RUDEST STAFF EVER...During pub closing time, one of the staff slammed the glass door in my friends face, leaving him in the garden without his jacket... my mate waited 40 minutes for an overpriced chicken burger whilst everyone else ate their meals and the waitress got in a mood when I asked for some mayonnaise with my chips which took 15 mins to arrive...
Went in November, wont be going there again. Shame as the location along with riverside is stunning.

popped in for some beers...staff were very pleasant, so either they're new or they've picked their socks up, viewing other comments below...another Nicholsons pub, but the selection of beers was good. Not too pricey considering the location. Being right on the Thames, if you can get the seating, it's worth sitting and looking at the passing traffic...however, being on the South Bank, you don't get much sun...would definitely visit again..

It’s such a pity that the staff of this lovely pub located on the bank of the Thames is so rude and unpleasant!
A friend of mine and I called in to have lunch after seeing a performance at The Globe, so it was after 3 p.m. We managed to find a table on the terrace and were going to enjoy a pleasant lunch enjoying the view of the riverside. I went to the bar since at that time waiters didn’t take orders. After waiting a quarter of an hour in the line I was queue-jumped by a guy just before my turn. The barman called Darren served him the beer, but I didn’t say a word avoiding confrontations. Then I started ordering.
To begin with, I asked the bartender to recommend me an English beer, but he served me an Italian one, since –as he explained- he hadn’t heard the part of “English” and the Italian was his recommendation. He didn’t want to serve me another pint since the Italian one was already put in the glasses. When I was going to ask for the meal he asked the number of the table, which I didn’t know and I told him I was going to check this. He replayed that he wasn’t going to wait for me because of the queue. I asked whether he could take my order when I’m back without making me wait all the line again, but he said no. I asked for a complaints book, and he answered that I had to wait till he attend all the people in the line. That Darren guy was unhelpful, rude and unpleasant all the time.
I went back to the table and find its number, it was put in a small dot on the corener of the table. It seemed to be a normal practice in English pubs, but we weren’t avare about this. Eventually my friend and I decided not to drink the Italian beer we paid for and to have lunch in another pub enjoying local food and beverages.

Fine location but actually not a particularly fine pub. Beer can be dicey, service is inconsistent.... it could do with upping its game but probably doesn't need to as it has a captive audience by the Thames.

Terenced sorrowfully shakes his head and backs away.

Last week I got screamed at by a member of staff and also the Duty Manager for daring to complain that a waitress had thrown my (full) glass of wine away. Without being too dramatic, I have never experienced such awful service. There are really no words. Such a shame as it's a lovely pub aesthetically with beautiful surroundings. Oh, and the food was dire also. AVOID!
