Great experience at this floating restaurant/bar on the Thames River, dubbed Pub on the Thames. Two topside bars on both ends of the ship - Aft Deck Bar and Fore Deck Bar - love the names. We ordered an Aperol Spritz and a craft beer at the Fore Deck Bar and looked at the million dollar river view with the London Eye in the background. We then went below deck to a table and ordered BBQ chicken wings which were great. Every table was filled with happy customers. There was a third bar on this lower floor and the decor was simple with dim lighting. Definitely recommend this unique bar after an Uber boat tour of the Thames River. read more

Spotted this boat bar on the other side of the river, from the London Eye. Adorable British boat themed bar, and restaurant which had seating inside and outside overlooking the river. Service outside was self-serve at the bar where we ordered our first drinks. Since it was chilly and windy outside, we decided to go below deck and have a bite to eat. Ordered a couple more drinks and some chicken wings which were delicious. read more

It's a restaurant/bar on a ship permanently moored on the River Thames, which is very cool. We happened by it, and it was the right time to grab a cocktail or 2. We just ended up with one each, but we were prepared for more in case. My wife had a Pimms and lemonade, and I made do with a highball tequila and soda water. The weather was excellent, and we sat on the starboard side near the water. The Tattershall was afloat, so when other ships passed, their wake made the Tattershall roll with the waves. It was like being underway but not. Bartenders were excellent, and service was just fine. It is highly recommended when walking along the north bank. read more

We checked into our hotel which is very close to The Tattershall Castle and were highly recommended to dine here as we asked for some nearby recommendations to walk a bit outside of hotel. The restaurant has entry access from the Main Street that leads to the Parliament, right across on the other side from the London Eye. There is seating upstairs outside or downstairs inside. The restaurant is like a boat; therefore, the experience will be that of swaying as if the boat is moving since it is anchored yet does feel the wave movements so do ensure you do not get dizzy when on boats as this will be the feeling if one is not used to it or sensitive to it. The views of the Thames River of the London Eye and surroundings with its lighting were a fabulous way to begin this return to London after some years. The fish and chips were amazing! The batter and fried level were excellent as the fish was actually able to be tasted, and was delicious. I was allowed to make the modification of chips to sweet potatoes and was a fantastic change as it was a bit healthier and satisfied a craving. The rib eye was also great. Espresso martini sundae was delicious!! Highly recommend. read more

The ambiance was relaxing for me. The bar/restaurant is on ship that is moored at Victoria Embarkment. While on the boat, you can feel the gentle rocking back and forth of the water. I thought to myself that it would not feel as good if I happened to overdrink. The view of Westminster, Big Ben and the London Eye is wonderful. It's a great spot for taking pictures. I tried their fish and chips. The fish was lightly fried and not greasy at all. The chips were not too thick or too thin and slightly salted. There were green peas as well. I had a few coupes of spumante. One of the bar tenders did not know understand me when I ordered it and had a very unusual way of pronouncing spumante. They do not have table service for ordering drink or food although the food is delivered to the table after you order it. read more

Really cool ambiance on the Thames River across from The London Eye. A old looking battleship boat that was converted to a bar. Great views of the river and skyline , decent food selection we had fries and some sausages that were very good. Pick your own table and order at the bar , sometimes the line got long but the service was fast. read more

So I showed up about 5 minutes early for my reservation and went to the bookings booth and asked a woman about my reservation and she said she was not the person that handles that. I walked over to the bar and that person took me back to the bookings booth where another woman was there. She said she did not have the details of my reservation. I showed her the e-mail I had reminding me of my reservation in 24 hours. She said she could not honor it. There was not really a care to be had. I am a tourist and not a local. I think it's more a place for locals and tourists are not welcome. I cannot rate the food or ambiance properly because I was turned away. But the service was dreadful. read more

We found this place in a rain storm. It was a great stroke of luck. Beautiful view of the Eye and south London. Our server, Loom was wonderful. We were soaked and looked horrible but he made us feel right at home!! He had his hands full with a huge table but still was on top of our orders. We had the mussels and fish & chips. They were so tasty! The fish was a large piece of haddock that had a beautiful crispy exterior and perfectly cooked inside. The drinks were generous. We had the crumble of the day for dessert. It was apples & berries with warm custard. Not too sweet. It was excellent. After dinner, it had stopped raining so we spent some time on the upper deck bar enjoying the night lights. All in all it turned a seemingly bad night into a great experience! Thank you. read more

Cool views of the river as the bar is on a pretty large boat not far from embankment. Good views of Big Ben and the London eye. But the views are definitely the best part. As for drink options, it's pretty much your standard options. A couple lagers, a pilsener and a pale ale. They did have some Pimm's options which were a bonus for Pimm's drinkers. Although the boat is actually very sizable, it's not all that nicely decorated and it moves about in the water far more than you might anticipate. My wife who sometimes gets motion sickness was fine through about 1/2 of her first beer but struggled to finish the beer due to the rocking of the boat. It was cool to try but I don't think I would really go back. read more

The fish and chips are good, but honestly, the Rekirderlig Mango Raspberry Cider is to die for!! Once back in the states, I'm searching this baby out... seriously delicious like no other. The upper deck is great for enjoying the outside elements and ambiance, but if you go down below deck, there is a dining area that is both elegant and casual. I love the atmosphere here. The only thing slightly confusing is where do you sit, and where's the hostess? Well, no worries, that's why I'm here. Just walk right around the corner toward the bar and ask to be seated. The staff were very talkative and gracious, providing information and fun casual conversation. We sat under the porthole and had a great view of the London Eye across the River Thames. Beautiful. Please, if you're looking for an interesting pub that floats on water and for some fish & chips, stop by here. So much fun, that coming from a tourist. Enjoy your stay, and Happy Touristing! read more

Getting hungry the evening of our arrival in London from San Francisco California. While walking along the Thames River in Westminster neighborhood came upon Tattershall Castle--our lucky day! Had delightful fish and chips and a pint of Guinness stout, with a view of the vibrant happenings in the area: "The Eye" lit up in pink (Pink Eye.?.), motor boat traffic, trains on the Jubilee Bridge, Big Ben striking the hour, and afterwork revelers unwinding all around us. All very memorable and a perfect start to our London adventure! read more

A bit loud and crowded on the foredeck, but we found the aft bar was mostly empty and lots of seating. A great place to have a pint around sunset and watch the boats go by while you gently rock on the Thames. Pimm's and Lemonade on tap for a quick refresher after a long day of walking! read more

We walked across the bridge from The London Eye as we had spotted this restaurant while on the river cruise boat and thought we'd check it out for dinner. Very brisk outside so stepped to restaurant on lower level of the boat. It took a while for us to have somebody actually come to our table, we had to ask the bartender to have somebody come over as we wanted to order dinner and have some beers. The waiter came over and seemed to have a language barrier as when we asked for two tall glasses of Guinness, he responded what? We told him that we wanted two glasses of beer, and he still didn't seem to understand what we were asking for. We went to the bar and ordered the beers; they were out of Guinness so we asked for another ale instead. We sat drinking the beers, but nobody ever returned to the table to ask how we were doing and never brought menus or asked if we wanted to order dinner. Would have given a lower review had the bartender not helped us in locating a spot to grab a taxi - even that didn't go well as we had to walk a couple blocks up the street to a hotel where the valet out front hailed us a taxi. Location right on the Thames is great. I am sure that in better weather the top deck would be ideal, but on this cold and very slow night I would've expected better service with as little customers they had. read more

Our second visit to this 'unique' hostelry on the greatest river in the world, The Thames. Being a Londoner, I suppose I would say that. This visit was on an early Friday evening so, as expected, a slightly more loud crowd than previously. Nothing wrong with that but, it fascinates me that, above all the noise a voice always comes across. This night was the time for a middle aged guy, he boomed for a few hours and got louder as the bottles went down . However, this boat is still a great stop off if you are wandering the North Embankment by Elizabeth Tower. Great service, reasonable prices and a wonderful view. read more

This is one of the most unique places to drink in London. Belying its name, the Tattershall Castle is a boat moored on the Thames There's a bar on the open deck and what a view you have! Moored between Westminster and Hungerford bridges, you get a grand view of the London Eye, Old County Hall, the houses of parliament and Big Ben, the backs of various Whitehall departments and a little of the South Bank centre peeking over Hungerford Bridge and the Jubilee bridge Drink prices are high but I suppose quite a lot of it is for that spectacular view. There are only limited bar snacks to nibble on, so I suggest stopping here for a drink to impress the date/family/friends before heading off to surrounding areas like Chinatown or Soho for a better meal read more

Located conveniently in front of the London Eye proving to be a great view. The fish and chips, keep in mind is extremely large! It's the size of the plate, horizontally! The chips are acceptable and the peas good. The calamari was delicious, do get those. read more

*I'm reviewing for the Comedy nights, rather than just the bar...as the best thing about this boat is the giggles!!* I love the boat show! I've been a few times, and the comedians have always been fantastic! You need to let them know you're coming in advance, especially if you want to join them at the weekend. The staff are all complete sweeties...they even gave me a free glass of bubbles last night to celebrate my birthday! (^^) Food wise: If you're a lightweight, remember to eat before you get there at the weekend! They only have crisps at the bar, and drinking on an empty tummy in a rocking boat can make you feel tipsy very quickly! However if you don't mind comedy on a school night, there were some awesome cheese or meat platters on offer on Mondays. **Oooh plus, if you sign up for their mailing list, you get free chocolate. If you have already signed up, but smile sweetly, they might even give you chocolate anyway - Yay!! Find out more here: http://www.boatshowcomedy.co.uk/ read more

Great food, beer, and view of the London Eye......what more can first time visitor to London ask for?!?! We stopped here after spending most of the day walking around the city. We found a table outside on the deck and sat there and looked over the menu. You have to order downstairs at the bar and you give them your table number and they come bring you the food. The bartenders were very helpful and patient with all my questions. I wanted to go all British, so I went with fish and chips and mushy peas and an English beer. When the food came it looked great and tasted even better. The fish was fried perfectly....crispy outside and tasty inside. The mushy peas even tasted really good. The atmosphere of this place is great. It's right on the river and there is a great view of the London Eye. It was a nice day out, so it felt great sitting outside and enjoying the sites. The boat sometimes rocks which can sometimes be a bit much, but it wasn't too bad and we got used to it pretty quickly. read more

Ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. Waiter came with the bottle and put it down on the table. Didn't even ope the bottle (screw top) nor did we even sample or taste. Had the steak for dinner.

DRINK. ENJOY THE VIEW. DON'T EAT. After a day of exploring, we came upon this old moored boat on the Thames that has an amazing view of the London Eye, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, among other things. ATMOSPHERE: We sat outside on the upper deck, which was lovely as the weather was a bit breezy, but sunny. Folks seemed local. The boat rocks a bit, so if you get seasick, this might be a deterrent for you. DRINKS: We eat had a Guinness. It was great. FOOD: We just wanted a snack, so we split the Prime Beef Burger. It was terrible. Even my human garbage disposal husband didn't like it. Now, that's saying something. It was served with flavorless skinny fries. PRICE: About £24 all in. read more

An interesting pub but so sad. I can remember the days when she was a Humber ferry and we could drink going across to Hull at 8am (If we wanted) and got stuck on sandbanks. Steamboat Stomps with Jazz bands and trips up the humber. With a great engine to turn that wheel it is so sad she is moored on the Embankment. read more

Stumbled across this docked bar while exploring London during my first trip to Europe. The view is gorgeous and it's a really cute spot for a quick happy hour drink. Lost a star because the bartender was very young (looked like a child) and messed up my drink. The other bartender happily remade it though without charge. It's a nice pit stop if you're in the area and I recommend it to anyone who wants a food view of the London eye lit up at sunset. read more

If you wanted to tear up the cogs of our nation in a fit of anti-bureaucratic rage (or just for malevolent fun) then phuut-phuuting down the Thames with a few tugs at 6pm on a Friday and dragging The Tattershall Castle off to Rockhall or somewhere would be a good step. Why? Because this floating pub is an end-of-week mega-magnet to the civil service, drawing our beloved and besuited pencil-pushers out over the water for Kronenbourgs and companionship. It's the Whitehall version of the sunday amahs get-together of Hong Kong, but with a lot more lager and a lot less Filipino card-playing. Bless them. Civil Servants need booze too. And if you are lucky enough to know a few, perhaps you too will spend your Friday night standing on the deck of a crowded boat chugging wet lager from flexible plastic glasses. The view IS pretty amazing, but nothing else is worth the trip other than to be with friends who've already chosen to come here. read more

It's hard to get a better view than a bar on a BOAT! Or, more likely a boat that is an entire BAR! Either way, it rocks...um, literally. Right across the London eye and near Embankment and Westminister tube it's a perfect location to have a Sunday Funday. Or any day, if you're a student looking to procrastinate. Went here twice in one weekend (a very sunny weekend, I might add), enjoyed some delicious Sol, met some great people and had too many bottles of wine (here, the rocking doesn't help your balance at all). read more

Beer on a boat is quite a nice novelty. The Tattershall castle seems to be one of those places people come to when they first move to London but then not so much. Most of us had stories of coming here once or twice way back. Kozel is better than a lot of lagers...you do pay a bit more for location here though! read more

Turn right out of Embankment and go under the bridge and you'll arrive at the Tattershall Castle, a large boat moored on the Thames which is a brilliant venue during the few hot summer days we get in this country. Basking on the upper deck with a group of mates is a brilliant way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon. Drinks are okay for what is a pretty big tourist magnet, the food they offer is a bit pricey for the quality but again it's being able to drink outside in good weather which will draw you there. Plus with large rooms downstairs for when it rains or gets cold and with a nightclub on Friday and Saturdays this is quite a brilliant and different venue for Londoners and tourists alike. read more

It's a boat on a pub and it floats on that premise a long way (see what I did there...). The place itself is fine and gimmicky - but the wine was terrible and the queue for the bar (20 mins) was interminable. If nothing else, the pouring of our bottle of wine into a plastic jug when we headed into the club was good for a laugh. They could have mentioned that when we bought a bottle at last orders though... read more

On a sunny and warm day head down to this pub moored on the Thames right by Embankment station, yes that's right moored, since this is actually on a boat. With a beautiful view on the London Eye, ample outdoor seating, and a slight rocking feeling, what else could you ask for on a beautiful day in London. The pub itself, sells food and drinks at pretty standard prices and options, but it's the terrace and views that really make this place. It can get a bit touristy due to its perfect location, but if you head down here after 6 on a week day you will notice that the crowd will mainly consist of after-work people. I would steer clear from here on a cold or rainy day, even though it does have an enclosed downstairs area, but it just feels stuffy and unwelcoming. Just make you way down here to enjoy some sunshine and order a big jug of pimms with fresh fruit once the weather starts to change. mmmmmmm... Is it too soon for summer? read more

A bar....that floats...on the Thames. 'Nuff said. Really though, how awesome is this place? On a sunny day with a view of Big Ben and the London Eye, it doesn't get much better in London. Good selection of beer and bartenders were really friendly. It's a floating bar, people...just go. read more

I particularly like the location of this pub on a ferry moored on the Thames by Victoria Embankment, with lovely views of the London Eye, Big Ben and the Hungerford Bridge. However the private function room on the Bridge really needs better aircon. It has one single aircon by the bar and really is not enough. In hot weather the room is hot and stuffy and made worst by the windows not opening. Perhaps, if they had windows that opened, it would be much better, especially looking from the bridge is an open deck area which unfortunately it is only for show and cannot be used. The fare is typical pub grub. The host booked the silver set menu, which consisted of large cut sandwiches, cocktail sausages, chicken wings, kebabs, fries, mini burgers and a cheese platter. All actually very nice, and did the trick to feed a drinks party. The views from the Bridge is great though and at sunset, it is lovely. read more
