Description: The Narrow is a Grade II listed building, located in the Limehouse area of East London, directly alongside the River Thames. A purpose-built customs and Dock Master's house in the early 20th century, the building became a public house, initially called The Barley Mow and later refurbished and re-named The Narrow Street Pub and Dining Room. Given the area and the building's rich history, Gordon Ramsay knew it was important to retain the historic qualities of the building whilst relating the design to the locality and the history of the Limehouse area. The wall colours are subdued to highlight features such as the fireplaces and lounge armchairs, and the wall space becomes vibrant through the use of historical black and white photography referencing the history of the area. In its new form, The Narrow offers a warm and relaxed environment where the emphasis is on good quality food with real ales and ciders.

Really cosy place with a lovely pub feel and a conservatory overlooking the water. We have been several times, personally for mt the roast dinner wins every time but the fish and chips comes a close second. Brownie is amazing. Service has always been very good and I would recommend.

We were a party of fourteen and had a private room overlooking the river for a Sunday lunch. Although the room was fine it was shame that the draped curtains restricted the view of the river which was one of the attractions of this place. The lunch consisted of starter, roast and dessert. The starters (sausage roll, scotch eggs, sausages,... More

I took my husband here for a birthday meal expecting something a little special. when we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty, we were sat at a "window" (sliding door) table which initially we thought was lovely as we were looking out over the river, however, this soon turned bad, when the table behind us slid the doors open, it...

We booked the "Host Your Roast" in the private room for my wife's 40th Birthday. We met outside and had drinks at a table next to the river. It is a great spot, not far from the DLR and a car park a few yards away. The room is on the first floor. It is a nice size room, and... More

Went as a large party for an office lunch. Quite disappointed really. Nice setting but a bit isolated. Most of the side dishes didn't arrive and those that did were 15 mins after the main course for some reason. The poor waitress couldn't do enough but she was unsupported and clearly at the mercy of a poor kitchen. Food when... More

Food excellent, staff polite, I see mixed reviews however the experience this evening was exceptional. We did sit in the bar rather than the restaurant as we didn't book, but the menu is the same and the food was still served to the table. Great night!

Good pub food although expensive it was lovely. However, the service was really poor and you felt you were inconviencing them. They forgot drinks and were really unfriendly.
