Getting a clear
vote (in my opinion) as the best restaurant on Bermondsey Street…The Garrison
Public House is an absolute must. It’s the continuous variety that gives this gastropub such charm and appeal. From candles…to free hanging light-bulbs…to a
chandelier of light-expelling tea cups…to low hanging vintage lampshades…the
lighting is a theme in itself. Team this with an eclectic mismatch of tables
and chairs, white-washed wooden walls and ornate points of interest in every
corner, and you begin to get an idea of just how quirky and beautiful this
interior is.
Variety continues with how this space is broken up- a row of elevated booths sit to the back of the restaurant, while a scatter of tables sit in the middle. There are a small number of stools to perch on beside the bar and high tables and chairs line the window sill at the front of the restaurant.
Enough ranting about the design, the food is worth a big mention too. Daily specials compliment an already very appealing menu. Expect rich, hearty meals like caremelised onion and gruyere tart, smoked haddock kedgeree, Aberdeen lamb chops or confit duck leg. The mixed berries Eton mess and lemon meringue pie are reliable choices from the dessert menu.

Also on offer here
are lovely breakfast and afternoon tea menus and more unusually, a small cinema
showing weekly screenings every Sunday.
