A beautiful location in St Katherine's Dock and most people can't believe this place exists when they first go there. A really nice pub when it's not too busy. The beer is expensive but not too bad - Expect £3.50+ for a Guinness. Alas the outside closes at 9pm I believe and that's what the bouncers are for. People live round there and the marina is peaceful so you can't really complain.

The bar service has improved no end over the last few years and the toilets always smell of pilchards...

Another pub visited on Sunday lunch. Went up to the restraurant and ordered the steak while my missus had some pasta. The waiter service really was excellent, the lager very palatable and the bottle of red wine went down too quickly. The food was faultless. Personally, I thought it was good value for money when you consider location and it's really hard to find something to fault on this particular visit.

This place is busy, has always been with the office crowd after work - but we had a great fish & chip supper (aboou 7 quid each) last week, great service. Oh and a pint of carling was only £2.95!!

Interesting looking from the outside, but inside it's the usual overpriced London tourist trap. Bombardier on draught was at least drinkable, which gets it an extra point.

Large pub / restaurant spread over 3 floors close by St Katharines dock. Looks inviting from the outside, but inside was a major disappointment last Friday evening - oppressively loud music and Fullers London Pride a whopping £ 3.10p per pint ( they even give you a receipt just to rub it in )

On the evening of my visit, the pub was packed with what seemed to be a mixture of the post work office crowd and foreign tourists presumably staying in one of the nearby hotels or either visiting Tower Bridge.

Even allowing for the fact that it was early Friday evening, quite why the pub management felt it necessary to have a couple of typical hard -looking black-coated heavies on the door defeats me.

I won't be rushing back to this one
