Walrus & Carpenter

The service was Ok, but when we went at 12.30 lunchtime there was hardly any choice if food, they did not have any of the starters we wanted, and had run out of various mains, plus they bought the wrong wine! When the good came it was OK but very sparse on chips!!

Good as expected service was good

Tradtional pub/dining room venue. Good service and good food.

Really enjoyable, traditional pub grub, freshly cooked, good service.

The food was excellent - and really good value for money. Service was attentive without being pushy.

Based upon my experience of very enjoyable lunches (as a member of a small group) in the restaurant twice during the past year, I booked a table for three for lunch on Tues 9th August. The menu offers a wide choice of starters, main dishes and desserts, not to mention the sharing platters and the speciality dishes, all of which are very well prepared and presented. On this occasion we all chose the special burger recommendation and were very pleased with this choice. There is a good choice of beers, wines and other drinks available. Being on the first floor, the dining room, which has its own bar and a large number of tables, has many large windows and is thus light and airy. The table at the far end overlooks the main road and also has a direct view of The Monument. The service is good, with cheerful and attentive waitresses/servers. This restaurant is popular and caters for pre-booked business lunches, as well as for the casual visitors/tourists. It has a good ambiance. On the ground floor is the pub, which is also very popular and crowded, for informal/casual drinks and meals. Before I retired I used to frequent the bar as a City businessman with colleagues at lunchtime or in the evening after work. By the way, it is in a prime position for The London Marathon, as it is alongside Lower Thames Street, part of the route. In short, I recommend The Walrus & the Carpenter.

Lunch with a friend. We've been before and as usual the food was of a high standard. Service friendly and efficient without being overbearing. Good value for money

Excellent food and service for 8 people
