| Wonderful pub. Really atmospheric with great views. It is a gastro pub, but the real ales (Adnams, Hophead and Scottish flyer) were really well kept. Cosy fires as well for the winter nights. Food is expensive, but was top quality. leeborders - 9 Nov 2011 13:46 |
| Nice beer, great interior almost too nice to be a pub - the eating area feels like a restaurant (and the type of restaurant that's too expensive for my pocket). Had a nice real ale - one I had'nt heard of before and sat on the terrace looking at the Millennium Dome and the Thames. Did encounter some slight difficulty communicating with some foreign bar staff. A good place but not entirely my cup of tea. Trinker - 20 Jul 2011 11:07 |
| This Pub looks just like the O2. lionbaz - 2 Jun 2011 18:46 |
| The pub has more quality about it than any other pub in the vicinity, and some really interesting history. Drinks and food are fairly expensive, but a visit here is enjoyable if you're leaning towards a more relaxing evening, rather than wild, especially if spent supping a pint on the decking, watching the boats go by. Can be a little tricky to get served quickly but I've never felt any bad atmosphere in the staff or crowd. It doesn't have a high footfall, so it's a good little gem to know about. joeytwoscoops - 30 May 2011 21:12 |
| Attractive riverside pub with great views of the Dome right opposite accross the Thames. It is approached down a small residential side road off Preston's Road and I was amused to see that the pub sign has been built complete with a "shell hole" through it. On entering, the bar is right in front of you, with a resturant area to the left and a more pubby area to your right. Following the bar round to the right is another small serving area in a room with stunning views of passing river traffic and is dominated by an large wooden barrel, with the wall festooned with old flintlock pistols and muskets. To the left of this bar is a snug area with wood panelling and leather sofas giving a luxurious feel. Passing through double doors you emerge onto a timber riverside terrace which would be a tremendous place to sit in the summer. Unfortunatly on Saturday afternoon the wind was bloody freezing! We stuck it out for about half a pint though, seeing a cormorant catch a fish and three drakes chasing a relutant looking female. To the right of the pub is a barbeque area. Upstairs is a function room reached by an ancient spiral staircase, complete with spyhole to look out for Revenue officers. A plaque out on the terrace tells us the Lord Nelson and Emma Hamilton used to meet for trysts upstairs. Ales on tap were Adnam's - Bitter, Broardside and, unusually, Southwold Mild, which was excellent. Kegs included Symonds Founders Reserve Cider, Amstel and Bitberger lagers. Prices were a bit steep, to be expected in a place like this and I think the locals can afford it! Service was calmly efficient from some rather pretty young barmaids. There is a resturant menu, a bar snack menu and a Sunday roast menu. All look really interesting and the people in the resurant section all seemed to enjoying their food. Two girls devouring cheese boards near the bar certainly had me salivating (i am very fond of cheese.) All in all a excellent destination for a summer's treat although friends have warned me that during the week it gets rammed with suits, not suprisng being almost in the shadow of Canary Warf. flashharry1965 - 12 Apr 2011 11:31 |
