Adam RobbinsNovember 6, 2016Don't fuck around, get the Fish & Chips — served with a pot of mushy peas smaller than the change you'll get out of a fiver for a flat pint at the bar. Where else you gonna go, The Duke? Please.
Carl GriffinApril 29, 2016Prominent Thames side pub on the site of a former friary. Great food served everyday and complimented by good real ales.
Christopher SandøyApril 21, 2015Somewhat hidden by the riverside, atmosphere was great. Had a pint outside during a lovely spring afternoon, and will definitely go back.
Zeynep Ozturk OzyerDecember 9, 2017Best in summers with a great view to river with your drinks and friends.Upvoted 1 week ago
Time Out LondonMarch 26, 2012A big, handsome boozer, The White Cross has large bay windows that offer none-closer views of the river. Crowds flock here in summer to bask on the waterfront with a cooling drink.
Imogen CSeptember 30, 2018Had the chicken burger, proper chicken and chips, good size and tasty. Lovely chatty bar staff. Riverside
Jessi @2feet1worldDecember 16, 2014Very mixed service - soup order took longer than roasts! But food was delicious, good atmosphere and amazing setting.
Leslie Owusu-AppiahMarch 27, 2016Service is phenomenal (consistent in that respect). Clients were very jovial and we became no different. Great for dinner, drinks and pudding.
very cozy place, it could become really crowded. food is great, but better to go early on sunday: at 13:30 they were out of roast 😖- Plastic PigMay 6, 2015River adjacent pub. Very adjacent it turns out at high tide. BYOB means something different here. It stands for Bring Your Own Boat.
- Clark GilliesOctober 28, 2018Fantastic dog friendly riverside pub with out door seating. Good beer selection and tasty food.
- Lee HartJuly 16, 2018great pub, fantastic location right on the river, HUGE sandwiches great for a spot of lunch.
Try the ribs...perfection! Huge portions,perfect view of the river but quite expensive!
ChirstyMay 16, 2012At high tide you can get 'stuck in the pub' for a good hour or two until the water recedes, unless the guy is out with his row boat. Great excuse to get another round in...- Plastic PigJune 8, 2012Fantastic food, decent selection of ales and a great view to boot. Perfect place to chill out on a Sunday evening!
- Roser BlascoOctober 5, 2013Look for high tide warnings at the front door. And if you get stuck in, they sometimes lend you wellies to get out.
Claire AAugust 3, 2013Often seats upstairs when it's heaving outside and on the ground floor. Great food
KimAugust 19, 2012Sunday chicken roast...it's edible, but steer clear of the stuffing ball...you could chip a tooth.
SebAugust 26, 2017Great pub, terrible food! The burgers are awful. Come for the drinks, the garden and the view.
Great place for a lazy lunch and beer overlooking the river...
Great weekend sunshine pub. Awesome ales and pretty decent food.
Edith HMay 16, 2014Definitely NOT notable value - £9.30 for a glass of Pimms!?! I would go somewhere else and nicer along the Thames @youngspub
Seb BMay 16, 2014Avoid this place , slow service and too expensive when the sun is out: £9.30 for a pint of Pimm's
They used to serve salad with fish and chips - oh dear :(
