    Fantastic lunch with my sister who'd come up from Sussex for the day. Welcomed on arrival and allowed to chose a table. Prompt, polite service, food and drinks came very quickly. Excellent fish and chips, couldn't manage a pudding, but they all sounded nice. Would highly recommend this pub, they've got it so right, well done to all concerned, we'll be back.

    Great food, great service. I’ve been in plimsoll before because their burger. I couldn’t come back with some friends to let them try it too. We got 5 burgers but at the end we ordered 3 more with extra cheese and at the end they were even better. My friend was looking for bacon but for me the crunchiness of meat was enough. Very good balance of flavours. I tried many burgers but probably this is the best in London. I was a bit sad realising they removed the green salad with walnuts from the menu cuz it was really good but I understand can be because the seasonal changes etc. Another must to try are the potatoes with aioli. We also got other dishes but I would say these 2 were the best. The pub was full but the service was fast. The kitchen is not big but they are very organised. Same with table service, we had some requests and the blonde girl who served us was really nice and patient haha I forgot to asked her name for the mention Overall a great experience! Thank you guys!

    Lovely meal , but we thought that the tables that we were seating at were too small, not enough room to put out drinks and extra dishes we ordered
