Still a sam smith pub, hurra! was ye olde cheshire cheese in the medieval authenticity proffered this pub with location. Nested among the kais and terraces of wapping the captain kidd’s thameside beergarten was the most beautiful place to sit. spaceloads and many picnic tables and flow benches for them to a crawl. at this opportunity for the white wine picked (although with indulgent it was a bit nipple that we should probably have been on the brandy) and it was a very drinkable, very milder. will definitely do this again in future visit! unfortunately we were too late for everything from the kitchen, so I cannot comment there; but I'm sure we'll go back soon, the draw of the situation and the series of drinks is obliged to lead us back to the next weeks.

Beautiful cozy pub at the river. they have a wide selection of niches and lagders. I chose the white house wine that was quite nice. the beer garden is beautiful and the pub has a great atmosphere both inside and outside. we wanted a few chips to warm us, but we said we had to go up and sit in the restaurant to have them what was a scandal, as we wanted only one snack with our drinks: overall, although a really nice pub

Wapping £4.60 Double Four Lager An exceptional Sam Smiths boozer in the heart of Wapping. . The Captain Kidd sits on a quiet cobbled street and is just a short two minute walk from Wapping overground station. From the outside you would hardly know there is a pub here unless you look up and see the pub sign above the entrance. As you enter, you walk through a small courtyard and then through in to this Grade II listed pub. This pub used to be an old coffee warehouse and was converted to pub back in the 80’s when the area went under a period of redevelopment. The pub is named after the notorious pirate William Kidd who was executed nearby at execution dock for murder and piracy. There is a nautical theme to this pub and the decor is very oldie worldie, there are large wooden beams spanning the pub held up by reclaimed timbers which resemble those of a ship. The atmosphere here was great, the pub was fairly busy on this Saturday afternoon with a mix of drinkers and diners. The pub offers superb views across the river Thames and has a lovely outside space to enjoy a drink on warmer days. The service was good and prompt, I had a pint of Double Four lager which was enjoyable and at £4.40 was good value. . This Sam Smiths pub is full of charm and delight and I really enjoyed my visit here, this is an excellent atmospheric boozer and a must visit when in Wapping. . Information correct on visiting 12/03/22

Really nice pub. Loads of space downstairs and outside. Yet to check out upstairs for food. Prices were £5 cheaper than I was expecting, so will be back very soon. Cocktails were quick and easy. The most orderly single-file queue for a bar I have ever witnessed!

This is a great place. The pub has a nice garden right next to the river, perfect for relaxing in the sun. The interior is fantastic with a lot of wood and different seating areas. I enjoyed a delicious couple of pints of Samuel Smith's cask ale, highly recommended. It's a spacious pub.
