately worth a go.

This has to be one of the best presented pubs in London. And... the staff are really nice and friendly and the food's great, especially the Sunday roasts.

So much nicer under the new management. Food is excellent and staff friendly.

Since this pub has been taken over by new young management and refurbished, it is now a great bar to come for a drink and the menu they offer is especially good.
A very vibrant and relax bar, well worth visiting. And next to a nursing halls of residence, never a bad thing!
