A rare thing these days in London a traditional "local" pub, no airs no graces, good staff, decent beer and great Thai food all at an affordable price. Big on the sports front with multiple TVs, two pool tables and darts board and decent jukebox. Locals are friendly at one end of the bar with a quieter eating area at the other end of the bar. I've been told there is also a function area downstairs which can cater for up to 100 comfortably. All in all a great pub and also great if your going to either the Apollo or Lyric as its only a very short walk away from both.

Just a short 5 minute walk from the Eventrim Apollo. Great place to eat before an event. Extremely pleased with the service, quality of food and value for money. I wasn't that hungry at chicken satay with coconut rice - freshly prepared satay and the rice was amazing. Thank you for the great food and friendly service. We will definitely be coming back!

Visited here on Sunday whilst in the area. The pub is what you'd expect from a traditional British pub, with wooden walls, a fireplace and good quality beers. I ordered The Mothership Pie which was a steak and craft ale pie on a bed of mash potato, minted mushy peas, crispy onions and cheddar cheese on top. My food arrived within 10 minutes, was piping hot and tasty! The rugby was on during my time here with commentary playing so definitely a good place to enjoy a crisp pint, delicious pie and live sport! Would definitely recommend.

Great hidden gem for Thai food! We got the platter and a jungle curry, along with a pint and glass of wine, all for under £40. An absolute steal in London! Shoutout for their amazing spring rolls and crab cakes, as well as their very spicy Jungle curry. Would be happy to return

Since the last I came here, this pub has changed. The atmosphere has changed especially, I love it. They have pies and pizza which are very good. Service is excellent and I felt very welcomed. Shout out to the team leader, Dana!! She was so friendly and accommodating - definitely going to come again:)

Love this place! Great value and delicious Thai food (especially the egg fried rice, and beef rice) Friendly staff. Wanted to meet the cat but didn't see him this time. 🥲

It’s not a boutique pub but one of character and a friendly atmosphere with great service. I went twice in the week and brought friends who all enjoyed it. Amazing authentic fresh Thai food which is cooked quickly. I like the novelty of having a Thai curry with a good Guinness in an Irish pub in London. The location would be great except there’s still building works on the bridge with wooden walls around the outside seating but this can’t be helped. Not a bad walk from the nearest tube.

Had my birthday party here, booked the pool tables and a few tables around them. The staff were incredible, super helpful and friendly. Great vibes all evening. We were quite a large crowd but still didn't have to wait long for our food and the pizzas and pies were really tasty. Also would recommend their PBnJ shot! Thank you Freda for an amazing night!

Pleasantly surprised by the Thai food here, which was great! It's not the nicest looking pub inside with quite bright lights and lots of sport on, but the food was great and at £10.50 for a curry with rice, not too pricey. Drinks were very reasonable with a medium wine and pint of lager coming in at under £10. There's a nice cat walking around too.

Had a great pizza, pie, beer & red wine - with super service too! It's a little tricky to find with the bridge works - but it's well worth the effort!

A very nice pub with a real Lonfon vibe on the banks of Thames. A good selection of beers for all tastes and traditional pies to go with. The lady that served us was very kind and polite. Looking forward to return here when I'll travel again to London.
