Ambiance
Pros:
"Top pub, cosy and tucked away round the back of Borough tube station."
"Situated behind the main road. Not large pub but really cozy atmosphere and very kind and helpful staffs."
"Hidden behind Borough station, The Gladstone is a lovely, atmospheric and romantic pub, with live music music throughout the week lit by fairy lights it's a great pub for a date."
"Tucked away just off busy Borough High Street you’ll find The Gladstone Arms or The Glad if you’re a regular."
"Small, but if I spoke French I'd call it 'bijoux'. More cozy front room with friends than beery baroom."
"The atmosphere is incredible with an eclectic collection of furniture and decor that make it a really neat little place."
"The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming and had a local pub feel."
Cons:
"Pub is a little small bathroom could use some attention."
"The toilet needs attention-very smelly."
"I proper geniune pub? Possibly. But small, noisy and dark were fine 100years ago. This pub has the wrong character."
"The room upstairs had much more character before when it looked like a Berliner bar. Now it's more like a standard functions room you see in all pubs."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"Great selection of drinks at good prices for London."
"Delicious food, unconventional Anglo - Indian Sunday roast and small plates, so tasty and original and prepared on request."
"Lovely backstreet pub, excellent food, the Karaage Chicken is amazing."
"This pub does the awesome Pieminister pies with mash and peas. Good beer, friendly staff."
"The food menu consists of a homemade selection of Anglo-Indian food, combining British classics with Indian flavours."
"Food was British-Indian snacks and full plated meals. I had the Indian spin on Fried chicken and chips. Delicious!!!!!!!"
"The food is delicious - a fusion of British and Indian food which works very well and highly recommend."
Cons:
"The food like avocado papri chart I ordered had horrible oil smell coming from it."
"We felt constrained to order the few things left available and we were changed the order after having paid for more expensive food. No apology was given or extra sides offered to make the situation more comfortable for the customers."
"We had to order that for the vegetarians in the group, and they made us order lamb roast saying that chicken roast was not available, which meant paying more."
"Gobi Manchurian was just cauliflower covered in sauce, samosas were burnt around the edges."
"One tiny criticism the fries were far too salty."
"Someone had chicken which was again covered in same sauce as gobi manchurian. I raised my concerns with the owner of the place She apologised but her conversation with me I felt was very business tipical reply l."
"The pies are nice (pie minster pies), but you are over charged for a thimble of mash and what is up with the gravy."
Service
Pros:
"Very cosy and unassuming pub with friendly staff."
"The service was great, I was served by a very nice chap who was welcoming and courteous."
"The staff there are so friendly - best service I’ve had in a good while."

"The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive."
"Very personal and lovely service from bar lady."
"Lovely friendly pub that emanates from the brother and sister duo; had a wonderful birthday celebration in their upstairs room with great food and ambience."
Cons:
"I have been hearing about their customer service which is very appalling no response to emails or over the phone they haven’t got any patience."
"But when we were ready to order, another waiter told us that all the pies and the vegetarian roast were not available."
Live Music & Events
Pros:
"Great little pub with live music on tues & sun. Good beer selection & decent indo-English tapas."
"I’m tryna be a regular here as the food and music is 10/10 💯❤️ highly recommend going out or your way to be at this pub wednesdays and sundays at the least for music gigs."
"Got down there on a Sunday for the first time to see a friend play. Great atmosphere for their Sunday night acoustic events."

"Lovely pub with a great vibe! Awesome live music."
"The pub has a reasonably wide selection of beers, spirits and cocktails and a regular turn of arty, jazzy/folky music events."
"Awesome service and live music was the first live music I had listened to in a year. A real gem compared to some of the other dank pubs around the neighbourhood."
Cons:
"Also, I thought that the music played in between live artists is not appropriate."
