This is the first time I've been here since it was a Tolly house back in the 70's. Thankfully not much has changed except it's bigger now that the off licence part has been incorporated into the pub.

This is a proper pub with no nonsence. Very friendly staff and contrary to previous comments. no music.

They had Young's Special, Young's Bitter, Bombadier and Young's Winter Warmer. They also had Pilsner Urquel on draft for the lager drinkers.

I sampled the Winter Warmer and the Young's Bitter and both were excellent.

I moved to Greenwich in early 2009. I like this pub - they always serve decent beer, the food is great and the beer garden always has a spare seat which is brilliant in Summer time.

I must have been lucky enough to avoid the landlady mentioned in other posts as I've always found the service to be fantastic; everyone who served me was chatty and friendly and knew how to pour a pint - in this case, some well-kept Youngs beers. The food is really nice and while it's a little pricier than your usual pub fare, it's damn tasty and you get decent portions!

Great place to go for a relaxed night out.

This used to be my local until about a year ago. Following the 'makeover', the landlady decided to play music in the saloon bar. Not only was her choice of music appalling and laud but the fact she sought to dictate the atmosphere( so called), led us to flee to the other bar. Subsequently , on another occasion, one of my party was ignored by the temporary,(they all are) bar staff. We voted with our feet and now use the Dog and Bell in Deptford who have wider and varying choice of very well kept beers and DONT PLAY ....! MUSIC !

Been going to this pub with my family since the mid-70s and always held it in high esteem, until recently....The makeover isn't too severe but has taken away some of its character, but my main issue is with its staff - recently when I asked for a non-alcholoc drink (I was driving) the barman replied 'last of the big spenders' without any hint of humour or irony...plus a couple of Christmas eves the landlady, having been a complete misery all evening, called time early as a glass got broken (to think - in a pub!) Hopefully she's moved on...On the plus side, great beer garden and good pint of Youngs and out of the towm centre.

Good old fashioned, well kept and well run two bar local with a generous beer garden out the back. This right next door to the Union, and I've always walked past as the union is a decent pub. It's a pleasure to have the time to explore Greenwich and get to know these pubs. This is a right gem. A typical Youngs pub.

The place has genuine charm. Lots of solid wood. No Fuller's fake Victorian modern makeover - this is the real deal. A proper pub serving proper beer, in a great location. Makes an interesting contrast with the Union next door, as they have certain things in common - but enough difference to be able to select which one you want to spend the evening in.

If you want a choice of four cask ales in excellent condition, then this is the one.

If you want original features and a sense of the history and tradition of British pubs, then this is the one.

If you want decent pub grub at reasonable prices, then this is the one.

If you want a slightly larger beer garden, then this is the one.

If you want to be treated like a real person rather than a customer, then this is the one, as the bar staff will talk to you, and seem genuinely interested in having a conversation.

Damn fine pub.
