The Gun - Menu

We've visited The Gun twice now, and don't assume it's a pub. It's a very proper restaurant with a modern take on British classics and an excellent service.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch at this restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious lamb shank and shared a chicken platter with all the sides. The restaurant is located right on the River, making it a popular spot. It would be great to dine outside during the summer months.

Six of us came to The Gun for lunch shortly before Christmas. We had a nice lunch. The food was good and the pub made a very nice change to the more corporate-y restaurants in Canary Wharf. The views are great, looking out over the water to the O2. The restaurant is also surprisingly easy to get to on foot. View menu

We had a child with us whose order got missed. By the time it finally arrived everybody else had finished their mains. Nothing was cleared from the table. By the end of the meal the glasses from the cocktails we started with were still uncleared on the table. Child’s desert came without a spoon and it took us ages to get one.

I don't know what happened to The Gun, but it was not as good as usual. I ordered the venison, which was dry, overcooked, and tasteless without any sauce. My husband had a bland burger with undercooked fries. We were greeted and served by five different people, and the service was impersonal, which is not the norm for The Gun. It's disappointing.

Met up with my dad here in the evening. Fantastic pub. Honestly it’s more of a restaurant. Ordered fish and chips, which does set you back £20, but it was genuinely the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Food came quickly, atmosphere was classy but definitely suitable for a quiet pub visit on a weekday. Pints were £7, so pretty standard London prices on that front. Would definitely recommend.

Once again our annual Christmas trip to England just wouldn't be the same without having Sunday roast at the Gun. This is the 6th year in a row we have been here on the Sunday before Christmas. We love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the friendly locals and the food that is always a cut above the average pub fare. This time we tried something new, a pot of gin, cucumber lemonade and it was really good. Our only disappointment was that they had run out of the roast chicken this year, which is our favorite, that said the roast beef was excellent. We will be back again next year !

Approaching The Gun you will have your doubts as to whether it was the right choice, as it simply, from the street looks like a back street London boozer. So wrong. Whilst the beer is overpriced £7.30 for a pint of Asahi Super Dry) even for London, the Sunday Roach Dinner was superb especially the lamb shank). My daughter said the beef was good, the lamb though was just wonderful. Service was fine, portions were a good size. The outside seating area, on this sunny Sunday, overlooking the ex-London Dock, was suitable for its purpose with, an additional plus being the live Jazz band accompanying lunch.

I have frequented this pub on numerous occasions over the years, but only for drinks. Recently, I decided to treat a friend to lunch here as I had always been impressed by the food menu. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We ordered the venison for £32 and were disappointed to find it overcooked. The pork dish, priced at £26, also suffered from being dry and tough, despite the delicious mash and gravy. While my friend's burger was satisfactory, the waitress discouraged us from ordering the ravioli, describing it as bland. This was not a great selling point for the chef. On a positive note, the crumble dessert was enjoyable. The pub offers a beautiful view and a nice atm... View menu
