About

Mc & Sons Borough is a traditional Irish pub in Southwark that brings together two seemingly unlikely worlds: authentic Thai street food and old-fashioned Irish hospitality. Built on the memories of the McElhinney family, this honest local has walls adorned with family photographs spanning generations, creating a genuine sense of heritage and warmth.

The Thai street food comes courtesy of Johnny Rice, served throughout the week with a rotating selection of authentic dishes in takeaway boxes or to eat in. At weekends, an à la carte menu offers classics like pad thai, green curry and massaman curry alongside the pub's excellent selection of Irish and craft beers. Friday and Saturday evenings bring traditional live Irish music, with the brilliant Gary Trainer and other musicians creating an atmosphere that feels more Maynooth than SE1.

Dogs are welcome throughout the pub, making it an excellent choice for dining with your four-legged friend. The step-free entrance and accessible facilities ensure everyone can enjoy this unique combination of Thai flavours and Irish character.
