The pub side is better than the restaurant side. Burger was great: juicy and tasty. The fish sandwich was good but maybe a little dry. Overall great pub ! Recommend jugged hare pale ale ! Enjoy!

Very special find. Indoors bar at the front cosy rooms at the back and a fire and arm chair sofa eating then a terrace (if you’re lucky enough to get a space)

Fabulous traditional pub right beside the Thames in Poplar. Food is first class , but because it's close to Canary Wharf financial district, some prices can be eye-watering. Great views of the river .

Bonus H.

Sit by the fire, try one of their gin drinks....nice twist on a drink staple. Blood pudding & duck egg is a nice change!

Annabell Norden

Beef roast on a winter's Sunday. Lovely beef and vegetables . Yorkshire pudding - not bad! Great views and definitely worth the walk.

Great gastropub , good food and beers . River view , fireplace in winter, nice atmosphere. No sport on TV (just for those expecting this in a pub ;)

Loulabelle

Love love love this place. Amazing Sunday roasts . Open fire during the cold months. Lovely terrace with great river views . Friendly staff . Great food and drink

Alison Roche

Really great menu with lots of interesting things to try. If you have the artichoke you only eat the ends dipped in the hollandaise !

Kimberley Green

Stunning views over the river Thames , great little gastropub with a fine choice of ales and wines aswell as menu worthy of any great restaurant . Read more

Jeffrey Silver

Awesome Pub . 200yrs old and amazing craft beers with very friendly staff . Food is super and sit down and enjoy

Andrea T

7.20 pm on a summer Saturday and they've run out of their best lagers . I understand that it's London, and shame on you if you can't stand IPAs or other ales , but still...

Chris Jones

Sunday roast , pornstar martini , chocolate desert . All amazing.

Christopher

If you are organising a small group outing or a special private dinner , the upstairs dining rooms are great. Food recently has been really excellent.

Zach Stockwell

Not a cheap pub but the atmosphere and river view is excellent. Burger recommended!

Sergio A

The best gastropub in London. Food and service are amazing. Try Yorkshire rabbit , pigeon and black pudding terrine . Delicious!

Angela Liu

Gastropub overlooking the river with amazing roast

Popped in for a lunchtime beer . Very friendly staff . Bar menu was a little too expensive for my random fly by and there wasn't that much I fancied off of it.

Chetan Phalak

Great pub and restaurant . The Portuguese food used to be legendary. British food is also very good.

Jugged hare is a nice beer . Get the table by the picture of the gun at the end of the bar and people watch .

Maureen Robson

Absolutely brilliant place, excellent food, great service, very helpful staff . I only wish it was nearer where I live.

Cleobulus .

Great view on the river ! Terrible service, mediocre food and expensive !!! We only had to ask 6 times for the menu, 5 times to order, 8 times to get some water when waiters were more than the guests

Bonus H.

Bloom London dry gin was a professional drink served perfectly by Zack

Chris Ostermann

Very good food. Had the beef roast . Ask for plenty of gravy beforehand as they seem to ration it and it gets kind of boring asking for more every 5 minutes.

Norbert Van Der Neut

Everything is great! 👌🏽

Thrillist

This summer hit their outdoor grill for monkfish & salmon "espetada", described as a "hanging kebab " -- punishment it deserves for the unpardonable crime of not being served "with chilli sauce , mate?" Read more

BC O

Great pub away from the wharf crowds. Food is good. Nice views of the Thames .

John Kottis

You must taste their home made cheeseburger . Homemade chips , onion rings ...

Annabell Norden

Great views , decent Sunday lunch and good atmosphere.

John Lyons

Go for a Sunday roast . Great tatties, not had many better & the desserts are lush

Saikat Chakrabarti

Nice outdoor pub that doesnt get ridiculously crowded on warm days. Great beer selection .

Davide M.

Excellent drink menu, tasteless food, service so slow and you need to remind them the order you placed half an hour ago..

Jarrett

One of the under appreciated great pubs in London. Across from the O2.

Nigel Hall

Great view on Riverside, great food !

Priscila Fernandes Badra

Pretty disappointed with the restaurant . After read good recommendation about the place I came in and after booked to have the roast beef they didn't have the beef . Plus bill with food we didn't order

Roshini Johri

Dine and drink with lovely views ! Dinner till 10.30. <3

Zoárd Manó Andresik

If you and your mates feel extremely clever, pop down mondays for the pub quiz! Great fun. You have to register in advance though

Aleksander P

Nice place with good service and the prices are not so teribble as others are posting

EuGe

Scenic views and tasty food from this gastropub

Merje Shaw

Lovely fireplaces in the back of the pub . Great for enjoying a glass of the lovely wine they serve here

Dave Nattriss

Al fresco dining out by the river in the summer, warm fires indoors in the winter, and a river terrace and posh indoor dining all year 'round

Hanni Ross

Great views from the river terrace .

Dertie Bixon

Worth the trip.This is a hidden gem .

andrew b

Happy beer . Top quality burger . No music and Sunday papers. Even the wife likes it.
