Stumbled across this lovely pub as I was staying the hotel next door and looking for somewhere nice for dinner. The staff were lovely and friendly, managed to find me a table even though I hadn't booked, and the service was excellent. The menu has a decent selection including vegetarian dishes and vegan options. It was a Monday night and the place was quite busy and the atmosphere was lively and friendly. Wish I had a local like this, and highly recommend it especially if you're staying at the Doubletree by Hilton Docklands Riverside hotel and want to eat and drink somewhere with a bit more life to it!

Our need for a late lunch and a pint on a Saturday had us looking for something good. Canary Wharf is mostly tourist and business-focused, but we wanted something more local. This pub definitely filled the bill. The barkeeps were very friendly and helpful. The food (sausage and mash; a side of chips) were very well presented and delicious. The overall atmosphere is great and the decor has that perfect touch if classic and comfort. Aside from the fact that the tap is rather limited and they didnt have BT Sports (so no footy on a Saturday afternoon?!), we still would recommend.

I had a lovely pub dinner here with my husband. Everything from the starter, to the main course and dessert was sumptuous.I didn’t expect the Salt and Pepper Squid Salad to be so flavourful. It was a delightful surprise.The Beer-Battered Fish and Chips was superb. Really fresh, light and not oily at all.The Sticky Toffee Pudding was still warm when it was served, and the vanilla ice cream that went with it had actual vanilla beans in it. So lush.The restaurant had a cosy ambience and was squeaky clean as well. The servers were all wearing masks and gloves too. Very good COVID safety protocols.I can say that it’s one of the best pubs I’ve been to. I’ll definitely visit again.

A pretty decent pub that’s not in the middle of a big thoroughfare so it’s got a cosy, relaxed vibe.The bar just put like an island, splitting the space in two. Warm wooden tables with decent amounts of space on the one side and more bar-like space on the other.The staff are fine, not overly-friendly but quick and efficient. The food comes quickly too.Drinks wise, the selection won’t blow you away but there is a good amount on tap (cider, ale, etc). Similarly the food isn’t anything to write home about, but things like chips with truffles and Parmesan are only 50p more than regular chips and a decent size.All in all, a nice place to hang out with friends for a casual evening at a decent price.

Lovely pubs with some nice food. We ordered the pie and Thai green curry. Food was very good, fairly decent quantities. We were in the outdoor seating area which was small but nice. Staff were good and accommodating. Prices were reasonable for the area. I would recommend it.

Overcharged for what we got.We waited an hour for 3 burgers to arrive (it was close to 9pm by the time they arrived and we got there around 7.45pm).. in the meantime watching everyone else around us getting served and being asked if dessert was needed. Nobody came to check with us until we were so hungry got up to ask about our order.The staff kindly offered £9.29 off (not sure how this was decided) but the overall experience could have been much better. After all £15 a burger is not exactly 'cheap'.We also asked for tap water (on top of beers) and saw the water being poured into a jug from the tap, but what we didn't realise until we left was that we were charged £3 for 'still water'!The place looked nice, the atmosphere is nice, everyone else seemed to be enjoying their time and getting their order... but we probably won't be coming back.
