| Pleasantly located Youngs pub not selling a lot of Youngs beers but a good range of beer all the same. Greenwich prices but a pleasant place to be. There were about 40 dogs in the beer garden or at least it felt like 40. The light and bitter was decent but the bar staff did not seem to be aware of the whole light and bitter thing. All in all however a decent pub and a pleasant visit. terenced - 25 Mar 2019 07:55 |
| Nice old-fashioned pub near Greenwich station and next door to another pub! Youngs beers plus one guest. Trev - 1 Feb 2019 20:18 |
| As I remarked in my previous review "we won't be rushing back..." I'm not sure if we have or not since I wrote it, but we popped in last Monday lunchtime, having been driven from the garden of The Old Brewery by sudden heavy cloud. As far as I could see, there was only one other customer when we walked in. We initially opted for pints of "Ordinary" which were barely that, so next went on to the "Special" - again, anything but special. The quality of both beers were not quite bad enough to complain about - but heading in that direction. A group of "yummy mummy's" plus assorted buggies then appeared - so we headed for home.

| As I predicted last time I commented on the Richard I two years ago, on our fairly frequent visits to Greenwich since, we have indeed mainly been drinking in The Pelton Arms. However, a few days ago since we were over on the west side of Greenwich, we decided to pop into the Richard I for a couple of pints and a sit in their garden. The Young's "Ordinary" was better than on our previous visit (though still not as good as when Mark ran the pub) - at £4.15 a pint I should hope it was! (I hate to think how much their range of "guest ales" are). As someone mentioned previously - sadly the woman behind the bar had very little idea of how to pull a pint properly - not helped by the guy standing behind what use to be the old public bar who was more concerned with messing about with his smart phone/tablet then actually helping her out or serving customers. However, the garden is still a good place to sit for an hour. But while we were doing so, we took the time to look at the pub menu and calculated that a two course meal for the two of us plus a bottle of wine (at £21?!?!) would have set us back £66 at the very least - and that's NOT including service or the temptation to drink a second bottle. For that sort of money, I'd prefer a "proper" restaurant. As it was, the restaurant was more or less empty - for a Tuesday lunchtime during the summer holidays is that normal? The sad thing being that in theory, after the big refurbishment a number of years ago, Young's managed to achieve the correct balance between a pub and restaurant. But somethings wrong with the place - too expensive for what it actually is and where it is (out of the "tourist trap" centre of Greenwich), but mainly (I suspect) poor to non existent management. We won't be rushing back... DaveE6 - 3 Aug 2017 13:57 |
| Popped in here for lunch over the Easter weekend. Food was good, but the beer prices were way over the top, Young's bitter £4.15, Beavertown Neck Oil £5.50!!!! Large Glass of Pinot £8.20. taking the piss or what. When we arrived the bar person cleaned the table, but just wiped the food onto the floor to join the the bits already there. Liked the pub but not the prices or cleanliness. rpf1955 - 17 Apr 2017 10:39 |
