“A large group well cared for”

Visited July 2017
Trip Advisor

The rain chased us out of the park, so we headed here. There ended up being around 20 of us,
including children, moving from pub to garden and back again. The staff were very friendly
and helpful even though we caused them a bit of a problem. They catered to staggered
food orders and quite staggering alcohol orders! We spent a great deal of money over
the afternoon but in fairness I think we’d have got good service anyway and we tipped well,
Definitely recommended and look forward to going back in a somewhat smaller group.

“Very friendly historic pub between the Observatory and the river.”

Built in 1691, this boasts of being the oldest and the friendliest pub in Greenwich. At least that is what a friendly local told me even after I told him I came from Essex. Conveniently situated just off the path which leads down from the Observatory towards the river and the other Greenwich historical buildings and eating places. Great atmosphere as we walked in. Busy lunchtime with good beer and food on offer. I went for my usual if I can get it-Harveys. But others tried other beers on offer and were very impressed. Barlady allowed tasters.

Tucked Away Jewel

What a great little pub. Only found it by accident, trying to negotiate Greenwich roads. Will definitely call back. Great garden, with a kids corner! Good beers and even better sarnies. Staff very helpful. Only downside is the parking, I never found any, other than off street and parking meter. Still it was worth the cost. A little Jewel of a pub….Cheers.

4th and final pub of my mini crawl, came here just before 10pm and this might have been the best of the lot.
4 ales on the pumps, my selection of Harvey’s Best was very good and a good way to end the evening.
Not too many punters in, the ones that were in were friendly and along with the good attentive service gives the pub a really nice fell.
This is a really nice boozer occupying a great position overlooking Greenwich Park. 
I was here around 11 years ago but haven’t returned since, I won’t make the mistake of leaving so long until my next visit.

Excellent pub

Used to drink here when I lived in Greenwich 30 years ago and have taken to popping in again a couple of times a year when I am up in London.
Friendly staff who always offer a warm welcome and a good selection of drinks make this an ideal place to visit after a walk in the park or the river front.
Has a beautiful hidden garden at the back which is extremely child friendly and the food menu looks delicious.
Well worth a visit Visited June 2014

“Great family pub ”

Was chosen as a central meeting place for a group of friends to meet.
Most of us have children. The pub is ye olde worlde from the outside. Inside It is
like Dr Who’s tardis. It has a lovely rear garden area that has a small shelter area
specifically for the kids. Inside is some play things and a massive chalk board.
This kept the kids entertained and out of our hair. A very children friendly pub,
with cheerful and helpful staff. Highly recommended if you visit Greenwich.

“Sunday Roast”

Reviewed 16 April 2015

The Plume of feathers is located in Greenwich near the National Maritime Museum. We were looking for an establishment that served a traditional “Sunday Roast” that English Pubs are known for. We were not disappointed. The Plume of Feathers offered a choice of beef roast, pork roast, roasted chicken and something called a vegetable roast (whatever that is???). We started with a yummy carrot-cardamom soup drizzled with EVOO and served with rustic bread slices. I selected the pork and my grandson chose the beef. Both meals arrived with a Yorkshire pudding as a topper… yum. My meal was complemented by a citrusy pale ale by Twickenham. The interior of the pub was charming and with plenty of medium toned wood and typical pubby décor. Definitely one of the more upscale pubs I’ve visited. Although tucked away on a side street, the PoF is easy to find because it is 1/2 block from the National Maritime Museum and about a dozen meters east of the Prime Meridian, which of course runs through central Greenwich. Because of their popularity, PoF does three seatings for their Sunday Roasts, starting at noon. Pub Sunday Roasts are traditionally afternoon to early evening affairs. We had reservations for the third seating at 4:30 pm.

After a few recommendations by friends and family what a pleasure it was to visit this great British old fashioned (in a good way) backstreet boozer we’ve visited a few places in Greenwich for food and drinks and this is by far our favourite little hideout with a great team of staff which are very friendly, happy, helpful and eagerly willing to accommodate but most of all very attentive ’twas a was a busy Sunday afternoon and we thought we would be waiting a fair amount of time after ordering our meals but were shocked to be served within 15-20 mins a hot Sunday roast with all the trimmings a generous portion at that of beautiful cooked sirloin of beef and what my wife said the best fish and chips she had ever eaten, well done chefs!!! We will be returning to this hidden little gem for more dining and drinks this place is a must for foodies and drinkers alike with a beautifully flowered beer garden, great staff, great beers, ales and wines and superb food this IS A MUST if your visiting Greenwich!!
