Ah well, as a newbie to this site, this is my first Fullers' review. And of the regular local (meaning wot you see a lot of in London - inc Shepherd Neame) brewers, is probably my favourite. So with that admission out of the way...

A decent sized pub under the rail bridge and on the river behind Cannon Street Station. Have not eaten here, but I notice the menu (which always sounds good) has the day's date on it, so presumably changes regularly (?). Or else its just to make the place sound pretty gastro-y.

Th usual range of Fullers' brews on + additionally - which I haven't seen anywhere - their IPA. So I duly had 3 pints' worth. It is a classic IPA - extra hoppy, so extra bitter in taste - well worth a try if you like that in a beer. Pretty well kept too.

Staff were attentive, and no problems getting served. Lunchtime crowd generally office workers, and not quite as dingy as the 'underneath the arches' position might make you think. A decent Fullers house.

Reasonable, but unremarkable Fullers pub by the river under Cannon Street arches. Lacking in atmosphere early yesterday evening, even allowing for the fact that it was a Monday.

London Pride was on good form at £ 2.80p.

Probably better in summer when you can sit outside and watch the river, which of course you cant do on a cold January dark evening

nothing stand outish about this pub , real ales freezing cold - as with so many Fullers pubs. Didnt try the food but its odd that if the cheeses/meats/pies are as enticing as they sound then surely Fullers would be singing the artisan origins from the wood beam rafters - so i suppose the grub actually comes from a generic catering supplier and subjected to a criminal price mark up.... A quiet pint is impossible as music blasts into every corner no matter how many punters there are. Disappointing.

A decent, busy pub with 5 Fuller's cask ales available on my recent visit. As well as the outside seating balcony, there is a conservatory (located directly under the railway bridge over the river) with views along the Thames.

Did not try the food although looking at the menu, would probably not have been my type of thing as I prefer straightforward, English bar meals!

Convenient for the station and worth a visit. Think average cask ale price was £2.80 per pint.
