Drinking establishments in Welling

“Authentic Brazilian food!!! Love this place, have been a couple time and every time I wanna go back again, food is delicious.”

“Large local pub with a lot of history (the whole area, "The Blue" us named after it). A good selection of beers and friendly staff. The pub was completely shuttered all over covid and I was worried that it would close forever, but it's back now under new ownership. It's clearly a good place for watching sport.”

“What a welcomed surprise at the Founders Arms. My mom and I took our first trip from the sunshine of Florida to a late November cold winter visit to London. We were so blessed to have stumbled upon this amazing place while on a personal walking tour with a friend who lives in London walking from Buckingham Palace to see the Change of Guard, to Big Ben and now across the Thames to this part of town. Neither she or her colleagues have ever visited this Pub so it was a first time for everyone. We immediately walked in from the bitter cold and were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Once our party of 3 were sat down, we had had a prime spot away from the crowded bar and middle tables and were placed closer to the back area. This was ideal because we had a river view of the Thames that opened up to a postcard picture of the city with people walking by on the outside. Not only did we get placed in a great spot, our server OLLIE was a complete gem. His service was impeccable, thoughtful and genuine. He also made us feel welcomed and not as tourists. He laughed with us and gave us some inside information on other things to see and do around Borough Market. The menu was all Gluten Free and that worked perfect for my friend’s dietary needs. What also worked was that my mom and I wanted to experience our first Pub meal of the famous “Fish and Chips.” We knew London was famous and well known for this simple meal, but when it arrived at our table, we were shocked that this was like a King/Queen sized meal that was unexpected and with their smashed peas. I didn’t know this was a thing, but Hulk Smash all the peas because they were good. The whole meal was WOW! My pictures do not do it justice. We even ordered my mom’s meal To-Go back to our flat. It actually stayed hot and was very well packaged for the journey. Kudos to the chef and the staff. Be prepared to spend at least 30£ per person as a side note. In the UK, the tip is already included so expect to be treated like royalty. Ollie was amazing in service. I’m so sorry to have waited this long to write about our experience, but it’s finally here. If he forgot something, he quickly apologized and brought it to the table right away. He also gave some helpful suggestions when trying some of the non-alcoholic drinks. The Apple and Elderflower was out of this world and so was the Hot Honey and Pineapple drink that my friend ordered and I had a sample sip. Wow! Whoever came up with these drink menus are to be commended. I mean wow. They were quite expensive for the first time guest, however we now know what to expect. Thank you Ollie and the Founder’s Arms for making our first trip to a Pub memorable, exciting, fun as well as giving us our first taste of London.”

“We’ve always loved the WTF, and it’s pretty much been our local since moving here 4yrs ago. However, what a breathe of fresh air it’s had recently with the renovation, and Exale brewery taking over!! A total triumph and such an exciting and welcomed addition to the area. This place brings something different to the other pubs I feel. It has a combination of great beers on tap (their pale rose is also gorgeous and such a bargain!) it’s super relaxed and welcoming to all types of people - young and old, family groups and lots of young people too. Staff are super friendly, lots of new faces and Short Road pizza is totally unbeatable! Love the weekly special offers too. What a cracking local boozer!! 5 stars all round xx”

“First time visiting with my friends and will definitely be back! Food was lovely and a very welcoming atmosphere, a special thank you to Clio who served us and was amazing! So glad I found this gem!”

“Wow - how can I even begin to describe the night we had at the Three Compasses in Dalston! Fabio made sure we had the best time - the atmosphere was second to none and the vibes were absolutely excellent. I celebrated my birthday here and I will be back every year here after!!!”

“We have visited here many times, simply because of the location, the food, the pub itself and the great service. Almost every time we visit, we are served by the lovely Angela. She always remembers us and greets us with a friendly smile. She has a wonderful sense of humour and always makes our visit a pleasure along with her lovely customer service. Will be visiting many more times in the future”

“Attended pub to attend a birthday party, very pleasant evening, great atmosphere, live music entertainment, a fantastic evening”

“Nice pub, good atmosphere, friendly staff. As a new customer, I was made to feel welcome by staff and customers”

“We held my grandad’s wake at The Nag’s Head last week and I honestly couldn’t fault them. Artur, the general manager, was incredibly helpful throughout and made the whole process so easy for us. The staff were kind, attentive and respectful, which meant a lot to our family on such a difficult day. They put on a really lovely buffet that was well presented and enjoyed by everyone, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Thank you to Artur and his team!”

“What a lovely pub/restaurant. They accommodated our party of 4 very well. Which included my elderly dad who is blind. We felt very well looked after during our stay. Our meals were very tasty, Ryan the chef did a good job. Ange the waitress was lovely and helpful. We will be definitely coming back. Thank you.”

“Great atmosphere, friendly bar staff, great drink choices, lovely cooked food. It has a function room downstairs that you can higher for party's with a lovely garden too when you higher the function room out.”

“The warm bread served at the start was incredible, and things only got better from there. My main dish — risotto with asparagus and truffle — was heavenly. Soft, creamy, and full of rich aroma.”

“satisfied with options we have. good indian store with most things available.”

“Great shop! As if I teleported to Poland - really good prices too, very clean, had a great customer experience- was my first time there”

“Friendly staff, quick service, good selection, great for parcel drop off and collection.”

“Very nice standard of rooms, large and clean. Very quiet, especially in inside rooms away from the road. Breakfast was good but as it wasn't busy it was sat under the heaters waiting so didn't feel as fresh as it could have. Bus stop outside or a 10 min walk to the Tube. Staff were pleasant and I will certainly stay again. Good value at the time of booking as had an offer on.”

“We enjoyed everything about our 2 night stay. The location was convenient, the food was delicious, the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was comfortable, and the check in-out process was smooth.”

“Second time staying here in 2025. It’s a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean and modern with the required facilities. The breakfast buffet is very good with lots of different options. The location is super convenient for most tourist attractions. The Waterloo station is just a few minutes walk from the hotel.”

“Great coffee, with a little latte heart! Adore the bagels they have and the staff are so sweet and offered to remake my bagel without cheese (allergy to milk). Would recommend, very dog friendly too - even have treats on sale !”

“The food was outstanding! Highly recommend the pizza, they are stone baked and covered in fresh produce. Staff were friendly and the beer was cold. Only negative is the parking, there isn't any. But that's the whole town to be honest.”

“I had an absolutely phenomenal time dining here with my family!! A massive thank you to Liam for making our dining experience so wonderful, he was so lovely and kind to us and he is a massive credit to the business!! I will definitely be coming here again!”

“Visited for Sunday Roast. The service I wouldn’t say it was the best, but the roast was excellent! Really liked the mashed potatoes and the meat (I chose the turkey option). Would definitely recommend! Dog friendly.”

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“Very delicious food, and such good value. Had an amazing vegetarian mezze plate for £11.99 that was huge, such a generous portion of incredible food. Super friendly atmosphere from the second you come in. Definitely will return!”

“A group of us midweek for an early dinner - so we were quickly and comfortably seated. We were well looked after from moment of arrival, drinks and food arriving quickly, hot and plentiful. Would definitely go back if in the area.”

“amazing food. pricey but there’s a reason for it, the food is good quality and good portion sizes. stunning fish finger sandwich. as a vegetarian i felt like there were plenty of options. service was great when i went. it can definitely get busy/loud in here but at the end of the day it’s bringing them business which is good to see! i also came here for a party a few weeks ago and the servers were incredible. amazing venue”

“Really yummy food! Great selections that are made with good taste. Portion sizes are also really good and i would reccomend the chaat and paneer Makhani as well as the gulabi rani cocktail for those who drink! Prachi was super friendly and really helpful! I would recommend coming here as the atmosphere is also really nice as well the food and service - makes for a great dinner or lunch out!”

“Fantastic food! I agree with the other reviews, I would have missed it had I not seen the reviews about it being downstairs and located outside the hotel. I had to wait a few minutes for the door to be answered but once inside the food and service did not disappoint. I would come back again. The butter chicken was fantastic”

“Bon Bon Coffee is such a lovely spot — the coffee is amazing every time, and they have every milk option you could possibly want! The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is really relaxed. A perfect place to grab your morning coffee or sit and unwind.”
