The Wibbley Wobbley was a pub situated inside a boat moored in Greenland Dock on the east side of the [[Locale Rotherhithe|Rotherhithe]] peninsula. [https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/were-not-floating-plans-to-scrap-wibbley-wobbley-say-southwark-council/ According to the Southwark News], it was closed by 2015. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Advertising itself as "England's only floating pub", the Wibbley Wobbley is a pub situated inside a boat moored in Greenland Dock on the east side of the [[Locale Rotherhithe|Rotherhithe]] peninsula. It's a little cramped inside near the bar, though there's more room further back than you might expect. A floating pontoon attached to the side of the boat provides external seating space, which is quite nice on a sunny day (though note it's rather more wobbly than the boat itself). [[Kake]] and [[doop]] visited on a Sunday Bank Holiday afternoon in May 2008. No cask ales, but they did have Old Speckled Hen on tap (£2.80/pint). They also had other standard pub fizz including Strongbow. There were a fair few other customers, most of them enjoying the weather outside on the pontoon, but we managed to get a table out there too. [[Kake]] visited again on a Wednesday evening in October 2008. It was pretty much empty apart from a regular at the bar, a couple in a corner, and three young men unwinding after work. No piped music. Strongbow was £1.40/half. They were doing food during our May 2008 visit, including "roast rib of beef with Yorkshire pudding and all the veggies" (£9.50) and "goats cheese, thyme and red onion tart with proper veggie gravy, asparagus and new potatoes" (£8.50) <small>[http://flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/2525552654/ photo of that day's menu]</small></small>; not sure whether food is served throughout the week. Signage on the boat indicates that there's a restaurant upstairs called French Fred's, but the BITE comments linked below suggest that this is no longer actually in existence as a separate concern (and we didn't check). Accessibility: Fairly steep set of steps down to get in, with very low handrail. Toilets are minuscule, with heavy enough doors that [[Kake]] momentarily thought they'd locked themself in. <div class="getting_here"><b>Getting here:</b> The map link on this page is accurate; note that many online maps have the pointer in the wrong place (the centre of the postcode).</div> See also: * [http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/comments.shtml/5470/ Beer In The Evening comments] * [http://fancyapint.com/pub/2347 Fancyapint review] <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[Kake]], October 2008.</div> </div>
