Great spot near Greenwich for a quick pint and food. Not as crowded as some of the other pubs in the area mainly due to the fact that it is tucked away in an ally. The dinning room features a great view and decor. Love the vibe they have going. As for the food; I enjoyed my fish and chips. Good batter on a nice sized fresh piece of fish. read more

Came here on recommendation from one of the tourist desks...I swear they called it the "York". So at the bar you need to seat yourself, and serve yourself, I didn't know that, silly ole mee! You only get full service in the dining room! Which is a totally different atmosphere, very proper...Had a window seat, on a high table, right behind me was the sand and waters..very nice. Ordered fish n chips for less than 10 pounds, so delicious....got salad instead of mushy peas (eww). The server was nice to remind me that I need to pick up my water from the bar LOL, cause obviously i didn't, and thanked us for actually paying, because I guess people like to eat and walk out w.o paying all the time. I don't think there were tourists...it's a bit hidden away, all of the other people went to the trafalgar pub in front, we settled for this hidden gem. read more

The Yacht is a pub tucked away down an alleyway in Greenwich just around the corner from The Trafalgar. It offers a river view towards the back of the pub and the layout is well thought out with lots of room for manoeuvre between your table and the bar. There was a relaxed atmosphere here as everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves. There is limited outdoor seating at the front of the pub however when my group sat there we felt a little in the way of passers by. We also found ourselves in the drift zone of the smokers who went outside for a cigarette which wasn't pleasant either. It's nice that the pub are trying to do outdoor seating but on this day it just didn't seem to work. Drinks prices were average for pubs although the food was a little on the pricey side, not extortionately so, but enough to put me off buying any. I would recommend The Yacht as a good place for a drink and a chat with friends or in a passing through capacity on a Greenwich pub crawl. read more

Have been in 3 times recently with my adult kids, good selection of food and priced very reasonably for such a scenic view out over the Thames, lovely staff members give the place a warm atmosphere and the fish and chips is ginormous for something like £9.99, roast dinner on sun days is marvellous value at £14.49 ish depending on what you have. TV screens to watch the football as well if thats what you like, nice family pub all in all. read more

I actually marginally preferred this pub to its neighbour The Trafalgar, but is seems to lose out in the popularity stakes because of its lack of outside space (which seemed to be 1 small metal table out front) although the view over the river from the window seats inside at the back is great and there are comfy sofas to be grabbed too. I can't remember the ales that were available (yeah it was THAT late in the session) but I'm sure I had a decent pint here. read more

I totally agree with Louise . Great view , great drinks, generic music, lovely atmosphere. 4* alone on that . But when we paid prices that I'd expect good well presented food for, I got busy Sunday at weatherspoons presentation and central London prices . I'm not going to go into how shocking the food was cause I'll be here all night. I also hate that I was too spineless to say it to the lovely staff(the star is for them and the drinks) . Even if they were very frugal with there Mayo. Just look at picture of the "cheese" burger . Grooooooooooan. read more

The Yacht - Pubs Near Me - Greenwich, XGL

For this weeks Greenwich Sunday Lunch we decided on the The Yacht, a traditional Taylor Walker pub. On the way The walk to the pub is a stunner, you can walk through the university or straight along the Thames we walked through the University and along the small lane that houses the pub. Pub location The actual pub is in a fantastic position right on the Thames and abouta 5-10 min walk from the Cutty Sark DLR station. What was on offer? On offer was Chicken, Beef or Pork at a very reasonable £9.15 each. We both ordered chicken and settled into some seats by the window with a fantastic view of the The Thames and overlooking the Dome. Whats it like inside? Its a peaceful place, at least it was whilst were there, the pub sits right up against the river and you can hear the waves of the tide lap against the side of the shore as it comes in. No music whilst we were there but I have been before and there has been music and on occasion live music too. Decor is traditional dark wood, with open fireplaces and cosy nooks. Theres a more formal dining room to the back but the best seats must be up again the window to take in the great view. The food The food took about 20 minutes to come just enough to work up a good appetite. Now I must admit when it arrived I did let a small wow!! It was huge and consisted of a half chicken, 4 small roast potatoes, carrots, green beans, yourkshire pudding and tucked underneath the chicken there was mash potato too! The photo really does not do it justice to the size and quantity! The potatoes were small but perfectly roasted, the chicken was moist with a nice shiny glaze on it, the veg was just right in terms of hardness and the yorkshire was crispy without being rock hard. Minuses the chicken was quite boney and it was only after that it occurred to me that I should have checked that it was free range, looking at the website I cant find any reference that it is.bad me for not checking. The potatoes although of a great crispyness the actual taste was quite bland. Other than that I was pleasantly surprised especially for a chain pub and at a great price. The Ratings: Meat 4/5 Veg 4/5 Potatoes 3/5 Gravy 4/5 Other (ie yorkshire pudds and mash) 4/5 Service 4/5 Value for money 4.5/5 (fantastic value) Total 27.5/35 The Yacht goes to the top of the leaderboard. By the way if you click on the link for the pub take no notice of the photo they have got it wrong on the website!! read more

friendly chilled pub with fantastic views of the river and tasty pub grub. Always seems to have a laid back friendly atmosphere. I like very much. Not as touristy or mobbed as some of the other pubs in Greenwich, nicely tucked behind the Trafalgar pub. We keep wandering back to this knowing we'll feel good and enjoy ourselves. read more

Well..I used to work here.The greatness and loveliness of this pub is the amazing view you have! absolutely gorgeous of a summer evening while enjoying a nice glass of wine... Extensive Wine list, sure to find something that you will enjoy. DO NOT however, expect to find good food. Unless you really enjoy paying £8 for a burger.doesn't sound all that bad.untill you know that they are microwaved for 90 seconds and that is the extent of the cooking of the meat. The roast Beef comes in already cooked..microwave tv dinner meat. UMMMDelicious, when you are paying £10 quid for it. The only thing maybe sometimes eating is the Cod. Although comes in frozen it is probably the best cooked thing on there. The chicken comes in bagged up allready cooked. i think the cooking spec was to microwave or oven cook till 75.c in heat.didn't make it dry or anything. Absolute rip off for food. Apparently the company want a fast food type of pub.. seriously if you want something decent to eatpay the extra £££'s and go down the road to one of the cafe's or even pizza express..may not be too much more money but definately worth the hassle of making the extra walk. Its a shame really because this pub has the potential to be great.what with its view and prices for drinks, it really could be good. The company are letting it down. I'm afraid i have to give it a 2 star. (Kings arms down the road.also owned by same companyonly thi doesn't have the view but a nice beer garden) read more

this pub is a little hidden away, and that photo is a great one of it, because when you venture here at night, it does not look anything like that. its down the back alley which is not kept very tidy and does not make it look that appealing. But once you go inside the pub you will realise what a nice little gem of a place this one is. we usually start a night by going to one of greenwich's many restaurants, but allways end up here. they have a good seletion to drink and the wines are not bad either. if you can get by the windows then you will be looking over the thames which is quite nice. this place can get busy at times, but its unpredictable. read more

This is a great pub for a quiet drink and although next to the hectic Trafalger pub, is much quieter and some great big leather chesterfields to laze around on. Excellent river views. Had a weird time on last visit as there was a private function on in back section and a man came from it to the main bar wearing a dog collar and lead, ordered a drink and went back into the private event. The barmaid when I asked her said, oh we are used to that as a fetish club meet there every month. So random and so not Greenwich, but what a great talking point if you happen to be there at the same time as the fetish nights. read more

Went there with my partner for a drink and a chat, as quieter then the Trafalger next door. Now the one star is because of the people they allow to use it and not the staff or the venue which in the past has been great. We sat up near the window on stools and in the back part of the pub was a private event. Now basically it looked like a group of geeky middle aged people sitting around some in leather gear and one came out of their area to where we were sitting and asked us to stop staring at them as they are not a freak show and it is a private event. I wasn't staring, just in a seat on the section looking into their area. She then asked the bar staff to move us as we were to close to their private do. The poor staff member took our side and reminded her that the seating in the main bar is for everyone and asked her to return to her private section. The women then said we were laughing at them, which was a lie as in truth, all I did was say to my partner, why are they all dressed like that. I am sorry but 7 to 10 larger middle aged and older men and women in tight leather and some in goth gear is going to get noticed if we are 5 yards from them. In fact them making noise was the only thing that drew our attention to them. My advice and the bar staff agree with me, is that Thursdays is not the best night to visit as they have a gathering of as the bar maid called them, freaks and weirdo's. read more
