Harden's survey result
Summary
In the shiny new developments south of Tower Bridge, this stylish, but “down-to-earth” three-year-old (sibling to an original in Brighton) has a “wide menu” – from “delicious seafood” to mouthwatering steak – but it’s perhaps the “very meaty” dishes that score the highest approval ratings (charcoal grilled British beef cuts are a mainstay of the menu, and the Moroccan goat dish, when it’s on, is terrific).

In the shiny new developments south of Tower Bridge, this stylish, but “down-to-earth” two-year-old (sibling to an original in Brighton) has a “wide menu” – from “delicious seafood” to mouthwatering steak – but it’s perhaps the “very meaty” dishes that score the highest approval ratings (charcoal grilled British beef cuts are a mainstay of the menu, and the Moroccan goat dish, when it’s on, is terrific). Top Tip – “perfect before a show at the new Bridge Theatre” (“I’d go to a performance just as an excuse to dine at The Coal Shed!”)
Summary
“A great addition to the SE1 restaurant scene” – this import from Brighton has a “sleek and contemporary design” within one of the new units of the development near Tower Bridge incorporating London’s newest theatre, The Bridge. Although there are one or two dissenting voices for whom the venue fell short, most reports say it’s a “meat-lovers dream”, with “superb and personal service too”. Top Menu Tips – numerous dishes are recommended: “the smoked goat is an absolute revelation”, there’s “exceptionally good steak”, “fabulous grilled octopus” and “really pleasing sweets”.
Summary
Overlooking the recently completed public piazza at the centre of the new One Tower Bridge development, Brighton’s favourite steak joint is heading up to the Smoke in autumn 2017.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
Have you eaten at The Coal Shed?
Owner's description
The Coal Shed Restaurant London is located at One Tower Bridge on the banks of the River Thames. The Coal Shed was born from the love of cooking the finest meat and seafood over fire.
Open seven days a week, 12noon until 10pm, the restaurant uses the highest quality ingredients, sourced as locally as possible. Try the 35-day aged sharing steaks or the South Coast sharing fish for a dining experience to remember. For those dining before a show at The Bridge Theatre or wanting an express lunch, the restaurant's pre theatre menu is available from 5pm until 6.30pm £20 for two courses or £24 for three.
The Coal Shed occupies two floors and a bar for pre and post dinner drinks and cocktails expertly crafted. If you want to host your own event, there is a private dining room on the mezzanine or the restaurant can be exclusively hired for any type of occasion.
