The Mitre
Overlooking the Thames with one of London's most enviable beer gardens, this riverside gastropub perfectly balances proper pub atmosphere with elevated food. Dogs and their humans are equally welcome at this waterside gem.
About The Mitre
## Thames-Side Perfection
Few pubs in London can claim a setting quite like The Mitre's. Perched right on the Thames with uninterrupted river views, it's the kind of place that makes you forget you're still in Zone 2. The interior strikes the perfect balance between cosy pub and smart dining room, while the riverside terrace is pure magic on sunny days.
## What to Order
The menu elevates pub classics without losing their soul. The beer-battered fish and chips is exemplary, while the slow-cooked lamb shoulder easily feeds two. Their weekend brunch draws crowds for good reason, particularly the full English with proper black pudding. The wine list impresses, but don't overlook the carefully curated beer selection.
## When to Visit
Summer evenings on the terrace are unbeatable, especially during sunset. Weekend brunches are popular with families and dog walkers from Bishops Park. Winter sees locals huddled around the fireplace with pints and newspapers. The kitchen serves food until 9pm weekdays, 10pm weekends.
## Booking Tips
Terrace tables can't be reserved but are worth the wait. Indoor dining bookings are recommended for weekends, especially for groups of four or more. They're famously dog-friendly, with water bowls and treats always available.
