Good Beer Guide pub near Borough Station. Owned by Harveys, and so normally has the full range of Harveys including the seasonals.

It has two bars. On a visit in July 2008, the beers were Best Bitter (£2.90/pint), pale (£2.70), mild (£2.60), Olympia (£3), Copperwheat and the seasonal Tom Paine (£3.20), as well as an extensive range of Weston's ciders. Service is friendly, as are the regulars found propped along the bar.

The food is very good with interesting specials. It's served noon-3pm and 5pm-9:30pm Monday-Friday, 6pm-9:30pm Saturday, and noon-5pm Sunday (roast lunch, with a vegetarian option).

Kake tried one of the specials on a Monday evening in June 2008; salmon fishcakes served with chips and salad (£8.50) photo. The fishcakes appeared to be deepfried, and didn't hold together very well, and the accompanying salad had no dressing. The tartare sauce looked and tasted home-made though, and the chips were fine.

Can be hard to find; make sure you have a map if you've not been there before (Tabard Street is diagonally opposite Borough Station, running behind the prominent church building). Note: BITE comments as of March 2008 say it now opens earlier than 6pm on Saturdays.
