| Great location in terms of the river view, typical (and thus good) Samuel Smith style interior and friendly locals, though my visit was ever so slightly let down by a lack of bar staff (the one barmaid was doing a sterling job), lengthy wait for food, and wailing children. Only small criticisms though and will definitely return. Dartitis - 23 Feb 2011 14:04 |
| It's been my local for a couple of years now and it's simply great. Everything you could want in a local (except for real ale, but you do get Sammy Smith's prices instead). Great in the summer for an outdoor beer or two. race_faster - 25 May 2010 13:25 |
| Nipped in yesterday on a walk for a swifty and was very impressed with what Sam Smiths have done to the place - having not been in for a while. The brewery's own Weiss Beer was excellent, but I was drinking this due to SS's usual lack of cask ale. My colleague was more than happy with his keg Old Brewery Bitter but it's just not to my taste.....please, please, please could we have the cask version more widely available in London ! Overall though certainly worth a visit if only for the excellent pricing policy - where else in central London can you get two pints for a fiver...... chippysupper - 12 May 2010 15:31 |
| Sorry it may seem i'm biased towards Sams pubs (which i'm not) but they do seem to have some of the most scenic and beautiful pubs within London. This is no exception being slap bang on the river (also on the opposite bank another Sams pub, the Captain Kidd) and is well enough away from the tourist hoardes for this not to be over busy. The new manager of the pub is friendly and the beers are well kept too. Watch out for those dividing doors in the front bar but the most scenic views are reserved for the back of the pub anyway.

| I agree with Zaphod on this one. This pub retains a lot of its original character, which is entirely consistent with how Sam Smith's looks after its estate. It has a superb location overhanging the river - in fact it's so close to the river that when there is a high tide, as there was this afternoon, the sun deck at the back gets very wet. If only they did a decent real ale it would be a superb pub. Even the handpump version of Old Brewery Bitter would be a quantum leap forward. RexRattus - 21 Sep 2009 19:01 |
