Well worth a day in Greenwich;should be advertised more. Worth bringing your chums along to.

Smallish pub with u shaped centre bar. The interior is cosy and comfortable. With a couple of tables out front which are functional, but like the rest of this pub, reminds you how pubs used to be. Always has a great atmosphere in this old school local. Beer (Adnams)was as ever, in good nick.

Went here for the first time for a Saturday afternoon lunch with my folks. We all enjoyed the food, although my mum thought the fishcakes were a bit too spicy. The landlady asked why she didn't finish them and when we explained, she refunded the money for the meal without further ado and said she would talk to the chef. Very impressed with the food and service. Will definitely be back.

It had started to rain so I used this as an excuse to visit the pub as we walked past. Good selection of beer. Good atmosphere, will be coming back.

Pride, Adnams, Harveys Best, Everards Sly Fox.Carpetted bar area with banquette seating, lovely old brick fireplace to rt of bar and tv showing footie scores on teletext, beyond this a smart wood-floored restaurant area, empty but laid for evening service, well spaced tables, a nice country-dining feel to it although the price for pub-grub dishes leans toward top-end, starters £4-5, mains £10-12. Nice beer garden to rear, popular in Sat’s sunshine, we were lucky to grab a (plastic) table.

Have been drinking in here on and off for the last 3 years and it has always been a good pub. The welcome is friendly and the beer is well kept with two regularly changing guest ales on top of Adnams and Pride. Recent highlights include Crouch Vale Brewers Gold and Castle Rock beers. Harveys usually makes an appearance during the month.

Finally got to eat there today for Sunday lunch and was really impressed with the food. A fine roast beef dinner - well cooked (medium rare) and tasty meat and perfectly cooked veg. Good value as well I reckon (about 10 quid.) All in all one of the best pubs in Greenwich.

A friendly if efficient welcome, log effect fire burning, chiming clock, lots of paintings of galleons, lively atmosphere with a buzz of chatter, you get the ambience. Large TV suspended from the ceiling but not on suggests sporting events shown but perhaps with discretion; the background 80's music left a bit to be desired though. Fullers Pride, Adnams Best and Gale's Trafalger on tap, beer well kept. Snacks available, and a restaurant area at the rear.

Friendly locals and very helpful and knowledgeable barman. Perhaps a bit pricy but would go again for the good beer

last time I was here they done a great pint of Tanners Jack, and it's good to see they've added the formidable Skylark. A truly excellent pint for a really top notch pub.
kriekboozer - 4 Aug 2007 15:43
Finally got to visit here despite having lived 5 min away for past 3 years! Great pint of Skylark and even had table service from the French landlady for the final pint. Nice, warm feel inside and I will definitely be back soon.

Did a bit of a pub crawl in Greenwich at the weekend and this was by far the best pub we visited. Good selection of bitter, tidy, friendly locals, off the tourist track. Only down side was too many kids in the garden (one's too many to be honest).
cfcmark - 23 Apr 2007 16:07
cant wait til they get that mr dunne back behind the bar! phwarr!!

This is a nice cozy pub, particularly in the winter when the fire is going. Had a few pints of Harveys on my last visit. Superb. Doesn't feel like a London pub and that's a reason to give it a go. Defo!

Very good traditional pub, decent food, good beers, friendly atmosphere and staff, slightly off the beaten tourist track. Try it next time you go for a walk in the park.

had an intimate nite in there 2 weeks ago! great nite and nice atmosphere! One of the better pubs in greenwich! bet u regret leaving to g'wich inc ey mick?
anonymous - 7 Sep 2006 21:11
great pub
the landlady/owner always employs buxom/tasty barmaids, only ever seen a bloke behind the bar once.
food has improved.
a little pricey
friendly/funny locals
milkthistle - 22 Aug 2006 14:28
Best kept secret kind of place. If you're a CAMRA-esqe pub traditionalist there is no finer pub in the area. Best pub in Greenwich.

Cracking little friendly & cosy, 17th Century boozer with a small front bar serving 4 real ales - Adnams plus a couple of guests (Batemans XXXB & Gales HSB when we visited). It got a bit tight in there on a Saturday afternoon, expect to have to step over & squeeze by people with your pints in hand. There is a seperate dining area at the back with a rear suntrap of a courtyard with patio tables & benches & a shack full of toys for the kiddies.

Didn't try the food but the 4 lads on the table next to us were served some monu-mental burgers. I was certainly tempted.

You would need to map out your way beforehand as it's fairly tucked away & you're unlikely to just stumble upon it while wandering around Greenwich. This is fortunate as it helps to keep the numbers down. Best directions I could give: just outside the Park Row gate of Greewich Park - the exit near the children's boating pond... But don't all rush there at once.

Was in recently of a chilly night and teh welcme was amazing.
Fire going decent pints good atmosphere lovely little pub.

Pleasant pub can be a bit too much like a creche at times
greenwich_paul - 21 Jan 2006 10:13
Recently visited the park and museums so after spliting up this was the obvious place to reassemble. Good ales and friendly staff. It is dog friendly as well so you just have to be careful you don't kick over a water bowl an dampen the goods you've just bought in the market.
lout_from_the_lane - 12 Jan 2006 13:30
A great little pub. Friendly staff, good beer and really nice food. The kebabs are well recommended.
DJ.Alexander - 18 Aug 2005 17:01
Of the many, many pubs I visited during my trip, this one stands out as one of, if not the best. Super friendly staff, Adnams beer was in fabulous shape and food was very good. Really had the 'local' experience and the pub is beautifully appointed. Very highly recommended on your next trip to Greenwich.
ale_brewer - 14 Aug 2005 15:16
Not far away from having everything: great beer,locals are friendly , barstaff pleasant & helpful, excellent food,pretty garden at rear.Also handy for Maze Hill station. In short all a good local should be.I wish I lived closer.Well done to all involved. Recommended

Nice neighborhood pub tucked around the corner from the National Maritime Museum. Despite its relative proximity to the tourist hoards it was a genuine locals. Will have to stay for dinner next time.
anonymous - 27 Mar 2005 23:24
This pub has ambience with a capital 'A'. Warm and inviting. Great selection of real ales and lagers. Service first class. Friendly and busy with excellent cuisine and reasonably priced. It has a walled beer garden with a kids playhouse at the rear. This pub has everything and the locals are friendly. Will definitely return just for the taramasalata and mixed grill.
Champers - 10 Jan 2005 11:29
A beautiful pub - if you come from outside England and you want to experience a "pub" - come here as you will feel the atmosphere, the beer, the cosiness, the football, and the food's OK too. Child friendly by the way which is no bad thing given the nearby park.
georgebridges - 6 Jan 2005 00:54
The food in this pub is absolutly amazing especially the lebanese nights! The chef and his staff are top quality! The price of drinks are quite deer,but i would go back!
P_Hobbs - 3 Jan 2005 21:14
Went in last sunday and had a very nice lamb dinner. Staff seemed friendly and helpfull even though the place was very busy. would definately recommend this pub.
rainbow - 6 Dec 2004 21:58
Top pub even though the landlady supports Palace.
michael - 15 Oct 2004 12:17
Nipped in as part of a May Day pub crawl, quite nice. Tucked away from the tourists too.

I once spent an evening inthe beer garden after a free festival in Greenwich Park in 2002 but I can't remember a single tihng about it.
MrScott - 14 May 2004 11:08
The Plume is like a lovely little oasis of tranquility that i love to pieces, great food and drink, lovely staff and regulars with an amazing atmosphere.
Michael - 11 Apr 2004 19:05
This pub makes a lovely local (tee hee)
Ben - 21 Jan 2004 16:10

Food good, drink good, atmosphere good, no tossers - well worth a visit. Best on a cold winters day.
Nelson - 3 Jun 2003 14:43
nice, cosy pub with slightly expensive drinks, the food is very expensive but worth it, the best pub food in Greenwich!
Jason - 2 May 2003 11:59
Some of us were born here Clare, thankfully ;-)

Nice pub - bit pokey, and gets very crowded, mind. Friendly staff and a lovely fire in winter. Quiz night on Wednesdays.
Darryl - 27 Apr 2003 23:38
This pub makes a nice local. I just wish I could afford it to be my local! :-)
