Old Salt Quay, Rotherhithe

A fine waterside pub for a hot sunny day; seasonal BBQ on the terrace wafts saliva-inducing meat smoke across the garden. Beer in good condition and the friendly barman even offered to top my pint up to the line without being asked. Down to earth clientele were friendly.

The Mayflower, Rotherhithe

Wonderfully evocative 17th century interior and securely fenced timber jetty outside at the level of high Spring tides; views over to the Prospect of Whitby. The quality of the food matched that of the customers quite well. Both were as sophisticated as they were hot. Beer fine but nothing worth casting a spar to get at.
