Dial Arch, Woolwich

This place has the wow factor especially for Woolwich. The bar is stunning and a great place to hang out, inside and out. Drinks are a bit pricey for Woolwich but I imagine that's for a reason.

Their Sunday roasts are excellent with a sharing roast chicken platter one of the best I've ever had, very tasty. But unfortunately the service is always a bit hit and miss and you more often than not end up coming away in a bad mood. Speaking to friends they have had similar experiences. 1.5 hours for a main course? 45 mins for a small cheese board? Not really very good. If they could get the service in the restaurant sorted then this place would be even better.

The Royal Tavern, Eltham

Very good gastro pub nowadays. A complete refurb from the "bad" old days and a lot of money has been spent on this place. Have eaten sunday lunch there on a few occasions. Slightly more expensive than your average sunday lunch but the quality of the food is much better than normal.

Rather cosy in the winter to eat and then to sit by the fire. We have spent many a nice sunday in there as they have a very good wine list, and always have a wine of the month to try out.

The Royal Oak, Charlton

Run into the ground by the clueless landlord who took it over about 2 years ago and turned a what was a lively friendly pub into a wreck.

It i now closed. What a sad sorry tale.
