Nice big pub in the DocksBig "old" 3 storey pub with wooden beams and lots of room inside. Right in the middle of St Kaths docks so it gets a lot of tourist trade. Outdoor area is not great (in front of the pub and enclosed from the dock) but I regularly enjoy a few pints inside - some comfy chairs if you're there early.]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:58:45 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1u92b7u/dickens-inn1697908628 akl5_tp pizza outdoor area st katharines docks modern pub standard pub food 51.505746859908 -0.073502020273486 Rocket http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1088c8/rocket

Upstairs restaurant is goodNot a bad place. Bar downstairs gets horribly overcrowded and I'm not 1 for trying to fight my way past tightly packed groups to get a drink. However the restaurant upstairs is good and twice the size of the bar - big portions and good simple food. Pizzas are a specialty there!]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:50:26 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1088c8/rocket343669382 akl5_tp posh large portions british good value trendy 51.512322598413 -0.14672627971221 Black & Blue http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o02h8k/black-and-blue

Good steak, bad booking policyHaving read reviews on other branches of this steak house I was eagerly anticipating making a visit to their Borough restaurant. However was disappointed that I couldn't book a table (apparently it's their policy not to take bookings of anything less than a "group", whatever that means). I do understand that making a booking for a restaurant equals turning up on time, and so was disappointed when 4 of us arrived 7.15 on Tues night, to be told that the wait was 45-50mins!! My fellow diners convinced me to hang around, however after 65mins we were almost ready to walk away, only to be shown to a table after a few evil stares at the "maitre d" (who really needs to be shown the ropes of such a role).
Anyway the food - the steak was good, service not bad either, but in hindsight would I have waited 65min for what we got? Probably not.]]> Wed, 04 Apr 2007 10:02:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o02h8k/black-and-blue1037305888 akl5_tp lively borough steak 51.505154256795 -0.092259872468106 The Captain Kidd http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1j2zr8/the-captain-kidd

This is a great riverside pub and you can be sure that the outdoor part will be packed come the first weekend of sun in London... Pub downstairs has a good amount of room, the restaurant upstairs serves great gastropub food. As 1 of my locals, I will be frequenting the CK in the months to come!]]> Tue, 03 Apr 2007 10:25:11 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1j2zr8/the-captain-kidd1963564554 akl5_tp riverside 51.502837275284 -0.060656483825273
