Qype: The Market Porter in London

London - Food & Drink - Delicatessen - Pubs & Bars - Pubs

An institution in the Borough Market area and the pub with the most charm out of the collection surrounding the area. However, that charm does mean it pays the price of being very very busy at times.

It's pretty much your quintessential boozer insider - all wood, brass, barrels for tables and real ale. There's a decent amount of room inside, but it's not huge by any stretch of the imagination. It has a lot of real ale on offer so for any CAMRA fans, this is a decent pub to head for a visit.

It gets very popular in the evenings, and you can often find yourself forced out onto the street outside - not the worst thing as the pub's atmosphere flows out onto the street and its a generally very friendly crowd. However, the delights of the British weather can make it a bit of a lottery especially on a Friday night.

It's been said already - but despite it being very busy the service is pretty decent and they get through serving people quickly, generally are good at getting the order right and are friendly.

Food here is your typical pub grub - but of a pretty good quality.

Oh and as dmj1962 says - if you fancy a beer at 6am, this place is open for business...always a bit alarming when I work past it on the way to an early start to work and there's a load of people tucking into their pints(!)
