picture of Captain Kidd
This is a pretty respectable pub in a good location. It's built in an old warehouse and you wouldn't believe it hadn't been there for a hundred years but it really dates from the 80s (1980s that is). It's a Sam Smiths pub so there are no surprises with the drink - it's well kept and reasonably priced and the service is good. The bar food is average at best and there's a restaurant on the top floor - untried as yet by us, it needs to be better than the bar food to make it worthwhile. There are usually two floors you can drink on (the restaurant is on the 2nd), but sometimes the upstairs bar hosts private parties as do other bits of the bar and it's a good place for a party too. All the rooms have splendid views of the river, with large windows that open up in summer to provide a cooling breeze and there is a large terrace at the side of the pub.

Burger & chips and Steak & ale pie both at £5.95, both cheap, nasty microwaved fodder. If you can eat elsewhere, do.

Lovely pub this. I went recently (Feb 2010) and the bar food is still horrible, but there's a nice atmosphere in here. Nicely decorated as well, and great outdoor area I imagine in the summer.
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
