There’s a lot of historical pubs in Greenwich with one or two claiming to date back to when the first Maritime pensioners moved into the newly built Naval Hospital.
This isn’t one of those, being a late Victorian build from 1891 as mentioned below. The pub is proud of its refurbished interior and although it is very comfortable and modern, sadly any sense of history has long since disappeared. But I tend to look this one up for lunch as, although you can see the Cutty Sark from its front door, it’s far enough away from the tourist trail to not get overrun by them, unlike the pubs closer to the river, and it has a decent and not outrageously priced food menu.
It is run by Green King though, so you have to set your expectations on the ale front and yesterday only three of the six pumps were in operation with Abbott, IPA and a house badged ale which I went for and was another uninspiring bitter from the Green King stable. A pint of this and a half of a Fruity Tiny Rebel craft brew from the keg taps was £9.25 and the service levels were good

This pub dates from at least the start of the 19th century possibly rebuilt in 1891, with the current incarnation maybe dating from the 1930s.
The interior can be seen on Google; a modern wood floor, white and claret colour scheme, pale wood panelling, modern furniture, modern wood bar back with some white shiny ceramic tiles and bare brick, hipster filament lighting, décor amounting to eclectic knickknacks and framed prints. Customers were older locals, along with a gaggle of men visiting from the North.
A Greene Kerching pub, ales amounted to GK IPA (‘coming soon’), London Glory (‘coming soon’), Fyne Ales Jarl (‘coming soon’), still no Abbot, then Knight of the Garter and Southwark’s Routemaster Red at a pricey £2.85 a half and decent, served by a perfunctory barmaid.
With a slightly contrived and corporate feel, this isn’t a pub which anyone should lose sleep over if missed; there are far better pubs in Greenwich.

Rated 4.5.

A nice exterior and a good bar, but the rest of the place has been rather buggered about with, from the glass entrance doors to the mismatched interior. There is rear room wioth slightly more relaxed furniture and a patio =garden out the back. Still a Greene King house with just IPA and Old Speckled Hen on pump plus Yardbird promised (Wot no Abbot?). Nothing special.
