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

    Terrible Christmas dinner. Tiny portions, we didn’t get what we ordered. Food provided was not what was advertised. It was evident they had run out of food. We asked to speak to the manager and he couldn’t be bothered to speak to us. Staff confrontational when we complained. £100 per person, terrible value. Got the bill discounted but did not make up, spoilt our Christmas Day celebration with friends. Garrison, do better, food is usually of a high quality and good value, a million miles from today’s experience. Won’t be back

    Great meal at the Garrison. Good advice on the wine, they tweaked meal for me and when the food came it was all delicious. Great ambience - buzzy but not loud - friendly service - excellent place for a delicious and relaxing meal.

    Food was great (and genuinely appreciate its Christmas in what follows) but the staff all seemed really fed up and they had clearly not allowed sufficient time for bookings - we were late being seated which then continued for the people following…. Still had a fab night out but will maybe visit again outside of Christmas!
