Went there last night for a quick drink and will not be returning! Reason? The prices were daft: £3.24 for a pint of Bombadier, small glass of Coke for £1.55, Jack Daniels for £2.60 per shot and 85p for the dash of Coke (£6.05 for a large JD and Coke!!).
I don't know how these prices can be justified.

A tourist rap with over priced poor beer. We ordered food that took 40 minutes to arrive and was certainly not worth the wait. To be fair when I complained about the delay they did give us a free round. On the plus side it is in a great location.

It's my local, so I often use it. I think it's a brilliant location and the flower display is second to none. The beer is good and they are doing an unusual quiz called Twist with Dickens on September 1st. If enough people turn up they will do it on a regular basis.

I was invited to this pub because of a friends birthday, having never been before I had a look at some of the reviews on here and consequently went along with trepidation, I expected rubbish service and all the things that people complain of. Im not about to say that everyone was wrong but I was surprised, it wasn't as bad as I expected. The pub is in an amazing setting, and you obviously pay the prices for being in the dock, it was lovely enjoying a couple of cold ones sitting outside surrounded by the boats. I didn't eat here and in honesty I wouldn't come back because in spite of the views it is a tourist trap, my overall feeling of the place would be that it is what a visitor might expect a British pub to look like.

Tourist trap! Such a lovely looking place, that clearly survives on tourists. No-one with any sense would ever go back! We tried the pizza restaurant on level 1 and were very disspointed. The staff were rude and lazy, the place wasn't busy and there were 4 or 5 waiters but they moped around so slowly and left food sitting waiting to be served for so long that our pizza was cold. Would not return or recommend.
