Visited here as the 5th pub on a friday night crawl

I must echo the last review and say what a great pub both internally and externally.

Busy when I went in, which with the long thin bar can be a bit annoying as people have to squeeze past for the toilets but for me it adds to the charm.

Good selection of ales which were very well kept. We should of had 1 beer here and moved on but it is a very appealing place so we stopped for 2.

Very nice friendly landlord, very attentive and obviously values strangers custom as he was happy to engage in a bit of banter while serving customers.

I can't rate this pub highly enough, The Town of Ramagate is a must visit.

Message to the landlord keep up the good work.

Great pub both inside and out- has a small terrace with a few straight across the river; you watch pleasure boats zoom past. It is in a nice part of Wapping - an easy walk from st Katherine's Dock.

Only two of the four real beers displayed were actually available - London Pride and Doombar. The LP was good. Quite expensive drinks but when coupled with the two for one luchtime meal offer it works out as good value.

Mixed reviews left me in a bit of a quandary when choosing a Wapping pub for a Father's Day lunch. Plumped for the Ramsgate in the end - and we weren't disappointed. A genuinely yummy pint of Doom Bar (Youngs, Pride, HPA also on offer) and a tasty carvery (pork the pick of the three meats on offer). Friendly landlord too.

Perhaps not the East End den of iniquity that it once was, and maybe better for a Sunday afternoon than last orders on a boozy Friday, but we left satisfied.

Ignore the last two comments, the noisy extract fan was the prospect of Whitby, which also felt much more like a restaurant. The score remains the same!

Lovely pub, good beer but knocked them down a point for the following: feels too much like a restaurant, the noise of the extract fan as you sit outside, and expensive beer.
