Every area needs a certified ‘nice pub’ and Bermondsey’s is The Garrison. An easy breezy gastropub with that whole exposed brick and vintage lampshades thing going on, it serves delightful small plates like courgette flowers, tomato and ricotta salads, and quality sourdough to mop up all the leftover jus. The snacks and small plates section of the menu is perfect for after-work group meals alongside pints but there are also some larger pricy options if you’re feeling properly famished.
