The Britannia in Southwark

Super yummy food. We came early (5:30pm) and it was a Monday so it was a quiet but was getting busier as we left. The team there is super friendly too.

Probably the best ribs I've had in my life. They were incredibly flavoursome. The staff were lovely and the music was great!

Super friendly staff, very attentive and helpful. Food was nice but for us lacked the BBQ and smoked flavours you expect. E.g The beef brisket was under salted and corn was overdone. However the special burger was incredible! The desserts were bizarrely thin for the price, more like a loaf slice then a slice of cake. Nice buzzy atmosphere. Book in advance as it gets busy!

This place is a hidden gem with the best bbq food in London!

Came here for the live music on a Saturday night and we had a great evening. The staff are all excellent and served us at the table for the food. Fries and cauliflower sides were excellent. Ribs were a bit dry but tasty. Chicken good. Will try burgers next time. There is a superb selection of drinks with a good choice of beer and an amazing whisky selection as well as other spirits. Wonderful to hear live music with no additional charge. Could become my Saturday choice!

This pub sells really nice barbecue style food, they also have a great selection of whiskies. Roast dinners at the weekend are good too.

Nice to see a real pub still going, and selling real beers

I really like this place. Great everything 👏 My only comment is that I often find the music too loud for my taste, so you have to be louder if you want to have a proper conversation. Otherwise you will enjoy it. And the outside space is really lovely. Feels like the countryside in South Bank.

if you are looking for a place where to enjoy great food, amazing drinks and good vibes this is the place. Smok'd menu taste exceptional, whisky selection even better and Richard with his team knows how to treat you. Little gem

Delicious food and friendly service. Great band playing live music after dinner.

Recently I had the pleasure of attending the Britianna regularly over a space of 3 weeks while visiting London. The manager (Richard) and staff were brilliant- this pub became our “regular”. The food and service was great. The staff were incredibly friendly and very supportive to us given some difficult personal circumstances. The local patrons were also very friendly and welcoming. For us the Britannia become a comfortable and welcoming place to visit and I would welcome the opportunity to visit again if I am ever in London.

Location is great ..not far from the station. Cosy pub

This Place is an hidden Gem just about 10 minutes walk from London Bridge, the Drinks the vibes and the music were simply great! All the credit for The show goes to the Irish Man behind the bar, Luke’s is something Different. The way he welcomed us and looked after us the whole night was a balm for our soul, that was the everything you waiting for after a stressful week. We will back again soon

Went for a weekday meal. I had the beef brisket. My husband had the rack of ribs. I wasn't expecting the brisket to be as chewy, but it was still tasty. My husband suggested more sauce for the ribs I thought they were great as they were. The star of the night was the member of staff Olivia. Olivia was friendly and attentive and answered all of my questions in a positive way, really promoting the business. I will attend again to try the burger roast, chilli fries, and experience the music on a weekend.

Richard was so great! we did our work christmas party here and he was fantastic, 10/10 service, and drinks were fab, thanks!

Ordered beef brisket and received a gravy soup with little bits of meat in it not worth £20 per portion. Ribs looked way better.

The Monday deal is amazing! Huge lump of pork belly, fries and a pint for £15! Really friendly staff, good taps, amazing whiskey and delicious food. What more could you ask for. Conveniently close to London Bridge station and all.

Food was delicious and friendly service too!

Nice pub that we found on short notice as two other pubs we tried beforehand were too busy. We just ordered halloumi fries and skinny fries and they were great. I would recommend it if you're looking for a pub in the area.

Friendly welcome and service from the chaps behind the bar. Went in for a snack and drink, the topped fries were a generous, tasty portion at a fair price.

Booked a table for 7 and we all enjoyed our food. The pub has a nice atmosphere and seems like it has a crowd of frequent visitors which is nice. We booked for Christmas but they never got our meal requests (things like that happen everywhere) so we ordered off the main menu. However service was super slow and we were waiting a long time for our food. The food was all fine, but not amazing, my chips were under done ect. The tastiest thing ordered was the brisket and the worst were both salads ordered. So stick to the bbq meat. One coeliac in our party could only have a dry salad. Sad as they said they cater to special diets on the menu. I had emailed about this too and they never replied.

Had a fantastic time eliza thanks alot hope to see you again soon XOXO 😘 🤗

Guy behind the bar sneakily added a random extra amount to the cost of my burger hoping I wouldn’t notice. When I challenged this, he said ‘it’s the service for the chefs’ without asking permission. Not on.

We went for a friends gathering and had a fabulous time. Elisa was looking after us and she did everything for us to have an amazing time. Definitely recommend! Don’t hesitate anymore

Really nice pub, decent beers, typical prices for a central London pub. Had a good array of whiskey from around the world. Didn't eat.

An absolute peach of a pub round the back of London Bridge / Borough. Great drinks menu, superb food options and the friendliest, most welcoming bunch of staff. An outstanding place in an area with lots of great options. Only negative is they add 12.5% service on food that’s already quite expensive.

This was my second time heading here. It's such a great place. The reason for the most recent visit was for pre-drinks before a birthday meal nearby. I'd booked a space in advance (this place can get busy so would recommend booking in advance) and it was all ready. It's super easy to get served at the bar but also staff walk around and take orders from the table. I need to single out Richard, I'm not sure what his role is but I'm guessing he's the manger. He is fantastic, super attentive and really helpful. You can tell he really cares about the customer experience, he really made a difference. He also recommended I get the chips when I first came to this place for lunch. I can not reiterate this enough, listen to Richard and GET THE CHIPS, they are amazing!!! Whenever I'm back in the area and need a place for lunch, without question I'll be going back here.

My new local, always friendly and relaxing. Needs a busier poker night

Really, really, really good cocktails bar man take a bow! Slightly tucked away about 5 minutes from London bridge station the Britannia is a real Gem if you're fond of a cocktail or two. A selection of house specials can be found but they are also more than happy to invent some something to your tastes. Didn't have any food but it looked good from where I was sitting. Would recommend for work drinks or a lively gathering

What a great spot! All of the meats and the bbq sauce are gluten free, so for meat-eating folks with coeliac/celiac there are plenty of good gluten free options. Enjoyed a rack of ribs and some fries and didn’t get sick. That said, I wish there were a gluten free option for the Sunday roast because it looked delicious! The staff were well versed in cross contamination for those with serious allergies (for example, the grilled corn is done on the same surface as flatbreads so it’s not a good option for a serious gluten allergy). Also, one of the only places (including in America!) that I’ve seen picklebacks on a menu, which is incredible.

By far the best pub in the area. Lovely, cosy atmosphere. They offer a good value food deal on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday (changing everyday). We have tried every one of their deals and the food is delicious! The drinks are always great and service is fast and efficient even on their busiest nights. Also, they have Coke in a glass bottle. Definitely try their Spicy Margaritas if you think you can handle the heat!

Great smoked BBQ food! Really friendly attentive staff especially for a pub and nice local neighborhood style pub. Went for a Sunday roast this time and the beef rib was Fabulous as were all the trimmings. The chargrilled corn was also great as a side dish. We will definitely be back.

A delightful, succulent fiesta in smok'd meats. Not for meat free lovers. The place to come for quality cuts, with live music in a pub setting.

This place is a hit and miss. If they make it right then it is one of the best places to eat and drink in Southwark. The food is delicious, but I am giving 4 stars as at times they run out of food during the day. Good pint, great selection of whisky, etc. Really attentive and friendly staff.

Came here on Monday for their ribs night. Servings were huge! We tried the pork belly, ribs and beef. Will definitely come back!

Nice chilled vibe for a Sunday evening. Good artists on (biased: one was my son!). Nice food. Lovely bar staff, inc. the guy who introduced me to an old fashioned, taking a lot of care and professional pride. Good evening!

A lovely pub with great staff. We initially booked for food but when we arrived we felt that the food available wasn't for us (from the look of a few things that others had, we didn't try anything) we stopped for a drink and then headed off. There was some live music whilst we were there too.

Great pub with an excellent drinks selection at very reasonable prices. Their cocktails are very good. The food is incredibly delicious and the Sunday roasts are a complete winner if you enjoy an American barbecue-style take on the traditional English roast (and who wouldn’t?). Serving size is incredibly generous for the price point. The staff are accommodating and friendly.

Food very expensive considering portion size. Left feeling hungry. Live music was good but too loud for venue size. Service was slow (Finish my main before sides came to the table)

Booked The Brittania for an engagement party - the serving staff outlined the costs transparently in advance, and the night went smoothly with the bar tab pricing structure (including some food and drinks) that we set with the pub being exactly as described. Very helpful staff who also took time to help us take lots of pictures. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely little pub away from the hustle and bustle of London Bridge.. Food is great and good choice of beer.. Service and atmosphere great too..

The crew,Richi,Zach,Mish and Daria,is the best equipped in the whole of London,the food is fabulous the ambience it's very satisfying .Thank you guys 🤗🤗🤗

I live across the pond and these were some of the best ribs i’ve had outside of the deep south :)

The Britannia is the most neighbourhood friendly pub in the area. We come here every day of the week and the service is exceptional. special shout out and thanks to Sidarth- he rocks. the Guinness is only rivalled by Dublin’s finest (and we know how great that is (am i right). til:dr- go to the Britannia and thank me later! PS, the margs are great xxx

An oasis in a concrete jungle. Super friendly helpful bar staff.

Had a great lunch menu here with a half rack of ribs for tenner. The ribs were great. I do like a little more sauce on my ribs but I reckon I could have just asked. The fries were honestly some of the best fries I have ever had. I'm not a huge fan of Coleslaw but this was very nice actually. The service was great. The guy behind the bar was really attentive and polite. Keep up the good work champs.

A great pub, off the beaten track.

Great little place, I'm from up north but working in London, popped in for a drink after work. Staff absolutely fantastic 👏.

Nice pub with some different beers and food to other places. Staff were great too. Only let down was it being on the pricey side, even for London

Tucked away near London Bridge station, This recently transformed pub is now a must! Quirky interior and great selection of beers and whiskey with delicious smokehouse menu. The cauliflower is worth the journey on its own! Ribs huge and falling off the bone. Burger lovely. Loaded fries a meal in themselves. Friendly staff too. Wish more people found out about this place. It’s a gem!

Awful service, staff were discriminatory

Slow service, and cutlery’s were filthy

Had the Brisket from their Sunday roast menu, it was amazing! Lovely staff and atmosphere too. Definitely a place to visit!

Lovely staff!! Very pleasant Pub, Atmosphere is nice and relaxed!! Great choices of Ales and the food is 10/10!! You have to try the beef rib its so delicate and delicious just falls of the Rib!! Will definetly be back soon.

Always a great place to go for drinks and food on a Friday night and amazing services too. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Best service of any pub in London! Richard and Zach are next level behind the bar!! 🙌

A very nice authentic classic British pub. A great place to enjoy a pint or two. Didn’t eat, so cannot rate their food.

My partner and I visit monthly to enjoy the burger of the month and always have a great experience. The food is delicious (especially impressed with the classic burgers and vegan cauliflower wings) and the front of house staff are all lovely. This month I believe we were served by Richard and Peter, and we were looked after superbly. The atmosphere in the venue is so relaxed and welcoming, and the music choices playing are always top tier. It's been ten months since we started coming to The Britannia and I don't think we're going to stop the monthly tradition any time soon – thoroughly recommend!

The food is always good but the customer service and atmosphere is the reason why I keep coming back!

Fantastic little place in London Bridge. Staff were excellent and super friendly and helpful. The food was the main event, and have to say it really was delicious. I had the brisket which was in a brilliant gravy. Also had the cauliflower wings which were also fantastic. Will be coming back for a roast in the future. Do yourself a favour and make a trip there!

Didn't eat. Staff couldn't have been nicer! Found the clientele approachable as well.

Amazing pub, great atmosphere. Food is incredible and the service was the best I've had in a long time! Can't recommend enough!

We stopped in before heading to Borough market for dinner. They have a great scotch selection for reasonable prices. The also have the elusive jewish single malt A-R-D-B-E-R-G on the menu, LOL. Seriously though, they have some really good whisky are very friendly. Would highly recommend.

The bar has a large stock of whiskey and a smoke house themed menu, it is quite noisy inside so i found it wasn't the best location for a meal and a chat with friends, the food was good but not a reason for me to go there again, the table tried most things on the menu burgers, ribs, chicken wings. The outside area looks really cool, it has Palm trees so it might be better to go there again for a lunch/beer outside. Guinness tasted a bit funny, standard for London.

A hidden gem behind Guys Hospital for sure! Great food, welcoming and attentive staff, all round excellent experience! 👌

Excellent roast! We will be back!

Came in for the cocktails. Was not disappointed. Highly recommend the Bramble cocktail on a warm day

Nice back street boozer, 5min from Guys/Lon Bridge/Shard. Smoked & BBQ heaven. Good vibe & friendly staff. Will return

Great pub not far from Tower Bridge in London. Went here for drinks and dinner with a mate and the friendly service, amazing food and atmosphere was great. Defiantly the best pub we visited on our UK trip. Would highly recommend a visit when in the area.

this is a favourite lunch time pub of mine, far enough away from london bridge + borough market to be quiet / non-touristy but close enough for a pint and lunch! this pub is beautiful inside and has a lovely little garden down the side. they've got an extensive smokehouse menu and a reduced version which offers £10 lunches with: burgers (vegan & meat), ribs, chicken wings & cauli wings i went for the latter, buffalo cauli. perfect size for lunch and topped off with a guiness

Friendly staff, good food, and a nice selection of drinks.

Well, the place is not a typical 'grab and go." As soon as I arrived, I had already decided not to go to the motel but to enjoy the biggest ribs I had ever come across in my life. Aside from the cultural exchange with locals at the bar, you can also find a never ending beverage list nearby.  Tummy 10\10 Atmosphere 11\10 Memory 6\10 ...they open be long

My first time at this pub and was very impressed. All the staff are super friendly and the food is lovely. Really nice service, really like the vibe and decor too. We went on a Thursday and there are cocktail deals and special food deals on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays so will definitely return.

My favourite pub in the area. Good food, good beer & service is always second to none. What’s not to like?

The food was absolutely delicious. Compliments to the chef. We shall return.

Nice place and amazing staff! The food of Peter the chef is on a next level! Highly recommended!

I was not expecting the food to be so good. The atmosphere of the place was not the best. Nevertheless, the food was excellent and it was worth the drop in. Compliments to the chef. Sometimes, good food can change perspectives.

Nice staff, really nice BBQ food at a great price. Wide selection of beers and spirits. It's a smaller bar than others in the area but I think that gives it character. There is a small outdoor space outside the entrance of the pub which is great on hotter days. Staff are excellent, very attentive towards allergies and cleanliness.

Very happy with the Sunday roast. Very good service. Big portions and even something for vegetarians. Brilliant sides and starters. Meat falls off the bone. Great service

Great pub with very friendly staff. Good beer and whisky selection. Food by smoked is highly recommended.

I visited The Britannia on this Monday with my friends I must say I was thoroughly impressed. Despite it being a busy evening, the service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The food was simply delicious, with a wide range of options on the menu to suit all tastes. Even with the busy kitchen, our food arrived promptly and was piping hot. What really stood out to me, however, was the exceptional service. Despite the pub being packed, the staff never let their high standards slip. They were attentive and efficient, making sure everyone was happy and well looked after. Overall, I would highly recommend The Britannja to anyone looking for a great place near London Bridge. I will definitely be back!

Leuke en gezellige pub. Typisch pub food: gewoon goed en niet heel bijzonder. Eten was erg snel en het barpersoneel vriendelijk.

Best Sunday roast I had in London. Friendly staff. Great local pub!

Called in for a few drinks with family while visiting the area. A lovely pub with a great selection of drinks, excellent food and friendly staff. Will definitely be calling back next time.

Visited this quaint little Pub as we were recommended the amazing roast . We were not disappointed!!! This is a lovely little Pub which has kept a sense of a traditional British pub . The staff were extremely friendly and helpful . Would recommend a visit and don’t forget to try the food . They stock a wide range of whiskey too if you like a tipple .within walking distance of London Bridge mainline and underground stations .

Lovely team and amazing roast!! 10/10 highly recommended ✨

Good food and great beer. A gem in the area.

Friendly staff. Music is a bit loud.

Great Little Local Pub, within' reach of London Bridge .. Character & Charm .. very good food ✌️

Great restaurant. We had delicious classic burgers and brisket fries, which were divine. Their outdoor garden was lovely. The service was great, and the bar staff were friendly and helpful. Quick walk to a main train and tube stop London Bridge. Fun night for friends.

Amazing staff, amazing food defo recommend!! Great atmosphere and really nice pub. Yum ribs and Kenny and the girls were so friendly

Really enjoyed my meal here. The roast dinner was amazing. The waitress Magi was very helpful in recommending dishes and making me feel welcome. Would highly recommend a visit. I can’t wait to go back 😋

Incredible, perfect portion size, delicious meat, amazing friendly and accommodating staff

Great selection of drinks. And the food....oh my the food .... Jacob's ladder was 🤤😍

Great place for a nice pint and the food is delicious

I'm a vegetarian so I tried their veggie options and they were delicious! Full of flavour! Great food and cocktails, definitely coming back.

300 yards from London Bridge station, it's a decent pub with really tasty BBQ food. Wednesday night it was busy (but not packed) until about 8 when it started to quiet down. The staff were really friendly and there were board games to borrow.

Great atmosphere, nice food lovely staff. Definitely we'll go back. 👌🏼❣️

Lovely spot, way nicer than when I last visited a few years ago. BBQ was excellent, would recommend the loaded fries. Also did a solid NA gin and tonic

We are regulars at the sister pub the Grey Horse in Kingston. We wanted to give this place a try and we were not disappointed! Excellent food, great service and a shout out to Kenny- who ensured we had a fab night. The topped fries were a particular highlight and wings/ribs were great too. Thanks for a great time we will be back!
