Our Food & Drinks
Poplars Restaurant
Located on the top floor with a balcony and views overlooking St Katherine Docks, our menu is packed with hearty dishes made to delight. From the zesty Turkish Chicken and smoky Cajun Chop to the classic Dickens Caesar with Chicken.
Our signature steaks are a real treat. Pick a Ribeye or tender Sirloin, served alongside seasoned fries, crispy onion rings, forest mushrooms and a grilled plum tomato.
And don’t forget to save a little room for pudding! Tuck into our Seasonal Eton Mess, rich Chocolate Fondant, or a comforting Cheeseboard.
The Dickens Inn Cream Tea
Our freshly baked scones, topped with clotted cream and sweet strawberry jam are paired with your choice of tea. Inspired by Charles Dickens, where small pleasures meant everything.
Settle in at The Tavern, or wander upstairs to Poplars, our top floor restaurant. There, you can dine inside or sip your tea on the balcony while taking in the views, perfect for lingering a little longer.
Classic Cream Tea – A timeless British treat, made for sharing stories, laughter or simply a quiet moment with yourself.
Prosecco Cream Tea – Turn a sweet pause into a celebration with a glass of crisp, sparkling Prosecco.
If you’re popping into The Tavern, there’s no need to book. Just wander in and find a cosy spot. Planning a gathering in Poplars? For larger tables, booking is advsied.
The Tavern
Down on the ground floor, you’ll find The Tavern, honest pints pulled with care, hearty fare served with a smile and no shortage of friendly faces to share a tale or two.
Whether it’s a proper plate of fish and chips, ‘The Dickens’ Tower Burger with chunky chips, a spread of small plates for the table, or a Sunday Roast by the water, every dish comes with a touch of comfort and plenty of flavour.
Reviews
At The Dickens Inn, no two visits are ever quite the same. Some come for a pint by the water, others for a long lunch that turns into an afternoon and many simply stumble upon us while exploring St Katharine Docks. But all leave with something to tell.
