The Boot & Flogger, Southwark, SE1

Rex Rattus left this review about The Boot & Flogger

This one looks a bit like a pub when you go in the main bar, but in fact it's nothing like a pub. As you enter there's a separate room on the right, but the main area is on the left. As you enter the room on the left there's a glazed publican's office on the right, further down from which is the longish bar counter that has a very pubby feel to it. On the left is traditional seating with some screening separating drinking/dining spaces further towards the back giving it something of an intimate feel. All good so far.

But you aren't permitted to sit at, or purchase drinks at the bar, with table service the only option. When I and my two chums visited they did have one beer available - bottles of Shepherd Neame Whitstable Pale Ale at £7.50 a pop. The waitress attempted to pour one of our bottles - into a glass filled with ice before we all told her to stop! As I said, not really much like a pub, but of course they don't pretend to be a pub.
