It's an intriguing tale. The name, "Doggett's Coat and Badge," honors Thomas Doggett, who organized the historic London Bridge to Chelsea rowing race in the Thames. This event, dating back to 1715, is considered the oldest continuous sporting competition in the UK. The four-mile, seven-furlong race occurs annually in July. The winner was originally awarded a waterman's coat and badge, inspiring the pub's name.
Upon Doggett's death in 1721, he bequeathed in his will that The Fishmongers' Company continue the race, a tradition upheld to this day. Located along the race course in South Bank, our pub is named in homage to its founder.

October 2023Great pub with multiple levels (recommend the lowest - pub level). Ordering through QR code is great. And it was fast! Fish and chips were delicious - very crispy. Big size is enough for two. Top spot - fully recommend. And good price.

July 2023These are some impressively sized pies! The main floor is a great pub for standing around and looking at the use of the River Thames, and the dining room is upstairs. The service was friendly, and I recommend any pie, and you’ll be pleasantly delighted by the generous portion.

January 2024Get a window seat upstairs for a nice view of the river. On this occasion I was in a party of four, the meals were all of decent quality, although the veg was quite variable. The two pie eaters got different veg from each other, and my wife and I had sausages and mash, and got no other veg at all, literally just three sausages and a pile of mash, nothing green or orange. Minor complaint though, as the quality and quantity of food for all was good. Would definitely visit again. Service charge is pre-added so no need to leave a tip.

December 2023Wide selection of international and local beers! The food is quite tasty, especially the English classic, Fish and Chips, which was perfect. It's a cool place with a great atmosphere and lots of buzz. However, if you're looking for a spot to meet up with friends and have a chat, this might not be the best choice. Anyway worth to visit ! And after that during the night you should see the great view from the Blackfriars Bridge!

November 2023Sorry to mark you down based on food. Guys behind the bar were absolute stars. However, the food is overpriced and so little. Particularly the vegetarian pie. Have you ever seen a pie and mash?? I was still hungry and the broccoli was cooked in animal fat!! Come on chef 🤦🏻♀️ great location, but get real with the prices. The only reason I might consider to visit again because of staff and won’t be eating here, ever 👎🏻
