About

This historic riverside establishment operates as a family-friendly pub and restaurant located on the Thames waterfront in Southwark. Dating back to 1676 when it was reconstructed following the Great Fire of London, the venue features multiple bars, a rooftop area, and a riverside garden that operates on a walk-in basis. The kitchen serves internationally influenced pub cuisine alongside traditional English fare, with food service running until 10:00pm daily. The establishment welcomes dogs throughout its premises, making it suitable for pet owners exploring central London attractions. Located near Borough Market, Shakespeare's Globe, and London Bridge, the venue provides a convenient rest stop for visitors touring the area with their four-legged companions. Additional amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi access and function room availability for private events. The venue accepts both advance reservations and walk-in guests, though booking is recommended for the main dining areas. Operating hours extend from 11:00am to 11:30pm, with the kitchen closing slightly earlier than the bar service.
