The Dean Swift is a pub at 10 Gainsford Street in Butler’s Wharf, close to Tower Bridge. It combines the feel of a proper neighbourhood pub with a serious kitchen, serving food every day alongside a broad selection of craft beer, wine and spirits.
The kitchen specialises in authentic tapas and small plates that can be ordered individually or assembled into a shared meal. Sharing boards sit alongside classic pub dishes, giving customers the choice between an informal snack with drinks and a more substantial lunch or dinner.
Fish and chips is a recurring weekday favourite, while Sundays centre on the pub’s roast dinners. Slow cooked meats, traditional accompaniments and generous portions make the Sunday service particularly popular, so advance booking is encouraged.
Twenty craft beer lines draw from local, independent British and international breweries, creating plenty of pairing options for the food. An upstairs room is available for private hire, and regular pub events add to the lively community atmosphere.
Address: 10 Gainsford Street, London SE1 2NE, England
