Prospect of Whitby
-
Located on the Thames foreshore and dating from the 1520s, this old boozer has its original flagstone floor and a wonderful pewter bar from where you'll be served (grumpily, on our visit) Greene King IPA, London Pride, Old Speckled Hen and Timothy Taylor Landlord, as well as eight red and white wines by the glass. The noose hanging outside is a reference to one of its most famous customers - 'Hanging' Judge Jeffreys. These days you're more likely to be jostling for a seat with locals and tourists looking for one of the popular roast dinners. Find a spot overlooking the river out on the terrace or upstairs in the Pepys Room where there's an open fire and - located on a shelf - a human ulna bone found in the pub.

NOT IMPRESSED at all! Have been to this pub in the past (a few years back) took the parents for lunch there today, what a shame!! It's a lovely old pub and obviously has a load of history! Very busy, got a table, ordered food and was told by the bar staff it would take an hour! I ordered Roast Dinner - Half a Chicken (on the menu its listed as Roast Dinner, served with all the trimmings) Parents ordered Moules with fries. Food arrived as promised an hour later, parents moules and fries and the waiter (doesnt speak very good english) brought my plate ............ Chicken, chips, salad and spicy sauce!? I told him I had asked for a Roast Chicken Dinner and he said YES!!! So it turns out if you order a Roast Chicken Dinner you wont receive one you will receive Chicken with spicy sauce chips and salad!??? WTF is that all about!!!! I told him to take it away as I wasnt going to eat it! We got our money back, the staff at the bar (could speak English) told us this is how its served, why not be specific on the menu PLEASE!!? A waitress came to clear the table she stacked up the plates of finshed moules in such a way that she spilt the sauce all over the table, chairs, floor and herself! Clever!!! What a shame, this pub could be a little goldmine! I wont be going there again!
Prospect ofhitby?? No wonder I couldn't find Prospect of Whitby in the search file.
Obviously a little typo but needs correcting. Thanks.
