Dial Arch, Woolwich, SE18

A large modern Young's pub with rooms and nooks and crannies everywhere. A selection of real ales with a very sub standard pint of Hop Stuff Pale ale being an eye watering £4.15 a pint. So if you visit make sure you come with a fat wallet, you will need it. A rip off.

After eating here nine times (out of the twelve evenings I was in Woolwich), on just two occasions, the food was not quite so good. Not bad in any way, but just not as good as I'd come to expect. Still, seven out of nine isn't a bad score. There's a choice of eight (or was it more?) real ales, and many keg beers. The place is adorned with interesting knicknacks - possibly from the building's days as a store/workshop in the Royal Arsenal, or perhaps just any old thing bought in by some interior designer. A welcome find in a good food and drink wasteland, and I will certainly eat here again if I have the misfortune to be working in Woolwich again.
