Gorgeous, quaint little pub 24th October 2007

This historic little pub is so quaint that it's worth dropping into if you're in the area and if there's room! Service is friendly, even the other diners who were there when we dropped by on a Sunday were friendly. They serve a delicious Sunday roast - it's either pork or lamb on alternate weekends. That Sunday it was pork's turn and it was so good we practically breathed it down with a few pints. There is a tiny veranda overlooking the Thames where it is incredibly relaxing to sit with a few mates and a few more pints on a sunny day. All the action is overseen by who I'm guessing is the resident mascot, Max, a German Shepherd inclined to mind his own business while happily doing the rounds in the place.

Lovely riverside pub, with a really friendly atmosphere from both the regulars and the staff. The deck overlooking the river's especially nice, but the whole place has a warm charm to it. Perfect place to plant yourself with a friend or two, be it a cold winter evening or a long summer day.

I'm also reliably informed that they do the best pint of prawns in London, although I'm not able to personally verify this...

As it's not the biggest place, it can get fairly crowded - especially the bottleneck by the bar between the front and back rooms - but sharp eyes can normally guarantee you a table at most times.

Also, it's very dog friendly - there's almost always at least one dog in there - which is probably good if you like dogs.

A nice if slightly small pub and restaurant right by the riverside. The staff are friendly and competent, the decor nice (but a little twee) and there's a veranda out back overlooking the river (great in summer). The speciality is fish and very good it is too.
