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.

Came here on the spur of a moment today. I've been wanting to come for ages as it's a National Trust property. This is a massive pub and restaurant. It has many different bars and seating areas. E chose to eat in the upstairs dining area, which was a lovely spot and peaceful compared to the rest of the pub. There's a great choice on the menu with something for everyone. Was tempted by the fish and chips but put off by the calorie content. Had the fish cakes and chips with loads of salad . The portion sizes were good, and food was tasty as well as being cakes. There's a smallish dessert menu, but the sticky toffee cake with Custurd was delicious. Staff were all really friendly. Definitely recommend booking a table, especially at weekends.

A great pub. Historic atmosphere and good beer. Plenty of seating inside or on the outdoor terrace. Very quiet location off the main road. Plus, it's close to the center and Borough Market. We recommend it.

We were there in the afternoon. There were not so many people but then it changed. The service was great and the staff were kind. We ordered a fish&chips which was OK. It looks like an authentic pub, so give it a try.

Visited here 11am on a sunny Friday in May, what a place! We snatched a seat on the gallery and enjoyed overlooking the courtyard as the patrons slowly arrived. Very cool spot. History is cool but they are keeping it relevant too.

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

Had a table for 2 for roast dinner - One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve ever had! All of the food was spot on, from the vegetables, to the roast potatoes, and the meat was cooked to perfection. Views over the market, attentive staff. Pricey, but you get what you pay for!

Right in the heart of Borough Market this place is an elevated oasis of calm above the frenetic buzz below. It is easy to miss but at the time of reviewing has a vibrant sunflower entrance as a land mark. Stairs and a lift are available giving the restaurant interesting views over the market below. Brunch was very good and there was no pressure to vacate our table. Both lunch and afternoon tea looked very good and I would be very happy to return to try either! Service was accommodating and efficient. Facilities were clean and white linen table cloths steamed smooth with a cordless iron….if you like that level of detail you appreciate this! My son’s only complaint was the amount of baked beans served in a minuscule pot was most definitely not sufficient.

We had the afternoon tea at Roast, as a celebration for my sister's hen do. There were a lot of teas to choose from and all the ones we tried were great. The food was amazing. I had the vegan afternoon tea, and didn't feel like I was missing out or being given a poor substitute of the main thing. The warm food, sandwiches and cakes were delightful and very filling. We ended up taking the scones home because we were so full. The staff kindly supplied boxes for us to do so. The decor in the restaurant is beautiful and makes it a really special place for an occasion.

I had a meal at The Roast recently. The place was very noisy, which, although not a deal-breaker, was the start of a poor experience. What really let the place down was the service. We must have had five different people waiting on our table of two, which just felt chaotic and impersonal. The service was incredibly slow. A notable example of the lack of attention was that our water glasses sat empty while servers refilled other tables. Additionally, there was a lack of communication about the long wait for the mains, and they completely forgot one of our side dishes. The food was a mixed bag. The Scotch egg starter was pleasant, and the beef wellington was genuinely tasty. But the beef roast didn't deliver. The roast potatoes looked the part and were crispy, but inside they were dry and hard. The roast beef looked good on the plate, but was disappointingly chewy. The final insult was the bill. After waiting a long time for it to arrive, we noticed that a 15% service charge, which is higher than usual for London, given how poor the service had been and the hit-and-miss food, felt completely unjustified. All in all, I can't recommend The Roast. Given the combination of sloppy service, high prices, and inconsistent food, I recommend eating your roast elsewhere.

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. ---

We first discovered The Barrowboy and Banker during our first visit to London back in 2011, and we instantly fell in love with the atmosphere and the food. Luckily, we've been able to return to London several times since, and this pub has become a must-stop for us. We've tried their pies, fish and chips, puddings — everything has always been excellent. And let’s not forget about Fuller’s, one of my all-time favorite beers. Their ESB is simply outstanding. On our last visit, we were warmly welcomed by the manager of the place, who happened to be originally from Brazil (Paulo, if I remember correctly). He gave us a fantastic experience — it was a real pleasure to chat with a fellow South American while in the heart of London. We had a great time and hope to find him there again on our next trip!

Lovely 😻 looking 👀 pub spacious and airy and very clean. Plenty Weber to choose from especially on tap as well. Very busy. Great choices on the menu from sharing platters to handcrafted pies. Well worth a visit.

We stopped by this pub to recharge after a long day of walking and touring around. The bartender brought such a great vibe and even offered us a small beer tasting so we could try something different, and we absolutely did! Thanks for the warm welcome and the experience. Just what we needed!

Superb tapas and a memorable experience in the busiest part of Borough Market. Thoroughly enjoyed the 1906 brew paired with grilled Pulpo and Gambas al Ajillo. Nicole is wonderful as is everyone else we encountered, Hailey and Joss at the bar with Norberto assisting and deftly handled the incoming crowd. Got seated promptly before the dinner rush. Do try their version of Creme Brulee, it’s the perfect ending to a delightful tapas flight. Will be back for more, cheers!!

It is one of the best Spanish restaurants in London. It is located beside the shop in Borough Market, London Bridge. High prices, but worth the money for value, considering London hospitality prices.
Ismael Gonzalez - a month ago

2nd time I've visited here on a Saturday and always seem to have a table available indoor and on the patio outside. Service is always good, but we felt we were a little rushed by the server on our 2nd visit. The food is very good but a little on the pricey side, however you are paying for the location.

Brindisa has long been a cornerstone of Borough Market, renowned both for its exceptional ingredients and its restaurant. We were seated swiftly for a late lunch, and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and impeccably executed, with each dish proving a delight. The wine and drinks selection was equally impressive, complementing the meal beautifully. Given the quality of both the cuisine and the service, the final bill was remarkably reasonable. A truly excellent local choice

Had a truly lovely time at this Brindisa branch last week. The food came out quickly, piping hot, and full of incredible flavor—every dish was fresh, vibrant, and delicious. There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t enjoy! We had a mix of sangria and wine, both served perfectly chilled and bursting with character. What really made the evening special was the service—genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive throughout. A huge thank you to Luis and Marta, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their hospitality truly stood out. Can’t wait to come back!

Food: We ordered the pork baby back ribs and the steak. The ribs were a bit dry and not as tender as expected, though the accompanying sauce had a nice flavor. Unfortunately, the steak lacked seasoning and didn’t taste particularly fresh. Service: Waitresses are accommodating so I am rating 5. Atmosphere is quite nice but could be better so I am rating 4.

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.

The service was 5 star form beginning to end the food was amazing and the atmosphere was lush just what we needed after travelling to London. Was made to feel very welcome, and the service was great attention to detail, and all our needs were met. Beautiful evening meal. With my girls

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! 🍻🇬🇧

This pub has a nice atmosphere and old world charm, the only let down was the food. I had the pie and mash and the mash was a disaster, had a glue like texture from being over processed. The wedge of cabbage as a side was average at best. My wife had the steak ciabatta and it was very average. Overall would recommend for drinks but not for food.

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 loved this pub. So close to Shakespeare's Globe and with a wonderful view of the Thames. We ended up going there for drinks twice and for dinner once. The steak and ale pie and the sticky toffee pudding were so good.

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 - 5 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.

Really nice pub/wine bar under London bridge, lovely old style pub with a great atmosphere and the staff were really friendly.
Roy Francis - 6 months ago

We were looked after wonderfully for my girlfriend's 30th birthday yesterday. They do gorgeous food and the aesthetic is very historic and fancy. I even had some pleasant soft drinks which wine bars do not usually offer!
Jack Murphy - 2 months ago

We only had drinks and some crisps because the drinks were so strong. They serve excellent Port wine. The place is very unusual, walking through the entrance you get a feeling that you are in a small country pub with all the rustic barrels but then you turn right and it goes on and on further inside. Lots of tables and seats

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.
Maria Zander - 2 months ago

I would highly recommend this place, the food quality is amazing and it’s perfect if you like small plates to share. Definitely get the cheese puffs to start and don’t miss out on the mini pizzas
Amber Goodwin-Rose - a month ago

Had a pleasant meal at Elliot’s in Borough Market! The service was great, and the cheese puffs were a real highlight! The tomato salad was fine, and the pizzas were nice - especially the dough. The tiramisu for dessert was good too, though seemed to have cream in the mascarpone so not the most traditional. Overall, a solid spot with a good vibe. I’d recommend it, but in an area full of amazing options, the food didn’t quite blow me away.

An amazing smorgasbord of sights and smells; food and drink from literally every corner of the world. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Love the tea shops and juice bars
Anita Ramani - a month ago

Literally one the best meals I’ve ever had. Ambiance made me feel like a cool London local. The pizza was better than many I’ve had and I live in Rome. Shoutout to my boy the waiter with long brown hair and glasses, his recommendations were on point. Also the cheesecake was like, insane. I wanna live inside this restaurant. Thank you chef
