Dean Swift

Great food (I tried the Fish and Chips) and the beer is very good. I sat downstairs and there is a really great pub atmosphere (I'm a tourist). Service is great and food comes out really fast.

Food, service and ambiance all 5 star.
Many options of beer on tap. I had an excellent Ceasar salad and my partner had fish and chips, which he really enjoyed. The service was friendly, efficient and relaxed. We will be back!

Located near the Tower Bridge, maybe a little off the beaten path, the place has a nice vibe and good service. We had gin, chips, and beetroot salad. All is good.

Great friendly service, they give you beer tastings before ordering. Very tasty appetizers. Just steps from the Tower Bridge, stop here for a refueling break from all the walking.

Fantastic! Great service & food! Pork & burger sliders, chips, steak special, Cesar salad, humus, ciders! #towerbridge & #toweroflondan

So I read this article about about the best 25 Sunday roasts this morning, and I thought, I gotta try them all! So I landed at the Dean Swift.

Lovely pub right in between Bermondsey and London Bridge station. Basically next to the tower bridge.

The home brew was good. I guess this is quite subjective, I personally found it a little bland but I liked it enough to have more.

The food was really lovely and that Yorkshire pudding was just amazing! The rosy was just right and those duck fat potatoes, man you gotta try them!

We had both the roast beef and the roast pork.

The roast beef was really nice, and in particular that mustard dipping was superb! The whole meal so just so satisfying and you will not be disappointed. I think if anything I might say my suppose to me medium rare beef was a little more like medium well, but hey it was still good!

The roast pork was basically falling a part as I stab into it. Juicy, succulent, tender, just amazing! The apple cider dip was a class on its own as well and together it was just a superb experience.

I can totally understand why they are top 25!

The only thing I will complaint about, is the crackle on the roast pork. I know they want to show how 'organic' the meat is, so there's still lot of hair on the crackle. Personally I found that a little off putting, and so we basically didn't touch it. Not being picky, there were really lot of hair (see photo).

Another not so ideal would be its location. Being in between two tube stations, basically unless you live there, you will need to walk at least 15 min from station regardless where you get off. In a chilling wet day, it might be a little tough. (But I guess most places are like that anyway, gotta work for the food!)

The 1 star was taken off because of the pork crackles.

This is where you NEED to go to get good local food. They ran out of beef roast that was a bit disappointing but the lamb was sooo good. Such a large portion! The locals were playing trivia. Go to the bar and order your food. There is also seating upstairs.

This was a good pub, however I'm not sure I would call this a gastro pub. I ordered a pint of the Soundwave IPA and the fist and chips. The beer was a good beer, but I'm not still not 100% sure I would call it an IPA (It was missing the hops I usually associate with an IPA). The fish and chips were good - fresh and hot. The service was good and wait staff were friendly. Toilets were clean. I think it was a good place for dinner if you need an option near Tower Bridge.

Excellent Sunday roast. Plenty of options, well cooked food, and good price. Call ahead for reservations.

Love this place. Obviously we showed up on Sunday without a reservation and instead of turning us away they were incredibly friendly and gracious and let us sit up at a small bar area. The beer selection is great and the bartenders are knowledgable and will allow tasters in little shot glasses, which we all had a good laugh about. We ordered the beef roast and it was incredible!! The horseradish and spicy mustard are addicting and definitely cleaned out my sinuses. The plate was massive and satisfying. It's a small dining area downstairs but even when all the tables were full it never felt crowded, overly warm or loud. Would absolutely recommend, and as my first real British food experience I was very impressed.
