The Guildford Arms

I’ve never had a tofu roast, but these guys went out of the box when I said I wasn’t a nut roast fan. 👌 The waitress was the highlight - totally looked after us and even gave my dog some beef cuts (so spoilt and wonderful!!). I love the outdoor terrace, but there’s plenty of space all through the restaurant. Definitely the nicest pub I’ve seen in Greenwich. My only feedback would be prices are slightly higher compared to portion size, but otherwise, I highly recommend.

Service, food and vibe are all excellent. You feel welcomed and chilled from the start to finish. Back garden is good maintained with good spaces between tables and seats. I had the grilled pork belly and it was delicious, most importantly they are not cold. Table settings are good and clean. Waiter and waitresses were with a smile on their faces and I believe they have a good working environment. All tips and service charges are going to the staffs pockets that's nice to know.

A lovely meal here this evening at Guildford arms. We had these menu Tues - Thursday at £24.50 2 courses and a glass of wine, beer or soft drink . I was a bit dubious but we tried it . Mains were delicious lamb and fish very tasty. Excellent side salad ordered separately and tasty starters , beetroot feta salad and crab and leek tart all tasty , clean plates all round . Super lovely waitress who was so attentive and friendly. Surprised to have such a nice evening in Greenwich which can be a bit blighted by chain restaurants.

The menu is always nice here, Sunday roasts and a few more classics are a go-to for us. Desserts are absolutely amazing. The staff is kind and helpful. Perfect place for a Sunday roast with family and friends. And it is family and pet friendly

Had an absolutely amazing Thursday evening dinner here, first time visiting and I can honestly say, blown away by the service and the food. Had sausage and mash for my main, which is always the go to for me to try when I haven't eaten at a pub before. The gravy was rich and definitely plenty of it. Sausages great quality Cumberland, and the creamy, buttery mash potato was so moreish. The gentleman who took care of us Charles was a wonderful host and made sure we were well looked after. The garden looked amazing but was a bit chilly for us to check it out this time. Great excuse to return very soon! Cracking local and brilliant Team, thank you Charles👌🏼

My favourite place to eat in Greenwich. It's a relaxed restaurant/pub with really good, well priced food, friendly staff and a big garden. Glad to see they've got more vegan options back on the menu as well as the usual gastro pub classics. I had a delicious main of mushroom, kale, cauliflower puree and chilli crumb for £13.50. Good desserts and wine too.

A must-visit gastropub. I definitely fell in-love with their Sunday roast. Everything from the appetisers to the main courses to the desserts and beverages is delicious, fresh and of good quality. You will also be properly taken care of, since all staff members wear an infectious smile and check on how things are going. Additionally, I've also observed how well they catered to each of their client’s request. Moreover, the atmosphere is also perfect for social gatherings with friends and loved ones. If you love drinking outdoor, their garden is magnificent in the summer. It is without a doubt one of the most amazing location I have ever visited.

We came early evening on a Monday. It was fairly empty. The waitress was probably new because she kept having to ask the manager a lot of questions we had, and forgot the cutlery etc. Most of the summer cocktails were not available. However, the cocktail we did manage to get in the end was delicious and the food was also high quality. We will come back and I’m sure the service will be better once staff have time to be trained a bit more :-)

I found this restaurant on Yelp when looking for somewhere to eat close to The O2. Admittedly, its not actually that close, but Dan B's glowing review tempted me to book anyway. When I called to make the reservation, they told me that they were doing a deep clean but hoped to be open for our booking at 6.30pm. We popped our heads round the door at 6pm and everything looked in order - dinner was on! On arrival we were taken upstairs to the dining room. We were the only people there but I guess this wasn't a surprise as we were dining quite early. The dining room is really pleasantly decorated in shades of pale green and brown, and we were given a table by the window. They only do a set menu - £26 for two courses, £30 for three courses, great value for the quality of the food. Obviously we went for the three course option! Service was great, we were served quickly but not rushed in any way. For starter I chose the pan fried trout on a bed of lentils with black pudding. I thought that the strong flavour of the latter two ingredients may drown out the delicate trout, but all three ingredients complimented each other nicely. The trout skin was so crispy it was a delight. For main course I chose the venison, cooked rare as recommended by the chef, served with chestnut puree, cumin carrots, cabbage, a wild mushroom ravioli and a balsamic jus. The venison was so tender and tasty but the star of this dish was surprisingly the ravioli, the flavour was immense and went beautifully with the meat. For pudding, nothing particularly jumped out at me, but I chose the orange creme brulee which came with a cardamon biscuit. The brulee was great but the biscuit was nothing special. Unfortunately, the credit card machine wasn't working and we eventually had to cobble together the small change from our purses the be able to pay for the meal. I'm not sure what would have happened if we hadn't had enough cash - washing up maybe?! As it happened, we missed the boat (Thames Clipper) due to the problems with the card machine. For this, they lose a star!

Food is ok, but morning memorable. Decent drinks range but not a huge range. Service is ok but also not mind blowing. It's a great pub to go to for a drink or a meal, but nothing fancy. If I wanted great food I would go elsewhere, as I would if I wanted a wider drinks selection. That said it can't be beaten in the sun. Great beer garden.

Worst dining experience in the UK. Whole array of issues. On December 10, 2013, my wife and I came for dinner from The Inside restaurant nearby, referred as 'sister restaurant' by the staff after the power went out in The Inside. We ordered Irish coffees which were weak, with only a slight trace of whiskey and definitely the cream wasn't double for certain. For mains we asked for grouse. Waited over 40 minutes, asked how much longer we should wait when finally the mains came. Each portion consisted of two pieces. Each of us are one and then - surprise - the other piece was so bitter it was impossible to even keep it in the mouth! Apparently, gallbladder was ruptured and ruined the meat. A distinctive scent was present to prove it. We immediately complained to the hostess/manager. She promised to speak to the chef and returned shortly dismissing all our claims: 'Chef tasted it and he sees no problem'. In total disbelief we responded that it is simply not possible - when there's gall in the meat, it's impossible even to 'taste it'. I politely explained that as a hunter I know that game bird must be cleaned and prepared with special care. But whatever. She kept insisting that there was no problem with the meat. We tried to explain ourselves but this was getting more and more awkward. Although staying polite, the hostess seemed to imply that we simply made it up! What, just to have some sick fun in raising the complaints? In conclusion, the full price of the grouse was included in the bill! We had no choice but to pay and leave. Frustrated, hungry and offended. During the situation chef never showed his face, never came out of the kitchen. This unprofessional and unwelcome attitude leads us to believe that this pub apparently not the place where the customer is always right. We eat out at least three times a week and also travel a lot, so of all places this sort of experience we could expect anywhere but in London...Unfortunately not this time. Hopefully the owners get to read this review.

This place was just wonderful, a short walk for the Novotel in Greewhich, we chose this place for a family reunion dinner, there were seven of us spanning 3 generations and it was just a perfect experience for all. They reallly went out of their way to look after us, The service was friendly and impeccable, the food was delicious - highlights were the porkbelly/stew and the salmon main , i also enjoyed the beetroot soup and the (Cornish) Trelawny Bitter (St Austell Brewery)

More a place to eat than drink. Food was very good when I went and would return. My score based on dining rather than drinking.

We visited this place recently on a Friday evening, had a great meal and thoroughly recommend it. Best described as a Gastropub, it is currently undergoing external refurbishment. Inside is a tastefully decorated and spacious dining area, small bar and a couch. A pleasant garden out the back aswell. Atmosphere is suitably relaxed, but service attentive and genuinely helpful. Menu is small, which i find is often an indicator of a considered menu using freshly prepared ingredients. We chose tiger prawns in thai style and a mozzarella, plum tomato and pesto tart as starters. Portions were just right, well presented and food tasted good. The tart was excellent, clearly homemade, and combination of flavours worked well. Mains were simple, but prepared and cooked with care. I had beer battered cod and chips. My partner had steak, chips and salad. To give an idea of the care taken, the tartare sauce was homemade served in its own dish, lemon was wrapped in a bandage to prevent pips escaping on to the plate. The food was excellent. My partners steak was huge and cooked to perfection. The puddings were excellent too. I had a vanilla panna cotta with raspberries. My partner had a warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. Really well presented and again well thought out. The Guidlford Arms is a real hidden gem and a great location to go for a quiet meal with a loved one or a drink with civilised friends (not a rowdy place, decent clientele) Good ales and wine on offer in addition to the food.

I visited Guildford Arms on a few occasions and never had a bad meal there. Staff is very friendly, attentive and helpful. Food well cooked and well presented. Lovely Sunday Roast! Great garden and relaxed atmosphere. Congratulations!

I attended a wedding reception in the Guildford Arms late last year. All was going fine, food was good but at around 7pm the staff turned off the music and the whole reception got turfed out even tho we had the room till close. the staff were extremely unapologetic and had the BRIDE IN TEARS before we all had to leave. reason? they wanted more covers for the evening restaurant. The Guildford Arms destroyed what would have been a perfect evening. message to the pub: in future please be aware of the responsibility you have when holding a wedding reception and dealing with the most important day of a couples lives.

Revitalised as a gastro pub by the people behind inside this is well worth checking out. Great food. Lovely garden.
