The Guildford Arms in Greenwich

This is the second time we have come for Sunday roast and it was amazing both times. Also the staff were really friendly and helpful. So well done to all involved, what a really great place to relax and have great food.👏

Our favourite place to go, never disappoints and the best food always!

I've been coming to Guildform Arms for 3 years already and the place feels like home. The food is fantastic, fresh ingredients and homemade food. The wine list is really good and the beers are great. The back garden in spring and summer is unbeatable but the inner space is my fav.

Such a good experience in this restaurant. I ordered hummus as an apoetizer and got in love with the bread. Main dish was salmon with vegetables and plating was just fantastic.I fully recommend this clean and cozy place.

Really enjoyed our Sunday lunch - delicious food, lovely pub and very friendly staff!

Great food and pleasant atmosphere, a local pub fit for groups of any size. I always feel great here

Disappointing. Service really slow - we had to keep finding the waiter! The special-deal onglet steak was not at all exciting and even though we had it medium-rare as recommended it was chewy. The side salad was a non-event - just a few leaves with a bit of vinegar. No atmosphere in the place - and (not surprisingly) only two other tables were occupied. On top of this, there was nowhere to hang our wet coats - when asked the waiter said there were hooks near the entrance door but did not offer to take them over so we had to look at them draped over the backs of the chairs at the adjacent table. Guess what, I'm not recommending it!

Had dinner here yesterday evening, Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Plenty of vegetarian options. Looking forward to coming again.

Anke was amazing. Her knowledge of the menu and warm personality, made us feel welcome and made our anniversary celebration so special. Food was delicious.

Just had another fantastic meal at the guilford arms. Always a joy to eat here, particularly in their glorious garden. Tried the mid week special and it was incredible value. My 5 year old agreed with me that they do the best burger in town! Staff lovely as usual. Always such a pleasure to eat here. Was v.quiet in the garden. Not enough ppl know about the offers!

Excellent food,service and setting. Couldn't fault anything. The staff are lovely. Fish Mezze divine. Highly recommend a visit

Had a birthday lunch at The Guildford Arms and it was such a treat. Katie, who served us, was so warm and kind. The food was great value and really tasty. They were accommodating to my diet restrictions and just wonderful in general. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

The quality of the food is wonderful. Really well thought out flavour combinations executed brilliantly. We hadn’t been back for a while. Our loss.

The staffs are very friendly,approachable and accomodating. Food was excellent!

A must-visit gastropub. I definitely fell in-love with their Sunday roast. Everything from the appetisers to the main courses to the desserts and beverages is delicious, fresh and of good quality. You will also be properly taken care of, since all staff members wear an infectious smile and check on how things are going. Additionally, I've also observed how well they catered to each of their client’s request. Moreover, the atmosphere is also perfect for social gatherings with friends and loved ones. If you love drinking outdoor, their garden is magnificent in the summer. It is without a doubt one of the most amazing location I have ever visited.

Lovely evening at this pub in Greenwich. Booked a table online and the lovely staff called in advance to let us know that 2 Sunday rosst options had sold out. How nice is that? We needn't have worried there were still plenty of dishes available. Hubby had the lamb roast, I had nut roast both served with delicious roast veg and a Yorkshire pud. Our teenage son opted for a burger served with fries which he described as one of the best burgers he's eaten (texture was very good apparently). Location was pleasant, we opted for the outdoor seating area which was perfect on a sunny July evening. Service was excellent. I would happily return to eat and would recommend.

One of our favourite pubs in the area. Great garden and staff are always friendly. Really nice food too.

Great for a casual evening out ,especially in the spacious garden . All the staff are very friendly and service was great . Hope to eat there on our next visit .

Gorgeous pub, lovely staff, incredible food.

We had lovely, friendly service and good food in this stunning pub. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely building and garden and we enjoyed the food. Unfortunately our order was not properly put through and so we ended up waiting for 1 hour+ for our Sunday lunch before the error was discovered and we were finally served.

Lovely Sunday roast with great service!

A great place to eat!! Great food. Good value. V friendly staff

Sunday Lunch is the one to go for here - it was a lovely sunny day and the garden was full so would advise to book - the slow cooked lamb was delicious - staff lovely - we enjoyed it thank you.

We chose The Guildford Arms to host a family get together. From the moment of booking the date we received all the information we needed to choose a budget and meal that would suit all. We chose a sharing menu which was close to a home family meal. To start we had mezze with antipasti. Delicious Lamb Shanks, Belly Pork, aubergine parmigiana and a selection vegetables. Vegan chocolate torte and strawberry pavlova. The atmosphere was very relaxed as Alex and his waiting team served us. A memorable day we will be back

The perfect venue for a family gathering. Delicious food and excellent service. Great spaces both indoors and out. A good choice of menus for a group. Contact to discuss your requirements for your celebration and the Guildford Arms team do the rest.

Great birthday lunch & first class service - thanks very much John and team 😎👍

Food was really good😋.. I like the Service provided by Sophiya. She serve me drinks so perfectly and on time. Restaurant ambience was excellent. I recommend all to visit this restaurant.

26 of us had a fabulous evening celebrating my daughter’s birthday. food, service, space amazing. Highly recommend

Pub molto carino con tavoli all’aperto. Buone birre e cibo discreto. Sottofondo musicale piacevole. Stante le recensioni avevo aspettative un po’ più alte

Very nice pub with outdoor tables. Good beers and decent food. Pleasant musical background. Given the reviews I had slightly higher expectations

Pretty relaxed and pleasant place to eat and drink. Food isn’t cheap compared to a chain but remains good value because of quality. Atmosphere is good, not too busy, calm and classy

Very tasty food and lovely garden

The Sunday roast was nice, I could have made a more flavourful roast at home, but I do prefer my food well seasoned. My lamb was quite fatty, which is not my preference but it was very soft and tender. The roast potatoes did not taste fresh at all. They tasted like they had been cooked earlier and just kept warm. Very disappointing. Roast potatoes should always be fresh and crispy. The brownie dessert comes with cream but they were very accommodating and substituted ice-cream at no extra cost. The only thing I can pick at is the temperature, it would have been nicer if it was warmer - otherwise a very delicious desert. I enjoyed two margaritas, which were DELICIOUS - whoever made them.. Well done!

Sunday lunch - Tasty but lacking gravy. Delicious dessert not too sweet and well balanced. Good efficient yet patient service and food came quickly. Sat near the bar without much of a view

The drinks arrived before we’d finished ordering. We still don’t know how they did that! The service was simply stunning. The food was brilliant and the atmosphere was everything we wanted as friends out for a catch-up after some fifteen years! Alex deserves a mention. He was great. Read the table and impressed me so much that I fully intended to write this review. But as I was leaving I wanted to do more. I wanted to talk to the manager to make sure Alex got the praise. Turns out Alex is the manager. Lead by example. We can’t wait to come back.

Some patrons are well known, some not. Some visitors are well liked, others not. Either way, a delicious pint awaits thirsty guests, foamy and eager to be guzzled down

The Guildford Arms is a lovely corner pub. The upstairs is nicer than the basement, it had a different vibe. I was disappointed with our awkward table for two being on its own at the top of the stairs. My roast beef wasn’t great, it had a lot of very chewy sinew running through ever slice and the horseradish cream, was just cream - very unpleasant. The vegetables very very tasty, it’s a shame there was no cauliflower cheese. My husband loved his lamb and he ate nearly all his veg, luckily I got his cabbage. Our chocolate nemesis were delicious, I hate cream so being able to have ice cream was a big plus. Our pints of IPA were very good and the service was attentive and charming.

Every so often I try to pop in for a Sunday roast. If you are able to be served then you will find that the food is very good. This is the problem. The service/management is poor. Often even when there’s space either they’ve run out of Sunday roast or they will be apparently out of space (yet you can see the empty tables, and see on the screen when the tables will be filled). If you do get served then once you’ve finished the main you’ll usually struggle to get any service to order dessert or to pay, which is immensely frustrating. My advice is to book and if you’re booking last minute also call to check they’ve ordered enough for unplanned/walk ins. Also, expect that the service will be comically poor and it might grate a little less. Fortuitously there are various other pubs nearby that do good roasts so not all is lost if they’re unable to fit you in! I’ve now stopped trying to go here.

Excellent food, fantastic menu - much more interesting and varied that a normal pub menu. Love to come here, will be back again

It was our first time visiting and we will be back ! The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great . Really smart interior and friendly service .

Lovely time here with a friend. Service was great too.

Local pub with a garden, which is great for an afternoon in the summer. They carried out renovation last year and we haven't been since so this is based on past experience from before then. They offer dining and one thing they do is Sunday roast, which comes with Yorkshire pudding. Other food options are lamb, mezze, etc.

Cozy gastro pub, we found the food very good and innovative.

Attended for birthday lunch with family. Waitress who served us was rude and seemed to have bad/grumpy attitude which was pretty disappointing. Everyone else was lovely. I probably would take my family elsewhere next time sadly.

nice pub inside, just a bit overpriced on food, especially roasts which dont have a huge amount of meat yet are being priced as premium.

Gorgeous <3 expensive, but reasonable for London prices. Only 2 vegan/vegetarian options on the menu, the one we tried wasn’t very nice

Great option for food in Greenwich, gastro-pub doesn't quite do it justice, the food is excellent. The place was recently refurbished and there is a really nice garden at the back too for sunny days. It's a 5 minute walk from the station, definitely worth the detour.

Food was ok but I found it a bit pricey. Service was a bit slow. Its a nice cosy pub (if they sit you at the back)

I received the most amazing and friendliest service in my two weeks in Scotland from Ian during my lunch visit at the Guildford arms. Of course the atmosphere is a 20 out of 10 and absolutely breathtaking but also the food was absolutely delicious. I can’t tell if I enjoyed the fish and chips or the haggis more. This was my favorite dining experience of my trip. Thank you.

Went for Sunday lunch. All the roasts were excellent. Would definitely recommend . The staff were friendly and service good. We will certainly go back when in the area.

Delicious brunch on Saturday of scrambled eggs and salmon. Excellent service. Always enjoy our meals at The Guildford. Highly recommend it.

This was our first visit to the The Guildford Arms, on the occasion of my Mum's 90th birthday, and we were certainly not disappointed. Great pub, great decor, great food, great beers, great service. Everything was, really, just right and there is even a lift which helped my Mum get down to the loo. Now that is impressive! A really great afternoon, we will certainly look forward to visiting TGA again and would thoroughly recommend.

Delicious food in a lovely setting. Staff were excellent. Alex the new bar manager was particularly good at ensuring all customers were well looked after.

Amazing roast (gluten free and Vegan roasts too)! Incredible staff and atmosphere and really well priced!

Marvellous find. Great beer, great food and excellent service. Lovely interior made for a very relaxed and enjoyable lunch.

A lovely old pub which has been given a contemporary makeover. Short lunch menu with some classics such as the delicious honey glazed ham with perfectly fried eggs and crisp skin on chips. Home made spanakopita triangles were served with a vibrant Greek salad. Great puddings included a plum and apple crumble with a crème anglaise, an individual raspberry pavlova and an indulgent warm chocolate brownie with salted caramel and cream. Service is charming and included a lovely gesture of being able to taste the IPA’s before choosing. Attractive enclosed gardens at the back with patio heaters add to the charm. Definitely worth the walk away from the crowds to visit this wee gem.

Lovely friendly pub with great food, beer and staff. Well worth a short walk from centre with all same chain places. Great find.

Really lovely experience. We both had roasts, everything was cooked beautifully, with fresh quality produce and a short but excellently priced wine list. The cheese platter was utterly fabulous and huge! The staff were lovely, and really good with our dog. This will become a regular haunt for us

Had yet another fantastic meal here. They are now serving beef again. ! It's the most amazing beef. Staff here and food are amazing.

Very nice pub with super helpful staff

Went here for Sunday lunch after reading reviews on trip advisor. Definitely worth the walk from the dlr. Chicken dinner with lovely crusty crumb, roast potatoes and fresh juicy carrots. Didn’t have room for desert!

Lovely TARDIS of a pub, opens up downstairs into a large conservatory and really pleasant outdoor space. The food and drink I had was of high quality and fair price and the staff were very welcoming

We love the Guilldord Arms. The food is delicious, staff knowledgeable and outdoor space glorious on a summer day. Always fresh and interesting dishes. I've eaten here lots. Halibut dish was stand out. Burger also very tasty and much better than other similar pubs in the area/ blackheath. Excellent rosemary chips!! Puds also delicious..chocolate brownie and polenta cake too .More of a gastro pub than normal pub. One I treat myself to rather than bringing the kids. Great for friends, couples etc. Love it!

The team here were very accommodating with the fluctuating numbers of our large early supper booking. The food was lovely as always, a special shout-out to the homemade kimchi on various dishes. The staff were very attentive and the Winter Garden setting downstairs, with the retractable roof fully open, was perfect in the late afternoon sunshine. Thank you. This is a fantastic addition to the neighbourhood.

Waited on by youngsters who didn’t know about gluten free suggestions would be an adult who is trained in allergies? Paid well over £100 need more options and training used to be very good hardly anyone in the restaurant.

Great place - fab beer garden for summer days

Top class pub that we are lucky to be super close to, it's had a lovely facelift so is super nice and modern with a fantastic outdoor area. Sunday roasts were on point, kids chicken was particularly impressive. (minor gripe gravy could be thicker) staff all very young, polite and attentive. dogs and children friendly. On street Parking is expensive though so bare thta in mind.

We love coming here, the food’s always good, nice wines and beers. Beautiful gardens. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Sunday Roast, super tasty, the beef fillet was very tender and perfectly cooked. Environment is great and staff super friendly, much recommended

A great Greenwich pub on a quiet street. Lovely garden ( maybe best of all such in wider Greenwich/ Blackheath). The halibut fish was splendidly made. Tables, decor, ambiance- all stylish. And clean. Garden and food are the things to make me visit again.

We came early evening on a Monday. It was fairly empty. The waitress was probably new because she kept having to ask the manager a lot of questions we had, and forgot the cutlery etc. Most of the summer cocktails were not available. However, the cocktail we did manage to get in the end was delicious and the food was also high quality. We will come back and I’m sure the service will be better once staff have time to be trained a bit more :-)

Mediocre, overpriced food and slow service...

One waiter was excellent, another one was stroppy and rude. Food was good, they forgot to bring us the starter though with no apology offered. The ambience inside and in the garden is always superb!

Professional distancing,yet a very pleasant experience..very good staff and lovely food..3 of us had the meat feast..what a feast! Felt like a little bit of luxury..coming back soon..thankyou all at the Guildford Arms.

No sweet rosè wine, no pink gin 🤷‍♀️ Friendly service. Decent selection of ales. Probably won’t return.

Posto carino con una buona scelta nel menu, purtoppo come accade da parecchio in uk ..spezie cioe cioe cibo piccante ovunque .anche con l aggiunta di herbs..cmq molto forti in alcuni casi..e per che come me , non puo mangiare ne piccante ne parecchie di qs erbe aromatiche è davvero un problema..ho dovuto lasciare sul tavolo una zuppa perche piena di cumino e pepe..avevo chiesto , quando ho ordinato, che mn volevo ne spezie ne erbe..il secondo ottimo ma una porzione minima..5 gamberetti e un misero pezzo di pesce..ovviamente nn ho potuto mangiare il dolce perche intollerante al lattosio..sono uscita con la fame

My first experience with English bar was great

Fantastic food and excellent service. We had a selection of small plates / sides and every one was delicious and generously portioned. Good wine list too. Overall, great value.

Really superb quality food, & great drink selection. Utterly recommended

Absolutely delicious food, this pasta was actually a starter but was far bigger than I thought it would be. I tried all of the dishes on my table and they were great, however the chilli broccoli you can see in the photo was the only miss for me, I found it a bit too oily and not great flavour. The menu had a note of exactly which suppliers were used for different ingredients and they were all local which I thought was excellent. The staff were also super friendly and attentive

They do a good job here. Took a while to get the order in but the menu looks great. I had the burger to be really generic but it tasted brilliant. Starter was very disappointing though if beetroot and flatbread. Needs work that fish because the ingredients are fine. Cocktails were very well made. Clean place but more gastro pub than pub pub.

We love the food here, good service too and the garden is great for spring and summer time

Attended a leaving party! Great service, food and drink! Attentive, caring staff🙌🏽 Thank you for a great night out!

I booked a table for 14 people at The Guildford Arms for my partners mothers 50th birthday. The team were very helpful with all our requests over email. The food was amazing, as was the service. Everything came so quickly even though it was a Saturday evening, and we wasn’t rushed out at all. The team really went above and beyond with us and we will definitely be back soon!

Looks good inside but had the roast here and was not impressed. One person from our group had to wait ages for their dish, one chicken dish was undercooked and had to be redone, the children’s meals (£9.50) came without veg and this had to be requested. Can’t recommend and wouldn’t go back.

Really spot on Sunday lunch. Great food, good service, fantastic atmosphere. Portion sizes were good (some may say small, but it was nice to come out after a Sunday Roast and not feel like I've eaten way too much!) My only small criticism is that they only served soft drinks like Coke and Diet Coke in cans. (This is me being really fussy and picky!)

High prices but amazing food, so it was worth it! The stake was exactly how I ordered it and the wine was perfect. Would recommend.

Lovely gastropub with a small, but perfect menu. We had 3 courses and each one was delicious, beautifully presented and generous portions. And friendly staff. Definitely going back.

We had a roast dinner here. We had the beef and lamb which were amazing! The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly and the wine list was full of great options

Didn't eat there so can't judge, but it does look good. Service always nice and polite and beautiful interiors 🤗

This is a good space, especially in the summer as the garden is lovely, but dinner last night was really underwhelming. Chicken burger was not nice, burger and chicken breast were ok, brisket was good, The staff were pleasant but a bit clueless. Definitely not going to eat here again. Except for chips which were great.

Beautiful roast with lovely service

We were a large party which the friendly staff coped with very well. The food that we ate was well presented and tasty. Losing a star as there was only one veggie option due to items on the menu not actually being available.

Best Sunday roast in Greenwich.

Popped in for a tipple and bowl of chips with two dogs and my Ma earlier today and so pleased to have finally visited. I called ahead and they said politely they were unable to accept guests without a booking due to supplies, I asked if we could sit in the garden and perhaps have a bowl of chips. We were greeted warmly, offered all menus and the entire team were helpful, bubbly and welcoming. Can’t wait to visit again soon, highly recommended. Thank you for being a bright start to 2023!!

Amazing food. Great service and atmosphere. It's by far the best restaurant in Greenwich.

Food is lovely, if a little overpriced however the experience we had going with two small children was not pleasant. In fact it I have never been made to feel so unwelcome. The staff made it very clear that us having 3 yr old and a 6 month old was not suitable in this pub. They insisted on pushing the table so far against the wall that the baby in the highchair could grab the Christmas decs, then refusing to allow us to move the table over slightly- despite it not being in anyone’s way. One staff member really rudely told us to move out of the restaurant when they could see we were trying to get the baby in the pushchair to go into the pouring rain. When our three yr old spilt some water, a member of staff threw a bit of blue paper across the table at him. The whole meal felt hurried along, and we were then told that we had 20 mins left to leave the table. The fact it was my birthday and our Christmas get together with friends, so supposed to be a special meal was totally ruined. We used to come a lot- before children - totally different experience with children. Wish I’d said something when we were there, but the staff didn’t bother to do any food check-backs or even ask whether we’d had a nice time.

If the baby was screaming and toddler having a meltdown I’d sort of understand, but the fact that everyone was happy, on good form, eating, making no noise. Leaving, I honestly felt like we’d wasted £110 (two adults one toddler) plus the money our friends spent as the overall experience was so upsetting.

It was the most impressive roast dinner I’ve eaten out. Crispy roast potatoes large portion and a vegan option which wasn’t an after thought but as good as the main menu. Friends had the meat options and equally happy. Cleared plates. I was working locally which is how we ended up there. But we’ve booked a Sunday lunch and will drive the 45 minutes to go back it was that good. - I’ve honestly tried a lot of vegan roast dinners but this one was like the real thing 👍
