This is a Taylor Walker pub, but with not much of an ale choice. There were three handpumps on the counter, but two were unclipped and the third was dispensing Hop Stuff Single (£2.20 a half - typical Greenwich pricing). It was actually rather good, and it was a nice enough day to enjoy a very hoppy beer, but a choice would be nice. There are single sheet pub grub style menus, as you would expect from a Taylor Walker pub. The Big Ben burger is £11.49, but includes chips, cheese, bacon, onion rings and an egg. In fact every price on the menu ended in 9p, so I guess they must stock up with 1p coins! I don't think anyone will be fooled by the 99p ploy these days, as I think we can all work out that £10.99 is really eleven quid.
But never mind that. The pub has the usual TW furnishings - there's a bare-boarded area on the right with mainly tall tables/tall stools but with a couple of normal tables and chairs, and on the left is a carpeted area with more normal tables and chairs. The faux antique look is present here. I don't think that there's anything of heritage interest remaining now, but the moder bar back is at least designed to look traditional. Having said all that, it's actually quite a comfortable and clean pub.
As the rugby World Cup was on there's Union Flag bunting strung acress the room, plus Guinness and "Ask About Cask" bunting as well. I'm not sure what one is supposed to ask about cask; I asked about cask and was told they only had the one on. The rugby was popular though, with a group of Spanish tourists thoroughly engrossed in it. This pub's not perfect, but is a decent place to stop off for a pint and is probably worth wandering to from the tourist centre of Greenwich to find a slightly less crowded pub.
