Walrus & Carpenter

Loved this place. We came here for dinner, sat upstairs, and pretty much had the whole second floor to ourselves. The décor was beautiful with Alice in wonderland themes. We started off with wine and had a wonderful waitress.
The food was good, but the giant couscous salad is not giant at all. Mac and cheese was very rich. The dessert we ordered– profiteroles– were recommended by the waitress and delicious! The pub downstairs was fairly crowded also, with many friendly business people and staff. A great find in London!

Good food but incredibly slow. Took our waitress an hour and a half for just fish and chips and she forgot our order three times.

Nice Nicholson pub, reasonably priced for the location, right by the Monument. Good selection of real ales on tap.
Can’t say anything about the food… I’m here for the beer!

I ate here as a tourist so my perspective is kinda uninformed. I loved the food! I had the sausage and mash. The potatoes were ok, but the spotted sausage was awesome. My boyfriend had the Sheppard’s pie, which he thought was bland but I kinda liked it, mostly because of the really good root vegetables that it came with. We also got deep fried brie, which was amazing… but really deep fried cheese? hard not to be amazing.
Our server Vicki was really nice and did an awesome job~

This place exceeded my expectations. It is a stones throw from the Tower of London which made it the perfect stop after a recent tour.
Very close to several tube stops as well.
We had a few pints and split a few mains which were all quite good — fresh, tasty — slightly better than the typical pub grub.

#5 on the London Bridge to Tower Bridge DW ale trail is The Walrus & The Carpenter. The name alone makes it amazing.
Although it’s a Nicholson’s pub, it’s able to stand on it’s own being full of charm and wittiness.
Last time I lived here I strolled past during class, then went back on a Sunday meaning it was closed due to St. Paul’s restricted hours/​church/​religious thing reasons.
It’s in a great location, a wonderful building, the dinning room is name ‘Lewis Carroll’ and it’s nice and conveniently by The Monument. I believe there was a large step to get inside of the pub, but I may have been wrong. I’m not too sure how the wheelchair access is here, if it’s a big concern I’d call first to check.
The staff are very friendly, when we arrived the kitchen had actually been closed but they graciously still let us take our pints and spend the rest of the evening alone upstairs. Which was enormous! Perhaps one of the biggest dinning rooms I’ve seen in a Nicholson’s pub yet, but I can’t be quoted as I haven’t been to all of them (I’m getting there though). Excellent for groups if you beat all the suites first.
Again, same menu/​drink list. They have seasonal ales and you can try before you buy. We found the atmosphere excellent, and were very sad when they had to close.
Another fabulous thing are the restrooms, they have even more charm than the pub itself! They truly are like little original powder rooms, wonderfully carpeted with the looking glass and sinks, girly wallpaper making you feel right at home (at least in the ladies).
Due to it being surrounded by business I’m sure this pub gets a lot of people in the after work hours. Yet don’t let that scare you away! Give it a shot, it’s worth ending the evening here.

This place is a part of Nicholson’s group of pubs, so it’s a classic British pub. It’s located right by the Monument, so you can expect an after-​hours business crowd. For snacks, they have a fairly respectable selection of sausages which they serve a whole bunch of different ways and which are quite good. Overall, recommended for a sausage sandwich break if you’re in the area.
