Shut up about Barclay Perkins: Greenwich

Greenwich

Simple enough request: can you recommend any pubs in Greenwich? Apart from the Old Brewery. I'm already headed there. Preferably ones close to the DLR station because I'm a lazy bastard.

I also liked the Ashburnham Arms, a Shepherd Neame pub.

The Admiral Hardy, on Park Row, has a beautiful view of the Thames and can usually be relied on to have Adnams on cask.

Have heard good things about The Dog and Bell in Deptford, but never made it there.; 2 August 2011 at 05:16

They get all their bottles from UtoBeer.

Nearest DLR is Blackwall, (Exit station, take a left, then its about 700 yards on your left. Coldhabour lane.; 2 August 2011 at 05:44

"I also liked the Ashburnham Arms, a Shepherd Neame pub." If you like Sheperd Neame beer..... also it's a bit likem Straw Dogs if you're not a regular

"The Admiral Hardy, on Park Row, has a beautiful view of the Thames and can usually be relied on to have Adnams on cask." I think you mean the Trafalgar - the Hardy is on College Approach and has no river view. The Trafalgar will be mobbed with tourists on a Sunday afternoon in August.

"Have heard good things about The Dog and Bell in Deptford, but never made it there" At last you're talking about a good pub with good, very well-priced beer and food. However it's a 25 minute walk from the DLR, which is further than Ron had in mind.; 3 August 2011 at 01:10

Utter dive. Badly kept Shepherd Neame, with a landlord that serves non-regulars like its a chore.; 3 August 2011 at 02:52
