| Visited here one evening during a trip to London between Christmas and New Years. A lovely cosy little pub that was very friendly. I was surprised at the relatively low rating for this pub but from the other comments I gather that there has been a recent change of landlord. We didn't plan to eat here but saw the food that was being served on another table and we decided to go for it. We're glad we did as the food was superb. I had the Lamb burger and my wife had the fish and chips and they were both excellent and good value. I had a few pints of Titanic Iceberg which went down well and while it's not the cheapest place to drink it's a place we'd definitely go back to. I'd imagine due to it's riverside location it could get very busy in the summer. Lovely pub in a great historic location. RChappo - 4 Jan 2012 17:01 |
| Just returned from the US what a difference a new Landlord makes!! It's back to being a great pub. Yes the locals are going back but a bit pricey to drink there all the time. With all the pubs closing and The Ship getting a new and totaly useless Landlord this is a great improvement to the area. We will definatley be locals again! walkalot - 29 Dec 2011 17:56 |
| For a Greene King pub to serve Titanic Iceberg and Nethergate Umbel Ale in good condition is impressive - as was the Laphroaig Quarter Cask at the end of the meal. What price Abbot Reserve? meurglys_iv - 27 Dec 2011 16:12 |
| What a difference a new landlord and chef makes! The staff are really friendly, the atmosphere has completely changed and im sure the locals will be coming back in their droves, as soon as they find out its under new management. I visited this pub last Saturday afternoon for a quick drink and a bite to eat. Initially we sat on the jetty with a beautiful view over the Thames, but as it was high-tide, we decided to eat upstairs, as you can get a bit wet with if the boats go past. The food was very good, a friend and I both had the Wagyu beef burger, which id highly recommend. The Chef was lovely and you can tell he’s really passionate about his food, and really wants this place to work. At one point during the course of that very hot afternoon, free little tasters of Lemon Sorbet were given out to try and went down a treat in the blazing sunshine! I enjoyed drinking here, so much so, I decided to try out the Sunday lunch the following day with some friends, as the barman had said a band were playing there in the evening. Well, we came back, the Sunday lunch was fantastic, with 4 of the cheeses of the cheese menu to follow, a particular favourite was the Berkswell. All the while listening to the band play downstairs, who at one point managed to get a few of the locals to get up and sing. What a great atmosphere and such a welcome return to a pub that always deserved to be as great from the inside as it looked from the front. Dustyone - 7 Oct 2011 14:31 |
| Where the funk do I start??!! Stumbled upon this little gem by chance last week, and in my years on this amazing planet I have never been given such amazing service. My partner & I were welcomed on entry by a very cheerful chef, who turned out to be from the wonderful world of OZ (But with a very strong London accent quite strange). We ordered a pint of clear, crisp and bloody delicious London Glory, and a large glass of Argentinian chardonnay (not sure of vineyard), a little pricier than expected but after leaving the bar we experienced the amazing decking out back at near high tide and we agreed we would have paid double!!! our quick drink had turned into an evening!. We sat upstairs in the restaurant when the wind and moon said so (4 rounds later), I ordered a pistachio encrusted salmon fillet with strawberry & orange salad, i cannot express how outstanding this was for a really strange combination of ingredients especially as i ordered my salmon medium/rare!! my partner had seabass with chilli & ginger butter and she is still hounding me to get the recipe, we were served at our table by the jovial chef who informed us exactly where our fish was caught!! We both had been thoroughly fed and watered and decided on a cheese plate to finish us off, when our delights arrived we were informed by our incredibly attentive waitress that the chef was currently writing a cheese menu that would be available very soon!! A cheese menu in a pub?? What an amazing idea!! I rarely write reviews unless I am being paid to but I felt the need to on this occasion to hopefully introduce others to this cracking little haven on South East London!! will most certainly be back asap!! spicemag.com.au - 11 Sep 2011 01:22 |
