My favorite is the wings n sea bass in prawn butter! One of "nice things" is London does not accept tips:)))). The reason subway is 3times more expensive than in New York???

    We didn't really venture too far from London proper during our recent trip to the city, but decided…read moreit was worth the time to visit The Greenwich Union for a Sunday roast. The establishment has a nice mixture of cozy and airy, which was perfect for a lazy(ish) Sunday. I hate to use this word, but I'll use it anyway (because I can't think of a better descriptor): the service here is "super" friendly, and very knowledgeable, particularly regarding the ales on tap. The barkeep gave us a few sample pours without waiting for us to ask, which we greatly appreciated. Because of that, we were more than happy with the pints we ordered. Moving on to the food: the roasts were delicious, in particular the pork loin, which was moist and flavorful. I enjoyed my roast beef as well. The Yorkshire pudding was wonderful and I might have been just as happy eating that alone for my meal, to be honest. The pub is in walking distance of the touristy areas of Greenwich, so it's easy enough to put some good food in your belly and continue on to your sightseeing, afterward.

    So, this was quite an adventure! I had organised a dinner…read moreand a movie Valentines day date with 18 friends to see Deadpool. As this year V-Day happened to fall on a Sunday, I was struggling to bookna large table, despite starting to call around a full month before the event. I called almost every restaurant in the O2 and received a shower of nopes. Finally, the man I talked to on the phone at the Harvester said it wouldn't be a problem, so I booked the table for 6pm. The Wednesday before our planned outing I called them again to confirm the table. The man I spoke to seemed rushed, but he confirmed my booking, so I figured all was good to go. However, when I arrived on Sunday, a little early to get organised before everyone showed up, they had no record of a large booking. The restaurant was incredibly busy and there was a long queue outside... Great! I spoke to the manager and she looked through their booking system to see if it was put on the wrong day, but couldn't find anything either. She took down the details of when I made my calls so she could inquire with her staff and asked us to wait a little so she could make enough room for our large group. Despite it being one of their busiest day, she made it happen! Within fifteen minutes we had a large table for those of us who had shown up early, ten minutes after that we had further tables nearby to accommodate the rest of our group. I was very impressed with how well the manager handled the situation, so extra stars for that! The food was unremarkable but enjoyable, regular pub-style fare. Unfortunately they were out of a few items, but seeing as it was Sunday evening on a super busy weekend, I can't fault them for that. All in all we were quite content with our meal here.

    Do not come here if you are vegetarian…read more Went here for a Christmas meal with friends and ordered the vegetarian option of batterered halloumi. When it arrived it looked suspiciously similar to the cod batter so I asked if it was cooked in the same fryer (being allergic to fish I didn't want to take the risk), and found out from a very annoyed manager that all the chips and fried foods EVEN VEGETARIAN are cooked with the fish! The disgruntled manager took back the food and had the chef cook everything in the "gluten free" fryer which apparently didn't have fish in it. After leaving the restaurant pissed at the way I was treated, I was also sick because clearly this magical gluten free fryer isn't so fish free after all. This is therefor making the "vegetarian" options invalid and almost causing people with fish allergies to have a reaction. Apparently all the harvesters are the same according to the manager, so they lie to their customers about the food (is that legal?!), and they definitely aren't happy when you call them out on it.

    You've been to a couple riverside pubs in the area only to find them all teeming with yuppie-types,…read moremonopolising every last bit of glorious patio space on what is perhaps the last sunny day of a summer that's done its best to cling on desperately to sunshine and mild temperatures. You just want to enjoy it, I know. I know. So when you can't even get a space INSIDE one of the aforementioned riverside pubs, and you didn't really want to eat oysters on your Sunday pub outing anyway - you rich a-holes - you head a little farther south. A little farther into the Isle of Dogs. Farther into the unknown. But then you can happen upon the Pepper Saint Ontiod, and it will be a happy day that you do. So the building appears to have been brought to life in Thatcherite Britain, like many of the buildings on the dreary Isle of Dogs, but its austere and utilitarian architecture belies the Pepper Saint's idiosyncratic personality. The mismatched furnishings and accessories from various decades and eras creates a pub pastiche that endears rather than cloys. And on sunny days, you'll find an armchair or two outside on the concourse overlooking the dock - along with some dedicated outdoor furniture of course. The food here is consistently inexpensive and invariably satisfying. Gastropub fare, this is not. But stop by for a light pub lunch or a proper Sunday roast, and you're sure to leave satiated. Add to this a better-than-average variety of drinks on tap along with a wine menu and high-quality spirits alongside neighbourly good service behind the bar, and you can't ask for much more in a pub. Oh, but /THERE'S MORE/ you also get a pool table and table football upstairs (along with more comfortable furniture sprawling the impressive floor space) and a totally hip soundtrack rocking the indie disco with tracks from the Jackson 5 to Portishead to Two Door Cinema Club. I'd say this pub belongs in a place like fashionable East London rather than the Docklands, but then - if it were - I'd never want to go. You see, I'd probably never get a chance to sit on one of the Chesterfields, filled as they'd surely be with moustachioed 20-somethings wearing low-cut vests, leering at me smugly from their ever-present positions on them. So here's to you, Pepper Saint. And stay just the way you are - malapropos in Millwall.

    This place is good for a roast. The pork was thick cut slices with decent crackling on the edges…read more Roast potatoes were nice and crispy. Yorkshire pudding was good. Could have done with a pot of thicker gravy to put on all of it. It comes with plenty of gravy on the plate but it was a bit thin for me. The meat was great though so I wasn't complaining. I also tried the chicken which was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside as it should be. Don't be put off by the building from the outside. It is relaxed and friendly on the inside and has a pool table upstairs and board games. In the summer you can sit out round the side and look out over the dock. Worth trying the berry crumble with ice cream good to top off a meal. Bit of an odd place but worth going to. Staff are friendly and beer selection is good.
