great location and view of the city, beer a bit pricey, busy, we ordered the veg and meet platters which were ok, but again 'very pricey' and therefore not good value for money, on the plus side we didn't have to wait too long for the food. Good pub to meet up with friends, spent 9 hours in this pub, the last couple of hours were a blur.

A real overpriced tourist trap.

Went in here a few weeks back and rather enjoyed it. The place was rammed, and I dare say there were one or two tourists in there (in London...imagine!!!) But I have to say that the service was great and we didn't have to wait too long for our food at all. The pints of Special I had went down well and the food was very good. It didn't seem any more expensive than the other pubs we went to when we were in London. And while it's not one of the historical pubs it's a perfectly decent place for a pint by the river .

Ridiculous prices!

Great location but the visit was let down with very poor food and ridiculously priced Budweiser. The food (fish and chips, onion rings) was dripping with old cooking oil and around a quarter of the chips were black. Everyone makes mistakes but this was visible and they seem to go for the one-off market of tourists who would not come back - even if they wanted to. There was a high turnover of customers when we were there but the tables were left dirty for a long time even though there were loads of staff. The best bit was the price of a 300ml Budweiser bottle which was a eye watering £4.10. When asked why they were so expensive they blamed the brewers; good on you Fullers !!
In summary there are plenty of places to go for food in the area so don't waste your money here.
