Good pub terrible food! I visited the pub on the 2nd Jan this year. I love the location by the river and the beer is good. Unfortunately I have to agree with some other posts, the food is standard pub fare done incredibly badly.

I booked the Prospect of Whitby for one of those milestone birthdays on 18/9/2011 and invited family and friends from far and wide including Boston USA , Isle of Man and UK to a pub lunch. I was not expecting a gourmet meal but having booked a table I did expect to be advised where that table was on arrival and not to wait over 3 hours to complete a simple pub lunch. There was no organisation , grumpy staff , no one visibly in charge and the food took ages to arrive.We will never go back and have renamed the pub ' The Prospect of Starvation ' .Having complained politely in detail in writing I am still waiting for a letter of apology from the CEO of Spirit Pubs - the chain that owns it - signalling that they will take measures to improve.Even the CEO can't be bothered.it seems.

OK Taylor Walker pub backing out onto the river. Spitfire, Pride, Youngs and Woodfordes Wherry (£3.40).

Chalk up another one for the disapointed group. Being on of Londons oldest pubs I was keen to pay a visit. Finally got around to it this evening. I was hoping to step back in time a few hundered years on entering but found the redevelopers had got there first. Gone are all the original features only to be replaced by modern Olde Worlde Charm. Way too Disneyland for me. Won't be back.

Ignore my last posting, this was the Grapes further East. Felt too much like a restaurant, and noisy extract fan out back. Beer fine if expensive!
