This is my local, the food is of consistent quality and there are a couple of my favourite drinks available. Dependable.

Meeting my friend who is now working in the area. We won’t return. Plus points — spacious inside and out. Minus points: –Dirty tables –Smell –Regulars with broken teeth selling stolen food –Bootleg DVD sellers(um, are the 90’s back?) Go elsewhere to the eateries or establishments near the Surrey Quays shopping centre.

This Wetherspoons dates back to when all this was fields. ok not fieldsbut docks. None of this Canary Wharf skyscraper nonsense nearby! Its therefore basically a fairly standard pub of the chain. Fff Alton Pride was a very nice pint. There wasn’t really anything else that interesting to drink though.

Ick. I’ve been to a lot of Wetherspoons and generally I’m a fan. Even those with not so fantastic reputations I can appreciate on one level or another. This is an exception. While there is a lot of space, inside and out, The Surrey Docks is on a corner of a busy road in Surrey Quays. Not pleasant for Al-fresco drinking. More like a local pub than a chain, it takes forever to get served for all the chatting to the regulars. This must be nice for them, but given how busy the place can get service needs to be a bit sharper. My pint was dirty when I eventually got it. We were going to grab a bite to eat before the cinema, but given how sticky the tables all were and the general smell from the overall pub — I decided to grab a sandwich from Tesco. Ick.

Le meilleur endroit pour déjeuner, dîner et prendre une bière à Surrey Quays. C’est un pub traditionnel sans prétention et sympa.

Decent pub, right on a street corner across from the Surrey Quays Overground station. It’s a pretty typical Wetherspoon’s pub, which means that you can get some good deals on drinks and meals. Beer and burger for £4.99; 2 cocktail pitchers for £10; 2 Jägerbombs for £5… need I go on? The food is satisfying. The pub itself is not cramped, so you can usually find a place to sit. There are also a good amount of tables outside so you can enjoy the few nice days in London. There are 3 TVs, but only 2 show the football games(the one facing the upper level seats has no remote [as of June 2012], so they can’t change the channel!). As in anywhere in London, the clientele is relatively diverse, but you do get a fair share of locals who can be charming or annoyingly loud. Unfortunately I’ve experienced more of the latter.

Attracts the usual local bermondsey crowd, with the odd expat and professionals now and then. This place does get busy and unpleasant during weekends but luckily it has a large seating area to the back where you can have a nice drink away from some of the noise. It would be nice drinking outside on a nice summers night but the last time we went, the bouncers stopped us from taking drinks outside. Not sure if this is the norm though, as I remember drinking outside once, but this was a while back. Service here is friendly but slightly slow. All in all not too bad of a place for a drink but I only come here if other places are closed. If I can remember correctly, I believe this place stops serving at 1am.

One of the first places I came to when I moved to the area! This JD weatherspoon is lively and friendly. The atmosphere is buzzing and there is wide age range of local drinkers. It gets very packed when football or boxing is on, but well worth it — love those two massive 47 inch plasma screens. I think its best to go here on a Friday or Saturday for a few drinks before you hit the town! The décor is quite traditional but warming. It is spacious and in a great main road corner location — so everyone can see you have had a bit to drink! I love this pub and life would be quite dull without it!

The Surrey Docks has a traditional pub feel without charging exorbitant prices. There is a large outdoor seating area, great for summer nights. It is a comfy, homey place to get some food or drinks with friends. Don’t be fooled by the name, you can’t see the Thames from the restaurant… which might be a good thing out in the Docklands.

The Surrey Docks is part of the Wetherspoons group and definitely has that typical Wetherspoon vibe. It is a large pub and a little rough around the edges. There is an outside seating area which is usually occupied by groups of younger people who have usually drank one too many cheap pints! The inside isn’t too much better but it is insanely cheap to drink and eat here. I have to admit, I’m actually quite a fan of Wetherspoons pub grub as the portions are decent and very good value. The same applies here and I sampled the burger and chips which was very tasty and for around £5, I couldn’t have asked for better. The bar staff are also friendly and definitely have their work cut out! I wouldn’t really come here for a nice evening drink but it is fine as a stop point or if you are strapped for cash and need a good meal!

Well what I can say about this weatherspoons in Surrey quays. Simply put, it’s a weatherspoons, no bells and whistles but it does have a reasonably large seating area outside, and in the recent years it has got TV’s to show the sports scores to who that interests. As with all weatherspoons pubs they have a large selection of ales, and beers, which suits me fine, But if you’re not the talkative type then don’t bother as there is nothing else here, they do not host entertainment. The also have 1 or 2 sofas throughout the pub for extra confort, but not in the best location, The pub is usually clean and tidy, and the meals are edible. But not amazing. Not too much a microwave can do really
