Tucked away at the leafier end of Great Dover Street, The Roebuck is a stunning Victorian pub and one of Borough's best kept secrets, independently owned and loved by locals.

The Roebuck offers a wide selection of beers and ales from around the world, a freshly prepared seasonal menu, full of locally sourced produce and an easy going, friendly atmosphere.

The head chef has strong ties to a small farm in Sussex, and often visits to check on produce to create the constantly changing menu. One of the highlights on the menu is their renowned Sunday roast, with options such as 28 day aged Dexter beef rump, or butternut squash & mushroom wellington as a vegan option, all served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables and gravy.

Nestled in Borough, The Roebuck is just a short walk from Borough Underground Station, and just 10-minutes from both Elephant & Castle and London Bridge.

    Superb!!!! Beautiful building. Lovely interiors. Staff were all amazing. The welcome was so kind and warm. Sunday lunch was extraordinarily wonderful! Oh wow! Delicious. Very generous plates. Hearty dishes. Great wines and cocktails. This place really delivered. We loved being there. We were so impressed and ever so grateful to the whole team. Thank you. You don’t have to spend as much as we did. We enjoyed two bottles of wine and cocktails too as it was a special gathering. If one enjoyed a glass of wine or beer or soft drinks, the final bill would be significantly lower. This is a fairly priced pub.

    I was here with my friends that have been living in London for many years. Perfect place, quite, nice and peaceful. The location is great and very typical, we sat outside since it was a beautiful day and it was simply perfect. We had some beers, hamburgers and other typical dishes, all very good. Hope to come back next time in London!

    This is a late review, having attended the pub in April. The Roebuck is an old pub that has renovated its image throughout the years. At present, it caters for a youngish, professional clientele. A large selection of beers and spirits is de rigeur, with painting on the wall for sale and modernist music loud but not overbearing. The decor is traditional and the toilets, for a pub, not too dirty. The staff is friendly, albeit quite busy. The menu is reasonably varied, with a good choice of starters and some vegan choices, unfortunately not in the desserts' selection. We had the "Crispy Polenta Croquettes, Wholegrain Mustard Mayonnaise", a surprisingly testy appetizer and the Moving Mountains Vegan Burger, Chips. The burgers were decent, but the chips and the humongous onion rings were nearly burned and scarcely edible. All in all, a decent place to spend an evening in a proper English pub.
