Came for my birthday dinner. Place unique for its history, and it's Riverside location. Place was very busy, but I had a reservation from a couple of months ago, and we had a nice window view of the river! It is the typical order at the bar arrangement, but the delivery of our food was prompt and courteous. There is not a lot of choices for vegans, so we got salads, mint and pea soup, vegan chili, and chocolate cake with vegan ice cream (with a candle, since I mentioned birthday with my reservation). Food was all very good.
My partner and I had a wonderful time at The Prospect of Whitby. The atmosphere was beautiful, but the food was the real highlight. The fish and chips were delicious, and the pulled mushroom chilli was outstanding. We also couldn't resist the desserts Sticky Toffee Pudding, which were absolutely incredible! A huge thank you to our waitress, Tilly. She was so kind, funny, and really made us feel right at home. Great vibes, great food, and fantastic service. We will definitely be back!
We came here for the Sunday roast - food and service were both amazing. Anvi was very lovely and helped us with all our requests. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious, may be a tad too sweet for some but we enjoyed it. The Yorkshire pudding was not the best we have had but the rest of the food was very good!
Great English Pub. An amazing place right on the Thames with both upstairs and downstairs courtyards with views across the river. History abounds with stories about past customers reaching from the 1700s until more recent time. A nice touch is a hanging gallows out the back paying homage to the local 'hanging judge's that used to frequent the pub. The staff are super friendly, even when super busy. A great selection of beers and whilst not cheap, it is not stupid expensive. Absolutely worth a visit, I will be going back next time I am in town.
Classic old London pub right on the river in a nice neighbourhood. Inside is well decorated, a quirky building, nice staff and cool dining rooms and terrace areas. Good views of Canary Wharf and Limehouse to the east, as well as south of the river. Great fish and chips, worth a visit and a nice place to go for lunch, dinner or just a pint. The space outside is nice in summer, and it’s very cosy inside in winter.
