Let’s talk about the real reason we’re here: the food. The menu at Gun 27 is a masterclass in elevated pub grub. Think beer-battered fish with a crunch that shatters perfectly, or a slow-cooked beef pie that tastes like Sunday dinner got a promotion.
Don’t skip the roast on Sundays—it’s legendary among locals, with Yorkshire puddings the size of your face. Pair it with a pint of their rotating cask ale, and you’ve got a meal that justifies the entire trip. Pro tip: call ahead to book, because the regulars guard their tables jealously.
For a lighter bite, the pulled pork nachos are a crowd-pleaser. They’re messy, generous, and exactly what you want after a long walk along the Thames Path. The kitchen closes earlier than you might expect, so check the times before you go—don’t be that person who shows up at 9:30 PM hoping for a full dinner.
Drinks and Atmosphere
The bar is stocked with a thoughtful selection of craft beers, ciders, and even a few natural wines. Ask the bartender for their local recommendation, and you might discover a hidden gem from a Kentish brewery you’ve never heard of. The cocktails are simple but well-made—try a Hanky Panky if you want something with a bit of gin-forward swagger.
The vibe shifts gracefully from afternoon quietude to evening buzz. During the week, you’ll see freelancers tapping away on laptops (the Wi-Fi is free and reliable). By Friday, the crowd swells with Canary Wharf bankers and local artists, all mixing over a shared love for good beer and low pretension.

There’s even a small garden out back, a surprising oasis in the concrete jungle. On a warm evening, it’s the perfect spot to watch the sun set behind the skyscrapers. Grab a seat early, because it fills up faster than a lift in rush hour.
