?7? Really? By saying you were charged that, did you not look at the wine list? Just asking as you sound surprised. The Prosecco was ?5 from memory which is just about what we've paid elsewhere in ED. We have the 175mls glasses of wine and they definitely weren't ?7 but around the ?5 something (though they did have cheaper & more expensive ones) which again is comparable to anywhere else - and they had a much larger variety & choice.

> ?4.75 for a Greenwich Meantime Ale. Enough said.


Not saying it's good value, but these days everywhere seems to charge ?4 for bog stanard Heineken/Amstel. So I'd rather pay ?4.75 for something that tastes decent.

saw the outside of this coming together nicely over jan and feb, looked great from the outside ... but inside what a lost opportunity. looks like a lof of money and effort spent but slightly misguided interior design... what market was this aimed at (we are interior designers / architect) in particular as others have pointed out, the sky-lit rear area, which feels like a motorway services eating area. the front of the pub / bar area looked better, but there wasn't space to sit and enjoy that. food and drink = pricey, i'll give it another chance this summer, but with all the promise of the exterior restoration (lovely - + great logo!) it's going to be a while before anyone finds the time / money to rectify the mistakes inside. oh well. lost opportunity big time, for such a great location.

Just taken my Canadian visitor there and we were both shocked to the price of a local beer (Greenwich larger). Surely because it's a local ale it should be cheaper than other largers!


I prefer the old lay out (first time since refurb) seems very closterfobic in the back . Before we could sit where we wanted, tonight we were funnelled to the front! As a visitor, he thought the Forest hill tavern was much better than the Clock house (interesting).

Hello, we be had two meals there and both times thought the food was good and the service by the young waitress excellent. The second time was for Sunday lunch and we took our dog so sat in the front area, the waitress although rushed still found time to bring a water bowl over which was thoughtful.

A change for the worse in my opinion. I've been twice now and disappointed both times, not only with the food (half the menu not available at lunchtime!), but the prices and the rude staff.


Shame really as we loved it before and it has potential to do well with such a great location near the park.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
