On weekday lunchtimes, this swanky glass pavilion overlooking Southwark Cathedral and Borough Market is full of suits and well-heeled tourists. The interior is all hard surfaces under a tall ceiling, so business secrets can be shouted aloud in safety, barely heard even by the ears for which they were intended. It's noisy, but staff are friendly, the views are pretty, and sitting at the long bar overlooking the open kitchen is fun. The restaurant prides itself on using sustainable raw ingredients from trusted suppliers like its own fishmonger, Jarvis, in Surrey. At the core of the menu is a long list of fish - organic salmon, skate, tuna, lemon sole, Icelandic cod, plaice, and more, with seasonal specials too - which you can have steamed or grilled and served with a choice of dressing. Or there's great old-fashioned fish and chips (at modern prices). The mushy peas are among the finest we've tasted. We were surprised to find mushrooms in the 'Classic Fish Pie', but were satisfied nonetheless with its rich flavour and buttery mash crust. Takeaway fish and chips can be bought from the kiosk to the side of the restaurant for half the price.

Well lots of good news in advance, but to be honest food ok, service dreadful, forgot to tell us some of the things on the menu were out of stock, then forgot to note down all the main courses hence everyone else got served & 10 mins later finally admitted forgot to write it down so hence had to have a quick option as everyone else on with the meal. Unfortunately restaurant manager not interested. 12.5% service charge - hmm well!!
I have eaten in many top restaurants, but never so badly organised.
