| Always a pleasant place to visit from my POV Yes, the staff don't always have perfect English but the lagers, wines and beers have always been up to standard and the food (especially the 8oz homemade burger) always extremely good pub-food quality. Great outdoor area, even worth it on colder nights - and they'll keep serving as long as you keep drinking. A local favourite. RiseburyCrisis - 1 Dec 2009 12:50 |
| Largish pub hidden away at the end of a cul de sac quite close to Guys Hospital and London Bridge Station. Quite imposing externally, despite the inevitable plain glass windows and green blinds, the pub dates back to 1897 as evidenced high up in the external plasterwork. Plenty of dark wood and a burgundy ceiling give a reasonably traditional feel, but there's little specific of note decor-wise and it did seem rather dark and gloomy on my recent early evening visit, as though they were trying to save on the electricity bill. A brighter conservatory style extension to the left houses a dartboard and there's also a dartboard in an area to the right of the main bar. Notably, both dartboards were in use during my visit. The pub is listed in the 2010 GBG and is clearly proud of its beer, as evidenced by several beer related framed certificates by the bar counter. The 3 pumps were serving Brakspears, London Pride ( which I gather are the regular beers ) plus Hobgoblin. A blackboard by the bar lists future guests, which included Hogs Back TEA. The Brakspears tasted past its best, but the London Pride was OK. The pub is listed in the 2010 GBG, but comments on this site suggest the beer quality is unreliable. There's an enterprising food menu, featuring several unusual dishes. I don't normally comment on bar staff in London pubs, on the basis that, unless it's the guv'nor, you're unlikely to find them still there on your next visit, but the young lady ( Mongolian ?) who served me came up well short in the people-skills department. There's better pubs than this in the immediate vicinity of London Bridge station and I'm not presently convinced this one is worth the slightly longer walk. JohnBonser - 4 Nov 2009 13:22 |
| Tucked away from the usual suspects, the pub was very quiet on a Tuesday p.m. visit, which made the exceptional quality of the Holts Bitter (yes Holts) all the more remarkable, albeit at £3. Only the beer quality would persuade me to return, but deserves it's moment in the Beer Guide sun. mtaylor40 - 3 Nov 2009 18:59 |
| Not a pleasant pub. Service was frankly poor and the prices dissapointingly high. Card machine wouldn't work so i had to run to london bridge just to pay for a round. Won't be returning chishkebab - 28 Jul 2009 01:51 |
| Beer quality only average and the (few) punters who were there created quite an intimidating atmosphere. Service lacking any welcome. Disappointing as this could be a good pub, if people were a bit friendlier. Maybe I just visited at a bad time. beerlover666 - 27 Jun 2009 22:24 |
