We tried a new gastropub last night called The Gun.

Quick review: very good food, very good service, very nice space with nice decor (gun theme, of course) and well-kept bar. The only downside is its out-of-the-way location: accessible by foot but not the nicest area to be hoofin’ it around in. I noticed a lot of the diners arrived via taxi.

Still, I’d recommend it and I’d go back. It’s not often we find a nice gastropub in the Docklands area that isn’t packed to the gills with noisy worker bees.
