The Garrison Public House is a bustling neighbourhood restaurant at the heart of Bermondsey Streets creative community and just a short skip from the comestible delights of Borough Market. We take full advantage of being an independent restaurant; from our quirky, inimitable interior to our considered wine list and engaging staff, we make sure everything we do is done with The Garrison style. We are open everyday for lunch and dinner and our menu focuses on seasonal produce from our favourite artisan suppliers. Downstairs, our Cinema Room is available for private hire

The staff were lovely and attentive, and the food tasted good. However the portions were very, very small (particularly mains and sides). Two of our party ordered the gnocchi, and had we not been there to celebrate a birthday and no one wanted to make a fuss, we would have complained. The other meals (steak and Hake) were acceptable, but only just. We came to the Garrison to celebrate, as we have done in the past, but we are not likely to return. The food was delicious, but we all left feeling hungry, ripped off and tense - because no one wanted to state the obvious. The Garrison is not cheap and on this occasion was absolutely not worth the money. It was very disappointing and marred the occasion us.

There was no beer on tap when we arrived and no bottle alternatives. Eventually the beer pumps were fixed. I arrived 30 minutes early and asked to sit quietly and read my paper but was turned away. I went across the street and was welcomed with a G&T and excellent service. I will not rush back.

The roast was delicious and the service very good, just a shame we were on quite an uncomfortable high table with a baby but otherwise it was a fantastic experience.

Odd experience filled with nonsense. - Table: we were put on a high table even though half the restaurant was empty - waiter constantly trying to upsell (and definitely trying to scam us on payment) - food took 90mins to arrive. Duck overcooked. Filleted fish with so many bones it was inedible. - the bill was an absolute joke. Included extra meals, £9 for 3 bottles of water even though the waiter said it was free refills, corkage but we didn’t bring our own wine - for the price, expected the food to be spot on and on time. For the history of the place expected the staff to know what they were and not try to upsell and get a bigger tip. The latter made it completely awkward and ruined the meal in the end.
