London Bridge - Find me a good pub for lunch please!

[Mr Gear]

I'm meeting my parents on Sunday near London Bridge in SE London on Sunday for some lunch, and I'm trying to find a good pub/restaurant that fits the bill

Requirements:
- Main courses between £8-£10
- Not likely to be full of drinkers / tourists
- Lots of tables

Bonus:
- Nice river view

Anywhere that is walking distance from London Bridge station is good so we can go as far as St Katherines Docks / Shad Thames to the east and Waterloo to the west.

Ideas please from people that know the area! Cheers!

Thanks - I'll check those out. I know Dickins Inn reasonably well and was considering that already, although it's a bit "Pizza Hut" if you know what I mean. Any more ideas welcome!

Thanks for this. It actually jogged my memory about a place next door called the Chop House. I just checked their website and the "bar menu" is exactly the sort of thing I am after. Table booked!

Thanks to everyone in this thread for the suggestions. I might actually try out the Lord Clyde on another day. It looks interesting.

I have eaten in the Chop House but only in the evening and the prices were above your suggest price range so I didn't mention it. I didn't realise the bar menu was so much cheaper.

Yeah, the bar menu is from £8-12, which is perfect.

German beer, german food (but good!) and its in a sort of cellar. V near the station, but a bit pricey. No river view because there's no windows but the sausages are Awesome.

Looks like fun, but one problem: http://www.katzenjammers.co.uk/images/3.jpg

Is one of them you, hence you've been before

Ha ha, no! It actually looks like a good place, but not the right sort of atmosphere for Sunday lunch with the parents.

e.t.a. I see that you've chosen Browns, which is fine, just not out of the ordinary.

No he is going for the Chop House and the bar menu which looks nice.

Indeed, but cheers for teh effort put in by JimexPL!
