THE GUN E9

Review analysis
food   drinks  

Hello and welcome to The Gun, a booze emporium built in 1860 or thereabouts.

We wanted to continue the tradition of The Gun being a local pub for meeting, drinking, eating and laughing.

We really like people, and think the local pub is a place to celebrate humans, so on the whole we are pretty nice to our customers and you will find a very friendly atmosphere of like minded souls.

The Gun is small but perfectly formed over three floors, with a roof terrace and private room for hire at the top called The Gun Powder room.

Basically The Gun is a bloody good local.

A Grade II listed early 19th century building, steeped in history, The Gun is located on the banks of the River Thames in the heart of the Docklands.

The Gun takes its name from the cannon, fired to celebrate the opening of the West India Import Docks in 1802 and was allegedly home to Lord Nelson’s secret assignations with his lover Lady Emma Hamilton.

The pub has been painstaking restored to its former glory, and with a multitude of stunningly refurbished private dining rooms and snug areas to discover, is the perfect destination to settle in with a bottle of fine wine and lose your self in the company of your guests.

The Gun serves a strictly British seasonal menu, with daily changing specials.

They are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, with the choice of their carefully crafted fine dining menus and their less formal pub menu for their hungry patrons.

Hidden away in Coldharbour, The Gun is a great riverside spot offering great views of the O2.

The pub - which was taken over by Fullers in 2016 - has been a much-favoured drinking spot for centuries and is said to have been a favourite of Lord Horatio Nelson back in the 1700s.

Restaurant review: The Gun

Review analysis
food   staff   drinks  

he asked a very sweet and patient South African waitress at The Gun, a proper old boozer on the banks of the Thames where Admiral the Lord Nelson used to give Lady Hamilton a jolly rogering upstairs.

But for those of you who may have missed it then, it concerns how at boarding school, every Wednesday lunch without fail for five years, Anthony brought up his macaroni cheese and was forced to drop to all fours and ingest every morsel again.

It sounds demented, yet knowing a little of remote English public schools in the days before political correctness went mad, who's to say that the man now known to our poker school as Tony Macaroni isn't telling the God's honest?

Despite my reassurance that we were sitting next to a rail over which Anthony could very easily chuck on to the river bank without being noticed, she rejected the bribe.

Minor embarrassment ensued when the waitress, lured into assuming that Anthony had finished the pie by the fag glowing in his hand, tried to remove the plates.

value   food  

Typical of the ETM chain, the Gun is an attractively spruced-up pub, with attentive staff and stiff prices.

The restaurant menu is available throughout – not just in the smartly dressed dining space – and there’s a standalone bar menu too.

The handsome bar counter is lined with real ales (Adnams bitter is a regular, and there’s always a guest ale), but also offers cocktails and a global wine list.

Better value is to be found on the bar menu, where £7.50 buys a substantial ‘fish finger sandwich’ (more like goujons in toast) served with plenty of tartare sauce, and a decent steak sandwich with caramelised onions and horseradish cream is £9.50.
