What kmratesplates doesn't like about Sir John Franklin:
Came here for a few beers one Friday night, it an old fashioned pub with plenty of character and a decent seating area outside. The drink prices are reasonable and it’s always easy to get a drink. Worth a visit if you fancy some nice beers by the river View all feedback. What User likes about Sir John Franklin:
Great old pub with a history near London. The drive from london just 30 minutes. All kind of beer wine and ale. Staff is very friendly and cordially. The pub old collection of mugs, glasses and utensils is its feature. It is on bank of river and outside sitting is there to enjoy all the days. Good arrangement to watch sports. Games playing arrangements. Accept cash and cards. View all feedback.

Friendly staff,great atmosphere and no trouble during the fa cup final

Great pub, friendly, cold beer's, sky and BT, Gary, the landlord is a really nice guy and the bar staff are cheerful, everything you want in a pub ...

Top food and atmosphere. Went there on the off-chance and was not disappointed :

Nestled by the river, this historic pub effortlessly combines charm and character, offering a delightful selection of beers and a cozy atmosphere. The outdoor seating enhances the experience with stunning views. However, customer experiences are mixed; while some rave about the friendly staff and reasonable prices, others report unwelcoming attitudes and distasteful behavior from management. Cleanliness is also a concern for some patrons. Despite the criticisms, the pub remains a local favorite for beer enthusiasts and those seeking a casual dining option, particularly with its notable Sunday roast. A visit may be worth it, but temper expectations.
