About Doggett's Coat and Badge
Doggett's Coat and Badge takes its name from the 300-year-old boat race and sits on Blackfriars Bridge over multiple floors, with a terrace above the Thames. The first-floor dining area has window tables overlooking the river. The menu runs to British Steak and Nicholsons Pale Ale Pie, fish pie, and skirt, rib and brisket pie, alongside cheesy gnocchi and schnitzel, with chips available with a truffle upgrade and cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings and gravy on the side. Ordering and payment happen via scan and pay at the table, with tip added in advance. Private rooms are available for parties, with the option to play music through the venue's own system. Seating is available both inside and outside, and dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary
The river views draw repeated praise, with St Paul's and Blackfriars Bridge frequently mentioned alongside the outlook over the Thames, but the pies emerge as the clear food favorite: reviewers cite the British Steak & Nicholsons Pale Ale Pie, the fish pie, and the skirt, rib and brisket pie as standouts, while one family highlights the cheesy gnocchi and another notes the schnitzel as popular. Sunday lunch draws mention too, with fish and chips and Yorkshire puddings praised though one reviewer found the cauliflower cheese too watery. Private parties and work socials get singled out for attentive staff checking in throughout the night. Against this, one reviewer describes a scan-and-pay setup with no table service, tip added in advance, and long waits for drinks and food, suggesting bringing food in from nearby stalls instead. Several also recall a tap water order that never arrived alongside an otherwise satisfying meal.

“Very nice pub with a good view of river Thames and St Paul cathedral, even in the dining area which is in the first floor, food was very nice, we tried the schnitzel which seemed to be the most popular that day, but got really surprised with the cheesy gnocchi, my children loved it! And as I tried it I did too! Although the schnitzel was good I’d have ordered the gnocchi instead! Pies looked good too, and the salad was fresh and nice! We tried also the chips upgraded to truffle ones they were good too but wouldn’t rush to get them again, the only thing is that along with our drinks we ordered tap water that we didn’t get but dinner was fine with our drinks, portions were fine, even for children menu, I’d comeback for the gnocchi!”

“Wonderful Sunday lunch by the Thames. One person chose fish and chips and the other had a side of Yorkshire puddings and gravy, plus we shared the cauliflower cheese. Everything was good except the cauliflower, too watery. Otherwise, a good meal. There is also outside seating besides being in the bar area.”

“Really enjoyed the experience here. Can't even describe how amazing the views were especially the sunset view was breathtaking. Well the food was just as amazing, the fish pies were my fav.. everything was just so amazing. Not the single thing that was bad, and carlo made the evening more amazing, special thanks to him for the great time.”
