large pub in a great location, beer was terrible,didn't try food as it looked too expensive for what I saw on peoples plates. Such a shame a pub can have a location like this but be so poor, just to finalise its utter crapdom it had one of the guys selling stuff and wanting you to give him a quid in the loos. St Katherines dock always worth a visit on a sunny day though.

After a 20 mile cycle ride was really looking forward to lunch.
Can you beleive the burgers we ordered arrived before the person ordering had returned from the bar. Chips were cold burger that we paid extra to have cheese in had no cheese. server spoke no English.

Too tired after bike ride to complain.
Caters for tourists.
Saw a Wetherspoon on way to Aldgate will def go there next time.
Such a shame that a great looking pub is so bad.

No problem with the drinks but you cant go wrong with a bottle of Bulmers!

Been visiting this pub for over 20 years..... the pizza on the second floor was always good but visited Monday and the prices were hiked....... a medium pizza for 2 was £25, add a couple of starters and a bottle of wine and you are up to £50, when I visited a month or so ago the pizza was £18 so I do not see any justification In this rise In price..... will pop in for a drink but will not eat..... maybe the tourists are happy to pay But I am not....

£7 for two of the worst pints of Pride my wife and I have ever had. The fact we left beer unfinished on the table and retreated to a Wetherspoon is a fairly damning indictment of the place.
Given the location, always likely to be busy, but get the impression the ale drinker isn't this place's priority.

Been in the Grill on the second floor last week, it was my second time there. The first time I tought it was all a bit overpriced, but they have changed the menu and now it is definetly good value for money. The staff was very friendly, even went down and up a lot of stairs a few times whenever someone wants a real ale. Pint of Pride was £3.40, very good value for the area. Overall a good experience, would definitely go back.
