    Had lunch there. I had the bacon cheeseburger and the bacon was thick and well-cooked. My friend had the fish and chips. Both are definitely delicious. We had such friendly table service and were recommended the burger and fish and chips as the big sellers. Also told that everything else was good as well. Such a light and airy pub with a fantastic view across the river to St. Paul’s. And there is outdoor seating as well. Definitely recommend.

    Okay. I can't say enough. Excellent view, great food. But, the service was above and beyond. Considering I had no idea what to have, Lou Lou gave excellent suggestions on the drinks and the menu, which were even better than she said. Go here, enjoy London's water view, eat excellent fish n chips with peas and be thankful for the amazing life we all get to lead. Happy 2025 🎉

    It was a lovely lunch, with really nice cider and IPA. I was here with my best friend. The only thing if you order the coliflower soup it comes with sunflower oil. I’ll rather order it with out it. Overall I recommend this place. Nice nice view
