The Coal Shed Restaurant London is located at One Tower Bridge on the banks of the River Thames. The Coal Shed was born from the love of cooking the finest meat and seafood over fire.

The restaurant uses the highest quality ingredients, sourced as locally as possible. Try the 35-day aged sharing steaks or the South Coast sharing fish for a dining experience to remember.

The Coal Shed London, occupies two floors and a bar for pre and post dinner drinks and cocktails expertly crafted (it's not possible to stay at the bar at the moment due to the pandemic but if we have an available table, we will be delighted to seat you until we need it back). If you want to host your own event, there is a private dining room on the mezzanine or the restaurant can be exclusively hired for any type of occasion (following all Government Guidelines for numbers and social distancing).

Very overpriced with everything you would expect to be a part of the main course charged as extra. We would not return. Poor value for money. Food decent but lacking little touches. Eg fish in a sauce served on a cold plate, meaning that by the time it arrived at the table, the sauce was tepid at best, and very shortly cold.

I went to this restaurant with family 3 adults I asked for fillet steak, which I asked for medium but came very well done, sent it back then they gave me another one which they butterflied, I have never in my life had a thin bit of fillet butterflied. Had just chips in the end. Obviously they took it off the bill. But very disappointed. Chefs obviously can’t cook.

Pre theatre dinner and drinks at this well located spot. Really good, friendly service. Theatre menu is ok. Great starters. Burgers only done well so a bit dry - but understand that these can’t be cooked otherwise. Nice place. Good decor. Great people!

We had the pre theatre 2 course offer. The starters were very tasty. Had the burgers for main ,which we were told had to be well done. To be honest I found that slightly dry and would have preferred medium. The chips were wonderful.

The Coal Bin restaurant is near Tower Bridge. Despite its proximity to the tourist areas, it seems to be a favorite with locals that the tourists haven't discovered. Food is delicious and creative and the staff is helpful and friendly.

Good location and with partial river views from the outside tables it's a nice place for lunch. Food was pretty good all round without being memorable. The main thing I remember is that the scallops starter was in fact just one scallop which for £13.50 was very expensive.

After waiting over 1hr 30mins our food came but two of the steaks were not cooked to the requested temperature. The broccoli side dish was cremated. The steaks were not seasoned which resulted in tasting very bland. Such a waste of our time. Not a pleasant evening having to endure such a long wait then to be served below average food.

Meat wasn’t as good as I thought It was going to be… The meat was pretty tough.. The design of the plates they have means your knife falls into the gravy. Which can be pretty annoying when it keeps happening..

Having been a customer of the coal shed in Brighton for many years I was very impressed with the London one. Comparing it to the other steak houses in London it is high up on my list. The sides where some of the best I’ve had in a steak restaurant. Please don’t serve me slices of a cherry tomato as a garnish in my G)

The food we had was delicious although I was a little dissappointed that the starters selection on the website didn't match what we were offered on the night. We had a similar issue with our choice of wine but that didn't detract from what was a very enjoyable evening.

Awful. Starters (pork belly and two oysters) took an hour to be served and then the pork belly was served uncooked and cold. It took a further 15 minutes waiting for tobasco for the oysters (it said served with). Roast dinner came out - initial thoughts were it looked lovely. Roast potatoes were pale, undercooked and cold. Yorkshire - cold. Cauliflower cheese - hard, undercooked and warm (this should have been piping hot). The best thing about the dinner was the carrots - they were also the hottest! We asked to speak with the manager and were told they were busy. We didn’t eat any of the food and got up and left.
