| Not a great fan of the extremely clinical and fairly modern interior. However I have to say that in my experience, this pub serves excellent, well kept beers on tap, and an eclectic array of bottled premium beers from around the world. The staff range from students to young professionals ' in between jobs'. Without hesitation on my last visit, the staff kindly and obligingly allowed me to keep my push bike within the premises. They set up a tab, and explained key differences between regional and national beers, which demonstrated passion and knowledge. Anyone ever faced a barman who can explain what a Lambic beer is? I obliged by downing a few ales. Thirsty work!!! Must be one of the best pubs, if not the best pub in the central Greenwich area. If coming across this pub, step inside and avoid it's immediate neighbour/s. markwilliamson - 16 Feb 2010 21:09 |
| Big fan of this place - really like the beer and the staff have always seemed polite, conversational and happy to help. As has been said above, it's an intelligent, liberal man's pub. Food is a little expensive, but worth paying for - the surroundings are lovely. Currently looking for a place to live in Greenwich town centre, and being close to the Union is a preferred option!! jrhgreenwich - 15 Feb 2010 00:42 |
| I visited this pub on New Years day, for the first time in 5 years. Was alarmed to be charged £4.20 for a pint of Aspall's Cider. When I asked the barmaid why it was so expensive, she informed me that it was the average price for cider in this area of London. I told her that I'd drank in many places in South East London and the most expensive I'd found was £3.65 for a pint of Addlestones in The Clockhouse on Barry Road. The strangest thing is that the rest of the drinks in the little drinks menu/book thing are a pretty reasonable price. Can't understand why Aspalls has been singled out to be extortionate.

| Visited yesterday for the first time. A pleasant enough pub in a pleasant area close to the station. It was fairly busy for a late Wednesday afternoon mainly with people eating. Staff seemed polite and efficient. 3 handpumps dispensing Meantime London Pale Ale, Harveys' Sussex and Dark Star Hophead along with 9 or so continental style fonts with other Meantime beers. If you want to sample the Meantime LPA, make sure that you specify it from the handpump - the beer from which I found most acceptable! My companion forgot and the fizz version is everything you'd imagine - cold, gassy and pretty tasteless compared wit the real. The lunchtime food menu falls between "pub" and "gastro pub" grub and wasn't over imaginative. The prices to me were rather on the high side. I was surprised when the evening menus were put out to find the food selection almost identical although some of the prices had increased. They seemed to be having problems with the lighting during my visit which kept changing from too dark to read a paper by to bright enough to play floodlit football! The barman did explain that they were having some problems. I'd certainly visit again if in the area especially on a weekday afternoon when i guess that it is less busy. cheshirecat - 10 Dec 2009 09:34 |
| Rubbish customer service!! If you're going to set up a bar that sells lots of different beers then it would be nice if they let you try a sample before you buy a pint!! walked straight out never to return!! munky_boy_77 - 21 Nov 2009 22:11 |
