Fernando NunesSeptember 1, 2017Sausage and Mash, sea bass with octopus risotto, apple crumble with custard.
4 July: Drink on the spot where America began. There was almost certainly a pub on the site when the Pilgrim Fathers walked the quayside, though they may not have made use of it themselves.
Scott KenwardJune 8, 2014Always a popular choice for me though it's not always easy to get a seat (so popular!)
Russ GarrettSeptember 4, 2015Good old-school pub with a terrace overlooking the river. Decent selection of beers.
HISTORY UKFebruary 14, 2011The Mayflower, the ship that carried the Pilgrims to America in 1620, set sail from near this pub, and it also ended its days here. Timbers from the ship are said to have been used to build the pub.
Rômulo Melillo IIOctober 28, 2016The place of the area. I live in Bermondsey and go there every time I can.
This has to be the best pub I have ever been. And I have seen a few.
Mark KershawApril 19, 2014Pie and a pint Wednesday I'd amazing! Tenner for a pie and a pint on the river? Win!
Simon CheadleJanuary 3, 2016One of the most charming pubs in London. Don't come - you'll take my seat.
Pub quiz on Tuesday's but you'll need to make a reservation.
Andrew BennettOctober 13, 2012Come here. Great pub! Old school London boozer... Bit of a prog rock theme- Cosy decor, but it's a wifi and mobile signal black hole. Awful place to try and work from.
Sandra ArellanoSeptember 3, 2011The food at this place is more than just pub food...pretty gourmet food offerings with an amazing riverside view
Jonathan LeeJune 16, 2017Great location, good views of the river, good beers but extremely disappointing food.
Have the fish pie. Slight hints of thai green curry, if you like that sorta thing.
- Very old traditional pub, very cosy - but everything is expensive.

"The veranda is definitely worth a visit if you can get out there. Wonderful views across the Thames; decent beer too."

"A proper pub. Outdoor seating in lovely rear courtyard, and out front on now pedestrianised road. Inside feels like a real pub, with locals and everything."
