Eltham Gpo in Greenwich

A little hectic when busy but outstanding decor an vibes!

Booked table for 5.15 on a Sunday afternoon to arrive and be told “we have run out of food that is the chef who has just left and walked past you”

Good food and drinks and a welcome addition to Eltham High Street

You have got to make sure you booked, staff is not explaining well enough the situation and the tables are dirty, management disorganised. When we got moved seat after ordering food, they make us feel like we are stealing a space to eat. Cause you need to reserved first if you want to sit anywhere in door to eat. But we learned this not in one communication. They first told us we could sit in bar are, we recognised the bat area also need to booking so we asked if we could sit with them. The manager came and ask why we are sitting in the booked area, we are only allowed sitting outside. And then she apologies with people booked the table. I guess they do have enough local customer so they don’t care to explain the rules anymore, or they just simply under staffs. So bewared of rudeness, just expect the same service as you will get in China town. Food is okay, not amazing, asked for pink roasted, came with well done. Overpriced everything cause of the experience.

Very good lunch time deal £10 for lunch - four choices - and a pint of beer or soft drink - very good value and very good service along with a very nice lunch.

The trouble with this establishment is that it's mainly a restaurant and, as such, smelt incredibly strongly of fish. The tables, even just the ones for drinks, are scarce and then pre-booked by others. I didn't quite understand why there were so many dogs in there? It's not that it's located anywhere near a park! The hounds were quite noisy, and there was at least one canine who looked like a banned breed. The bar service was slow. The toilets, accessed up a flight of stairs, were clean.

Have started going here a good bit for food and drinks of late and we are so pleased with the difference in a couple of years. I am under the impression the bar is under new management, in the past we have gone here the service and food had been below average at best. But now it’s all great. Friendly bar with great food. Like the fact it’s not a huge menu and what they offer is done right and fresh. Small criticisms are that maybe the pint of Guinness is a bit expensive and the smoking area could be made so much nicer. (actually out of Guinness at the moment but the replacement stout is really good). Bar area is recently done up and lovely atmosphere here and I highly recommend. Seats near the open fire are in high demand so get in early. Pet friendly.

Nice pint of London pilsner served in a nice cold glass and it's good value before 7

I came out with my family for my birthday dinner, we had to send 3 dishes back as first dishes were over cooked and the last dish the egg was raw and gammon was drowned in sweet honey-like sauce, however the service from the staff was amazing and they were very apologetic.

It's OK, very middle of the road. Sadly, half of our table were served, and around 40 minutes later, the other half got their food. We put through 2 separate orders at the bar, but they were taken one after the other, so no reason why the food should have been that late. The server did blame that as being the reason, though. Very slow service in general, my friend was waiting for someone so he could ask for mayo and no one ever came near the table, so he didn't get it in the end. We also saw peoples food sitting in the window of the kitchen for ages, and I could see the chef getting really frustrated looking around for someone to pick up orders. The food was fine, not amazing but not bad either. Prices were very reasonable though. Overall I think they need more staff managing the resturant for sure.

Been using this pub, for a little while, it's a very welcoming establishment with friendly and helpful staff ( Max) and a good selection of beers. The food is also very good the head chef ( Peter ) makes sure everything is perfect well worth a visit

The saying " a week is a long time in politics " could be rephrased as a year is a long time since my Wife & Myself had a decent meal & surroundings in this place. It was a bad day weatherwise for a start, but the place was freezing 🥶 The GPO was all but empty at 1 0 clock, but sitting in this fridge of a building with no heat was no joke, the food was OK, but for what your paying you want a warm environment. Im a disabled Pensioner, paying over 40 odd quid for 2 meals & drinks, we are entitled to eating with ( heating ) Won't go back again, until they wake their ideas up 🤔

Jason the new manager is a legend he has a great vibe and is a hard worker respect To people like him

Came here for our anniversary meal Great food ,lovely staff Will be definitely going back

Fantastic service from Max the bartender!

Antic pub. Good wheat beer (Blue Moon?), good music (rock/indie/alt). Menu looks nice apart from their (and to be fair, just about everyone's) obsession that a brioche bun makes a good burger roll. So in summary... Very nice pub. 🍻👍

Plenty of seating,plenty of area to eat ,staff polite and fast, selection of beer,down side toilets upstairs

Just had a beautiful meal at the Eltham GPO. Everything was delicious and nicely cooked. We couldn't fault anything, whatsoever. Our waitress was lovely. Very attentive. Such a nice evening. Will definitely be returning soon.

Don't no about the food as I didn't eat in there but staff were ever so friendly

Interesting building, friendly staff, great beer on tap.

Always the best pub in Eltham but even more so after the refurb! Sunday lunch is great 👍

Almost Every single thing ordered on menu had run out. When we got the food it was inedible. Thought we was in a playground with children running around. Won't be coming back any time soon.

We asked for the trio of meats but we're told because it was 5:30 they had sold out and had also sold out of chicken ( although the website says they serve till 9:30) the waiter told me it was 8 but regardless they had also sold out of 2 of the 3 side orders. So I ordered roast beef which I did asked to be well done however I could not even cut it with my knife it was totally inedible. All the time I was trying to eat there were children screaming, dancing and one young boy even started riding his bike. Mix all that in with the noise of music and everybody chatting it was worse that being in a children's party in McDonalds. Needless to say couple that experience with a service charge of nearly £10 it not an experience I will be repeating anytime soon. So glad I did this as a trial run for Christmas dinner. Will be sticking to where we usually go.

I'm not fussy, but I can't eat onion, garlic, spices and there was nothing on the menu I could eat. Drinks quite expensive and didn't seem to have any atmosphere. Only stayed for 1 drink and went to bk for a burger on the way home

Good fish and chips, Sunday roast not bad either service a bit slow

What a nice surprise the inside is much better than the outside looks worth going in and seeing for yourself

La oficina de correos de Eltham fue construida originalmente en Passey Place en 1912. Entró en Eltham GPO para tomar una copa después del trabajo. El pub estaba limpio, cómodo y espacioso y decorado con imágenes que relatan su historia como una antigua oficina de clasificación / correos. Buscando una visita de regreso 🍻🍷

A great pub in Eltham! Looks snazzy, dogs are welcome, great independent beers on tap and the food is delicious! Highly recommended - Sunday roasts are great!!!

A perfect local pub for all occasions, very dog friendly with excellent food and service.

Really nice pub, has a nice outside space

Lovely pub Great food and a great atmosphere ,my server was Deanna she was brilliant

Tuvimos almuerzo de reunión familiar en una zona reservada del pub, que era ideal para todos nosotros de 2 a 70 años. Todo el mundo se lo pasó genial. La comida era genial, y el personal era servicial y amable.

Lovely family friendly pub. Went there after a kids birthday party. Great space to sit and chill. The food was very tasty, I had the Chicken burger, my dad had the fish and chips which he said was very fresh and delicious. My son has a fish allergy and ARFID. Even though he couldn't find anything to eat they accommodated him by allowing him to bring in a sandwich from outside and eat. Friendly and helpful staff and topped it off with delicious cheesecake.

Nice atmosphere, and good amount of space.

The best pub in Eltham, amazing food and personal, warm atmosphere

Pub was lovely , dog friendly including ugly girls Frea served good pints

Quality grub. Pleasant bar staff. Wholesome vibe. Great experience everytime. Shout out to Freya behind the bar who went above and beyond to provide the all of the above.

The food was delicious! We stopped in for a Sunday roast with friends and dogs- it was phenomenal. The staff were incredible and the service was unmatched. I think it’s the best roast we’ve had in a while!

It is great to see an amazing bar and restaurant Neil , asst Manager is an awesome host and has a passion for his bar and restaurant Great food , amazing service, great atmosphere Highly recommend

We had a lovely afternoon at the GPO. We ordered the three small plates for £21 and each one was so tasty. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back!

Nicely modern designed building with shabby chic feel. Area to drink outside. Service good. Drinks on tap were standard. Food looked ok but we didn’t eat this time.

The place is super nice. We had the honor to listen to a lice street performer and it was amazing. The pub is clean, nice and the staff is great as well. I haven't tries their food yet but I'm moving in the area I'll surely be here a lot. I love this place so far!

Un gran grupo de nosotros almorzamos, los 5 por £ 35 entrantes / compartir platos fueron increíbles, tuvimos el calamar, los bocados de pollo coreano, pimientos padron, chorizo frito y papas fritas Halloumi. La red era igual de buena, recomendaría el eglefino rebozado, el Gammon y la hamburguesa de queso de la casa, los desiertos hicieron muy felices a mis amigos, especialmente la tarta de queso. En general una muy buena experiencia y el servicio fue insuperable, volveremos muy pronto.

Lovely place for lunch with my work mates, also great for after work too ,good food and a verity of drinks

He estado aquí un par de veces y he tenido la esperanza de que la comida podría mejorar dado el tiempo. Esta semana fue el impulso que necesitaba para dejar una reseña. Siempre me pareció alentador el menú. Esta visita probamos el pollo frito coreano y los calamares como entrantes. . El pollo no tenía sabor por derecho propio y la salsa no podía cubrir la mala calidad del pollo. No parece que esté preparado en el día. Los calamares se cocinaban en aceite viejo, por lo que había que darle un color demasiado marrón a la batería y no tenían condimento. Fuimos por las hamburguesas (hamburguesa de ternera y pollo con suero de mantequilla). La hamburguesa de ternera estaba bien, pero de nuevo la hamburguesa de pollo estaba demasiado cocida. Saltaré la comida en el futuro hasta que vea un cambio de menú. Es triste ya que este lugar tiene excelentes cervezas, un buen diseño y ambiente incluso cuando es tranquilo.

Nice atmosphere, staff and drinks

Really enjoyable. The food and service was excellent. The atmosphere relaxed. Spotlessly clean. Would recommend without hesitation.

Haven't been here for a long while but the refurbishment is great a much more welcoming place. Love the new layout and the atmosphere was very relaxed and chilled. Had a sharing platter of nachos and they were delicious and plentiful. Will definitely be back sooner rather than later

Estaba deseando una experiencia encantadora después de leer algunas críticas. Sin embargo... el servicio fue terrible, esperamos más de media hora entre el pedido y la llegada de la comida y tuvimos que preguntar dónde estaba antes de que nos dijeran que seríamos los siguientes... no estaba ocupado... Cuando llegó la comida el pollo kiev estaba seco y desprovisto de ajo, el humus en el plato de meze no era comestible como demasiado salado y el pan francés caliente en los arados estaba frío y duro. La guinda del pastel fue reservada con una nota que indica que uno de los participantes utilizó una silla de ruedas y en ningún momento nos informaron que el inodoro para discapacitados estaba fuera de servicio, con los otros inodoros estaban arriba tuvimos que salir para que nuestro familiar usara el inodoro. El personal estaba tan ocupado moviendo mesas para acomodar a la gente que quería ver el fútbol que tuvimos que pedir dos veces la cuenta y 15 minutos después finalmente llegó. Volveré a visitarte!

Went there for dinner. Good food. Fairly priced. Friendly and efficient staff. Sat outside a little bit of road noise but didn't spoil anything. Will definitely be going again

What a beautiful building housing this pub. Our first visit looking for a bite to eat. Delicious food and great service. The vinho Verde was first class. Highly recommend ed

Just want to say that this place provides one of the best service that I have ever experienced ! Thank you wonderful people for such a welcoming atmosphere. 💌🥰💝

Finally a nice pub in eltham good atmosphere, nice inside also a nice space outside...friendly staff

Modern chic I interior. Good smokers courtyard. Prices are reasonable. Toilets clean. Plenty of Tvs dotted around as I was there to watch the first England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Serbia 🇷🇸 euro football game. Not too loud, so you can actually watch the footy and chat with your family. We had all the tapas plates on the menu, which were very tasty. I will revisit.

Went for lunch on Tuesday 18 June 2024, Lovely pub restaurant , great friendly helpful and attentive waitress. We both had house cheese burger and chips, really tasty. Will definitely come again and spread the word👍

I went for lunch during the week. I liked the variety of beers, lovely inside space and great service. I had a burger, which for my taste was a bit dry but the sides were great! The price was reasonable. I'll give it another try and be back soon. ☺️

Great food and service, but menu changed, veggie options reduced and not as good.

This is a review of the Eltham GPO as a pub for a pint of Ale. I cannot give or make no comment regarding the food. This is one of a tranche of pubs that the Portobello Brewery bought off Antic in 2020 and it was shut down for three months in the second half of last year whilst it underwent a complete makeover, therefore none of the previous reviews dated before October last year now really apply. What we have now is a very smart pub, both inside and outside. You can still see traces of the former Antic pub in the ceiling and the bare boarded wooden floor, but the furniture and décor is now much more modern, with a lot of the space aligned to dining but still with enough sections more aligned to sitting with a beer. And in that respect, there are now three ale hand pumps on the bar alongside some keg dispensers for modern craft ales. Portobello Star Bitter and Stiff Lip IPA were on with FivePoints XPA on the third pump as a guest. There were some interesting craft options such as Brixton Atlantic APA on the taps. I have a very soft spot for former GPO buildings turned into pubs and I thought this is now a particularly good example.

Really good renovation to the property. Food is really nice especially there roast dinners, and reasonable.priced. drink prices are a little high and service is abit to be desired. Both Ng on the staff they are great, just a little too much for them to handle.by themselves. Would be nice to see the manager guy chip in with service rather than just walking around is all. Very nice establishment and worth a visit.💯

Lovely atmosphere and superb staff, great beer.. I even got a frosted glass straight from the freezer which makes the lager taste even better. A very comfortable place for a beer I didn't eat but what I saw come out for other customers looked great.

Large and airy pub in center of shopping area. Decent range of ale, not too pricey.

Beautiful newly renovated pub with amazing food. Also a good place to work during the week. There’s step-free access from the side.

Been here a couple of times, always good.

Visited for the first time on a Wednesday lunch time. Atmosphere lovely although the ceiling still needs to be finished I believe. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional and a refreshing surprise for a local establishment. The schnitzel was crispy and moist with great flavours. The beetroot burger was full of flavour but could have done with a bit more cole slaw. Chips were good too. Overall a great lunch. It wasn’t busy at all so I hope the standards are the same when it’s busy. I will definitely visit again and support this lovely local establishment

This is a lovely pub to visit, it is dog friendly with helps when wanting to eat out after a nice walk. Didnt eat this time but will be back soon.

Very tasty food. Lovely staff. Pub looks great after renovation. Open, airy spaces.

It's a lovely pub, dog friendly, outside seating. The beer seems reasonably priced but I havent tried the food. Cant comment on food, service or atmosphere. Great location.

Snob pub, staff can't have a laugh, lefty leaning, not the sort of pub for Eltham. £6.40 a pint of Guinness or should i say 6.4 😂 where you going with them prices? 4 Guinness £25.60. Comment on price and was told to go to wetherspoons. Dont worry i most certainly will next time of one of the many other pubs in local area. No football, no music just news from the bias brocasting corporation. Do youself a favour people, find somewhere else unless your one of those types of corse, certainly not for me and the majority of SE9. More for the lqbqiadhdlala community and other similar types. Won't be returning, ta la.... Blonde northern bird nice to look at but I've seen lampposts with more personality. That also goes for the rest of the staff in there. Luxembourg is the country btw... can people not chat and be social in a social setting anymore without being judged? The pub has a serious fly infestation, you know the small slow ones that fly around the glasses and food, certainly wouldn't want to be eating in there, sure the vegans wouldn't appreciate the protein feeding on their avocado and tofo. Maybe don't judge a book by its cover in regards to your future customers. Funny how both tables between me had menus delivered to them shortly after walking in whilst I had nothing but peculiar looks. Not that I would have eaten in there but you can definitely sense the 'discrimination'. Im just a 30 year old white bloke, lived in the area my whole life. Seems their catering to the minority like most things in the country nowadays. I like to support local pubs but this is one i certainly wouldnt miss if it shut down, sooner the better imo. Flies are an indication of cleanliness and the toilets upstairs are filthy, posh soap though. Ripping customers off with the prices but cant keep up basic hygeine standards. Get a Subway if your hungy, directly opposite and open till late. Cheaper, friendly and they don't they dont have a fly problem. Winner winner subway dinner 👍

Nice venue, good food with fair prices.

Great place , atmosphere was lovely , beers very nice , food delicious...however the service was poor ....it wasn't really busy it was steady , sat at our table after around 15 mins I had to get up and ask for the menus, the waitress the came over after to take our order she was very friendly and polite , starters arrived food was good , then had our main courses all good again ....the we were just left , I then had to get up twice more and ask for the table to be cleared , and to ask if we could order more drinks , we weren't even asked about desert ...??...I then had to get up and ask for the bill ......the waiting staff weren't very attentive ...but good food , atmosphere etc ...

Great pub, great Guinness, super dog friendly, couldn't ask for more. The lamb roast is also incredibly good!

Great Sunday roast. Loved the lamb. Recommend the cauli-cheese side. Great Guinness. Super friendly staff who treated my large dog like royalty with treats and blankets and fuss.

This is a lovely place, it's just a shame the manager (lady) speaks to her staff terribly and then talks about them to customers behind their backs. Other customers can hear clearly and its not nice at all

Large Pub wEasy to get a table even with the rugby on. Outside area.

First time I have visited. I am unable to leave my elderly dog alone and it was great that she could come with me in her pushchair.

Good food and excellent service A pleasant hour

Loving the recent refurbishment and more importantly the great sounding and tasting menu. The menu has a good variety of dishes (but not too big) which allows the kitchen to push out great tasting pub and bistro level food. The Korean chicken bites were delicious and I was very happy to see a bit of fusion on their menu. The fish and chips was flavoursome and fresh, definitely a lot better than other pubs in the area. The chicken schnitzel was crispy and cooked well but could have done with perhaps a bit more flavour in the breadcrumb to whack it up a notch. The sticky toffee pudding was the perfect (and filling) end to the meal, a definite winner. The service was great and the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back to try the Sunday roasts!

Great Sunday roasts and excellent service.

This pub is in great shape after having been refurbished. I booked a table for lunch, a group of six of us enjoyed the Sunday roast. Service was friendly and attentive.

Lovely pub grub for midweek treat or lunch. Gets busy in evening at weekends so be sure to book.

Just stopped off for a few drinks, including cocktails 🍸 which were very nice.. Pub fairly busy.. as it has been since the refurbishment.

Pub with exceptional service and cosy atmosphere in the heart of beautiful Eltham only 10 min walk from Eltham train station. The food is also good. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

We were there one off but atmosphere was excellent.

Lovely old nostalgic pub , loved the decor and atmoshere the food was tastey and presented well and hot as cooked to order , staff were very friendly and helpful , we enjoyed our evening before going to the cinema to watch Elvis movie , the decor put us right back to the 60/70s THANKYOU Went backbto GPO for a lovely sunday roast with my mum and two sisters. During summer months Refurbishment took place , today was our first time back ..lovely I industrial look about the pub , maybe not as nostalgic as before but still very inviting , warm , and a lovely bit of dinner . We had a lovely pre Christmas afternoon

Great food we had the Christmas meal three courses, plenty of food and everything delicious. Great friendly service from Sunny (thanks for looking after us) really nice atmosphere, with a DJ in the evening - will be back

Great service and friendly atmosphere. Just a bit cold inside.. loved the staff and food

Fantastic pub! The food was great, the drinks were great (and pretty reasonably priced for LDN), and the staff were fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better setting for mine and my partners engagement party! We had around 50 people, and were able to book a section of the pub. It was the perfect mix of being slightly separate but still very much part of the pub and the atmosphere! The staff were amazing, friendly and efficient (and this is on a busy Saturday around Christmas so hats off they really made sure we were well taken care of) Nikki was also a star. She’s been organising this with me for the last month and made everything so easy and relaxed! Even calling me to chat through extra details. It’s thanks to her and the whole team at the GPO that the party was such a roaring success! Everything went smoothly with the drinks and food that I had pre ordered (around 30 glasses of Prosecco, a tab for non-alcoholic drinks & several sharing platters of food that they brought out after everyone was settled). All the food was excellent, the mac and cheese bites in particular were banging - many compliments to the chefs from myself and my friends and family. I shall also pass on that many of my friends and family complimented the venue during the night. I can’t recommend this pub enough, and thank you so much for hosting us.

Newly refurbished, with an attractive menu and attentive staff. A winner...

Very very nice service lovely coffee made for me and was very happy with the printed leaf on it the worker was very proud of herself well done 😌 would recommend it 5 stars defenetly come again 😃😃😃😃

Wow , what a great night we had last night ! We came in for a pre Christmas get together and couldn’t be more suprised. We had food and THEN a DJ turned up and played some great songs - had loads of people up dancing. Great suprise , DJ very friendly and played our requests ! food and staff very efficient and friendly. Apparently the music is happening on all Fridays in december so will see you next week ! 10/10

First time I’ve been to this pub, won’t be the last . Great selection on beers on tap . Really love a frosted glass as well. Warm and friendly environment with great staff .

Partner and I had a good Sunday roast yesterday. Pub was very busy. Very good service and the pub had a good friendly atmosphere. Will certainly try again. The refurbishment looks great.

Lovely place for a good catch up with friends. Connor (bartender) does an amazing job with cocktails and is always lovely, professional and on the ball with the busy atmosphere there. We've made it a regular spot for us! Love it.

Lovely pub, wish we could have stayed longer! Visited on Saturday afternoon after the Passey Place Christmas event and the pub had a lovely atmosphere. I believe it has recently undergone a refurbishment and the decor is lovely - very bright, airy and modern.

Since the renovation service has gone seriously downhill. Tables not being cleared, tables not being cleaned, waiting endlessly at the bar even when they don't appear to be busy. QR codes on the tables that don't work. Hopefully it's just teething issued since the refurbishment but if it continues they won't continue to have my business.

One of the best roast dinner's you will ever eat. The trio of sides complimented the meal well also. Would highly recommend this place.

We had booked for the Sunday roast, and upon arrival, was shown to our table. After roughly 15 minutes, a waitress turned up and asked us if we wanted drinks ( we had already decided on our starter and main by this time ) . She returned five minutes later with the drinks and said someone would be with us shortly to take our order. Ten minutes later, a waitress came to our table and took our order. I ordered the camembert starter to share, and the trio of meat roast main and my partner ordered the vegetarian roast main. The camembert starter was good. It was overpriced but good. A waitress came to clear our plates and cutlery and said she would bring some clean knives and forks - she didn't. I had to grab some from a vacant table. When the mains turned up, my partner was presented with a pork roast ( luckily, she is not of the Islamic faith). She explained she had ordered the vegetarian, the waitress apologised and said she would sort it out. About 5 minutes later, another waitress returned with a roast - a vegan roast ! We mentioned that it was missing the yorkshire pudding ( the only difference between the vege and vegan ). Whilst waiting for the missing pudding to arrive, we were presented with a plate of pigs in blankets and other bits , we explained we hadn't ordered them, the waitress apologised and then disappeared with said plate. I had nearly eaten my roast by the time my partner got her yorkshire pudding , not just a single yorkshire pudding though, 3 yorkshire puddings turned up The waitress apologised again and took the other 2 away . It was only a couple of minutes after that another waitress came over.... with another yorkshire pudding !! The apologies were getting boring now and falling on deaf ears. Finally, after a catalogue of errors and ridiculous waiting times, we had finished eating , I have to say, the food was good though, hence the 4 stars. I fancied a lager to finish off and help me relax some. As our table was being cleared, I put in my request for the pint. The waitress returned 10 minutes later and said to me, " Oh, you ordered a drink, didn't you ?" I don't know how I held back from unleashing a string of expletives ! It was staring to feel like it was all deliberate. How else could there be this many f@@k ups by accident? There seemed to be a complete loss of communication between the waitresses. We paid and went to another pub for drinks .

Newly refurbished, I revisited with a friend and greatly enjoyed our lunch. The staff and manager are friendly, welcoming and helpful and we like the feel of the place. We plan to use it as our meeting place.

Went to this place last night - Had a lovely time -staff were really friendly -our orders were taken by Georgie and she was a sweetheart - I think the other lady’s name began with an A I’m so sorry I can’t remember but she had bright funky hair 😀Food was hot and tasty especially the chunky chips ! We will be back soon

Had lunch here today, I had the shedded chicken flatbread and fries. Was surprised by the ample amount of food for only £8.50 and it was cooked well and delicious Service was quick and staff were friendly Will be back again to sample the Sunday roast Thank you Jim and the staff for your friendly welcome.
