The Oystercatcher in Greenwich

Absolutely fantastic service and food!

Terrible oysters not prepared properly. 3 different staff for 1 table. Soft crab gone off. There’s more but I can’t even be asked. Never again. Bunch of students I. Pub like environment. A disgrace honestly. Orders came out wrong. Chef punching his palm of hand before correcting outside of kitchen door. Which we blatantly saw. Dirty glass given. Oysters not prepared. Bits of shell inside and gone off crab. It was awful

Great food, drinks and service I will be back next weekend!

I came in for brunch with the girls and everything was immaculate. The food, service and atmosphere. A special shout out to the young black lady in the blouse she was so accommodating to my fussy eating. I would highly recommend !

Cafe quality food at posh restaurant prices. Fairly flavour lacking. Dried up burger

Cute spot on the water. The oysters were really good!

Great place for dinner and drinks with friends! The views are spectacular and so is the service, you have to try the oysters!

Certainly! Here’s a thoughtful review for the Oystercatcher restaurant: --- **A Memorable Silver Jubilee Celebration at Oystercatcher** We recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Oystercatcher with close friends, and it was truly an unforgettable evening. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine politeness made our special occasion even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was prepared to perfection, with wonderful flavors that impressed everyone at the table. The attention to detail in both the presentation and taste was remarkable. Thank you to the entire team at Oystercatcher for helping make our Silver Jubilee celebration so memorable. We look forward to dining here again soon!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I wanted to share my experience. Bron and arron made me feel very comfortable, even though I’m not usually very social. She was welcoming to both me and my friends and helped me choose a drink when I wasn’t sure what to get, which really improved the night. Thanks to Bron and aaron for making it such an enjoyable experience—I'll definitely be back next weekend."

This place not only looks and feels good but serves good food and makes you feel good about being there. The Short-rib burger is amazing, and the cocktail I had named "Jungle Bird" was quite tasty. Thank you Michael for being polite and patient, and serving with a smile!

A really nice restaurant overlooking the Thames and Canary Wharf. Very efficient service, tasty food, and a nice relaxing atmosphere. I will happily visit again!

The people working there are exquisite! Always super polite, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very relaxed, good wine, beer and food choices.

Very average place - the food in particular is poor - we spent an exorbitant amount for a charcuterie board that literally had sliced white bread on it (not an exaggeration). Only thing going for it is it’s on the Thames. Okay selection of beers and drinks. Suggest putting your hard earned cash elsewhere in Greenwich.

The worst cocktails in town! Easy to serve the beers, but the cocktails are disgusting!

Great river front restaurant. The staff were lovely and the food was good.

Came in for the bottomless brunch. Phenomenal views with the best service from Bronwyn - so bubbly and attentive throughout!!!

Es una gran vista, pero la comida era promedio. Disfruté mi cóctel bajo en alcohol. Pero el menú no fue muy inspirador. El pescado y las patatas fritas eran de malla.

Went yesterday for their bottomless brunch. Best value brunch I’ve been to in ages - amazing views of the river, great food and banging garage tunes for £45pp for 3 courses inc. service. Bottomless lasted 2 hours and staff were lovely and attentive. Will definitely be back for another themed brunch!

Gorgeous riverside location perfect for catching the sunset. Decent beers on tap

Great night watching the Euro final tonight. Special thanks to the staff and Andy for such efficient and friendly service :)

£8 for two small pieces of chicken. Good view though

The place is amazing, you can have some really nice sunsets. We celebrated my friends black tie graduation and it was smooth. The staff was amazing. The burger on the other hand, hmmm, not as I expected but I guess other people would appreciate it.

Nuestra experiencia en este restaurante fue bastante decepcionante. Después de hacer nuestro pedido de bebidas y comida, nos informaron 10 minutos después de que nuestra mesa había sido reservada para otra persona. No se hizo ningún esfuerzo para encontrarnos otra mesa, lo que mostró una falta de dedicación al servicio al cliente. Tuve que cambiar mi orden de bebidas porque no podían hacer la que quería inicialmente. Además, usan unidades extrañas para sus bebidas, como barriles en lugar de pintas o litros. Pedimos papas fritas junto con nuestras bebidas, pero cuando llegaron las bebidas, las papas fritas faltaban. A pesar de mostrar nuestro recibo, el servidor insistió en ver un recibo de correo electrónico que nunca recibí. Finalmente, trajo las papas fritas pero actuó como si nos estuviera haciendo un favor. La gota que colmó el vaso fue cuando se sirvió nuestra última bebida. La camarera se sumergió en una de nuestras bebidas, y ni siquiera se disculpó ni intentó rectificar la situación. En general, pagamos una cantidad sustancial por un servicio deficiente. Fue una experiencia realmente frustrante.

Go to this pub regularly. Today we were told we had to have a reservation. The manager appeared and agreed that we could have a beer. I asked why we needed a reservation when the pub and its outside terrace was more or less empty. He said it was because it is Fathers’ Day and if we weren’t happy we could leave so we did. I doubt we’ll go back. Went next door to the Sail Loft instead and we are now sitting right by the river having a beer.

Great food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff and a great location overlooking the Thames. Best to book in advance to reserve a table as this place can get fully booked and quickly. The food is highly recommended by all and the views are stunning expecially with the occasional cruise ship moored nearby. A must come to place.

One of my favourite veggie roasts and its lovely to sit out by the river when it's sunny. Their spicy margaritas are also good.

I don’t know what you’re paying Ren, Bron and Lorina but it’s nowhere near enough. Utmost professionalism and bringing the best vibes. Thanks so much!

Lovely pub! Especially on a nice evening with views over Canary Wharf.

Had the best time at their new 90’s bottomless brunch! The drinks were flowing, the tunes were banging and the food was DELICIOUS! The view was incredible and it was such a lovely space to enjoy our Saturday afternoon. The staff were incredible - best service I’ve had in a very long time! They weren’t there just to serve you but to make sure you had an incredible time too! Honestly the best I’ve been too in such a long time.

Excellent roast dinner at a very decent price with good views! Also the blonde waitress working upstairs with the black jumpsuit on (sorry I don’t remember her name!) was an excellent server and really made our visit amazing. She’s an asset!

Visitó Oystercatcher para una cena de asado aprox. 4 . 30 pm el domingo por la tarde. Ambos miembros de mi grupo pidieron cenar pollo asado. En general una experiencia decepcionante y no recomendaría este restaurante en absoluto! La comida fue servida tibia. Es cierto que sabía bien, pero claramente se había preparado y luego se había dejado en una placa caliente (no extremadamente) durante quién sabe cuánto tiempo, ya que se nos sirvió a solo 7 minutos de pedir. El pollo estaba frío y las papas asadas eran duras como rocas, pero recubiertas de salsa para hacerlas más suaves. También en el menú, indica que obtendrá chipolatas de cerdo (plural) con la comida, sin embargo, solo tuvimos una cada uno. ¡Es engañoso y barato anunciar que habrá múltiples chipolatas acompañando la comida cuando en realidad solo se le da una! Debo mencionar que estábamos sentados afuera, pero incluso si esperabas que la comida se enfriara más rápido de estar afuera, era tibia cuando llegó a la mesa antes de que cualquier brisa externa hubiera estado en ella. El 12. 5% de servicio es en realidad una broma... la camarera puso los platos en la mesa y luego tuvimos que esperar mientras nuestra comida se enfriaba aún más cuando luego fue a buscarnos cubiertos. Este fugaz encuentro costó £ 5 + reclamando ser asignado para “servicio” Tuve que entrar al bar a pedir y ningún personal regresó para preguntar si todo estaba bien durante la comida. No estoy seguro de qué excelente servicio estaba pagando, pero el cargo obligatorio es solo una simple mejilla al dejar caer los platos a la mesa es el mínimo en servicio que se debe esperar! Obviamente, el cargo por servicio se cobra realmente porque está pagando por la (buena) vista del río, pero no se debe sugerir que está pagando por el servicio que es promedio en el mejor de los casos. En general el 100% no recomienda una visita aquí para una cena asada a pesar de la gran ubicación. No volverá a pagar costos sobrevalorados por una cena fría y un mal servicio.

Great food, lovely waiting staff, nice view - they deserve to be busier!

Que velada de aniversario tan encantadora , no puede faltar el servicio Micheal fue sobresaliente, y nos aconsejó sobre las opciones de menú y comida y vino , comida encantadora y ubicación , que siempre ha estado cerca de nuestros corazones , volveremos de nuevo , gracias x

Amazing view of the Thames. Good food. Our waitress was the best ever.

such a great place to have a relaxing drink and lovely food. my servers bron and tabby were so sweet and helpful. will definitely be coming back - for the view too!

Not impressed. A few dishes unavailable on the menu. Quite expensive for the low quality and ordinary dishes. £22.50 for 6 oysters when I could get Jersey Royals for £1 each at Borough Market. So expecting to pay no more than £2 each. I ordered short rib burger instead got a remarkably dry mince beef patty much smaller than the burger bun. Fish and Chip were actually not too bad, although my friend said she found the chips quite dry and very starchy. Poor waitress has little knowledge over dishes or any training for that matter. Maybe poor experience due to a Bank Holiday. Maybe it is seen as a tourist destination because it is by the river the prices may reflect this. I don’t mind paying over the odds but I would like to see the price reflects the quality of the dishes.

OC: Welcome neighbours, come and enjoy 20% if you live nearby! Me: hi, I live nearby, can I have a discount card? OC: We don’t do that anymore. That was very long lived. Why have an overpriced beer here when I can just have the same drink at home.

Dear Tom, I too was told resident discounts were suspended. Perhaps you could update your bar staff that customers only need show proof of address to receive the discount. Thanks

I had my 21st birthday and my mother's 50th birthday party here. We completely fell in love with the venue due to its interior and the stunning view of the Thames. So we decided hire the whole venue. Everything was fantastic. From the two course meal to the cocktails, everything was so delicious. The staff are so attentive and thoughtful, they truly made the evening a success. Couldn't recommend enough. We have since been back for lunches and drinks! Thank you Oystercatcher!

Great chicken and gym advice to check around town

Food great, location great, servers good... meant to be a bottomless brunch, they got funny with the pouring saying everyone's glass had to be empty before anyone got topped up! Would not go for the brunch again but food maybe. Hi Tom ** sorry but you are are just using safe drinking rules as an excuse for limiting the bottomless brunch and saving costs. You would not open a bottle until the whole tables glasses were empty... that is not bottless to each person paying the same amount! Others drink at different paces.

Slopey shoulders staff who make you feel like you're an inconvenience. We visited on a late Saturday afternoon, place was quiet. The basic fundamentals of customer service not present. Not even a smile. Disastrous decision to go there. Food okay, but disappointing menu for what seems like a fish restaurant. Never again. :(

Came yesterday for Easter Sunday. Was very quiet. We ordered starters which were delicious, particularly the oysters. We had to ask if we could have the heating on as it was a bit nippy which the manager did straight away. All us adults went for the roast lamb which wasn’t very warm but overall was very tasty. The kids had the cheese burger and fries which they really enjoyed. Upstairs was unfortunately closed as it is absolutely stunning up there and a little more secluded. Will definitely return and hopefully get to sit upstairs next time. Staff were all very friendly and attentive.

Just a few minutes walk along the river from the bustling middle of Greenwich, set among a modern area with restaurants & cafes. Friendly staff and lots of outdoor seating & tables, a great spot for a quiet beer while enjoying the commercial barges & tourist boats. Great views along the river views of the Canary Wharf precinct and views down the Thames to the city skyline including the Gherkin & the Shard.

The view is great, atmosphere is ok but the food was one of the worst I ever experienced, didn't want to complain as I went for a christening but my pork crackling was so hard on every side that my fork and knife didn't go through it 🤦🏻luckily the view was there to save the day

Nous avons dîné avec un groupe de jeune d un fich and chips et c était très bon en particulier une vraie sauce tartare. Je tiens à saluer l efficacité et le dynamisme des serveuses

This was shame us the location is a excellent place to spend Morhers Day but the food was poor to say the least the staff did their best but the food let them down badly the prawn cocktail starter was very bland and the Mains were luke warm at best plus we were left waiting for 2 dinners which were so late the rest of us had finished before we got these and when i asked where the 2 dinners were the waitress came back with 2 Guinness's !! , we were given 50% off of the food but this did not make up for the disappointing Mothers Day 😒

Was bitterly disappointed with this place, I wouldn’t usually post a negative comment about a business but this place needs a shakeup if it wants people to return .Being it was Mother’s Day, they were unprepared for a day they should have been prepared for, it felt like it took a lifetime for the staff to come over to our table, the starters were ropey at best ( not just mine) the veg that came with the lukewarm roast was bordering cold, two of our party’s food hadn’t came by the time the rest of us had already eaten, the drink glasses were dirty & the men’s toilets were in a bad way with a broken toilet seat & graffiti on the wall. Although the staff were apologetic & offered us a discount, this place is one to avoid, the only good thing was the view.

Delicious food, very friendly and attentive service, great views of the river. Not rushed.

The food was uninspiring. Dry potatoes , unseasoned veg, soggy crackling and cardboard Yorkshire puddings! The chef was also very rude. Being by the river was beautiful. The waitress and the manager were fabulous!

Ben our server absolutely made our evening he was efficient polite and thanks to him we will go back thanks Ben

This was my first visit to the Oyster Catcher. We were visiting friends and wanted to go for Sunday Lunch. They recommended to try here.It didn't disappoint!! No word of a lie, it was one of the best Sunday Dinners I have ever eaten, and I class myself as a bit of a snob when it comes to these. The view is amazing, over looking Canary Wharf, the atmosphere was nice and the service excellent. A special thanks to Zak, who went above and beyond.

Restaurant in front of the river with good views. Good food, the portions a little fair. They didn't warn us that the kitchen closed at 9pm and we couldn't order dessert.

Went a while ago for Sunday roast, and their was 4 of us. But unfortunately, 2 of our plates came back with completely raw/ uncooked, bloody chicken. Sent it back and it took a long time to get it recooked, so we all ate at different times. Service was slow. When they recooked our second plates, it was yummy, but still disappointed overall.

I visited today for a solo dinner at 3pm. I had a lovely table upstairs and the view was nice. Greeted by friendly welcoming staff members, order was taken promptly but not rushed. The wait for food was around half an hour or maybe slightly longer which I think is very reasonable. The halibut was amazing. Monkfish scampi was nice. The loaded fries were lovely too. My only complaints were that I felt that I could've been asked if i wanted anything else and if everything was okay without me asking and it would have been nice if the temperature was warmer inside.

Oystercatcher wad actually a very different experience' we had a poor day prior to coming here, we met all the staff and they were all lovely. The food was absolutely fantastic, credit to the chefs, the polish chef just came from holiday and did his best to accomdate our needs. The drinks was all amazing and the service was perfect. Shutout to the staff( Bronwyn and Aaron- very friendly ) I recommend coming here- great experience!!!

Came here for a private Engagement party. What a beautiful place, excellent staff, warm and inviting atmosphere.

Staff are lovely, quality of ingredients are great but the inconsistency of the cooking is unfortunate. Food can be excellent or like my last visit overcooked and bland. The spot is great and if they got back to where they were before covid I'd be here every week.

Attended this venue for a Family Event. It was a great experience. Food & Service was good View was lovely Will definitely visit again 😊

Upmarket bar / function room, 2 min walk from cutty sark, by the river bank. Went to function room. Buffet snacks served with large selection ranging from crab to prawns to caviar. Food was good, service was good and atmoshere good. Location is excellent with river views

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Hannah was excellent at looking after us and definitely have a cheeky bloody mary, gorgeous. Will definitely return, if they let us lol.

Fantastic place with great food. Nice surroundings and great service from Hannah. Sunday lunch was flavoursome with a nice portion. Will definitely return.

Had a baby shower here at the weekend. Great ambience and location, overlooking the Thames

Lovely pub to visit when walking round Greenwich. Dog friendly, we always sit outside and watch the world go by. Lovely view of the river Thames, they also have heaters outside for the colder weather.

Food was inedible, aubergine Kiev was tasteless and the aubergine was not tender so couldn’t eaten easily. No flavour added to the vegetable or salad, hummus was also tasteless and had a funny texture. Service was great though.

Thank you to Bron and the other people working today for our lovely service and lovely Sunday meal.

We had Sunday roast here before the new year. It was awful. The potatoes were rock hard, probably from the day before. The pork belly was also not tender and below average. Although it mentioned apple sauce on the menu, it wasn't served, I had to ask for it and they brought the smallest bowl of apple sauce from a jar, shocking! A small amount of greens was hidden under the meat. Overall a very poor quality roast dinner. Never again. Service was polite and they deleted the cost of the cauliflower cheese from the bill after we complained, as a gesture of good will but the dinner spoiled our evening, so disappointing.

We went there for Saturday brunch. It was quiet. We were disappointed with the brunch menu. It has a very limited selection. We could only see one main course that can be gluten free. It is good that they have a separate fryer for chips to avoid contamination and the chips were the best. One star off as both the table and chairs are dirty with cups marks on them. The whole place looks a bit tired and not so clean. It was not warm so I was having my food with a jacket the whole time.

Doesn’t serve oysters you want to eat

Great place to have a meal or an event. I enjoyed a lot the place, food and service. Staff superfriendly and always checking if everything was perfect. I recommend 5***** place

Been here many times. The salt and pepper squid were amazing and the roast was very tasty. Strangely though, our starters were brought out at the same time as the main and we had to send back our first round of drinks due to lack of taste. Overall good but a bit of training needed I feel.

Tucked away Gem ready to be found! We popped in as a group of 7 for lunch, the menu wasn’t huge but had a nice variety. We ordered and service was spot on, food arrived quickly and together which was good! The Venison pie is brilliant and is a menu item I will be ordering again. Shrimp burger, haddock and chips, rotisserie Chicken and a Cesar salad were order and plates were cleared! Everything was spot on. Highly recommended.

Lovely drinks and the bar supervisor Jake is great!

We sat in the oystercatcher for a post dinner drink. Had a lovely seat outside (under the heaters which keep it nice and toasty even in november) - we ended up ordering a pudding as the food coming out looked so good. Next time we are in Greenwhich we will try eating our dinner here too!

Came here for brunch, tasted amazing and great value for money. Bronwyn served me, she was very polite and welcoming. 10/10 experience with great views.

Decor is lovely and view are brilliant - unfortunately that's where the positives end. We arrived for Sunday lunch and the place was virtually empty but the staff gave us a wide berth and we had to try to get their attention when we wanted to order. I ordered the vension pie & mash - when it arrived it had roast potatoes and I was told they had no mash but wasn't advised when I ordered - despite getting a long list of other things they were out of when we sat down. I am the unfussiest eater ever but the potatoes had so much black pepper on they were inedible and the pastry was soggy on the pie so I barely ate it. We sat with our dirty plates in front of us for 30 mins as no-one wanted to clear them away and were more interested in polishing cutlery. I would have told them about the poor food but not once did anyone ask if everything was ok or were we enjoying our food. Avoid at all costs - there are many better places to eat in Greenwich.

I've been a loyal customer of this pub for nearly five years, enjoying countless meals, drinks, and celebrations. However, my recent visit on the 22nd of October, 2023, left much to be desired. Accompanied by my wife, who had recently undergone a C-section, and our newborn, we experienced significant delays in food service. Despite multiple inquiries, our order seemed to be perpetually "next" or just "5 minutes away," while tables that arrived later received prompt attention. When I expressed my need to leave and requested to pay for our sparkling water and infusion, the person in charge deemed them complementary as compensation for the wait. The female hosts were more understanding but, despite our patience, our food never arrived. We left after 1 hour 20 minutes waiting, still hungry, and eventually found another pub that treated us with respect and served a delicious roast within 10 minutes of ordering. It's with regret that I must reconsider my patronage and recommendation of this establishment due to this unfortunate experience.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Myself and a friend visited the oyster catcher a couple of weeks ago, because we enjoyed it so much we decided to come back. She lives very far away and we came for a catch up, however we were severely disappointed. It took fifteen minutes for us to be seated and had to ask for our table to be cleaned and some menus, someone finally took our drinks order. A further fifteen minutes passed with no drinks, a waitress then came and took our food order. Half an hour had now passed with no drink and poor service, not to mention they weren’t very busy, there was a few tables max. We went inside to ask for our drinks and another ten minutes later she assured us they were on there way. Our drinks never came and after 45 minutes of waiting we decided to leave as the service and lack of care for customers was so poor. Another couple arrived at the exact same time we did. They were seated, served their drinks, served their food and desserts. And in the same space of time we hadn’t even received our drinks. As someone who has worked in hospitality for years, this was ridiculous, no one cared we were there. Very disappointing as the food and service last time was great. The restaurant was not busy nor was the bar, it was literally empty. Staff were lingering at the bar and talking amongst themselves rather than actually serving their customers. Overall ridiculous for a meal that would have cost almost £100.

We were given a nice outdoor seat overlooking the Thames, the service was excellent and matched the quality of the food

Card only just a bit annoying. Bit upmarket for me. Don't see how you can have regulars not that type of pub .tourists really .not for me.£6 plus pint of lager

I went here for my birthday at the weekend. Great food, lovely views and remarkable customer service! I cannot fault this place and I look forward to returning in the near future!

If you have food allergies/intolerance, tell the staff so they will make excellent recommendations. Love, love, love the food here!

Warm beer. I ve been here a couple of times. Every time I got a worm pale beer. Really slow service

As someone who's always drawn to waterside dining, "The Oyster Catcher" stole my heart with its stunning views of the River Thames. I can't emphasize enough how captivating the setting is, both indoors and on the outdoor terrace. The modern decor and the large windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time, gazing at the tranquil river while savoring your meal.

My niece had her wedding reception here at the weekend. The venue is perfect, on the river, beautiful sunset. The food was excellent and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend for an event.

The staff were really nice. The food was great and the view was amazing.

The food was good, nice view and cosy environment.

Sehr nettes Personal,toller Blick auf die Themse und Essen war einfach (Gruppenessen)aber lecker.

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Oystercatcher and had a wonderful day. Laura and the team went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life. Food and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend!

Love this bar and restaurant. The outdoor seating is so nice with a lovely view. There’s always space and heaters for winter. They are super chill and friendly and service is great apart from when very busy and low on staff. The drinks are good and the food is decent. Only thing is burger was a bit dry and the food could be better overall but I’m happy to have it for an easy local meal in a great setting. I love coming here for drinks and it’s my go to nice place in Greenwich. This is also a great spot for dates.

Perfect service from the staff and the food and drinks were excellent - I am in here regularly as a local and it's always good. Sadly, this evening, a man who seemed to be a manager arrived and started making unpleasant, rude remarks towards some of his staff (while standing in the doorway smoking cigarettes). I don't wish to support a place that treats its staff badly so won't be coming back.

Both prawns & oysters were either old (close to off-date) or stored incorrectly. Very strong smell of the ocean / very fishy. Steak was like a lump of bristle. Chips were mainly oil (not potato). Brocolli was nice but also covered in oil. Glassware dirty. Service extremely slow - I assume that is because they were understaffed. Smoking allowed everywhere outside, on all tables, so if you’re a non smoker and want to eat outside, there is no safe haven from breathing in somebody’s smoke. The view is incredible and the place itself has lovely decor. Very overpriced & honestly one of the worst meals I have ever been served. Staff did remove prawns & oysters off the menu because they were inedible.

Delicious food in front of an amazing view in front of an amazing sunset, the atmosphere is great, and excellent service, I was attended by Marika, very attentive to details, smiling, and she was very nice with us. 100% recommended!!

Really nice little pub. Quiet. Good food . Nice views. Great team

What a great experience! Espresso martini was amazing and the food was incredibly tasty!

Very good food, nice atmosphere outside. And Jack was amazing friendly with us. Definitely recommend this place.

Fabulous views and great for drinks. Eat here at your peril, check the food hygiene score . refried food that tasted like it was from previous day. The sea food was either old or not stored properly. One of our party was very ill the next day after eating the prawns . The Oystercatcher need to address the food situation urgently.

Lovely views and great food. Service was excellent too. Will definitely go again. Good for meals upstairs or just drinks out on the terrace
