The Moby Dick, Greenland Dock — Restaurant in London

🚇 Canada Water 🍺 £5.60 Amstel ❤️ A modern dockside boozer. . The Moby Dick is perched on the edge of Greenland Dock in the heart of Rotherhithe. The nearest Tube is Canada Water which is a ten minute walk. . This pub was built in the 1980’s as part of the redevelopment of the old timber yards around Greenland Dock. It was the only new pub to be built as part of the redevelopment of the area. . This pub is set over two floors with the upstairs bar reserved for busier times and functions. The decor is simple, the main ground floor bar is a semi-circular room with a long curved front wall comprising of a series of floor to ceiling windows. There is modern wood flooring throughout, bare brick walls and columns with ledges to congregate around. The servery is a good size with a solid wood counter. At the front of the pub are plenty of benches which overlook Greenland Dock. . This Fullers pub has a good beer selection including four cask ales. I decided on a pint of Amstel, my pint was great and cost less than six quid. The food menu was traditional pub grub, Fish & Chips costs £17.95. . I arrived around 3.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. The pub was fairly busy with the majority of punters enjoying the spring sunshine on the benches by the water. I stayed inside and got talking to a very nice local chap sat at the bar. We were talking as you can imagine about pubs and life in general. He mentioned that he had a tough time with health problems which he has overcome, we both came to the conclusion that life is for living and enjoying yourself whenever you can. . This pub may not be the most aesthetically pleasing boozer you’ll ever visit but the location is fantastic, as it looks out over Greenland Dock. The staff and locals were very friendly and the beer and food not overly priced. The @moby_dickph is well worth a visit as part of a stroll around this historic dock. . ℹ️ Info correct on...

I am a local in the area, and I will not go back here or recommend it to anyone.

Over the last year, I've been a regular for Sunday Roast, an occasional pint, and have brought them 50-100 customers. I don't believe it's worth recommending any more. It's not worth it.

I have nothing to gain from sharing my experience publicly. Just that the staff was extremely rude and uncourteous.

I came in with a few friends and sat down for pints and were sipping on it as we often do on a hot summer day. Just then, my other friends came in to join us. They asked for a glass of tap water. The staff declined them rudely on the premise that they're not paying customers despite us having bought beers already -- which is a bit strange given they're with us, but we let it slide.

Shortly after we went in to get more beers, and asked for tap water. The staff said no yet again, saying I can't give water to my friends as they are not paying customers, which seemed illogical and the tone was rude. He went on to harp about the fact that they pay bills for water and they won't give it to people who are not customers.. and that we should just buy a glass bottle of water if it's for the friends.

This behaviour to me is absolutely unacceptable especially after we've spent well over £50. I said the water is for me, and after back and forth that is uncalled for they finally gave me some water.

I am proud local of the culture & heritage at the Surrey Docks, and I've brought numerous new people to this pub from all over, all collectively we've easily spent £1000. However, this really put us off and we're not going back.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at The Moby Dick Greenland Dock. I visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and while I understand it was busy, the bar staff made no effort to greet or acknowledge customers with a smile.

I waited 30 minutes for a simple bowl of chips, only to receive them undercooked, drenched in oil, and completely unseasoned—no salt, condiments, or even a napkin. I had to get up and collect salt and condiments myself, which should have been provided in the first place. When I politely pointed this out to the waitress and asked for the chips to be taken away, there was no apology or offer to replace them.

The worst part of my visit, however, was witnessing a deeply upsetting incident. An Asian woman who appeared intoxicated but was not being aggressive was forcibly removed from the premises by the owner, a woman, who loudly and rudely demanded that she leave, creating an unnecessary scene in front of customers. Shockingly, several staff members (a group of 5/6 young men) joined in, mocking her and using offensive language.

It was appalling to see such a lack of professionalism and basic decency. A more responsible approach would have been to refuse the woman additional drinks earlier or offer assistance instead of resorting to public humiliation.

Overall, this was one of the worst hospitality experiences I’ve had—rude staff, poor service, and a complete disregard for customer care. I will not...
