In May 2013 [[Kake]] tried the puy lentil, feta, and tomato salad (&pound;9.25) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8842017904/ photo]</small>. It was fine, though the lentils were a little too <i>al dente</i> for my taste, and it was pretty expensive for what it was.

Fuller's Ale & Pie House just south of London Bridge (the bridge, not the station).

They have a range of Fuller's beers over a number of handpulls, including Pride, ESB, HSB, Chiswick and others. London Porter was £3.10/pint in November 2007. The Pride was also very drinkable. Draught lagers and Honey Dew are also available.

They have wifi, with the password displayed on a board behind the bar.

According to the Fuller's website as of June 2012, food is served noon-9pm Mon-Fri, noon-10pm Tue-Sat, and noon-7pm Sun. It's standard Fuller's ale and pie house stuff.

It used to have more restricted opening hours on the weekend, and was available for hire outside these hours, but we're not sure if it's still possible to hire any part of the pub now it's open more often.

Accessibility: Several steps at the entrance. The toilets are down a flight of stairs, and if there's a step-free way of getting down there, it's not obvious.
