"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. .

"I live a five minute walk from this place and it has been on my list of places to try. Finally got the chance this week and I was not disappointed with the experience. We were welcomed by friendly staff (I had a baby with...me). They were very accommodating with my daughter and the buggy. We sat at the table which has a hot plate for the hot pot and also a bbq with a ventilator over it. My friend and I decided to try the barbecue instead of the hot pot. The waitress enquired politely if we had been before, on our answer she explained the menu and the process for either bbq and hotpot. Please be warned, you get a LOT of protein for bbq. We thought we’d need three plates. My friend ordered pork belly for himself, I went for the marinated beef and we also threw in some squid. When it arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at the generous amount in each portion. My we also ordered kimchi fried rice and seafood rice. We would have been full with one portion of rice. These portions are definitely to share. Needless to say, we had a great time. The beef and squid was so juicy, it didn’t dry out with the bbq. The waitress offered to stand at our table and cook the food for us, but we decided it would be more fun to do it ourselves, plus it would not have been fair to have the waitress stand there in the heat cooking it food. We left very satisfied and looking forward to return with other friends and family members. Definitely a place to go to with a large group. It’s a relaxed and friendly place."
