Nothing flash or fancy this is just a typical English pub serving honest food, a good choice of real ales and some nice lagers, that to be honest are mainly German or Belgian! Worth a visit, just a short walk from the Thames.

This place has had a refurb and does look better for it. It can still get cramped midweek evenings but attracts a different crowd at the weekend. In the past i've found it far too easy to set up camp on a Sunday afternoon and end up leaving a little worse for wear!
Groups: What's a new platform anyway?

We walked from Waterloo, all the way along the Southbank, crossed at Lambeth bridge, and then to the Tate Britain without seeing one pub doing a Sunday roast.
Thankfully my boyfriend remembered this pub just a little way down Millbank and it was serving Roasts!!
The interior seemed impressive and there was a number of tables outside. It was a beautiful Autumn afternoon and sitting inside would have been a great injustice to it so we took our place outside and awaited our late lunch.
The roast looked impressive, good size yorkshire pud, reasonable amount of beef, plenty of roast spuds and some freshly steamed vegies to go with, all topped with gravy. Unfortunately it was a little lukewarm in places and the meat was a bit dried out but otherwise it wasn't too bad. Maybe I have high standards as my Mum is the roast queen.
My boyfriend ordered the fish and chips and that looked a lot more impressive, with lovely golden chips and a fresh batch of tartare sauce on the side.
I didn't spend too much time lingering at the bar but I did notice they had Waggledance on tap.. Honey beer! Yum.
All in all, nice place for a pint in the sun.
