We love this old place - it's a quaint, narrow, little pub in a very old terrace on the north bank of the river at Limehouse. There's a tiny terrace at the back that you can squeeze onto, if you're lucky, and enjoy views of Limehouse Reach and Rotherhithe. The beer's pretty good and the décor old and genuine. But there's more to it, there's a sort of timeless traditional atmosphere about the place and in an area where property booms and yuppiedom have wreaked their worst. The restaurant upstairs specialises in fish and it's pretty good too. If you do go, try and book the table that looks out over the river (you need to book anyway, it's pretty popular). The food is traditional seafood and is entirely dependent on what is good at the market that day. It's well presented, but can be a little pricey, downstairs in the bar the food is simpler and cheaper. The service is friendly and prompt and, with the beer setting and the fare on offer, what more could you want? It just looks, acts and feels like a proper English pub. It's just perfect for the area.

The food in the bar is traditional, good quality and well priced, upstairs in the restaurant, you will get traditional British seafood, expensive, but very good.
