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.

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.

This is a large venue with multiple screens, dozens of tables, and a good variety of beers. That having been said, the place was a filthy mess and reeked of garbage and dirty diapers. The bar was woefully understaffed, with tables full of dirty dishes and trash. The servers were certainly over worked and their demeanor showed it. We had fish and chips, beef pie and a chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was way overcooked. The fish was quality but the fries were stale and bland. The pie was ok. Extremely disappointed with the experience. No way I would go back or recommend anyone else to visit this trash pile of an establishment.

An astonishing surviving landmark of 17th Century London and an absolute MUST SEE & EAT HERE!!!!! It is wonderful that we can still be treated to monuments like this and ESPECIALLY while it provides some terrific food which can be consumed with the ghosts of Charles Dickens and Winston Churchill. Be sure to try the SALMON FISH CAKES and/or the STEAK CHIABATTA...some of the best food we had while in London. Be sure to tour the main bar and Parliament Room and see the story of William Pitt's taxes at 1797 THE PARLIAMENT CLOCK, an historic treasure.

We had a great Sunday roast dinner at the George Inn very pub. The atmosphere was just like in back in the old days a bit cold in the restaurant due to the cold outside, so please bring a jacket or overcoat. Our will hosted a great job and giving us a great service.

This was like a hidden gem inside borough market. Beautiful decor and equally beautiful cuisine. We had a private room so it was easy to chat; however, when the door opened it was quite loud out in the dining area. The service was top notch, prompt, clean, attention to detail - I couldn't ask for anything more. We started with some Scotch eggs and scallops, both of which were fantastic. Our entire table of 10 ordered the wellington and it came out looking and tasting amazing. Needed a pinch of salt, but that could be my American palette shining through. Fantastic sides with carrots, spinach, mushrooms and cheesy cauliflower. The drinks were great as well. I ordered the Big Ben and it was a hit at the table.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Roast’s Wimbledon-themed afternoon tea, and it truly exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail stood out from the tennis inspired decor sun flowers to the beautifully presented treats. The selection of sandwiches (halal) and scones was classic but elevated, while the themed desserts really stole the show: think miniature tennis balls crafted from mousse, strawberry tarts that gave a perfect nod to the iconic Wimbledon strawberries and cream, and a refreshing selection of teas. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt relaxed yet special ideal for both tennis fans and afternoon tea lovers alike. A brilliant balance of creativity, flavour, and atmosphere. Definitely one I’d recommend if you’re looking for something seasonal and memorable in London.

We came here for the afternoon tea for a hen do/ birthday party and had a great time. The staff was very accommodating in letting us stay longer than the specified 3 hours. There was lots of dietary requirements from the group, they offer a vegetarian and halal afternoon tea which enabled the full group to enjoy the experience. The decor is beautiful, perfect for a girly or romantic dining experience out.

Amazing food, best steak I’ve ever had! Decor, staff and service is all perfect! Not the easiest to find but when you do it’s totally worth it

We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch at Roast. We had the beef and lamb, both of which were very good and the meat was tender. The roast potatoes were deliciously crispy and we really enjoyed the mixed vegetables too. The freshly made mint sauce with the lamb was an excellent addition. All in all, a very good roast. The restaurant is light and airy and the view is over Borough market. The entrance way is a little over the top, in my opinion, with all the floral instagram style decorations, but the inside of the restaurant is less so. The formal dining area is quite nice. Riccardo, our waiter, was charismatic and friendly making the experience even nicer. We look forward to going back.

Good escape from the crowded borough market. Schnitzel was reasonably price and tasted good. Fries were generous. Salad was fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful. Went on a weekday lunch and it wasn’t crowded and peaceful with good music.
Wong Sze Han - 2 months ago

Ate early before it started to get busy. Mrs. had Schnitzel and I had currywurst. Staples when we are in Germany. Food is definitely on par with what Munich has to offer. If I lived here, it would be a regular. Staff very friendly and helpful (especially when struggling to get mustard out of the bottle 😀 ) If you like German food, beer and ambience this is the place for you.
Alastair Smith - 10 months ago

Came here at 6:30 pm Friday night looking for classic German food and good pub vibes. First thoughts were that this felt like walking into underground bunker rather than a lively German tavern. There were 4 young staff members at the the bar, but none came up to us to explain how to order or whether to order at the bar. Service was unfriendly but food, beer and prices were excellent. Paprikawurst and bratwurst were my favorite. Pretzels were also pretty great. Would like to come back on a busier night or a night with better vibes.

Delicious food, especially the small sausage platter, with the sauerkraut. Very friendly service. We enjoyed the quiet afternoon atmosphere, before the evening rush, and after the crowds of Borough Market.

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!

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!
Julián Cárdenas - a week ago

Stopped in after a long day of sightseeing and was not disappointed! We had the fish and chips, scotch egg, and a Yorkshire pudding on the side. It was all delicious! The yorkies came with 2 in the order and it was a generous size! The only downside is how loud the restaurant was.
Suzanna Wong-Nash - 2 months ago

Always a great experience in this Fuller's pub near London Bridge station. We came in for lunch with the kids, have been in plenty of times before for just drinks after work. Service was good in both the bar area and dining area, atmosphere good - busy but not too busy. Only taking one point off food as they had 'run out' of London Pride so I ended up going for a different pint. Full kids menu (note that you have to ask for this) quality better than other places - the panko-breaded chicken bites really are this and not lower quality chicken nuggets, likewise the fish really is freshly battered fillets. Adult meals also good pub quality. Will come back

First place we ate in London after a visit to Southwark Cathedral. Simply splendid atmosphere. We ate on the mezzanine so we could take in the beautiful interior. Service was friendly and efficient, food was just perfect (meat pie, fish & chips.)

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!
Dee Lawal - 3 months ago

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

Amazing food. Excellent service. Mediocre atmosphere. ✨ This is a tapas restaurant. For those not familiar, "tapas" is a style of dining where people share small plates for the table. For 3 people, we had 5 plates + dessert + wine l. But if you're really hungry you might want to order more as portion sizes are towards the small end. I recommend the Jamon Croquettes (overpriced but delicious), the "patatas bravas", and the "Spanish Tortilla". Was not happy with "Pan con tomate" and would not recommend it. I've had better. Being in central London, expect to pay a premium (e.g £8.50 for three croquettes) plus a 13.5% service charge, instead of the typical 12.5%. The atmosphere is underwhelming. During our visit it was extremely packed and noisy. If someone was ordering at the bar, they would brush backs with someone dining at a table. Very tightly packed tables, to maximise profits. Not pleasant at all from a customer view. A booking is recommended.

We popped out for a couple of drinks on Saturday and ended up living our best carb-filled, sunshine-soaked dream at Tapas Brindisa. I'd walked past this place for years—always rammed, always tempting—but somehow, in the middle of what felt like 10,000 people at Borough Market, we scored a sunny table outside (shoutout to the lovely server who made it happen). We kicked things off with two very strong, very perfect margaritas. Then came the Pan con Tomate, the Croquetas de Jamón, some kind of melted cheese magic (Queso Fundido), garlic galore (Gambas al Ajillo), and the sauciest pork belly (Panceta Ibérica) that demanded extra bread just to mop it up. Honestly, if I wasn't in public, I would've licked the bowls. Finished it all off with espresso martinis for dessert because… balance. Final bill? About £180. Jesussss!!! We weren't checking prices—just vibes. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'll save it for a very special occasion… not just a casual Saturday stroll through London. We had 5 small plates and 4 drinks, my wallet can't afford it! Until next time...... See more restaurant reviews on Insta @EncyclopediaOfWineandDine

Amazing place, electrifying and friendly atmosphere. Good wine selection and delicious food. Service was very good but probably missed the five stars by a tad bit. Will recommend for a great time with family and friends and will be back again.

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.

Food was delicious and very reasonably priced, we got the 2 course meal for £26 which was great for what we got. I had the steak frites and then the apple pie and both were so tasty. It was for my friends birthday and they gave her a dessert that I thought was a lovely touch. The location is great too.

After a long and tiring journey in cold weather, we finally arrived at the restaurant. My initial impression was positive. The restaurant was large, and for a moment, I felt a sense of excitement, it seemed posh and sophisticated, exactly what one would expect from a high-end London establishment. However, this excitement quickly faded once we were shown to our table. We were seated in a cramped corner that felt more suited for a quick-service café than a premium steakhouse. The table was small, the chairs were uncomfortable, and the entire setup screamed “eat quickly and leave” rather than inviting us to relax and enjoy a fine meal. It was disheartening, to say the least. The seating arrangement was another let-down. The tables were packed so closely together that there was little room to move or speak without fear of being overheard by the neighbouring diners. It didn’t feel private or comfortable. My son and I joked that perhaps having a drink or two might help us forget the lack of privacy and ease our discomfort. Looking at the menu, I was still hopeful that the food might make up for the subpar atmosphere. I left the decision-making to my son but couldn’t help dreaming of a perfectly cooked steak served by professional, attentive waitstaff. Unfortunately, reality hit hard when the drinks arrived. We had ordered diet cokes, which the waiter placed on the table with all the finesse of a fast-food worker at a busy counter. It wasn’t what I expected from a supposed high-end establishment. The starters didn’t fare much better. I must mention, We were served dry and hard pita slices accompanied by a few coloured pepper strips, which felt cheap and uninspired. I kept my focus on the main course, hoping the steak would be the saving grace of the meal. Before the main course, I decided to freshen up and visit the restroom. This, too, was a disappointment. The toilets were located upstairs, accessible either by stairs or a lift, and were housed in what felt like a temporary container structure. They were small, basic, and resembled something you’d find at a pop-up event or a boot sale. It was shocking for a restaurant of this stature to have such inadequate facilities. In my opinion, toilets should have been located downstairs with proper structures, especially if the upstairs was designated for seating. When the steaks finally arrived, my initial optimism resurfaced but only briefly. I had ordered my steak well-done, and to their credit, it was cooked as requested. However, my son had opted for medium-rare, and his steak arrived with a large chunk of uncooked fat hanging off it. It was unappetizing and could easily have put anyone off their meal. The steaks were served with fries and a basic salad. My son had also ordered cooked mushrooms, which he had read glowing reviews about. Sadly, they turned out to be a huge let-down. The fries were served in a basket-style container, but they were thin, overcooked, and dry. Worse still, many of the potato slices were broken, as if they’d simply emptied the fryer’s leftovers into the basket. Honestly, if my wife had gone into the kitchen one Sunday morning, grabbed some frozen chips, mushrooms, and a steak from the freezer, and cooked us a meal, it would have been far superior to what we were served at this restaurant. And it would have cost a fraction of the price, my son paid approximately £60 per person for this meal, excluding alcohol which we did not have any. Overall, the experience was a massive disappointment. The service, ambiance, and food all failed to live up to the expectations one would have for a London steakhouse. It was a sobering reminder that dining in London isn’t always a luxury to envy. While I’m sure there are exceptional restaurants in the city, this wasn’t one of them. I’m grateful to have had this experience, as it has taught me to lower my expectations when it comes to dining in big cities. If you’re planning a special occasion or looking for an outstanding meal, my advice would be to do thorough research and perhaps look beyond the popular names.

Great spot for a chill gathering with friends! The vibe is super relaxed, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming — service with a smile the whole way through. Drinks were solid, and the menu has all the pub classics. Only thing missing? Sweet potato fries. If they ever add those to the menu, it’s an instant 11/10 from me. Definitely coming back!

A great look and feeling historic pub on The Thames river wig several seating areas including on the roof terrace and outside at ground level. If you drink outside on ground level, they only serve in plastic cups. They also hire out for events.

The Anchor is a historic bar with a rich connection to literary history, including being a place where Shakespeare is believed to have spent time. The bar retains much of its original charm, featuring exposed beams, wooden furnishings, and a warm, traditional atmosphere. It offers a wide selection of ales, beers, and craft cocktails, along with a solid menu of classic pub fare. The staff is knowledgeable about the bar’s history and the drink offerings. Its riverside location provides a scenic view, adding to the overall experience. A well-preserved piece of history and a great spot for drinks.

im so disappointed 😭as someone from the US this was my first time trying fish and chips and it was SO dry. the service was great our waitress gave us drink recommendations and patient with us however, the food was not it my palette was already dry from the fries and tarter sauce that a dry fish was not helpful. the fish also falls apart incredibly easy so it’s hard to dip because it’ll just break apart and you can’t pour the sauce either cus it’s so thick, i wanted to like this dish so bad but it just wasn’t it:( PS there was a sign on our bench that said something about beware of pick pockets..

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!

Really nice pub/wine bar under London bridge, lovely old style pub with a great atmosphere and the staff were really friendly.
Roy Francis - 3 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
