Flew in from Chicago that day and we were looking for a good, hearty meal. Saw reviews for Roebuck and their Sunday Roast, so we went to check it out since it was close to our AirBNB. 

Not only were the staff absolutely wonderful, but the food was delicious! My husband had the beef roast and I had the fish and chips. Amazing food, great drinks, fun atmosphere. Dog friendly. Everything you could want!

First stop on a visit to London just to have a drink and snack at a pub near our VRBO. Be sure to book a reservation on Sundays. Sunday roast dinner is a big thing. They kindly squeezed us into a table and we had some ciders and appetizers including amazing roast potatoes and yummy sausage rolls.  We were too full for a full meal but watched enormous Yorkshire pudding Sunday roast plated being served.  Would love to go again for full dinner. Also wanted to go back for Tuesday night "Kareroeke". Lovely little place with outdoor seating and tables upstairs and down.

Traditional local pub that does everything right!  Tucked away from the tourist traps, has beautiful outdoor beergarden, friendly and attentive staff, and wonderful drinks and pub food.  Wish I could stay longer!!!

I had such a pleasant time at The Roebuck. Right off the Borough stop on the Northern Line, this pub provides cheap beer, great food, and a homey atmosphere.

They have different events like movie nights and trivia. We got there a bit too late for trivia, but the food we ordered was honestly amazing.

I ordered the beef filet with creamed spinach and a scotch egg. It was cooked perfectly and everything was so tasty. It was a smaller portion than I imagined but very very good. Way better than I planned on it being.

My roommate ordered sausage and mash and loved it. I tried some of the gravy and it was delicious.

Whatever else the Roebuck might be it's certainly individual.  It attracts a hugely varied crowd from scenesters, to poets, artists and a few locals.  Principally this is because it really is able to cater to all tastes.  The interior is traditional enough with lots of wood and a wonderful horse-shoe shaped bar but it reamins quirky with a selection of very intriguing contemporary art that adorns the walls.  Downstairs is the bar area which features lots of comfy, battered-looking sofas whilst upstairs is much more spacious and plays host to DJs and poetry nights.

Food-wise The Roebuck goes for an organic local flavour packing in fresh ingredients to create a very original menu of international and British cuisine.  Whats more they constantly update to follow the seasons so you'll usually find something new and interesting to try.  To match the food the drinks menu is brimming with organic ales, ciders, lagers and wines.  Because of the organic nature prices are a little higher than I might have hoped but the flavour was enough to justify that extra expense.

With its combintation of classicism and modernity and its constant desire for reinvention, The Roebuck guarantees it will be here for a long time to come.

Go here for quiz sometime on a Tuesday's. Quiz is usually running late and you can't book. Quiz prize is a bottle of cheap wine. There is a jackpot that you can win with one right answer right at the end. I would go a different Tuesday quiz to be honest. 

Food is pretty good. Lots of vegetarian options and lots of the general pub burger etc offerings. Their Dahl/veg curry is generally great and no need for salt. Lots of little share bits to choose from too. 

Their house red is very easy to drink. 

Bar service is sometime super super slow but there are a couple of fantastic guys working there too. Have walked out before as I was at the bar and no one served me and it wasn't busy.

What a lovely pub. I at first thought it might be a bit gastro, but I think it knows where the line is because most of the people in the pub seemed to be just there for drinking and no-one has an issue with that. There was an upstairs so maybe that is more foodie. I actually had the most unusual, but very tasty and messy Celeriac rosti burgerwhich was a special that they were experimenting with. I was asked my opinion..which was definitely in the positive. Some people might find it a bit dimly litbut it felt kinda right somehow.


 The drinks were mostly from purity (their 2 excellent ales) and Meantime (they had a smoked beer.but it was a bit strong (6% +) for the first drink of the evening). The bar staff were friendly (and the barmaid was stunning). Definitely a place I will be coming back toI'm pretty sure I came here 10 years ago to watch some football, but it was a very different species then!

I have always favoured The Roebuck over other London Bridge/Borough pubs as the pub has a relaxed and unpretentious feel and manages to attract a varied young and local clientele.

We sat on a long oak table and happily swapped between playing Guess Who and Connect 4 for a few hours the moved on to their extensive bar menu. I was disappointed that on a Saturday night they didn't have ANY of the three main dishes that we asked for. We instead decided to order burgers, which were fine though we were all disappointed with the chips and the ketchup that accompanied them (the chips were undercooked and they seemed to have run out of tomato ketchup so gave us a poor passata instead)

They have a good range of local beers (they stock 4 types of Greenwich Meantime beer) and a selection of organic ciders.

As a frequent visitor to the neighborhood over the last few years, I was surprised to only recently discover The Roebuck. 

It's quite a spacious pub, with mismatched tables in the main room and a couple of couches in a smaller back room. There's also an upstairs private room for functions, etc. I went in for lunch and was happy to see an unexpected variety of both appetizers and main dishes. It seems that the menu changes quite often and doesn't include a lot of typical pub fare. I had the steak burger, yet had I not been craving a burger, I would've had a hard time choosing from a menu that included a beetroot & goat cheese salad, butternut squash risotto, smoked duck salad, and pan fried skate. There was also a small selection of homemade desserts, such as sorbet and apple tart. The beer selection was decent, with a small variety of draughts and bottles.

I was here early afternoon on a Saturday and found the atmosphere to be very pleasant. The bartenders were friendly and there was a varied crowd of both young and old having a pint and playing board games. I'm assuming that it attracts quite a large local crowd, especially on trivia night.

I love this pub.
Drinks are very reasonably priced, the pours are great in their cocktails too. 
The decor is lovely, very typical london pub( which I adore).
Highly recommend.
