Just spent New Year's Eve here are what a dismal experience. I don't know what the problem is with this place, just very badlly run. Avoid it like the plague!
Any brewery worth its salt would make this the jewel in its crown. Fantastic location, historic building, garden. Instead it is run like a student union bar.
To be fair the New Year 'nite' was cheap, and we soon found out why. The 'DJ' insisted on playing crap music, about as suitable for the occasion as a dose of the clap. He insisted on playing 'his choice' and presumably, for the bunch of dodgy cronies he brought along with him. The 'food' was inedible.
Half the punters left before the midnight hour. These were affluent customers who would have spent A LOT OF CASH. Well done brwery... everyone was was a loser!!!

This is worth coming to even just for the river view, but it is also a nice, spacious pub and the food is good. The garden, last time I was in it during the summer, was surprisingly shabby though. The last couple of times I've been here the toilets have not been great.

Visited again yesterday. Excellent service and well kept cask ales (although there only seemed to be two on now, were four on my last post in June last year).
The location with river views is possibly the best in London. The food was good and reasonably priced, although the portions seemed a lot smaller than I remembered.
Worth a special visit. Be even easier to get to when Wapping Station reopens!

Wonderful pub, the Doom Bar was on top form! Just a little more effort on sweeping up the outside area would be good.

What a gem we found today. The Prospect of Whitby is in a perfect location on the river with fantastic views of London. It serves quality food well presented and cooked to perfection... and not at London prices. You almost feel you are aboard ship with the sound of the water and the boats passing by. We only went in for a quick lunch but managed to stay till 5 p.m. We will be back very soon PLEASE do not change a THING.
