The Old Brewery in Greenwich

We popped in on Friday 16th May for a drink but then decided to eat in the restaurant. However, on going to the bar (7:00pm) to get a drink for myself and wife. One member of the staff was busy doing drinks, and another in the far corner of the bar, clearly ignoring the fact that I was at the bar, and when other customers came in made no attempt to acknowledge us. I politely asked him if he could serve me. His response was accusing me of being rude to him – I wasn’t, shouting at him – I wasn’t. He asked the manager to come round which didn’t happen. He then decided to serve the people who came in after me and refused to serve me, so we left. If the management team are happy to see £’s walk out of the door, then no issue – I am sure he will have his side of the story, but I would suggest you talk to the guy who was doing all the work or refer to your CCTV to see what happened. I phoned on Saturday to have this conversation with the Manager, but after several times of ringing with no answer, I have now decided to post this review. Will definitely NOT return.

We are regulars to this place, the location is beautiful the food is below average and the service is ver poor. We've been coming to this pub for the last 8 years almost every weekend. Almost every time there's a problem with the order, the food is either cold or under cooked, and when it finally arrives there's not enough cutlery or napkins for both of us. You're being asked if you need anything, and the waiter politely tells you, "No Problem" never to be seen again. In essence, stop for a drink, then look for something else. Don't waste your time and money here is pointless we've been trying for 8 years. They haven't changed!!

Only one cask beer. Fullers. Pint was flat, poorly presented and expensive. Won't visit again.

The plant burger and fries were excellent. But as the place makes a big thing about its connection to Young's brewery it was a shame to see only one Young's ale at the bar, which was off. The service was cool and disengaged.

Great venue, service was very friendly, and food was nice

People always so lovely in helping us find a nice table and accommodating

I didn't eat anything, I just looked and left.

One of the best places in London to go with the family !

Reservamos ya que estábamos visitando el Real Colegio Naval y alrededores. Los jardines se veían muy bonitos y atmosféricos (un día soleado y quizás un montón de lugareños), pero nuestra reserva nos tenía sentados dentro en la parte trasera. Era una habitación bastante estrecha con techos altos, sin ventanas con algunos de los tanques de infusión de cobre en la esquina, lo que no agregó mucho valor. Por lo tanto, la habitación se sentía bastante desalmada y carente de cualquier sentido de la historia (aunque había una cortina que cubría otra entrada al centro de visitantes). En un día de invierno, o por la noche, esta habitación puede ser más adecuada y posiblemente incluso sentirse acogedor. El personal era lo suficientemente amable, pero parecía haber una escasez de ellos, ya que tuvimos que levantarnos varias veces para hacer el pedido, hacer algunas otras solicitudes, etc. Todos los platos estaban bien y era difícil encontrar pescado en el pastel de pescado que también se sirve casi peligrosamente caliente. Si bien los precios parecían a la par con otros lugares similares, nuestra experiencia general nos hizo pensar que era un precio excesivo.

La comida era sabrosa y bien presentada, pero el servicio no era bueno. El personal tenía otras prioridades Menú de la tarde en el almuerzo. Ningún menú infantil cuando estaba con niños y todo tenía que pedirse más de una vez cuando los malabares con los niños ya era un desafío. Creo que pagamos por un plato que llegó pero que no nos habían pedido. Eso no fue comprobado por el personal cuando lo enviamos de vuelta Me sentí muy desagradable cuando vivimos a la vuelta de la esquina y visitamos con poca frecuencia pero regularmente Normalmente reviso solo para decir gracias, pero espero que podamos obtener un mejor servicio la próxima vez. Había una amigable mujer miembro del personal. Gracias.

Good restaurant to eat if you go to Greenwich with the boat from London, it is right when you leave the pier. Although when we went there were also street food places that didn't look bad.

This establishment offers an exceptional Thames-side dining experience, seamlessly blending traditional ambiance with superior cuisine. Its rich history and unparalleled culinary offerings guarantee an unforgettable experience, particularly on pleasant days.

Fish N Chips just became worse after i said they were the best months ago. Fish was unfresh, with a fishy odour, tatar sauce was flavourless, curry sauce was so watery, peas were so mushed and metallic in taste. There is also no discounts anymore. Standard has dropped opposed to 1-2months ago Not cheap as well, 19.50£ per without any discounts!!

Absolutely loved it! Friendly staff, great vegan options, and dog friendly :)

I don't know about the food but it's a nice place to hang out and have a beer.

Este es uno de nuestros pubs favoritos en Greenwich, pero nuestras últimas visitas han experimentado un servicio muy lento. Por lo general, me referiría a cuestiones de personal, pero ahora parece ser un problema a largo plazo. El domingo fuimos a comer temprano ( 12. 30 por lo que no durante el ajetreado servicio de almuerzo dominical) y fueron decepcionados tanto por la comida como por el servicio. El servicio, aunque muy educado y amable cuando llamabas la atención de alguien, era lento tanto para las bebidas como para la comida. Cuando llegó la comida, preguntamos si podíamos pedir más bebidas y nos dijeron que teníamos que pedir en el bar. ¡Luego pedimos sal y pimienta y nos señalaron la zona de la cabaña para recoger! Además, la comida no es necesariamente como se describe en el menú (calabacín en tarta en lugar de remolacha dorada - ¡No me gusta el calabacín! ) que no es un problema desde que se le dice. El especial de escalera de Jacobs era encantador, pero de nuevo se perdió el swee aplastado que se indica en el menú. Nota alta era un Bloody Mary tan bueno que tuve 2 sin embargo no nos quedamos tanto tiempo como quizás lo haríamos normalmente como todo estaba tomando y la edad, así que seguimos adelante. Creo que es necesario abordar la contratación y retención de personal para encontrar una solución a largo plazo, ya que parece ser un tema recurrente.

Location is top notch and setting inside and out was nice but the food was TERRIBLE. Sausages were so over cooked they cracked like a piece of wood, fish from fish and chips tasted off and the mushy peas were dried and crusted over, and truffle mac and cheese came out warm so was solid rather than hot and creamy. We were hungry but sent it back as it was inedible

My husband brought me here for NYE and we had a lovely night. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food was delicious, the venue is beautiful, and the entertainment was lots of fun. I decided it would be the perfect venue for my husband's 60th birthday. I contacted them and the manager Tommy was so helpful from the start. Helping woth food choices, allergy considerations, drinks, and planning the whole surprise for my husband. The night was perfect, with delicious food, great staff and a great atmosphere. Thank you so much, Tommy and Raph and the team. Jane Higgins

Great venue, lovely courtyard seating. A varied menu & food very enjoyable. Prompt service, good value for money, would highly recommend.

We recently booked the Old Brewery for a special event for our organisation and the whole planning process ran smoothly from start to finish. The management team and all the staff were very friendly and the menu options very well received by our guests. They also loved the interior design and layout of the venue too. I would highly recommend Tommy and his team to anyone looking for a creatively quirky (in design and culinary choice) venue for a business, family or personal occasion! David T

Lack of any soft furnishings made for loud background noise but atmosphere was pleasant. Portions generous.

Had a lovely fish and Chips... Hubby had Burger...(which he said was best burger he'd had for a long time!!)... Were a bit late getting for our booked table (Clipper was running late!!)...but it wasn't a problem. Staff were very good. Would definitely recommend and go again if in that area....

Charley welcomed us and made sure you were served well. Very caring young lady. Excellent service! A delicious meal. Generous portions. Overall Charley made sure you had a wonderful experience

Nice outdoor patio. Have been before but this time was disappointed that a few beer taps for not available. Order at the bar and food is brought to table. Good selection on menu. Friendly staff.

Pleasant waiter and very tasty food!

Thank you, Charley, for your exceptionally warm service and your super smiley face.

The Old Brewery in Greenwich is a gem—great location, top-notch beer, and a cozy vibe. Well worth a visit.

We dropped in for a little late morning refreshment, coffee for my wife and excellent real ale for myself. The staff were friendly and helpful, with quick efficient service. Well worth the visit.

Nice setting. Proper food options (Sunday roast for us this time).

A gin tasting and information session. Opportunity to taste and learn about 5 gins and also to enjoy a large Greenwich gin and tonic. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, distillery of the gin. The evening was very enjoyable and I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who.enjoys gin. We took advantage of.the discount to buy.a couple.of bottles.of the delicious gin too.

Really tasty *fresh* fish and chips! Great selection of ales, atmosphere was awesome especially outdoors. Concerns on service: The app you scan from the tables doesn't let you verify with North American phone numbers (!) So this limits your ability to seat where you want (ef thr large and lovely outdoor area). If you don't know that you have to go inside to the bar to place an order you will sit for some time "waiting" for someone to come who most likely won't. Once I negotiated this the service I got was prompt and polite. That's really my only negative about tbr experience. 4/5 and easily 5/5 with some better management of tourists.

Bastante poco impresionado en comparación con otros pubs del grupo y la zona. La comida no era genial. Estaba un poco mal condimentado y las porciones no eran geniales. El servicio era abrumador. Una camarera vino a tomar nuestro pedido y dijimos que necesitábamos 5 minutos, pero luego no volvieron durante 30 minutos. Nos sentamos con nuestros platos terminados durante otros 30 minutos. Pedimos la factura dos veces, pero esperamos otros 45 minutos para pagar. Y realmente ni siquiera estaba tan ocupado.

Food took a long time to arrive, potatoes were undercooked and my 8 year old's food was ordered but not made so she had to wait another 30 minutes for hers and by this time other people on the table had finished their food and i waited until hers arrived so ate mine cold.

We ordered two roasts, the staff brought one and forgot about the other one. After we asked about the other roast, it took them another 15 minutes to bring the other roast, that time without the Yorkshire pudding or roasted carrots cause they ran out. As we later found out - they also mixed up the order and brought beef instead of lamb for the first roast. The food itself was quite bland, nothing special for 22£ for a roast.

Food was great, we had 3 items and the sea bass was the highlight. I had a cider which was good. The atmosphere is great, we had diner inside where they brew (at least it looked like it). I removed one star because service was not good (no one came to take our order until I actually went to see someone) and slow.

We had a lovely meal today. Beef burgers were delicious and tasty. We decided on puddings (and we didn't regret) : apple and rhubarb crumble and sticky toffee pudding were amazing. Superb service from the waitress that serves us today. Thank you very much.

We enjoyed a delicious roast on Sunday - a decent serving with a good variety of veg as well. The service by Stephanie was great too!

Excellent Service and quality food. The waitress/person who served us worked especially hard.

We went to old brewery for Sunday lunch yesterday it was amazing the food was excellent the staff so friendly and looked after us. It was busy everyone seems to go here it was a lovely sunny day so the outside was packed out this place is a must to visit you won’t be disappointed. We had the Sunday roast and a fish and chips all absolutely amazing oh and the sticky toffee pudding too was amazing. Thank you

Great roast..great service. A very enjoyable place and experience.

Overall slightly disappointing. Clearly completely under staffed, those on duty trying their best but clearly struggling. Had to find our own menus as none supplied, dessert menus never arrived so we left without having them. Meal was twice interrupted by glasses being dropped by staff passing our table so we had to vacate to allow for clean up.

Stephanie was great, really attentive, made sure we were happy, had a great time and would come again! Lovely cocktails as well, bar staff all excellent!

It's a nice pub with a nice atmosphere. It's pet friendly for those who wish to bring their dogs along with them. The staff were friendly and patient, and the food was ok. Not the cheapest place to go, but it's like most pubs/restaurants in London where you'd be hard pushed to find reasonable prices, especially when they're located by a tourist spot.

We took a chance on popping in for lunch whilst exploring the Naval college area; the lunch menu was excellent- good portion sizes and delicious, particularly the battered sausage and fish goujon sandwich. Great venue inside or out and the service from Stephanie was friendly, attentive and prompt. Can highly recommend!

It was very quiet on the night we visited, but the service and food was nothing short of excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

The Old Brewery is a gem of a place to meet friends in Greenwich. Airy, spacious, away from the crowds of the area. Food and service terrific.

Realmente gran almuerzo de domingo! Restaurante luminoso y espacioso, en un edificio interesante, excelente servicio de Stephanie y deliciosa comida. Lo recomendaría!

Food was good, we ordered a starter which never arrived so we just removed it from the bill. Asked for tap water but that also didn't come so had to ask again. We needed a high chair but unfortunately they only had a toddler one, nothing for under 1 with a tray so we couldn't use it. It was OK but I wouldn't come back again

Fabulous...so good that we went twice whilst on a 4 day break in Greenwich. Delicious wholesome food, excellent service and friendly and attentive staff. Thank you.

Horrible experiencia de domingo asado. No volvería, y no recomendaría, el personal es arrogante y asado parece hecho en el microondas.

Had the Sunday roast, which was good and very filling.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and great place to catch up friends and family - love the IPA

Lovely pub, we sat outside under the heaters it was lovely xx

We visited as a last-minute choice. £3 entrance fee to look around, no rush, you can take us much time. You can also buy a yearly pass to visit The Old Royal Naval College, they often have different exhibitions throughout the year. The painted room is amazing, we actually came to see the Mars Installation. We visited during the week around 12pm. It was nice and quiet.

Most of the staff are friendly, food are nice, atmosphere is also nice especially in summer time. Came here and grab some beer or food. Also they have heaters around the tables at outside. It’s nice in winter.

Excellent. Asked for a quiet table to accommodate an elderly family member. I am very grateful that the staff member I spoke to was able to help with the request. As a result the group has a lovely experience. Excellent food and service. A big thank you to the staff involved. We will definitely return.

Beautifully cooked minute steaks with fries hit the spot for a quick lunch. Paired with a nice NZ red wine. Frankie, our server, was very accommodating. TY.

Booked for Sunday Lunch, had been here before so expectation had been high. Shown to a table near to the kitchen did not realise there was a side door from the garden nearby, so every time it was opened- a very cold draft was felt. Roast choice was pork,beef or chicken. Did not fancy any of the starters, so went for a main course, chicken for my wife and I and my son had the beef.On the booking I had explained my wife has allergies, Gluten and dairy, I do not know why I bothered as the staff where unaware. Food and drink ordered, arrived fairy quickly- but it was not very good, first it was swimming in what they probably claim as gravy- which had a broth like consistency, some greens, a couple of whole carrotts, then a mix of chopped carrott (why?) and not sure if it was swede or parsnips? (clearly frozen) the pieces were so small you needed a spoon to eat them. Roasts were soft, the Yorkshire pudding ok. Service was non existent, no one came near to us until the plates needed clearing- and they add a service charge for that as well. One other point to note they allow dogs, and there were a lot.I will not be returning.

The outdoor table atmosphere and fish and chips here are fantastic. It's really delicious, so be sure to try it. Who said British food isn’t delicious? ㅠㅠ I also ordered camembert cheese as a side dish, but it was very salty so I couldn't eat much of it. But it was a good side dish. Fish and chips are the best ♥️ 💵Total: 53.85 GBP (w/ No Tip)

Returning for lunch on a Sunday I raised my score! A delicious fish and chips and pork belly. Top interior decor and super friendly service. A feast for the eyes and taste buds

Great location, fabulous food and attentive, amazing service from Alex - thank you so much 😊

Thank you to Alex !! That was amazing !

Very comforting food on a cold day. Service from Tony was excellent.

Great service. Very relaxed. Great location. Wish we had ordered the. Double Sunday lunch!

Lovely pub near the Greenwich museums area. Our server, Alex was friendly, efficient and ensured our requirements were catered for.

Lovely place 😍 and tash was the best. Lovely vibes and lovely people

Brilliant little find, amazing food, fantastic service and incredible atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to come back

Excellent service, I was amazed by the good taste of the food, the customer service and the beauty of this place

The perfect place we were looking for at lunchtime and right off the pier as well. The menu was varied enough for everyone’s needs and the food was quite tasty. My companions opted for a traditional fish and chips that looked perfectly cooked and not overly greasy. It was served with good sauces and a tiny bit of mushy peas to complete the experience. I chose the special, which was a beef fillet pie (of the shepherd’s variety with mash on top rather than crust beneath). It was excellently seasoned and absolutely delicious. The dessert options were also well rounded. I had a spongy Christmas pudding that substituted a bourbon butter ice cream for the alcohol soaking of the pudding. Also quite good. Two of us opted to have the cask ale on menu. It was perfect: smooth and easy to drink with good flavor and not too high an alcohol content for lunch. The service was also spot on. The friendly and helpful Frankie was also clever and good-spirited enough to roll right along with our cheek and punchiness. The food arrived quite quickly as well. If I had to pick one complaint—and I don’t—it would be that the pipe-based tables don’t allow much legroom for four. But I’m picking nits there. The place was wonderful.

Came in Sunday evening for some dinner, it was quite busy but the service was still very quick, there was good music on in the background as well! Frankie A looked after us and she was very nice also, all the staff seemed very friendly and helpful!

Our first time at Old Brewery. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Food was good but not exceptional. We will come again to try other dishes.

Came in for a Roast Sunday evening, the portions were very generous and very tasty! Our waitress was Frankie A and she was awesome too.

I booked the Restaurant in advance for a party of 30 People who were attending my brothers wedding the following day. The service I received from.the original booking, to the service on the actual night was Outstanding. The food was exceptionall and the pre-order of the meals in advance meant everything ran smoothly with everyone loving their meal. Evelyn and her Team.go up and beyond to make your experience of The Old Brewery a memorable one. We will definitely return next time we are in Greenwich! Thank you The Old Brewery Team!

A wonderful hidden gem. Amazing building and surroundings. Great staff and wonderful food. Loved this place will be back!

Came here for Christmas lunch on Christmas Day. Was lucky enough to find booking availability just 2 weeks before, almost by chance. But I'm glad it happened because the food was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and generous portions. Plus, the staff were incredibly nice and attentive, especially Stephanie, who tended to our table. Interior and atmosphere great too, we you'd expectel from an Old Brewery.

Had a lovely Christmas dinner here with my husband. The staff were incredible, especially our server Lila! Would recommend coming here for a lovely meal!

Had a lovely Christmas lunch and Stephanie served us with great attention.

Very nice experience! we ate very well, fish and chips at the top very successful vegetarian dish, the beef and pork dishes were very well served with small vegetables The Christmas pudding was very good. I recommend this restaurant where the decor is super nice!

Came in for dinner Saturday night, I had the roast turkey which was very nice! Shoutout to our waitress, Frankie A, who looked after us very well! She knew a lot about the history of the building and answered all questions we had about that and the menu, and also gave great food and drink recommendations to the whole group!

Held a party for 50 people. The staff were amazing and took such good care of us, the venue looked great, and all of the guests were raving about the food. Love this place!

Keen to find a central spot for us all to have a family reunion in the run up to Christmas with us all coming from all over the country, it was recommended to me…..and it certainly didn’t disappoint! Considering it was Saturday in December and it was so super busy, the staff were so welcoming, attentive and couldn’t do enough for us! Frankie and all the gang were exceptional! They got to know me through the advance booking process so by the time we arrived it was like we were old friends (ha ha) and we had a few different requests as I’m sure you can imagine as a party of 14, but all responses to email were timely and helpful and all our needs were catered for! Even on the day we added dishes in and it wasn’t an issue or any trouble at all. The food was excellent as were the drinks! The afternoon overall was wonderful and to be together as a family before Christmas in such a lovely environment was a memory to be treasured! We will definitely be back! Thank you Old Brewery X

Beautiful pub, good service. Food and drinks are decent. I recommend it!

Loved the service and ambience.

Such a lovely pub! Enjoyed the food and service. Stephanie was wonderful, thank you!

Amazing fish and chips!! Love this pub. Stephanie was lovely

We had yesterday a luch in this amazing place. From the atmosphere to the welcoming of the staff, everything was simply perfect. We had a very tasting King crown turkey with triple cooked fries and chocolates brownie. I highly suggest if you want to have a great lunch in a very nice place. The high ceilings allows you to enjoy the time there with no so much noise. Perfect for children.

Waited ages for food and didn’t feel like there was much thought to the roast a bit rubbish tbh! Service was good and they were. Apologetic about the wait. The decor inside is amazing though and really great location

Lovely lunch enjoyed with a couple of glasses of pink rose. Food was generous and delicious. Service was warm and friendly. Would recommend for all. .

Great service from the start, menu choices are excellent like good pub food but extra choices including new things to try eg tongue & cheese croquettes. All courses arrived in good time, hot and big portions. Friend from California was hugely impressed with everything, especially the Japanese (?) waiter guy who gave exceptional service. Looks great venue for summer outdoor eating but was everything we needed on a wet Sunday!

Sunday roast is amazing and really good price ! We loved this place :)

Hidden gem near the park. Went here for Sunday roast and the beef was DELICIOUS! my friend who’s veg also enjoyed his veg roast too . Dog friendly and the atmosphere was great. 2pm on Sunday wasn’t too busy

Great food, reasonably priced, speedy service from friendly staff. Always a 'must go to' for Sunday lunch when I'm visiting Greenwich.

Absolutely amazing perfect atmosphere fantastic service and amazing wonderful proper home cooked meals!

Very positive experience! The Sunday roast was delicious, tender and succulent. We also got desserts and they are fantastic! The creme brûlée is highly recommended. Thanks Stephanie!

Lovely place, best staff, nice food. Great place to go in Greenwich.

Always a delight to come back to this pub! Cordial thanks to the team and especially to Alex!

My fish and chips were absolutely fantastic! Our server Stephanie was very friendly and attentive. When we questioned her about the brewery equipment that is in the building. She told us all about how it had been an active brewery. What a lovely venue, with great food and lovely service. I would certainly come back here and would recommend it to friends

Delicious roast dinner / lunch with attention paid to our request of "extra crispy chicken please". Cool interior and one of our local favourites.

Very busy but enjoyed the experience

Great Sunday din dins, no sticky toffee pud though absolutely heartbroken. Frankie A was our server and she’s a gem. 10/10 vibes.
