Mi otra mitad y algunos amigos fuimos aquí un domingo para un asado dominical después de escuchar tantas cosas buenas que tuve que probar, no estuvo tan mal, sobre todo fue agradable hasta que llegué a la papa asada que tenían ese sabor y textura recalentado / microondas distintivo. Les dije como retroalimentación y les pregunté: Cómo cocinaban y decían que estaba fresco, sí que decía bien si lo están no sé cómo los haces pero saben a microondas/recalentado, se disculparon y quitaron un cupé de lados de la factura, aparte de que no estaba tan mal.

Faultless experience. The host was warm and welcoming. The gentleman that looked after us was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxing. The food was delicious, perfect portion sizes and had a very nice French red. Will most definitely visit again.

The starters were awful the ribs were around an inch long and two in number, the cold meats were curling at the edges, guest requested bread which took ages to arrive. We both ordered Fillet steak which were both not cooked as required ,guest had to send it back, so we had our starters and mains at different times not together. As for the “mashed potato” I have never been served anything like it, it was liquid it was a mixture of milk and cream without any visible potatoes, in 50+ years working in London I have never been served anything like it They must have a new chef as I dined there a month ago and the food was good if unremarkable. Sadly following this experience I will not return

Optamos por la comida pre-teatro de 3 platos por £ 30 y sensiblemente ritmo la comida, así que todo se hizo en poco más de una hora. Si comías a la carta era más tranquilo. Bien hecho al restaurante por hacer esto. Nuestro servidor era excelente. Su nombre era Aaliyah y era absolutamente increíble. La comida era increíble. Algunos de los platos eran muy inusuales. El ambiente estaba zumbando. En general una experiencia increíble

Una gran experiencia y un servicio excepcional. Vinimos a cenar antes de ver a Ricardo II en el Bridge Theatre. Todo el personal que encontramos fue cortés y extremadamente servicial. Preguntamos si podíamos sentarnos junto a una ventana y, aunque fue difícil, el gerente logró movernos. La comida era deliciosa. Tenía el pollo y estaba tierno y húmedo. Vino con una porción generosa de papas fritas y la guarnición de verduras verdes también era muy generosa. Para cuando salimos a las 7 pm, el restaurante estaba lleno y me alegré de que había reservado con antelación. Pensé que el precio final de la factura era justo y valía la pena, especialmente dado el tamaño de la porción.

Do you know what you want from a restaurant? If you do, you’ve probably already experienced it at The Coal Shed, London Bridge. The food is exquisite and prepared and presented beautifully. The staff are attentive, without being fawning, and their knowledge of their food and drinks menu is extensive. Fantastic value for money and a great evening out, whether casually dropping in or a planned “event”.

My family and I went there for my birthday. The restaurant was busy but we were seated very quickly. This has to be one of the best Sunday roasts I have ever had. 500g of perfectly cooked sirloin for 2. The roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding and vegetables (including cauliflower cheese) were all cooked perfectly. We had had starters before (the salmon was very good) but couldn't manage anything more after the roast! We had a bottle of red but a selection of wines are available by the glass and carafe. Unfortunately my wife discovered she had lost her phone when we were leaving. Despite the efforts of the staff, it could not be located. She returned early the following morning and despite the restaurant not being open, thy let her in a finally found her phone. They also gave her a much needed cup of coffee! So overall a great experience and would certainly strongly recommend.

I came for the dinner special. A group of 6, I was 5 min late and they refused the special. However it took 10 minutes to get service. Food was average for other guests. I ordered a hamburger came cold (frozen butter on bun), so ask if could heat up, burnt to a cinder in an inedible. I wouldn't go back. I as told I was rude and lucky to be served as I was "5 min" late. I was very polite. Group were shocked. Dog had hamburger.

El restaurante estaba ocupado y eso afectó el servicio. Tardamos más de una hora en recibir nuestra red. Cuando llegaron uno estaba frío, y el otro, un filete medio raro, estaba bien hecho y duro. El aperitivo de ostra cruda que se pidió en hielo llegó sobre sal caliente sin ninguno de los condimentos mencionados en el menú. Los tomates ampollados no estaban ampollados, y el otro lado que pedimos llegó 15 minutos después del resto de la comida. Cuando le mencionamos estas cuestiones al camarero fue grosero y desdeñoso. El resto del personal era encantador.

Un amigo y yo nos intoxicamos por comer ostras en el restaurante. He comido aquí antes y es un buen restaurante, y agradezco que la intoxicación alimentaria pueda ocurrir. Sin embargo, el aspecto más decepcionante fue no recibir una respuesta del restaurante. No buscábamos compensación, simplemente una advertencia de no vender más ostras. Fui hospitalizado debido a esto, y no puedo creer la falta de respuesta.

A pesar de reservar para una comida a la hora del almuerzo nos dijeron que no tenían Prosecco, ya que había una fiesta que llegaría más tarde esa noche. Como estábamos comiendo con amigos por un cumpleaños pedimos el siguiente vino espumoso en el menú que era más del doble del precio. Más tarde tuvimos cócteles que contenían Prosecco sin ningún problema. Pregunté si el entrante de langostinos necesitaría pelarse y la respuesta fue ‘no’. ¡Mal! Tuve una comida principal vegetariana que era normal, pero a los amigos les encantó su comida principal y todos los postres eran muy agradables. Estaba en un lugar encantador y tenía un bonito espacio exterior, pero no me apresuraba a volver.

We were meeting friends (with teenagers) near Tower Hill and wanted somewhere reasonably priced for lunch, which isn't easy in this area. The Coal Shed has a set lunch menu which is available on a Saturday. £20 for 2 courses and £25 for 3. We'd reserved a table online, lovely staff who seated us even though we were early. Place itself is pretty cool, has great toilets which I also appreciate! Kids had the tacos to start and burgers, all got the thumbs up. As did the cheesecake and fig pudding. The staff were kind enough to bring out a cake a sing happy birthday for one of our party - would recommend.

Visited for a client lunch. The sea trout starter was very nice, service was attentive and friendly and the pricing was not outrageous ( 3 course meal for 2 with drinks and service for less than £100 seems rare these days in London). Only slight criticism was the burger. It’s described as a double smash patty burger, but to me it seemed like a standard burger and something perhaps you’d find in an average pub. Given the level of burgers you get from your average street food chains these days, you’d expect a restaurant like this to come up with something really decent, but as it was it was just… fine. It was however cooked exactly medium well which was what I asked for, so that was a plus point. The place has a nice atmosphere and nice decor.

What a disappointment we felt very let down by the complete experience. We had booked a night out with work colleague's and partners which doesn't happen often so we had high hopes for a good night. The food was over priced and underwhelming when you pay good money you expect good quality and the food was over cooked and the portions size a joke. We ordered a bottle of wine which was so poor we sent it back, but at £50 a bottle you could have done better with a £6 bottle at the supermarket. The staff did try to make this better but just agreed it was all very poor.

Completely overpriced poor food, felt bad for the staff bringing it out who then had to justify what on earth they had just put in front of us, definitely tried to pass off a salmon fillet as a tuna steak which was so small it was actually really funny. Steaks were dry and unseasoned, and most things cold or luke warm, we recently at another restaurant nearby for a work event and the food and drink for 14 people was not as high as the bill for 6 of us at the coal shed this was after removing the cost of the 'tuna'. Absolute rip off, not the staff's fault.

As a family of six adults who had eaten at this restaurant before, we returned today for Sunday lunch. We all chose to share the roast sirloin beef (between two people at £27:50 pp). Sadly the meat itself wasn’t to the standard we were expecting, so much so that my parents sharing beef main course was completely taken off the bill as my father had complained. The roast potatoes, veggies and gravy were tasty. Desserts were good. The highlight of our meal was the exemplary service by our waitress Charlie - she was fabulous.

My. Husband and I went there for dinner before heading back home to Essex I’m so glad we tried it . I’m coeliac which wasn’t a problem as the waitress went through my choice of food, then checking with the chef . Unfortunately my steak was a little underdone but delicious anyway . They noticed I hadn’t eaten it all and asked why . They asked me if they could get me anything else or could they take it off the bill. I said no that wasn’t necessary and that I was full. The food was fabulous, best chips and green beans I’ve tasted and the staff were amazing , so attentive . I found the price of the food fine as it didn’t seem to be any more expensive than other places be it in london or Essex Thank you guys for a perfect end to a perfect day Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again

Very mixed experience. Starters and sides I had were great, service good but we received two steaks which were cold to touch. When we raised the issue we were told steaks cooked medium rare or rare should be expected cold to touch (on the outside). A lot of money for a very average (and cold) steak. There are better steak restaurants available in the area. Suggest avoiding!

Very disappointing experience. We booked this for my daughters graduation meal. Food was overpriced and the portions were small. The food was rushed out to us with virtually no time in between courses. We ordered a bottle of prosecco and it was warm, we did complain about this and were told that it was the only temperature available. On average we paid £80 per head for a 3 course meal and a few glasses of warm prosecco. Would not recommend .Waiting staff very pleasant though.

Superb family meal! 6 of us ate here recently and it was wonderful, if a little pricey. Our group comprised of 4 adults who all had the set three course menu at £30 per person. The children thoroughly enjoyed their dinner too, but I do feel that £6 for a very small portion of chips is a bit steep. Having said that, our waitress was excellent and the location was ideal for us too. We’ll definitely come back!

Unfortunately the worst steak I have attempted to eat. I didn’t think that you could go far wrong with a steak but sadly this was the case. There was a peculiar smell in the restaurant and when our steak arrived, they both smelt and tasted off. I attempted to eat some of it but only managed to stomach 2 pieces before I was gagging due to the smell. Only ate the chips but still ended up with a £115.00 bill- highly disappointed with this and will not be returning.

The overall evening was a disaster unfortunately… from being freezing cold inside the restaurant, to a starter of belly pork that was so dry it was inedible, a well done fillet instead of rare and then 2 other steaks being given to the wrong guest, cold side dishes and our choice of wine being unavailable. The staff were mostly friendly and the manager did attempt to offer apologies in the way of a glass of Prosecco each, but then spilled one all over the table and 2 of our party. We were so disappointed as had booked this weeks in advance as a treat on our weekend away in London.

Went for a set pre-theatre dinner with friends, food slow to arrive, but restaurant not over busy, so rather rushed the food to leave in time. The burger was possibly one of the worst in London, tasteless meat in a bun with a smear of cheese, thin slither of gherkin and relish. No salad on the side. This was followed by an equally tasteless chocolate nemesis. Never again.

Order the beef short rib for two, trust me, you won't be disappointed. We asked for rosemary and garlic on the fries (they do this on the potatoes) but that was a bit complicated so dont deviate from the menu. We orfered the short rib, triple cooked chips and tenderstem broccoli... Perfect for two. Pair with a good red such as the tuscan sangiovese. Full flavoured and satisfying. The background music in the restaurant is nice and not so overpowering that you can still hear eachother and enjoy conversation. Service is attentive. One to visit. Good location to tower bridge and nearby bars.

I always enjoy dining at the coal shed I had a perfectly cooked fillet steak, as usual, and a fantastic red wine suggested by a member of the lovely staff. Concluded with a couple of cocktails. Recommended!

A fantastic place to catch up with friends. The Sunday Roast was spectacular. The wine selection very good and the choice of cocktails, not just on the menu but prepared at the bar was very extensive. A big shout out to our waiter Mario and...

This whole experience was fantastic. We discovered the coal shed in London last week and it didn't disappoint. It's a little bit further back from the Thames so it's back from the tourist based restaurants, but honestly it is so worth visiting. The servers were...

We live locally but hadn’t been to CoalShed for maybe 3 years, which was for Sunday lunch. Instead of our usual visit to Hawksmoor we thought we’d give it a go for steak night. Bad call. The 300g ribeye was priced at £34 - versus...

Service was excellent. Shout out to Tee who went above and beyond in helping find options with my wife's dietary restrictions (actually more accomodating than the upstairs manager). The food was excellent if pricey and decor / location was good. Bit shame that they couldn't...

I was really hungry after taking the Uber boat, but there was Five Guys, so the scenery was nice and the food was delicious. However, there are two problems: the bathroom and adding vegetables. There are 5 restrooms, but they are always full. And if you add vegetables, you get a burger, but if you don't add vegetables, you get a meat burger (that's what we did).

Buena comida para el precio de una cena especial. Lugar limpio y bonito con un personal cortés.Problema es tarda mucho tiempo para conseguir la comida de la mesa. Yo entiendo que es fresco. La última vez que estuve en tomó 25 minutos. Mi descanso era casi más por el tiempo que salió. Sólo había 2 de nosotros comiendo.Si me iba en la noche con los amigos y que recomiendo. Pero quizás no a la hora del almuerzo.
