I've never been up there. ==== Food ==== Really amazingly good fish, delicious pints of shrimps or prawns and the best chips anywhere in London. The fishcakes with new potatoes and caper sauce are spectacular, filling and feel very good for you. It's very reasonably priced too, so well worth a visit if you need a good feed, a nice atmosphere and a few pints. The fishcakes and (excellent) fish and chips are �6.50ish, and well worth it. The ploughman's lunch is good too, and the lobster bisque is so wonderfully hearty it's difficult to describe. ==== Entertainment ==== Conversation only.

The Grapes
A fantastic pub, with an amazing menu. Very traditional, no music, no mobile phones, and a cheery atmosphere. Very very good food and freindly but firm staff. Do remember to turn off your mobile phone, I've once seen the landlady sneak up to a regular, who was yabbering on his phone, snatch the mobile and drop it in his half full pint.
Drinks
Guinness. Adnams. Strongbow. Stella. Kronenburg. many others probably.
Layout
The pub is quite small, in a listed riverside building. The narrow doorway leads into a little reception space crammed with little tables and benches on the side, all very traditional dark stained wood and brass. The squeeze past the long bar leads you to the a a similarly cramped, but usable set of tables and an outdoor terrace onto the river which is lovely, but table-less in summer, freezing bloody cold in winter.
The toilets are upstairs, as is a large restaurant area where you can but the same food as in the bar for twice the price. I've never been up there.
Food
Really amazingly good fish, delicious pints of shrimps or prawns and the best chips anywhere in London. The fishcakes with new potatoes and caper sauce are spectacular, filling and feel very good for you.
It's very reasonably priced too, so well worth a visit if you need a good feed, a nice atmosphere and a few pints. The fishcakes and (excellent) fish and chips are �6.50ish, and well worth it. The ploughman's lunch is good too, and the lobster bisque is so wonderfully hearty it's difficult to describe.
Entertainment
Conversation only. A very good rule in my opinion.
