Great food, lovely Sunday roast, especially the lamb shank.
really annoyingly when the management changed hands last year the wine list seemed to change for the absolute worst also.. the quality went down to paint striper and the price went up by £2/£3.. very annoying. We absolutely wouldn't order a bottle of wine in here again. The position on the river is really good.. you can enjoy a beer in the summer on their picnic tables.. it's just a pity their wine is so awful, it should be an absolute mainstay in a gorgeous pub like this.

I went to this pub last week for the first time after a recommendation from the Landlord of the Gypsy Moth (another nice pub) in the centre of Greenwich and I loved it.
The ale selection was excellent and very well kept, tasters were offered by the very young and enthusiastic landlord. He knew his stuff and clearly loved his ale and whiskey selection, it was nice to see such a love for his products, he made our visit even more special, he talked to us for ages and made us feel very welcome. His lovely wife talked to us as well and they had us in stitches with the banter between them.
The big letdown for us was the food, as it seems to be to a lot of people, don’t get me wrong, it was edible but it wasn’t anything special and for a pub as special as this, I would have expected something fantastic and different but it was bland and uninteresting. We had the Veg Wellington and the Fish and Chips, and both were bland, not horrible just nothing to say good about them.
This could be the most outstanding pub in Greenwich if they had as good food as they do drinks and staff, such a shame they don’t. 10 for service and drinks, 4 for food.

Have recently moved near to this pub, and was really looking forward to visiting as it's in such a great location - great views and close to home as well as the centre of Greenwich.

Having visited, I must say that I still love the pub as somewhere to drink - there's a nice feel to the place and the view are everything you'd expect. However, please don't eat there!

I had read a previous review, suggesting that the food had gone downhill here a bit - this must be a massive understatement. The prices charged suggest a good standard of pub food - but I've had better pretty much every pub I've ever been in!

To be fair, my brother-in-law enjoyed his steak, but the rest was hugely disappointing. My sister and I had the Steak and Ale pie - the pie itself was average, but passable - it came with mash and veg that were all very dry and salty. My girlfriend chose the Sunday roast and you could see from the second it was served that it was an awful piece of meat. Really dry - I've never tasted beef like it!

The deserts were terrible as well - my girlfriend and my sister chose the apple crumble, which resembled vomit more than pudding. It was clearly a cheap, ready-meal type thing - the custard managed to be both watery and lumpy, which was impressive! Yet they still charged about £5 for it.

This place has the potential to be one of my favourite pubs in London, but it isn't. It's nice for a drink - especially if the weather's nice - but the food is the worst I've come accross, and I've eaten in a lot of pubs! Avoid eating here at all costs - I paid £73 for the four of us to eat two apalling courses. Not funny.

I have been coming to this pub for years and it is very good, the beer is great and the food is decent. There is no better place to sit on a sunny greenwich day.
