Wonderful pub at the borough market. Perfect place to get out of the london weather and get warm!!! Loved the atmosphere with all the colorful patrons. Stopped in for fish and chips and a Guinness. Everything was perfect. Highly Recommend!!!

Had an absolute blast here! The team accommodated us and even arranged the private function room for our workplace party despite the short notice. The service was great, the food was delicious,and it didn’t break the bank. Our group had an incredible time — played silly games, showed off our crazy dance moves, and just had such a great time overall. We’ll definitely be coming back for future events. Highly recommend — 10/10 vibes!

I understand that this pub is one of the oldest in London. Initially, we only went for a drink, but we ended up staying for fish and chips, which was a very pleasant surprise. The fish was tender and fresh, not greasy, and the chips were crispy and tasty. They have an excellent variety of gins, and the barman was extremely friendly and recommended a very good one. I also tried the mulled wine, which was pleasantly spiced.

The George Inn has always been a special place for me. While studying in the buildings around Borough, I often enjoyed spending time here, and it became a natural meeting point after long days of study. The historic courtyard, warm character and relaxed atmosphere make it one of those rare London pubs that feels genuinely authentic. Spending time there with my classmates and very close friends made it even more meaningful, and we still reminisce about those days with genuine warmth.

Popped in for a quick pint mid week evening. The place is old and getting drinks at the bar required some effort when it is packed, but the atmosphere is fantastic. Great space outside with giant screen. Fantastic vibe. Loved it.

I have been to Roast several times for afternoon tea and have always loved my experience. Staff is so kind and always makes the experience special. The food is excellent and beautiful, the teas are lovely, and the atmosphere is unmatched. It's a great way to enjoy borough market without the chaos the the crowds and cues. I always bring family and friends who visit London to Roast for an afternoon tea experience.

If you are looking for an incredible dinner, a great atmosphere, amazing decorations to get you into the Xmas feeling... Look no further! Hubby and I had a lovely dinner. Service was great all night. Views were amazing, food was incredible, the roast turkey with all of the trimmings was superb and to be honest, it will be so hard to make a better one at Xmas. I also had a Xmas cocktail called Santa's present and received a "little" gift from Santa (and Roast) that my main course was on the house, which was such a lovely surprise and left us speechless :) overall expensive as you expect from a top quality restaurant in an amazing location, but top quality, so I feel I can only recommend it. Thank you so much for making our evening so special. Xmas decorations are incredible!

We visited Roast in Borough Market for their special Halloween Afternoon Tea, and it was such a lovely experience! The atmosphere was elegant but warm, with great views over the market and just the right seasonal touch in the décor — festive without being over the top. The Halloween theme was really well thought out — from the spooky little pastries to the creative presentation. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better. The sandwiches were fresh and perfectly balanced, and the black, spooky scones came out warm with plenty of clotted cream and jam. The themed desserts were both fun and delicious — especially the chocolate spider and pumpkin tart! Service was friendly, always with a smile, polite and attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt special and relaxed. It’s a great twist on a classic afternoon tea, and perfect for the season. Would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something festive and quintessentially London in the heart of Borough Market. 👻🎃☕

I have not been to Borough market for a number of years but the highlight used to be Roast to Go where they happily gave you chopped up pork and crackling with apple sauce and no bun. Or with the bun if you wanted it. I was crushed when I realised it was no longer there so decided to go to the Roast restaurant where I ordered the roast pork. Unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. The crackling was soft but not crackly. The pork was Ok but the middle bit very tough. The roast potatoes were OK but I have had better. Their bread was good Great views since they put me in a great window seat. Service was good and this plus the seat location is what got them to three stars. But I would be hard pressed to recommend the food. Shame. I had hoped to find a replacement for the stunning roast pork they used to serve. Happy to pay a lot more for the restaurant and it was about 4x the price but need it to be as incredibly good which it wasn’t. I shall have to find another option. The paella stall was busy so I might have to try that. I was sort of happy to get away from the crowds to eat but food needed to be better

Amazing Halloween decorations definitely 10/10. We tried the vegetarian afternoon tea, which was nice but the scones needed improvements, they were not your typical scones in afternoon tea hard and flaky and we didn’t finish them as really not tasty at all. Service was slow and waiters not attentive but other than service and scones the experience was good. The Halloween decor made up for the slow service.

Excellent Excellent Excellent from start to finish. Greeted at the door by the doorman then immediately met by waiting staff and shown to a table. We hadn't pre booked, service exceptional. Menu choices great and varied. Food delicious and not too expensive. Good soft drink choice and overall wine choices too. A really enjoyable mid week meal.

The male bartender was incredibly nice and funny, which made the experience even better. Service was excellent, and the drinks were great. The food menu was small, but everything came out well. It was a bit overpriced, but still a solid stop for a travel day.

It’s Sunday, and a proper roast felt just right for a rainy day. We revisited The Barrowboy and Banker near Borough Market, a place we’ve enjoyed before. The roast chicken was tender and flavourful, served with rich gravy and all the trimmings. The beef was tasty too, though not quite as warm as the chicken or previous visits. We loved its setting, atmosphere, and the service provided. It's advised to reserve beforehand.

This classic British pub truly embodies the traditional atmosphere you'd expect. It was incredibly busy when we visited, bustling with people enjoying their drinks and conversations. Finding a spot was a bit of a challenge, but if you manage to snag a table, it's definitely worth it. The food was delicious, offering hearty and authentic pub fare that perfectly complemented the lively environment. And, of course, the beer selection was excellent, featuring a great range of local and classic British ales. Despite the crowds, the vibrant energy and quality offerings made for a very enjoyable experience. ---

Founded in 1845 at the foot of the London bridge. We ordered the fish and steak pies. Both delicious. A large selection of taps and a cozy atmosphere About £20 for a pie. We'll probably come back for the fish and chips.

Incredibly solid Tapas place. Packed when we arrived but the stellar crew managed to still get us a table in about 20 minutes. Service was A+, food was A+. Had some cocktails which were also top notch. Wine with dinner. Overall would return in a heartbeat. The vibe and the crowd are peak. All the greatest hits are available from Spains grand cuisine of tapas culture. You wont be disappointed. Salud!

Nice from start to finish. We had no reservation and were still accommodated for a table of three. Our Spanish friend in the group wanted to come here because she had heard good things, and it was such lovely food and service. Relaxed and casual atmosphere and interior. We ate quite a lot and liked everything. The red Sangria was delicious, too. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

The service, the location and the ambience was really good. Had mixed feelings about the food. The Pan Con Tomate was delicious, the croquettes were alright (it's a skip for me). The heuvos rotos had some issues the potatoes, some were crisp as a chip and some were nicely done, unevenly salty which made it hard to eat. Definitely pricey.

Very few places come close to this. White Rioja is out of this world. I now like prawns. The chicken thigh is the most ridiculous tasting greatness I have had. Genuinely cannot fault anything here. Georgina served us and recommended dishes, was super friendly and helpful. Made the experience perfect. Clean plates and we ordered loads. Muy bien.

Delicious food! And really lovely service. Happy to recommend things for us to try - great knowledge of the menu. Also the alcohol free (and alcoholic) sangrias were delicious!

I visited Black & Blue on 14 December 2025 for a late lunch at approximately 3:00 PM while on holiday. I would like to begin by acknowledging the lady who initially escorted us to our table. She was warm, friendly, enthusiastic, and an absolute sweetheart. Her welcoming demeanor gave us a very positive first impression. Unfortunately, the rest of our dining experience was deeply disappointing due to both service and food quality. When we requested additional water and ketchup, another waitress attended to us and appeared visibly reluctant. She did not speak a single word despite our polite request, maintained a stoic expression, and returned by forcefully placing the water jug on the table rather than setting it down courteously. She also brought only one small container of ketchup, which was clearly insufficient for three people with a substantial portion of chips remaining. When we calmly stated, “This isn’t enough,” she walked away without acknowledgment and later returned with six ketchup containers in what felt like a deliberately excessive and sarcastic response. The interaction made us feel disrespected and uncomfortable. What made this more unsettling was observing the same waitress being cheerful, smiling, and exceptionally friendly while serving other tables. As the only Asian guests in the restaurant at the time, we could not help but feel disregarded and question whether this treatment may have been influenced by bias. While we cannot state this definitively, the contrast in behavior was difficult to ignore and left us feeling deeply uneasy. Additionally, the food itself was unacceptable. We ordered our steak medium-well, but it arrived well done and heavily charred, with an overpowering burnt taste that was genuinely nauseating. The steak was unpleasant to eat and far below the standard one would expect, particularly from a restaurant known for steak. While the main courses were heavily disappointing, I would like to note that the desserts were exceptional. They were well-prepared, flavorful, and thoroughly enjoyable, standing in stark contrast to the mains. Had the quality of the food and service been consistent with the desserts, our overall experience would have been far more positive. It is truly unfortunate that what should have been an enjoyable holiday meal was marred by such poor service and food quality. While we greatly appreciated the kindness of the hostess who first welcomed us, the behavior of one server and the substandard meal ultimately made our experience extremely dissatisfactory, especially considering the great reviews. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as no guest should ever feel dismissed, disrespected, or uncomfortable while dining.

I had a delicious steak and a great dining experience overall. The food was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Special thanks to Vaida for the excellent service – she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely come back again.

Atmosphere & Ambience – 4.8/5 Black & Blue offers an exceptional dining atmosphere. The interior design strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance and classic steakhouse charm. Dim lighting, exposed brick walls, and dark wood give the place a cozy yet upscale feel. Whether you’re dining with friends or on a romantic date, the vibe is welcoming and stylish without being pretentious. I especially appreciated the spacious layout—tables are far enough apart for private conversation, a rare luxury in central London. Food & Flavour – 4.7/5 The food was the true highlight. I ordered the ribeye steak, cooked medium-rare, and it was absolutely spot-on—tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The peppercorn sauce added a lovely depth without overpowering the steak’s natural flavor. On the side, the truffle fries were crisp with just the right amount of aroma, and the creamed spinach was rich and comforting. For starters, I had the tuna tartare, which was refreshingly light and beautifully presented. Dessert-wise, the sticky toffee pudding is a must—warm, moist, and paired with the perfect scoop of vanilla ice cream. Service – 4.5/5 The staff were professional and friendly. Our waiter gave great wine recommendations and was very attentive without hovering. The service felt personal, and the team clearly takes pride in delivering a quality dining experience. Food arrived promptly, and we never felt rushed. Location & Value – 4.4/5 Located just a short walk from Borough Market, Black & Blue is conveniently placed if you’re exploring central London. Prices are on the higher end, but the quality of both the food and the service justifies the cost. It’s not an everyday spot, but for a special night out or a memorable steak dinner, it’s worth it. Would I go back? Absolutely. It’s the kind of place that combines solid steakhouse staples with an elegant twist, making it a standout choice for meat lovers and foodies alike.

Located almost near the entrance of Boroughs Market, this place is great for a sit down meal. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable and recommended the right pairing of beer with the burgers we ordered. The toilets are clean and the place is not at all noisy. If you're ever near Boroughs Market, don't miss this place.

Lovely London bar and restaurant built into the tunnels of the railway. It felt very modern but had really great features of the brick tunnels inside. It was large ans spacious inside with seating area outside. I came here with a girlfriend and we only had drinks so can't comment on food but the staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely come back here again to try the food.

This review is so overdue! My husband and I visited London in May 2025, and during our stay we were lucky enough to discover this absolute gem of a pub. We ended up coming back almost every evening for dinner because everything about the place was just perfect. The food was consistently delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. But what truly made our visits memorable was the outstanding service. A special thank you to Wojtek, the manager, who was warm, welcoming, and wonderful to chat with. And to Lee, who was training as a new waiter at the time—his service was excellent, attentive, and genuinely kind. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind after long days exploring the city. Highly recommend to anyone visiting London!

A Cozy Old Pub by the Thames This pub has such a charming, traditional atmosphere — super cozy and full of character. As tourists from Amsterdam, we really enjoyed the great beer and delicious food. The people here made us feel so welcome, and we had a good laugh with the regulars at the bar. This visit was truly one of the highlights of our trip to London! 🍻🇬🇧

Always a must-visit whenever I’m in London. Hands down, some of the best meat pies in the city. The pub is especially cozy this time of year, beautifully decorated with festive holiday touches that make it even more inviting. Friendly staff, delicious food, and a classic London pub atmosphere that never disappoints.

We had a lovely dinner at The Anchor Bankside and couldn’t have picked a better spot. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with just the right mix of history and charm. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. Our meal was delicious, hearty, and perfect for the riverside setting. It’s a wonderful place to relax, enjoy good food, and soak up a bit of London’s character. We’ll definitely be back!

We came here as part of a food tour. Had a drink and some of their sticky pudding. The pudding was delicious. Staff were great. It seemed very quiet though, not a lot of customers.
Alex Pierce - 3 weeks ago

Such a lovely underground pub. It’s unspoken about, but deserves all the love it can get. Please ask for the cider and sticky toffee pudding while you’re here, and you won’t be disappointed. Absolutely stunning and aesthetic pub that my family and I have frequented for our time here. Such lovely staff and wonderful service. Please please please give this place the chance it deserves!
Logan Schrantz - 8 months ago

Nice little underground pub to relax after work, for all its minor faults it's the staff and management that make this a place you return to, always friendly, always engaging and always accommodating. You can tell they really care about the customer experience and service they provide, which is pretty rare nowadays tbh.

A fantastic pub, ideal for a beer with friends after work. But the selection of beers is a bit poor. If only they still sold strong lager (the Davys lager was great but can't be found any longer).

Despite being located in one of the most touristy parts of London, Elliot’s genuinely delivers. The food is excellent and thoughtfully cooked, and they have an impressive selection of natural wines to match. From the snacks, especially the Isle of Mull cheese puff, to the small plates like the lion’s mane mushroom, everything was spot on. The wood-grilled Yorkshire venison chop was absolutely outstanding. A real standout restaurant that’s well worth visiting.

Taken here by my date and the food was amazing. We walked in during Sunday lunch and they had plenty of tables. Definitely a hidden gem! The food we ordered was very flavoursome and the seafood tasted really fresh. He recommended to save some of the crust from the pizza to Dip it in the monk fish sauce. Highly recommend and would come back!

My partner and I agreed this is the best sunday roast we’ve had in London - which is saying something since we have had many! The meat was tender and the sides were a bit different and lovely! The garlic bread foccacia starter was also out of this world, it was so pillowy and soft and oozing with garlic butter! I would come back just to eat that. The vibe of the restaurant was so cosy and the tables were spaced out nicely so the meal felt pretty private! Please keep doing the roasts (and the garlic bread!!)

CUTE DATE NIGHT BABY! Without Googling it, I couldn’t quite tell you what cuisine this place is aiming for, though the presence of a small ragu dish hints at Italian. Either way, it’s a beautiful restaurant that mixes larger grilled plates, plenty of fish, and a strong range of small plates. Most of the smaller dishes are cold and not the best value, but the quality is there. The whole space feels calm and elegant, a nice little escape from the bustle of Borough Market just outside. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. It’s one of those places that feels effortlessly stylish and makes for a great cheeky Instagram snap while you sip your wine.
Key Manning - 3 months ago

This place is an absolute gem. Whether you go for date night or just a fun evening with some friends it has such a good vibe. The outdoor seating even feels slightly Parisian. It’s got everything your Millenial foodie heart wants. A massive wine selection (including a delicious orange wine section), a creative menu full of sharing plates catered to everyone’s dietary preferences and needs and staff that is absolutely delightful and friendly. If I could I would have ordered one of everything but I’m also incredibly happy with the plates we chose.
