Hi Gary just came across your vlog of the prospect of Whitby, myself and my family go there for a lunch once a year, to remember my mother She worked in the pud 1946 behind the bar, one night a robber came in pointed a shotgun at the ceiling and blew a hole in it, my mum gave him the money from the till, he escaped down pelican stairs into a waiting boat,

Gary, Next time you're in Wapping, try the Il Bordello Italian Restaurant which is just a few doors along from The Prospect of Whitby. Wonderful selection of dishes, big portions, very reasonably priced and always busy of an evening with a wonderful ambience. I've been using the restaurant for many years, even at its' previous location of opposite the Metropolitan Police River Division's engineering building in Wapping.

I have eaten at this place myself, I had fish and chips which I can recommend. There is a vast history to this pub, particularly regarding Judge Jeffreys, who used to lodge here when he was at the London assizes. He allegedly sentenced over 400 people to death from this area, he was later captured in the alleyway by The Town Of Ramsgate pub which is just down the road from this pub, he was dressed as a woman to try and escape capture. The Collier The Prospect Of Whitby docked here regularly to avoid paying extra charges for using the river closer to London. Again this was an excellent and honest review and in this area The Prospect of Whitby does define gastropub food very well with a solid menu and a very decent price considering where it is placed in London. Gary could we see some reviews of pubs across the water from here like The Mayflower, this pub stands on the site where The Mayflower actually sailed to The New World with The Pilgrim Fathers. It's definitely got a diverse menu coupled with some great history and I think subscribers to your channel would enjoy a review of the food in particular and its position in the history of the area.

Good to see the Prospect has improved. Used to be a lovely place then seemed to go through some years when it was a tourist trap and not a very good one at that with the food terrible only outdone by the even poorer service. Great to see its back, perhaps the new money around it helped. I had planned on an upcoming trip to take a drink here for old times sake, now I may well eat there as well.

This pub is a well known pub for Londoner's. The gallows go with the story that pirates and criminals were tried in the pub and executed at low tide. The truth or just folklore? Who knows. Back in the 90's when I moved back to the UK. I took my kids on a pub tour of famous London boozer's. This was on that list. Sadly many of those old pubs were changed into various types of restaurants, no longer pubs. This was a great review and I'm happy to see it still remains a pub.

We've been to the Prospect quite a few times. I dont think we do food well in the UK and this is typical of uk pub food. Not awful but nothing amazing either. Worth a look but dont get your hopes up, very touristy. Il Bordello the Italian near to the prospect is excellent if you like Italian, the Veal chop is amazing with fries and a green salad. San Danielle Bruschetta as a starter is epic, huge portions as well.

You should have visited it in the 1960's, then it had more character especially on a Saturday night. No food back then, just good beer, packet of crisps and a squeeze to get to the bar. Outside 2/6 to keep an eye on your car mister! On the terrace the real smell of the river with lots of barges and traffic. Its a bit like anywhere else now, just aimed at tourists.

Gary, I am going to be in London next month and have limited time. I want to visit a few pubs, however, I have to kind of narrow it down to which ones I really want to go to. I am definitely doing Ye Olde Mitre and Ye Olde Cheshire cheese, but want to know between Prospect of Whitby and The Mayflower, which one would you choose?
@GaryEats
@GaryEats 7 ай бұрын
I would recommend the prospect of Whitby as it has so much history and is a beautiful pub on the river

What a fantastic place and that really is a plate of food that I would enjoy. I'm surprised you didn't give it 10. Was that because of the beef being a bit overdone?

What a great place to have a great pub!! The noose made me smile😊 The plate of food looked ok but didn't impress me that much to be frank. I think there is a lot of literature on the menus these days to hype up the sales. What's the point of serving raw cherry tomatoes when you advertise blistered tomatoes on the menu? Also, the chips were very few and not that crispy either. You can only be the judge on that steak but from where I'm sitting, that wasn't the best sirloin. Perhaps the sauces could have been on a separate plate too? Little sauce pots on the plate make it difficult to eat comfortably. I do apologize for being negative, but it is only an observation. Thanks do much for a fantastic review.

Have been watching your reviews for a few days now. Have noticed you have a big smile on your face when in Old Pubs with historic atmosphere, which I feel is nudging up the points for the food. Steak looked beyond Medium and you seemed to struggle cutting it. Uncooked Toms is not right with this type of meal, they normally go on the griddle to get some charring which was not done. For a London Pub though good value and decent sized meal.

It's a pub me n my mate end up in when we a half marathon in spring every year. Last time I went in I had Fish n Chips and for best part of £20 I expected better. A small handful of chips just doesn't cut it, not much better than wetherspoons.

Liked the chips and onion rings, definately not frozen but would question portion size. The plate looked to be on the small size. The steak was medium at best. Why do chefs seem incapable of cooking a steak to order. The price seemed to be bob on to me and love beef dripping gravy. Not fussed about peppercorn sauce. Where the chips cooked in beef dripping. An aroma that takes you you to the seaside. All in all quality fayre at a reasonable price. Score 8.75/10.

They struggle to cook the thinner steaks to order, it's become a re-occurring pattern in a lot of steakhouses that I go to! I'm obsessed with beef dripping gravy, it's incredible. Thanks for watching all of my previous videos John :)
