Visiting The George felt like walking straight into history. It’s a stunning, old pub with an incredible atmosphere that makes you feel the age of the building.A few things to note for your visit: Space: The seating area is quite limited and it gets very crowded quickly, so be prepared for a bustling environment. Location: It is perfectly situated very close to Borough Market, making it a great spot to grab a drink after exploring the stalls.If you love historic pubs with character, this is a must-visit, just try to get there early to snag a spot!

Good place for some beers to go with your food and watch Live Sports. We were entertained with Live F1 streaming of Barcelona Race. In the evening you could expect to watch live Soccer including the current World Cup!

My wife and I have been to the George a few times during our visits to London (we're from Chicago). The history is a big draw and deservedly so. There are multiple bars, restaurants in this establishment, some older than others. The few meals that we've had there are what I would call traditional pub food. Additionally, the beer selection is very good with something being served for every palette. Being close to Borough Market is a plus. If you need a break or simply looking for something to eat, this is a great spot to pay a visit.

A great spot right next to London Bridge with a really nice atmosphere and classic London pub character. Service was friendly, the setting was lively without feeling overwhelming, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area for a true British pub experience!

Had my first experience at Roast For our anniversary dinner while on our trip in London. We had a great experience. From the lovely decor, to the yummy drinks to the delish food and the lovely Staff as well as the view from the table we had looking over a part of the Borough Market. 😍 We had a lovely waiter named James. He recommend another fantastic cocktail bar called Cahoots a few steps away to check out afterwards which didn’t disappoint! I will definitely return to Roast in the near Future 😁

We came here for a team breakfast and had a great time. The food was amazing! These were probably the best pancakes I’ve ever had in London — soft and fluffy, with smooth and rich cream. The blueberry jam was probably homemade because it didn’t taste like any other jam you can get from a shop. The portion was generous and very satisfying. The cappuccino was spot on as well. Plus, with the friendly service and beautiful environment, there’s nothing I could complain about. By the way, I saw the poached eggs on avocado toast at another table, and they looked delicious.

Tasty food and lovely atmosphere. The dining room is brightly lit with flowers near the entrance and the ceiling which looks great. Note that the restaurant is a bit tricky to find as you need to go into the Borough Market. Once you’re in the restaurant, you have a great view of the market

We had the most wonderful afternoon tea at Roast! Everything was absolutely delicious, honestly a 12/10. The selection was fantastic, the portions were generous, and every item was beautifully presented. A special thank you to James, who made our experience even better. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and cheerful, making us feel right at home. He even gave us some great recommendations for rooftop bars in London, which we really appreciated. Excellent food, amazing service, and a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic afternoon tea in London! 💗

A fabulous traditional Sunday roast every day of the week, and the best one I have ever had, with perfect Yorkshire puddings, and tender slices of beef. There are enough other dishes to give a range of options, traditional and innovative. The puddings are to die for too, including sticky toffee pudding and Eton mess. Exceptional, friendly, professional, attentive service. A beautiful room with a grand, historic window salvaged from Covent Garden. They even noticed it was a birthday for our guest, and offered a discrete celebratory extra. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We will most certainly be back.

A classic London pub with a grand, slightly upscale feel, set inside a converted old bank near London Bridge. The interior is a standout — high ceilings, big windows, and a dramatic staircase give it a more impressive vibe than your average pub. Food is solid British pub fare — especially known for pies, fish & chips, and a good range of ales. Portions are generous and it’s a reliable choice if you want something traditional. The atmosphere is lively and often busy, especially with tourists and after-work crowds thanks to its prime location by Borough Market and London Bridge. * Can get very crowded and noisy * Prices are slightly high for what you get

Good and quick service considering it was a busy Friday night! The venue was clean and tidy and very spacious inside. Food was decent and there was a good selection of drinks also. The venue had air con and was nicely decorated for the World Cup!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch the other day. We shared the Pie Sharing Board that included 4 mini pies with mash potato, cheesy cauliflower, greens and gravy. All of the pies were very tasty, but I reckon the best pie is the Steak & London Pride pie. We washed it down with a Seafarers Lager. A very enjoyable 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 was perfect choice for my last Friday evening in London! The vibe here is absolutely buzzing — loud, crowded, and full of life. Super friendly staff and delicious fish and chips. Definitely will visit again!

The guy at front of house has great energy, really welcoming and friendly, short wait for the table to guided us to the bar, nice guy. Food overall and as a 4.5 star. Food was all good, 1 real stand out wow factor dish, the prawns. The ham that’s sliced at the bar is great. Despite being mega busy, the service was great and food was cleverly cooked fresh as was piping hot, really impressed. Expensive but expected pricing considering location. £120 and we didn’t have any booze. Location is great, short walk from London Bridge. Outside seating was prime people watching spot, on a busy Friday evening. Again, special mention to the front door of house, what a guy!

After strolling through Borough Market it was nice to relax and enjoy a Tortilla Espanola at Tapas Brindisa. The customer service was exceptional and my toasted Torilla Espanola was delicious! Excellent service and delicious food makes me a repeat customer. I look forward to returning on my next visit to London!

This is a steak house that can easily provide tasty non-steak meals. We stopped by for lunch when turned down by the French cafe across the road and were delighted with the choice of vegetarian dishes and the professionalism of the staff. The restaurant itself is really well designed and tastefully decorated. Highly recommended.

I visited this place on June 26th, my birthday, with a group of friends, and we had a wonderful time. I had one of the best burgers I've had in a long time, paired with a delicious glass of Merlot. The food and drinks were excellent, the prices were very reasonable, and the overall atmosphere was lovely. The only small downside was that it was an exceptionally hot day in London, and the air conditioning wasn't quite strong enough to keep the place cool. Apart from that, everything was great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food, good value, and a pleasant atmosphere. I'll certainly be coming back!

Had a very nice meal here. We went with a large group so there were 12 of us. They managed to get all our food out together and very quickly without compromising standards. Everything was delicious. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend.

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.

We had dinner at Borough Market last night. In my opinion, it's one of the best restaurants I've seen in London. There were six of us, and we ordered steak, a cheese plate, soup, dessert, and fish with house wine. Everything was fantastic. The staff were also incredibly attentive, polite, and helpful. The atmosphere was wonderful in every way. (Don't let the owners hear this, but the prices are quite reasonable considering the setting, presentation, and service!) Many thanks to the staff, especially the Serbian-born employee who took care of us...

Popped in for a pint after going to Borough Market. Nice spot on the corner, food looked lovely but we'd eaten. Had a nice pint of Level Head, lovely. Proper old school pub, good atmosphere. Apparently rebuilt in 1676 after the great fire of London.

This is the place you go for Fish and chips, Scotch eggs or Sunday Roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding. Amazing atmosphere, so many little pockets of bars and stairs, it's such a delight to eat there. Super friendly staff.

During our many visits to London, we had walked past this pub countless times. The exterior alone is stunning, and its location is absolutely fantastic. Today, we finally decided to step inside for a nice pint. As beautiful as the pub is on the outside, it is just as impressive on the inside, what an amazing place! There is a very wide selection of beers, ales, and other craft brews. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and incredibly welcoming. It's the perfect spot to sit down, catch up with friends, and enjoy a great beer together. Cheers!

We had Sunday roast at The Anchor Bankside and overall it was a good experience, mainly thanks to the flavour of the main dishes. We ordered the 28-day aged sirloin of beef. The taste was very good, but there’s an important downside: if this is sirloin, it was much fattier than expected. The portions came as two relatively small medallions with quite a bit of fat, which made them less enjoyable to eat. The sides were decent, though a bit heavy on fried elements. We also tried the Nut Roast Wellington, which was actually a pleasant surprise — very tasty and well balanced. Desserts, however, were disappointing. We had the Chocolate Caramel Torte and the Blackberry & Elderflower Eton Mess, and both felt quite underwhelming compared to the mains. Recommendation: Enjoy the Sunday roast, but skip the desserts, or go for the classic Sticky Toffee Pudding, which is likely a safer choice. Overall: great flavour in the mains, but some details (especially fat content and desserts) could be improved.

A beautiful day up London and the best pub to be in. Had a beer in the garden and one on the roof top terrace. I’m normally an ale guy but when the weather is this great a nice cold lager is the one! Cheers, Mike @the_man_cave_est2021

Really lovely pub tucked under the London Bridge. The food and wine list is fantastic and great value for the pricing. I had the bangers and mash paired with the French Grenache/Syrah and the British cheese plate for desert with the Pinot noir. Highly recommend both plates. The Grenache blend was lovely and paired well; the Pinot Noir was nice but a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was good but the fellow seemed stretched thin, could have used an extra server. The atmosphere of the main old pub area is fantastic, grab a seat there if you can. The back dining room area is nice too but lacks the old world charm. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot for some quality food and wine in London that won’t break the bank.

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.

Stumbled across this place because I needed a meeting point for some family members who were from out of town. It's a great little pub that is an unassuming hole in the wall. The interior is cosy and fun, and there's an ok beer selection. The vibe was very chilled in there which was needed to hide from the busy streets of Borough Market.
Daniel Bailey - 5 months 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!

After having magnificent Thai food, we decided to go on a little wander around borough market in search of some wine. We wanted somewhere busy and fun and this place fitted the bill. We arrived around 10ish, it was busy but there were a few tables free. We ordered a bottle of white wine, I believe it was from Spain, maybe Barcelona. The wine was lovely and fresh with a hint of some kind of fruit (maybe it wasn't, but there was something about the dessert about it) which I loved, it went down a treat. The bottle of wine wasn't too expensive, approx £57.00. The service was impeccable, as soon as we arrived, we were seated at the table and the wine menu was explained to us. The atmosphere was amazing, it was a typical Friday night so the energy was nice and the company was even better. If you're in the borough market area and you're feeling thirsty, please don't hesitate to come to Elliott's 😊

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend the cheese puffs - the oil in the fryer tasted old, and it really came through in the dish. It affected the flavour quite a bit and wasn’t pleasant. On a brighter note, the tomato and peach salad was lovely, as was the flat iron steak. The venue is beautiful and the service was great!
Tetiana Herasymovych - 3 weeks ago

We ordered several dishes. 1. cheese puffs (really good) 2. Anchovies toast (too much butter) 3. Bread (it’s bread(bring back the small wood fired bread)) 4. Red lettuce salad (too bitter on its own, strange combination with the Parmesan) 5. Mussels (average, quite bland) 6. Steak (large portion ordered, was nice) 7. Chips (too salty, tasted like honest burger chips). The orange radler and margarita were both fantastic. What was quite odd was that there was zero structure to the service, all of these items arrived individually at very different times, it was like some strange version of a tasting menu and it did not go well, you need these dishes together to enjoy the flavours of each / pairing flavours, individually it was a bit of a let down and wouldn’t be back for this reason.

Had been to Elliot’s years previously and had been trying to come back, let’s me honest mainly for those cheese puffs! 🤭🧀 They were of course amazing but as was every other dish we ate! The wine was also amazing as was the atmosphere/ service a tad slow at times but they were busy and training new people so not to be helped! A great spot in London and near the buzz of Borough Market.
Ashley Harley - 4 weeks ago

Everything we ate was really tasty. Nice location and a really chill rustic vibe inside the hotel. My only criticism would be the wood fired plates - some of them I think are too expensive for what you get - the monkfish for example was really tasty, but for £45 you really don’t get much meat on the fish. Only other thing would be the plates come out when they’re ready which to be fair we were told about this, however some of the sides/small plates we got to pair with one of the main dishes eg. Steak and the potatos, but they came 20 minutes apart which was a little frustrating. Other than that it was really tasty. Pizza was 10/10, lamb steak was delicious and the bavette steak was really good.
