On the last…read morevisit I had the mixed roast consisting of beef, lamb and pork, veggies, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds and cauliflower cheese. All of that for £16 (I think) and it is seriously tasty. The service from the wait staff can be a little slow once you're sat down but the food comes quickly and hot. I always recommend the Lord Northbrook and I've taken visiting friends here for dinner. A beautifully refurbed old boozer now a Gastro pub. Doesn't really get much better. I only give it 4 stars though as the menu selection can be a little limited if you have a picky rate in your midst and they're not the cheapest of venues either. Don't let that put you off though.

We didn't really venture too far from London proper during our recent trip to the city, but decided…read moreit was worth the time to visit The Greenwich Union for a Sunday roast. The establishment has a nice mixture of cozy and airy, which was perfect for a lazy(ish) Sunday. I hate to use this word, but I'll use it anyway (because I can't think of a better descriptor): the service here is "super" friendly, and very knowledgeable, particularly regarding the ales on tap. The barkeep gave us a few sample pours without waiting for us to ask, which we greatly appreciated. Because of that, we were more than happy with the pints we ordered. Moving on to the food: the roasts were delicious, in particular the pork loin, which was moist and flavorful. I enjoyed my roast beef as well. The Yorkshire pudding was wonderful and I might have been just as happy eating that alone for my meal, to be honest. The pub is in walking distance of the touristy areas of Greenwich, so it's easy enough to put some good food in your belly and continue on to your sightseeing, afterward.

The trimmings for the carvery had clearly been out under the heat lamps for a long time. The stuffing was as dry our as you could possibly imagine and the 2 trays of potatoes were dried out and hard as wood from the length of time out under the heat lamps, once you cracked them open however they were fluffy and tasty inside. They could have been nice when they were first put out (obviously a long time earlier) The veg was ok, the mustard and horseradish were crusted over. A young lady asked us what we wanted for dessert, we said we hadn't seen a dessert menu. She seemed very put out and asked if we wanted to see the menu and gave us a piece of note paper with the desserts written on. When she came back to take our dessert order she swang a chair round from the table next to ours and sat at our table to take our order. We assumed at first that she must be pregnant and need to sit when she could but she didn't appear to be. The desserts (2 ice creams and a brownie) took forever to come but were nice when they arrived. We kept going to the bar to ask for the bill and after 20 mins we all went to the bar on our way out in a final attempt to pay the bill. £170 including 'service charge'!!! The cheek! At no point were we shown a menu detailing the service charge policy or told about it at the billing stage. If the service was good we wouldn't have minded but it was really bad. We wanted to tip the lady with the pink hair that looked after us but NOBODY else deserved a tip but they automatically added a service charge to the bill that we had to ask over and over and over again for so we didn't have a choice. We'll never go there again.

Recently re-opened and under new management, the White Hart is a little…read more gem in the heart of Tudor London, right next door to the Bob Hope Theatre. The new landlords have obviously spent a lot of time and money renovating this landmark pub and have done a cracking job. Both the interior decor and beer garden (and even the washrooms) have been fitted out to a high standard. I was recently staying with family in Eltham (during an Olympic test event at Royal Artillery Barracks just up the road) and we popped in for an afternoon drink, and to escape the rain! We were warmly greeted by Dave the manager who showed us into the lounge area, furnished with leather armchairs and a huge sofa. After looking over both the bar menu and restaurant menu we decided to stay for food and moved into the restaurant side. My 8oz sirloin steak was perfectly cooked and, at just £9.99, easily beats the price and quality of a lot of other 'chain' pubs and Carveries. The cask ales on tap included Bombardier and Greene King, good solid London favourites :o) We came back for more at the weekend and I look forward to visiting again when I return for the Olympics. The White Hart is a fantastic family friendly pub that London can be proud of, we desperately need more like it.

A Welcome, Delicious Surprise…read more After a long and arduous journey by train from Brussels to Central London and from there to Greenwich, my wife and I were irritated, exhausted, and starved. We quickly browsed the area's listing for local places to eat and stumbled upon The Prince of Greenwich. At first glance, Prince is an unsuspecting bar with loads of antiques. It appears to be the sort of place you could get a drink and some chips. Surprisingly, Prince is actually an English pub that specializes in Italian food of all things. This concept intrigued us, so we knew we had to check it out. The charming climate of the restaurant is relaxed and homey. It's not just the antiques that make you feel at home. The waitress was helpful and gave stellar reviews of the food. After placing our orders, we enjoyed gossiping about the plethora of antiques littered around us. We ended up really enjoying the food. The cheesy bread with mayo was so strange, but in the best way possible! A simple dish, we were surprised with just how well the mayo fit with the cheesy bread. This was not your typical mayonnaise. Both pasta dishes were delicious. We had just been to Italy 2 weeks before, and this took us right back to the start of our honeymoon. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone out in Greenwich looking to cool down, relax, and unwind. You'll enjoy delicious food and odd trinkets decorating the walls. Just don't skimp on the mayo cheesy bread!

We had the haddock fishcake & chicken wing skewers to start. My fav were the wings & the spicy, delicious sauce that accompanied them. Wish I had some now. Went for the classic burger and the salmon. Both get 2 yums up. The burger was cooked beautifully medium & nothing more was needed, not even salt or pepper; the accompaniments were great. Service with a smile & no hovering around. Yes, really nice pub. I'll be back!

We were here for the breakfast and three of us ordered off the menu, and two of us just had to be fussy and order various items individually. They catered to every wish! The coffee was fantastic and they even had skimmed milk (YEY!) I had the English breakfast with poached eggs, and apart from some hollandaise sauce that appeared on my eggs (I don't like hollandaise sauce!) it was all very yummy. The mushrooms were cooked with rosemary and the cumberland sausage was delicious. I was not keen on the bacon, but that's probably because it was smoked and I'm not a fan of food tasting like sweet smoke. My fellow breakfastarians between them tried the Eggs Special Royal (to celebrate our new princess!) which was apparently delicious, but came with cold avocado under the egg, which made the temperature of the whole dish a little odd. There were no other complaints though and we all agreed to go back very soon. Lovely place!

I asked to wait 15 minutes for the regular menu to start and the staff happily let me sit, reading a book and offering a jug of water. At noon, I ordered a small asparagus and goat cheese tartine. Man, what a DELICIOUS dish. Tons of rich goat cheese smeared on a large slice of grain bread. Shaved parm chunks with diced green peppers as well. I got the dish sans egg. A small green salad with a light dressing accompanies it. Overall a salty, rich plate of goodness for 4.50 quid. The waitresses were constantly in the garden so it was always easy to get their attention for drink top-ups and such. They all had smiles on their faces and were quite kind. This pleasant attitude is so rare in London, I had to tip well! Well done Gantry!

They had a good selection of drafts and I ended up with a cider to start. The service was good, and there was a decent mixture of after work social drinkers about. When the dinner started I was more than pleased. The food was excellent as was the service. The next time I'm in London I will happily meet back up with my friends at this bar.

What a genius idea it was to name this flower shop after the classic 70s broken-hearted ballad! I doubt there is any better way to guilt people in to a shop than letting the words of Neil Diamond float around their heads for a while. If you don't bring your loved one flowers then 1) shame on you and 2) maybe you should visit this shop. It's not just flowers in here but a whole range of gifts and cakes. There is a small cafe at the back of the shop too where you can reward yourself after buying your loved one a nice present. Tea is served in beautiful china pots and their cakes are delicious. The flowers themselves are range from the very exotic to the more well known varieties and are all wrapped beautifully. Maybe it would be worth suggesting to my boyfriend that we move to Lewisham for him to get the hint and buy me something from here!
