Fountain and Ink in Southwark

I had the double smash burger the other week and I have to say it was the best burger I’ve ever had in my life. I made a point of letting staff know the chef should be recognised for and absolutely amazing burger. If you find your self here, have the smash burger, you won’t regret it.

friendly conversation and service by mateo and adam! 10/10 wld come back

Nice old pub with a good atmosphere. Just had drinks.

Friendly staff. Served by Matao... Super helpful and the food was amazing.. as thier sign on the riverside says " the best fish and chips" certainly the nicest I have had for ages

Was here yesterday with friends for a few drinks. Everything was fairly nice but what made it really nice was the beautiful woman giving me wistful looks from the next table! If it was you, get in touch!

Came in for a drink ended up eating. Food is well presented and tasty. First time here but we will be back when we’re in the area. Totally recommend.

Really good venue, food was amazing - Mac and cheese was out of this world. Jay is a great manager and leads a great team! Jamie is an equally good supervisor, needs a bit of training but he’s funny

It was amazing food and drink BUT the best was the amazing 5* customer service from the exotic gentleman with the hat ( apologies I forgot his name) he was on top of his game with the customer services!

Was walking towards Waterloo from Southbank when we stumbled upon a sign for 'fish n' chips' and thought we'd check it out. We had two kids with us, and despite not being set up for families, they tried hard to accommodate our needs and provided our son with a free dessert. Food was great all round, nice friendly and cosy place. My only slight gripe was that the chef told us our sons food was free, but we were charged on the bill when i checked it later. We may have misheard him or it wasn't communicated with barstaff, but other than this slight mix up, we had a great time :)

Very nice pub, they do good meals but in excess of £16 for cheapest meal

Picturesque English-style pub, which has delicious traditional British dishes on the menu. We ate pan-fried broccoli, pan-fried prawns and excellent fish and chips!!!!! The homemade french fries are exceptional!

A Lovely Evening - Food was Outstanding and so was the Service from Molly!

Loving the Fountain and ink. A big thumbs up from me.

Gluten-free fish and chips!!! They are very good. Good beer and wine selection. Friendly service.

Went mid week with a group of friends for dinner and drinks. Very good with food allergies. Gluten Free Fish and Chips is lush!! Service is great. The manager Jay is brilliant. Really friendly and makes a fantastic Porn Star Martini.!!!

Called in for a quick bite to eat before starting the James Bond experience, the food was perfect and the staff could not do enough to help.

Jay was amazing and a fantastic host

Great spot for drinks after work. Food is good too. I got a mythical orange Padron pepper!

Precioso pub situado cerca de la Ribera Sur. La hamburguesa de pollo era genial y a medida que la noche se acercaba en el ambiente era genial con un montón de disfrutar de bebidas después del trabajo en el pavimento. Incluso tengo una mítica pimienta Padron naranja. Lo recomendaría.

Had a great time at this pub, thanks to Adam the halloumi fries were delicious! And so was the dessert ! Will be coming back again

The best desert I have ever eaten in London so far. Adam was really nice and friendly, he definitely deserves a raise.

very good meal. Rachael gave us a warm welcome for our family table!

Best fish and chips ever! Rachael was incredible and completely elevated our experience!

Slightly off the usual tourist path this gem serves up great food at a decent price-definitely worth a small detour to enjoy

great staff - great venue - great location! will go back again in the future!

It's a great venue, cozy and authentic pub. The staff and service is amazing, and the food is delicious. They have vegan and gluten free options as well, for food and beers.

Great vibes, staff are all lovely and a great range of drinks too

La mejor noche en el F & I - Molly no podría haber sido más útil durante toda la noche y realmente hizo nuestra noche! Sin duda volveremos!

Es el segundo año consecutivo que Molly ha ayudado a que nuestro evento funcione perfectamente. En el pasado, el personal ha sido bastante inútil, ya que es un evento muy ocupado y claramente estresante para la gente que trabaja allí, pero Molly se inclina hacia atrás para nosotros y no puede hacer lo suficiente. Con la ayuda de Jay este año, fue el más suave que ha sido. Gracias a ambos y a su personal. Estaremos en contacto para marzo de 2026 una vez que tenga la fecha confirmada. Gracias de nuevo, Nancy.

Molly went out of her way to seat us, feed us and make sure we had something to drink. The food was all amazing except the chicken wings a bit dry, but I’m putting that down to a busy night and they missed the timing, all the other food was perfect. We came with our 5 year old and she smashed her plate of fish and chips, left nothing for dad tax. Would definitely recommend.

Food was great. Well worth a visit. Friendly and welcoming. Great staff 👍👍

We had a great time at The Fountain & Ink to celebrate our son's 30th birthday - we had an area allocated to us which was great as we could use the space to meet and greet and then have our lunch. Jay is an outstanding host- so helpful, nothing, literally nothing, was too much trouble and it was great to received such great service and have such a lovely time. Thanks from all of us Campos!

Very rude staff, we come every Friday in a large group (always 10+) - yet always get treated poorly, staff are slow, they either rudely ask us as whole group to move or complain if we eat our own snack - in a dismissive rude way despite the kitchen being closed. You would hope they would treat their regular guests better and be more understanding if someone is a bit hungry

Aaron very friendly and fast service Great for a short business lunch

Great place to relax and have food. Service has been great and staff are very friendly and bubbly.

This was my first visit and I’ll definitely be returning . Great service and delicious food!

The chicken burger was very stingy. I think the actual meat could have been deep fried wafer thin turkey ham it was that thin! I really don't know why they would economise so much on the amount of meat when they're charging £17 for a burger.... It tasted fine, but why so stingy Fountain & Ink ?

Stumbled upon this amazing pub for lunch! Best sandwich, burger and all. Molly was best waitress to help us choose! Such a great location for commuters close but far enough from all the Waterloo usual commuters places! Will recommend and come back!

Great place great food great service, thanks to Molly & team !

Didn't eat there, just went for a drink before heading off to a show

Came in for an early dinner around 6pm, the food was sensational, I had I had the seabass, it was fantastic, also had the truffle mac n cheese, personally not enough cheese for me but It was still lovely ( and I'm greedy af soooo ) Massive shout Mataeo, Aron, & Adam. Looked after me superberbly! I'll be back with friends very soon!

Lovely spot, great atmosphere and Molly looked after us very well

Food is incredibly delicious. Staff is very friendly. Great music playing the background; not your usual music that you hear constantly. I ordered the Chef's Roast and received a variety of meats along with several vegetables. The food was amazing; however, I really enjoyed the steak. The chicken and pork belly were also good. My partner ordered the sea bass. I tasted that as well and definitely would order that again. Shin was crispy and perfectly prepared. All vegetables were cooked properly and the caramelized carrots were very tasty. The triple chocolate brownie and ice cream was a perfect dessert. Overall the portions are very generous. It's likely fine for most but, if you don't overeat, the main dishes could be shareable. Facilities were clean.

Organizar mi fiesta de cumpleaños en la Fuente y Tinta - el servicio era excelente, el personal era atento y muy amable. También pedimos comida, tanto la cena como los aperitivos, y la calidad era excelente. Sin duda recomiendo.

Adam is the best bartender! Amazing service and tastiest margaritas in London

If u like spicy margaritas, ask for Adam, ❤️✌🏼

The food - at lunch at least, never eaten here in the evening - is really good, as are the drinks. They will give up on making cocktails when it’s really busy, which is a shame (even though a Negroni is relatively simple and quick, and even though they will still serve Guinness even though it takes about three days per pint). The one detraction is the desperate attempt to play music in the evenings, even though the place is heaving and people are already shouting to make themselves heard. Seriously people, no-one can actually hear *what* music is playing, it’s just adding to the decibel level and making people shout even louder. Utterly pointless, turn it off…

Great group outing, Molly and Mignon were fantastic organising and providing service ok the day. Everyone enjoyed the food platters.

The worst roast I've ever had. Everything was bland. Chicken was dry. I've never poured so much gravy over chicken in an attempt to make it edible, only to be disappointed with how bland the gravy was. Roast potatoes had a strange odd smell to it and was undercooked. Yorkshire puddings were also dry! I had to yank at it with my teeth. I gave up in the end. My friend fed my toddler some of their battered fish. After I had a try and I was shocked when I caught a whiff of it. It smelled bad! I hope my daughter doesn't get food poisoning. Such a shame as it was a well reviewed place. The atmosphere and space was lovely. I hope it was just an off day/period.

Organizado para venir a la Fuente y Tinta para un evento que estábamos celebrando y fue encantador! Un lugar muy agradable, acogedor y el personal era increíblemente servicial tanto antes del evento y durante para asegurarse de que nosotros y nuestros invitados estaban contentos. La única queja que tuvieron nuestros asistentes fue que la música era un poco demasiado alta, lo que hizo que a veces fuera difícil escucharnos, pero aparte de eso, una noche realmente buena.

I came in for family meal and the food was delicious, my server Aaron was a pleasure and he made the experience even better than I thought, thank you to the amazing service!!!

Food was great. Really liked the venue and our server Josh was lovely. Had a great energy and was helpful.

Had an amazing night, Lizzie and team looked after us so well. Food was delicious and great atmosphere.

Great pub, great service, particularly Emily, cosy atmosphere

Josh was amazing had great service, great Experience would highly recommend !!!

We came for the bottomless Sunday roast, at £35pp. Food was fresh and delicious, with healthy portions and lots of sides options. We were well looked after by Josh and the team, all staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Really nice atmosphere and great service. Our waiter was called Josh and was so friendly and accommodating! Would highly recommend

very nice pub with nice service, the choice of drinks and food is wide. We chose and everything was delicious.

Staff Christmas get together with a large team all catered for with amazing service from Lizzie and her team! Will definitely return! Great atmosphere & service!

Came here for the second time did not disappoint. We ordered Sunday roast (corn fed chicken) cider on draft. I was looking forward to the honey cider by Gosnell sadly they've stopped this, I hope they come back it was delicious. The food is tasty, lovely service from Emily and Mignon thank you ladies, we will be back again kind hospitality and welcoming!

Best roast we have had out in a long time. Compliments to the chef! Lovely atmosphere and brilliant service from Matheo and team!

Lizzie was our server for the night here !! She was warm and friendly and made our experience 10 times better :)) - also highly recommend the aged beef steak !

The place was not too crowded but the music was quite loud anyway, we were hoping to talk without screaming but we couldn't. Staff members who served at our table was the cutest, that's what I enjoyed most of the place. My fried chicken burger was good and had a reasonable price. Toilets were very clean.

Nice pub in Southwark on way back home when catching train from Waterloo. Beer is always good and staff always friendly.

Went in for a drink and some food as we walked past it. Everything was really nice, pub looks great and Aaron really looked after us, thanks again man!

Lovely meal, I had the pasta & my daughter the chicken. The chips were the best I’ve tasted. Fabulous service too from Matte.

Had a great night Aaron was amazingly helpful

Nous sommes arrivés par hasard dans ce lieu en se baladant tout en cherchant un endroit pour dîner. Le lieu est parfait, le cadre est très jolis et l’accueil est chaleureux. Nous avons pris, œuf ecossais, Mac and cheese, calamar frits, et sticky toffee pudding. Tout étais parfait, meilleur restaurant du coin et de loin. Je recommande fortement et nous y retournerons avec plaisir !

Excellent Sunday lunch yesterday, couldn't fault the food or service provided by the lovely Lizzy!

We came for a post hen do Sunday roast dinner and this did not disappoint. The service from Lizzie was fantastic throughout and she really went the extra mile to make sure we had a good afternoon. The food was excellent, we even squeezed some puddings in and the brownie was a big group favourite. Would definitely recommend!

Vinimos para una cena de asado post hen do Sunday y esto no decepcionó. El servicio de Lizzie fue fantástico en todo momento y ella realmente hizo un esfuerzo adicional para asegurarse de que tuvimos una buena tarde. La comida era excelente, incluso exprimimos algunos pudines y el brownie era uno de los favoritos del grupo grande. Sin duda recomendaría!

Best roast beef I’ve had in a LONG time. All the sides were amazing (and bottomless). We were a large group but the service was fab throughout thanks to Lizzie. Would highly recommend.

Nice bar.... Lots of reserved tables a Wednesday night!!!! Nice bar, good range of beer and nice but expensive food menu

Delicious food, outstanding service with the typical English pub vibe

Amazing staff and superb customer service. Will definitely be going back! Thanks again Aaron and Luca!

4.50 for a few peanuts...madness!!

We had the bottomless roast, which delivered on both quality and quantity! Everything on the plate was excellent and our waitress (Mollie) was really accommodating and made sure that we got our moneys worth. Would definitely return

Visité para el almuerzo del domingo sin expectativas, ya que normalmente reservo Blacklock o Hawksmoor. Vaya, una sorpresa brillante ya que mi almuerzo del domingo fue genial. De hecho, espero con ansias mi próxima visita. No te decepcionarás. Si solo todos los pubs y restaurantes fueran así de buenos para el almuerzo del domingo. Gracias a todo el personal.

nice place and food is very good

Good food and friendly staff. It would be 5 stars if they accepted cash.

Best bottomless roast I have ever had in London. Plates were huge and food was super tasty. Chef and staff were very friendly with us!

Pretty much stumbled across this place today and happy we did. Food was great. Especially impressed with the chicken as I would honestly say 9/10 pubs give you dry chicken but this place the chicken was cooked perfectly and moist. Also the Guinness was good. Molly and also the young blond lady that served us were very attentive and friendly. Although the place was a little spenny (expected around central London) I would totally recommend this place for a quiet Sunday roast.

The food was very good, Molly was really friendly and helpful! Will definitely come again!

Best bottomless roast I have ever had in London. Plates were huge and food was super tasty. Chef and staff were very friendly with us!

Friendly staff and great atmosphere great place for a lunch before a stroll around the river

2nd visit here whilst staying in London for work. Food very good for ‘pub grub’ , great atmosphere and good beer too - what’s not to like?!

The bar staff were managing a big group for our private event - we were well looked after, they were very organised and had great communication throughout the night. The bar staff were knowledgeable and made great recommendations and the food was great

It is a pub so a bit loud. Fish and chips were outstanding and the home made hot sauce excellent with the fish. The server Luca was attentive and provided the best recommendation for starters. Highly recommend.

Great place for family and friends to meet. Food was good and service is top notch.

Was a nice chill time, quick service and Issie was really nice and made us feel very welcome.

SUNDAY BOTTOMLESS ROASTS! 🔥 🔥 Always been a good vibe but as a Sunday roast lover… i had to try the bottomless and be critical. Amazing portions, very flexible on what you want topping up. I didn’t have to finish my potatoes to get more and more chicken and then beef instead of chicken! There is no bottomless place like that around here (tried all the roasts around this area, lived here for 5 years). Would deffo recommend. Make sure you’re hungry!

Visited with friends. Well looked after with great service. Would recommend this establishment.

The fish and chips and signature brew is one of my favorite combos! I'm only in town for a month with friends but the bartender Aaron has made us feel so welcoming it has been great!

The best roast dinner I’ve ever had in a pub & I’ve had plenty!! Every element was absolutely perfect, all 3 meats were amazing, proper crispy potatoes & lots of perfect veg , 10 out of 10 , and the staff are lovely as well They do a bottomless roast, if you go for that don’t have breakfast!!! Highly, highly recommended

I came by with my team from work and Aaron was such a great host. He made sure we were set up and had a wonderful time! The food was good and the vibes were a delight! Will definitely be back.

Matteo does an amazing job. Great service, good vibes ✨ the food was very fresh and tasty as well:)

We came to the fountain and ink for the bottomless roast. Honestly, the best roast I’ve ever had at any pub. Not stingy with portions, great value for money. Make sure you come hungry!! Thank you Lily, Paul and John.

Bottomless roast was absolutely fabulous. One of the best pub roasts I’ve ever had. Can’t recommend enough! Also lovely staff, thanks Lily, Paul and John xx

We went on a Thursday not knowing it was their busiest night, didn't take reservations. Menu was upscale, atmosphere was pub. GREAT service and excellent food. Kuddos to Matt and his manager.

We absolutely loved Issie what a fantastic waitress but not just that she was effortlessly lovely and efficient on such a busy night What a star she is thanks for making our night seamless
