King's Arms in Greenwich

Stopped in to have a pint. They were out of a couple of the beers. There were dirty glasses on some of the tables. We were told they would come over and clean the table, but they never did.

Firstly I’d like to say that I like this pub. However, the fish and chips are terrible. The fish is mainly overcooked batter with less fish than your average fish finger. We sent the first two back but the replacements were only marginally better as they were not so overcooked. Should have learnt my lesson from a previous similar experience as I gave them a second which is clearly not deserved. If you can’t cook a decent fish in batter you need a different chef and a better supplier. Please supply an email address so that I can contact you as per your suggestion in your reply.

Actually a nice pub. And with the typical pub rules you should know. Order for everyone at the bar and pay immediately. Of course, you pay a 12.5% service charge (tip) for a ... well, self-service? The food is average and our room was cold so I had to keep my jacket on while eating. I ordered a hot tea instead of a normal drink as a heater so I had somewhere to keep warm.

Really pleasant atmosphere! Great ale selection.

Very friendly staff, delicious “steak and ale pie”. Something went wrong with the preparation of our pie, we were informed 3 times about the delay, each time with extensive apologies, and, as a compensation, a glass of wine for free. Did I mention the pie was delicious? Atmosphere/decor could be a little better, but could also have been due to the time of day (Friday afternoon 2-3 o'clock)

It's a really good Greene King pub. The food is reasonably nice for the price. I especially like their cheese and bacon burger. They lost a star for the lack of seating. But a good Greene King pub.

In my opinion a tourist trap, £7.50 for a pint of lager. Completely excessive. I can't judge food. Ambience ok.

Okay bar and floor staff were nice and pub is in good location but would really refrain from having food here again. Two steak sandwiches took 50-60 mins to arrive. Steak came Luke warm with such basic bread and the chips came out 5 mins later evidently forgotten about. Really disappointing considering the wealth of choices of pubs we had in Greenwich.

The Kings Arms is a traditional British pub located in the heart of Greenwich, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. On a rainy Saturday, it provided a welcome respite from the weather outside. The pub boasts a wide selection of beers, wines, and spirits, including some local options. The food menu looked appetizing, with classic pub dishes like fish and chips, burgers, and pies. While the atmosphere and drinks were certainly appealing, the bar service was a bit slow, perhaps due to the busy weekend crowd. Despite this, the staff was friendly and helpful when taking orders. Overall, the Kings Arms is a cozy spot to enjoy a pint and some traditional pub fare, but visitors should be prepared for a potential wait at the bar.

Great lunch after a walk in greenwich, good food and lovely staff

A very plain and simple pub. If you are looking to try different types of Ale, they don't have much choice.

The best sunday roast beef Ive ever had!!!

The Kings Arms in Greenwich was a pleasant discovery after a visit to the observatory and the Cutty Sark which is just a stone's throw away. The beer selection is wide and well curated, with options for all tastes. We ate great English pub food: burgers and chips and fish and chips. Quiet and welcoming environment.

we love it here, we come every friday and the service is always great!! especially James and Abi always go above and beyond and are always so welcoming - just come here trust me ❤️

A wonderful pub with hight quality food and friendly service.

Great food and beer. Alex is very friendly and sociable! And he’s pulling 12hr shifts on a broken ankle . Get this man an office job!

Very nice pub and friendly staff

Pub quiz is rigged, quiz master mates win it every week, drinks are expensive too. Avoid

This is quite a decent sized pub with a garden that is good in warmer weathers. They have a good selection of wine, which is labelled vegan on the menu, it's a real plus as a dedicated vegan. I always enjoy visiting here.

Awful experience for Sunday lunch. A pub that has such great potential it's a shame to see it clearly under poor management. To start, there were four of us and they seated us on a two seater table with 4 chairs squeezed around it. After complaining we got seated at a much bigger table. Self service is fine, but when there is a long queue and only one lady serving whilst the other male member of staff appears to be " checking stock " in the mini fridge is very frustrating. Additionally the food is AWFUL! Overcooked, stale, and not worth the outrageous prices. Avoid.

Great little establishment this. Bartender Gem had great chat, poured a decent pint n all. A little attentiveness goes a long way. Had a little chat with one of the chefs from the kitchen. Stumpy bloke named Rocco. Didn’t really seem like he knew what was going on but he whipped up a class burger. Overall a pretty solid experience for what it is. Don’t let the establishment rule the roost.

Just had Christmas dinner and it was exceptional 😋 as always the food and service is 100% bang on , we will be back again

Authentic british pub! We truly enjoyed our evening here. The food was amazing, really kind service and I can not even describe the beer, Level Head Session IPA!

It is outrageous that this pub can still operate a kitchen. Ordered a fish and chips and got served one maggot. While the staff was great and refunded the plate + gave us a new one, saw at least 2 other tables returning plates with issues. Urgent inspection needed

My wife's toasted cheese was lightly toasted and was soggy. Expensive.

Roast was very nice and filling. Also the service was very good. The manager was accommodating. Would come again!

Wer richtig gut britisch, traditionsreich essen möchte ist hier genau richtig.

Perfect service exceptional staff and lovely and cosy on a cold December day

Well... What can you say about this place. Used to be a nice welcoming bar. Now almost barred for standing at the bar. No conversations just rude barman

We've kept visiting the place for a couple of years and are always happy 😊 It's a tradition we'll be happy to stick to.

We were quite disappointed with the food but the service was very good. Stone cold mussels and chips & completely raw whole carrots served with my pie - the beef pie was amazing though!!

The nachos were delicious and the atmosphere was nice.

Haven't been here for a while, it's had a great revamp, good selection of beers and great service

Great find, excellent choice on menu with reasonable prices. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return.

Really lovely place, lots of seating, good food, friendly staff.

Friendly staff, great service and a relaxed pub. Unfortunately the triple fried chips were very pale and not crispy; just ordinary once-fried chips. The Aperol Spritz was also very pale and weak - too much soda water was added. I wouldn't recommend it, so just order wine or beer rather than cocktails.

Stopped at this nice establishment for a quick bite. Surprised but the generous servings. Friendly service in nice pub setting.

Ce pub situé à Greenwich Village et très accueillant. La cuisine est bonne .

Went for dinner during rugby World Cup. They were really nice to us, giving us a good seat. Food was very good indeed. Lovely homemade chicken pie and seafood. Would recommend.

Been to this place 3 times, unfortunately. The most rude staff you can ever find, do not go here if you want a nice evening, plenty better places around. First time we went here, we got shouted at for breaking a glass and staff having to sweep it - we didn’t break it, it was left by previous guests. Second time, we were with a dog. It is a ‘dog friendly’ place. Next time we went to grab a pint from the bar we heard the staff talking between themselves how nasty our dog is and how they hate people coming here with dogs. (We confronted them about it and their attitude was more than dismissive). Least you could have done is to apologise. Third time, they sold us beer from the bar. When we came to grab a second pint, we were declined due to not having an ID. We are over 30. You already sold us pints😂 IDs of other customers were not checked. To the bearded guy who is probably the manager - find yourself another job, hospitality is not meant to torment girls on your power trip.

Great pub that most walk past, never too busy so perfect for a post park pint. They have a great beer garden too

Beer garden, not tidy toilets, paper everywhere gentleman with glasses seems to be the manager to busy chatting with the staff

Came in for Sunday Roast. Gravy was good and the portion was generous. Vegetables were slightly undercooked. Glass for drink was quite dirty.

Popped on for a drink before Madonna concert (she was fab). Really lovely pub, busy as rugby was on. The roast dinners looked really tasty - saw the 1/2 chicken one go past- smelled amazing and great portion size. The beer garden at the back is really quaint. Would definitely visit again for drinks and food.

Great pub for food and drinks, very near to Greenwich park

Lovely beer garden! Very polite and kind staff! Spotless clean! Really enjoyed!

Nice place and staff are very helpful and friendly

Nice bright pub with polite service and great courtyard. Typical Green King Chain Pub Fair but with a few menu items not offered elsewhere. One of the better ones visited in London. Enjoyed the steak pie very much.

Staff and atmosphere were amazing, very friendly.

Héél vriendelijk personeel...leuke sfeer.

Food is good although they could serve food faster. Timing is lacking.

Really nice pub. The food was excellent and the service the same. A very good place to go and relax and enjoy yourself. Will definitely be back 👍👍👍👍

Lovely pub close to Greenwich Park. We shared a toastie and chips with a couple of pints and had an enjoyable hour here. Wish it had been a little warmer and we would have sat in the inviting beer garden.

Wouldn't recommend the Sirloin Steak

An excellent comfortable pub with very friendly staff and very well kept beer. Pleasant garden too. If all Greene King pubs were like this the UK would be a happier place.

Kings Arms is a place where you can escape the chaos of modern life and connect with the past. For me, it's more than a pub; it's a sanctuary of history, camaraderie, and the simple pleasures of life. The Kings Arms is where I go to find solace and a sense of belonging in a fast-paced world.

Great pub which was a jewel in the very busy and competitive area of London. Loads of eateries and pubs and this place was a quiet oasis not far from the gate to Greenwich park. We found a small table in the courtyard area at the rear of the pub, where we had shade and a comfortable seat. Plenty of people eating and drinking, families, friends and couples. It appears popular and the menu covers all the usual pub fare, burgers, fish and chips, toasties, salads etc. We didn't eat there, but a lot of people were eating and the food and portions looked good. You are able to book the booths at the rear of the courtyard. Table service of food seemed to be available, order at the bar. If we were in the area again we would definitely return.

Lovely pub in the heart of Greenwich. Great beer garden. Nicely furnished. Busy so nice buzzing atmosphere.

Worst possible service, staff was extremely rude, we waited for food for an hour just to be snapped at when asking what’s going on. Would not recommend

Really like this place! And... they have live music!

Great pies, especially the Steak and Ale. Lots of meat in it. Plenty of chips and veg. Substantial dinner.

Beautiful pub. Best beer garden in the area.

Love this pub, service friendly, I only had a coffee but the food being served looked lovely

Salt and pepper squid had neither salt nor pepper. Staff was generally rude. Garden would be nice if it wasn’t for staff rudeness.

We’ve been going to this place for 7 years since we moved to Greenwich and it used to be our favourite. We would even take our friends here telling them “it’s the place to try fish and chips guys” but yesterday we were so disappointed with our food😣 I came there to have their usually fantastic tasty and golden soft fish but instead I got dark brown stone crusty something that clearly didn’t identify as fish anymore and was absolutely inedible (you can see it my photo - it’s actually all the “fish” after i broke the crust , I couldn’t eat it). I don’t know why I didn’t complain to the staff or didn’t ask for a replacement food, probably because I was too tired to start that) I hope it was a one time situation and whoever cooked that “fish” yesterday will never do it again.

Good beer in draught and for a decent price. Very friendly service and food was fab, hot and a good portion size - will be returning

Birra molto buona. Anche l'hamburger e il dolce al cioccolato erano buoni.Zona affascinante. Unico neo: troppo lenti a preparare gli hamburger. Non so se è stato un caso isolato.

Great ol’ pub with good vibes. The food was descent and I’ll definitely be back when visiting Greenwich again. You order at the bar and they bring the food.

Favorite pub in Greenwich. I mean it’s kinda standard but that’s not a bad thing. Usually not too busy unlike the rest of the Greenwich pubs. Nice cozy vibe inside and a solid garden out back. Staff are great. Food could be improved (shared the chicken platter) but would really just go here for drinks anyways.

Ci siamo fidati dell’esterno, molto caratteristico, dopo la visita al museo e prima della visita a Greenwich, avevamo famina! Abbiamo mandato un sandwich con pollo, bacon e maionese, rucola e cipolla! Patatine doppie con una maionese da urlo e una birra molto buona, con il bicchiere fiochissimo! Andate, hanno prezzi onesti e cibo buono.

My dad recommended this gem after having food in here a couple of weeks ago. When I came up to London to visit him, he took us in here... I was intrigued as when I googled it - it said it was a well-known chain pub. These pubs mostly serve ping and ding food so I was pleasantly surprised and happy that the menu at The Kings Arms was much more classy than those particular chain pubs round my way! The staff were helpful and friendly as soon as we walked in. I wanted to sit in the garden and most tables were taken except the big booths at the end - which were covered in plates and glasses... They came and cleared one of them so we could sit there. Then the garden started to clear and we ended up changing tables about three times, but they were so accommodating! The food was delicious! We all had the steak pie and over-ordered on the sides but had eyes bigger than bellies! The portions were huge! The staff were so lovely and brought more gravy :) When the garden all lit up at night it was so pretty! I didn't want to leave! A really lovely afternoon and evening. Thank you so much!

Really nice pub in great location.

I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday roast at this charming pub in Greenwich. Really nice patio area, and good atmosphere in general. Maybe it's the location, but it came off as very touristy in case you were looking for any local flavour. I suppose I can't complain though, because I was there as a tourist.

A lovely place in a lovely area. The food honestly wasn't the best or the worse, a little mid and the service we got could have been better but other than that, it's a very nice place. The ambiance on the outside terrace is relaxed but alive and it's a nice break from the busier parts of London.

Great outdoor space. Well priced too

Great little pub with excelent food and atmosphere. We ordered their signature kings arms burger and chicken kyiv and it was amazing. Delicious and the portion sizes were extensive. Don't let me get started on the garlic bread. Simply lovely. Great selection of beers and nice staff to pour them for you. Sitting in the backyard you get the feeling like you're in a little old town terrace. Would highly recommend!!!

Food is not living up to the price

Nice pub, went for lunch with my wife for lunch, was told at least an hour before any food could be served.

Only pub in Greenwich showing the women’s football!! ⚽️ Lovely comfortable homely atmosphere, great bar staff, solid range of drinks, coffee available, peaceful location and great garden in the middle of a popular spot!

The pub provides a wonderful hangout spot! With great food and drinks, it offers a cozy environment. It's a perfect place to relax with friends and have a good time. The friendly atmosphere adds to the overall enjoyment. If you're seeking a spot to unwind and share good moments, the pub is an excellent option!

Slow service and not enough staff. Still waiting… staff aren’t concerned. This place was good in the past.

Traditional Englisch furnishings make for a great atmosphere. Friendly and quick service.

A nice, friendly pub which is well placed for the Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark and Greenwich Park. A bit pricey for my liking, but that's Greenwich for you.

Staff were really friendly and the meals were nice

Awful food in what looked like a nice pub. Our visit was the 21/07/2023 approximately 5.30pm our order was the fish and chips at, I believe £16.99 each £42.85 with two drinks. The drinks were fine the fish and chips awful. The fish was hard and dry the meals were cold. Although a number of staff were stood behind the bar and the pub wasn’t busy, the tables were sticky and unkempt. No one bothered to ask how our meals were and we left unimpressed. We loved our visit to Greenwich and will be back, although not in the Kings Arms.🙁

Food was ok but took 50 minutes to get to the table. Lots of staff. 5 out of 6 craft beers were off sale.

Second time I've eaten at this chain and never again sirloin steak was rubbish onion rings X2 the size of cherry tomatoes one had been cooked multiple times 😔 chips were barely cooked gravy was just warm ,wasn't even busy No one asked if the food was ok Advice steer clear of this chain Bar was too busy to complain after we finished poor poor place

It was hot and we wanted to go somewhere with an outside space - wow! What a lovely little pub in the centre of Greenwich. The beer garden is really pretty with strung festoon lights and lots of seating and quite intimate, but not cramped. Think 'Secret Garden' vibes. The only downside with outdoor spaces is that not everyone is a smoker and we were sat eating next to a table of smokers who clearly did not consider anyone other than themselves - including my two children. The entire footprint should be no-smoking if food is being offered. The pub is immaculately clean - spotless - and beautifully decorated. Enough theme but not gimmicky. There were two front of house staff on - Maclaren and Jana and the chef, Taylor. It was quite a busy late Sunday afternoon. They had clearly been rushed off their feet all day and yet we were greeted with big smiles and a warm welcome, as was everyone else that came in behind me. Maclaren was also very pregnant and yet she zipped about confidently offering the best customer service I have experienced in a very long time. She is a star employee and great ambassador for the brand. The food was slow coming because only one chef was on, but we were warned of this BEFORE we ordered so it was our decision to stay put. And so glad we did. The food was excellent value and Taylor did a great job on their own in the kitchen. I forgot to mention they are super doggy friendly. All in all, our new favourite little gem in the centre of Greenwich.

The service was a bit slower than they said it would be and we had a train to catch. Everything else was absolutely great. Lovely beer garden, good drinks, charming, helpful young staff and brilliant food

I had haloumi fries and a House Burger with onion rings. Food was ok as long as one is a fan of very greasy, oily meals. Not for me.

Really good beer and food. Friendly staff.

Great pub, lovely staff, fantastic garden out the back!

Traditional pub with a great beer garden, reasonably priced and friendly staff

Arrived in Greenwich to see Tom Jones and had lovely service food( best burger ever Kings Arms special 😋) all of us happy with other meals too and great atmosphere 😀

Very cozy pub with kind staff and a heart for pets (there's a "pet hydriation station" outside in the yard)

Schönes Pub, aber Bedienung nicht zu gebrauchen. Lange Wartezeit und dan die Bestellung vergessen. Bei 4 Gästen an der Bar.

Been before and liked it so went again good meal and friendly staff

Very lovely pub, it's always been quiet when we've been there, but with a nice atmosphere. Lovely place to just sit and chill with friends
