The Roebuck is an independent Grade II listed Victorian pub at 50 Great Dover Street in Borough. Its imposing corner building combines period character with a relaxed local atmosphere, sitting within easy walking distance of Borough station, Elephant and Castle and London Bridge.
Food follows the seasons and focuses on traditional British pub cooking made with carefully sourced ingredients. Snacks and starters lead into familiar main courses, with meat, fish and vegetable dishes shaped by the kitchen’s relationships with local and sustainability minded suppliers.
Sunday lunch is a major part of the week, bringing roast meat and a vegetarian alternative with crisp potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Children’s choices and generous desserts make the menu equally useful for a family meal or a longer gathering with friends.
Cask ale, craft beer, cider, wine, spirits and alcohol free options fill the bar selection. The large upstairs function room hosts parties, meetings, live performance and other events, while regular diners can settle into the spacious ground floor for food or a quiet pint.
