Quaint Grapes is a proper English pub

03 July 2007
We love this old place - it's a quaint, narrow, little pub in a very old terrace on the north bank of the river at Limehouse. There's a tiny terrace at the back that you can squeeze onto, if you're lucky, and enjoy views of Limehouse Reach and Rotherhithe. The beer's pretty good and the decor old, genuine and atmospheric. But there's more to it, there's a sort of timeless traditional air about the place in an area where property booms and yuppiedom have wreaked their worst.
The restaurant upstairs specialises in fish and that's pretty good too. If you do go to eat, try and book the table that looks out over the river (you'll need to book anyway, it's pretty popular). The food is traditional seafood and is entirely dependent on what is good at the market that day. It's well presented, but can be a little pricey. The service is friendly and prompt, and with the fare on offer, what more could you want? It just looks, acts and feels like a proper English pub. It's just perfect for the area.
