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.

Had a meal at The George Inn with a friend. It’s a Green King so the food is pub standard. The building though is just fabulous. Like stepping back in time. Absolutely lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The pub has a charming atmosphere with rustic decor, making it a great spot for drinks and socializing. The drink selection is good, offering local ales and craft cocktails. However, the food didn't meet my expectations. While they serve classic pub fare like fish and chips, the preparation was lacking—my fish was overcooked and the chips could have been crispier. Overall, it's a nice place for drinks, but I’d recommend looking elsewhere for a meal.

Huge pub in the in the London Bridge area next to the Borough market. From the street entrance you walk through and then you see the huge courtyard with tons of seating. Then there are bunch of indoor areas spread all over. We sat on the upstairs patio overlooking the courtyard, it was really nice. Order at the bar and then food will get to your table. I tried the George Inn Ale as well as the Timothy Taylors Ale. For food we tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The ales were great, the dessert was ok. It is nice to have a view of the Shard and the vibes of this establishment was really nice. Would come here again!

One of the loveliest pub gardens in London, especially on sunny days! Classic pub food and a buzzing atmosphere in the afternoons – but that’s just part of London’s charm.

We got the halal afternoon tea. Even tho it was pricey, we couldn’t eat all the food. Some of the pastries were too sweet. The scones were the best!! The sandwiches weren’t that good. I’ve had better sandwiches at less expensive places. They also add a service fee. Atmosphere is great for pics and service is a little slow but tolerable.

Located in a high density area, this restaurant doesn't disappoint. The access it is a bit weird as they are located on the first floor of some old building, but the space it is nice, arranged, and feels nice. The staff is well trained and friendly. The food is basic English food, roast, grill, baked, fried, but cooked quite well. Well done, chefs! If you order oysters and you like them as they are, remember to tell the waiter not to put chive oil. For me, it is messing up the taste. Overall, I recommend it. Book it in advance as the place it is quite crowded.

I had the beef Wellington and chips with truffle sauce and it was all very good. Service was solid with a lot of attention which was great considering it was very crowded. Meal and drinks came out very quickly. I’ll definitely go back. Returned to bring my wife for a romantic Valentine’s dinner and it was delicious with solid service. We started with scotch egg and oysters, both very good. I had the halibut and my wife had the filet cooked medium rare with peppercorn sauce. The steak was cooked correctly and the sauce on the baked fish was great. We shared the broccoli with with black garlic sauce and for dessert we shared toffee sticky pudding. Everything was wonderful and ambience was very romantic.

Great atmosphere and really nice aesthetic but unfortunately the food was a little lacking in some areas. We got the afternoon tea set and whilst the savoury and sweet options were fine the scones were really off. They had an incredibly weird aftertaste - like too much raising agent perhaps? Although it all looked great the portions were also a little small for the price point.

This review is just for the darts. There are around half a dozen boards, relatively new and good quality. Enough space between them all, too. You have to pay £10 to hire a lane for two hours, which is fair enough. And you have to leave your photo ID with them whilst you do!!! For this you get some chalk and three darts. But check out the photo, all three are different weights, the flight didn't fit properly on one and the shaft on two were damaged. So my top tip is: bring your own darts. Aside from that, the food and beer were good, and the staff friendly. There can be long queues at the bar when busy, which is why we didn't bother queuing up for more darts. The music was 80s pop, which I love, but there are only about fifteen songs on loop, so you get to sing along to the same songs multiple times.

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.

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.

7 year gap between my two visits here, and it seems a very different place now, sadly for the worse. Being told not to stand on the benches at a German beer hall is disappointing, the vibe here was just insipid. The hall was only about half full yet had pretty long and slow queues for the main bar. The upstairs bar was quiet and quick though. The live music was decent, and there are many dartboards along the side available (for a fee I think). The staff were all very helpful and professional.

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

A banking hall pub in a prime location. We'll modernised with retained character. This large pub sits on the south side of London Bridge at the gateway to Borough Market. The large banking hall retains a classic high lattice beamed ceiling on slender & decorative pillars, over large square windows. Modern chandeliers hang over a vintage herringbone wood floor, with plenty of low & high tables. A mezzanine drinking, dining space is atop a modern, classic styled staircase. The modern bar recognises the banking heritage in drawers & lock box design. There's a great selection of beers on draught for a lively well mixed crowd. Decoration is smart & thoughtful to compliment the heritage, with a fine collection of prints. This is a reliable, trustworthy, stable timeless classic drinking hall for in & out of Borough Market or on & off London Bridge.

Nice pub for a meal. Really excellent Sunday Roast beef lunch - two large thick slices of top quality beef, Yorkshire pudding and good selection of vegetables. Served very promptly .Excellent draught Guinness! Child friendly. Can be very busy. No parking.

Place with a pretty ambience, like its accessibility (just across the train station). But the food, I think I’ve had much tastier versions for slightly lesser price. But given its location- can’t complain. Overall a pretty decent experience!

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!

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.

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.

I enjoyed the food here. Atmosphere was even more enjoyable because you're away from the shuffling of borough market goers, while still experiencing them. We had the Txuleta. Cousin always wants to go rare, but I'm a medium kind of guy. The steak was pretty good I must admit. Had some sides as well, bravas and the king prawn. Even the beer was very nice, had 2 for lunch. 😆

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.

We visited the restaurant and tried the double burger and steak. While the burger wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, the overall experience was enjoyable. The steak was well-prepared, and the atmosphere was inviting. What stood out the most was the excellent service – attentive, friendly, and efficient. It made our visit worthwhile. I’d recommend this place for its great ambiance and outstanding service.

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.

A great place to lunch after visiting Borough market. Confortable seating area, good food with good value for money menu (26£ 2 courses). Tip: Avoid still water 500ml @ 8.50£

The food here is very average. We started with chicken satay, which was tough and dry and served with a salad that was a bit past it's best . For a main I had salmon with new potatoes and french beans. It was ok, but very much the sort of thing you would cook at home; and probably wish you'd taken the veg out the pan a few minutes sooner. My partner had steak which was cooked well, but it hadn't been seasoned and was served on a cold plate which is never a good idea. We also got a plate with walnut salad. It was rather uninteresting. I just tried a walnut from it and again it didn''t taste very fresh. The star of the meal by a long way was a sticky toffee pudding which was light with just the right amount of sweetness. If every dish had been as good as this it'd be a very memorable meal. Unfortunately I ordered a rather dull sorbet served in an 80s style fluted glass with mismatched frozen fruits dropped on the top which I decided to avoid following the issue with the salad and nuts! I've added a photo of the drink I had, it looks like the Lime was prechopled some time ago as it is browned and discoloured around the edges. It fits with my concern about the potential lack of freshness of some of the ingredients.

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.

This place gets 5 stars for location. I love to take friends from outside of U.K here after strolling around Southbank, visiting the Tate etc as it’s in traditional English pub n a quirky, historical building, next door to Shakespeares Globe and they can also try traditional fish and chips. The food quality has gone down slightly since the last visit but it could have just been the day.

Great Sunday lunch! I had the Sunday roast, and my boyfriend went for the apple pie – both were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous, and the service was quick and efficient. The atmosphere was warm and traditionally British, making the experience even better. We paid £60 for the meal, including two beers, which felt reasonable for the quality. Would definitely come back!

The Anchor Bankside in London is a fantastic riverside pub located along the Thames. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, the venue offers a beautiful view of the river and the iconic London skyline. The exterior of the building is especially striking, with its classic charm adding to the welcoming atmosphere. We visited during after-work hours, so it was quite crowded, but thankfully we managed to find a spot. Despite the busy crowd, I really enjoyed the experience—sitting by the river was peaceful and the setting was lovely. The outdoor service can be slow, and the prices are on the higher side, but the atmosphere made it worthwhile. On chillier evenings, be sure to dress warmly, as there are no outdoor heaters. Overall, The Anchor Bankside is a great spot for relaxing by the river, enjoying the view, and having a drink after a long day. Despite a few minor inconveniences, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it.

Really nice pub/wine bar under London bridge, lovely old style pub with a great atmosphere and the staff were really friendly.
Roy Francis - 2 weeks 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

We hired The Mug House for a party of about 60 people on a Sunday afternoon. I can't recommend them highly enough! The atmosphere, the food and drink, the service were all fantastic and everyone really enjoyed the event. And given the generous flow of quality food and drink, it was good value. We'd certainly use it for future celebrations.

Beneath the grand arches of London Bridge, lies The Mug House pub – it's a portal to a bygone era. Stepping inside is like stepping back in time, with its oak-panelled walls, old furniture, and antique curios adorning every corner. The warm candlelight and low hum of conversation create an atmosphere that's both inviting and intimate. The Mug House boasts a rich history dating back to the 18th century, and it oozes charm from every brick. The menu at The Mug House is a celebration of classic British fare, with hearty dishes like bangers and mash, roast beef, and fish and chips gracing the pages. Whether you're looking for a cosy corner to curl up with a good book, a lively atmosphere for drinks with friends, or a hearty meal, The Mug House has something for everyone. It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of London and unwind in a truly unique and historic setting.

Jan 2025 Recently revisited and had some amazing wines. Friendly staff too. 2021 as I accidentally gave the review to the nearby Mudlark pub. Beautiful, remarkably quiet pub under London Bridge with nice, reasonably priced ports and a few beers on tap too. Friendly service.
