I've been to this place in August and also last May. Both times I recognized it as a historic place, London's oldest serving pub! The location, along the Thames is awesome and it has been serving really great fish and chips for years! The multi-levels and multiple entry/exits make it a bit unclear where to go, what's open and what's... More

We were out for a walk and thought a stop for a quick bite and a drink would be great. Waited 15 minutes just to be served, there was only 3 people in the queue so god knows why it took that long! After ordering the food we had to wait another 45 minutes for it to arrive, and when... More

Myself and my fiancé ate at this bar/restaurant today. We popped in for a quick lunch and the food was okay. Although it is probably a bit pricey for what you get and there are a number of better options nearby with nicer food that are more reasonable.

Made a pit stop here for a pint on our walk down the bank of the Thames. Decent enough, restful. Good beer selection. More

Sounded like a real prat so well done mate, have a one star review of your rubbish little pub. If this is an... More

Put a tissue on it and it got stuck to the table. According to my friend, the Ladies' facilities were dirty and smelly. I can't say... More

On our quest to visit the historic pubs, this one was a gem. Great location on the South Bank of the Thames, it is where Samuel Pepys watched the great fire of London. The food was very good – the best fish and chips I had on the trip-and the steak and ale pie was also good. The menu included... More

The fish and chips was nice, peas were great, pints are good and OK priced. More

As all other reviewers have said, the location of this historic pub is fantastic. Sitting by the Thames with a lively crowd is a great way to spend an evening. However, the food and service are a little lacking. We attempted to eat here twice during our summer trip, but only succeeded in finding a clear table once. Though we... More
