Greenwich Tavern

Appalling. I visited with a large family group on 23.12.11. We all had a two course meal. I can only describe it as truly appalling, customer service was non existent, staff barely apologised for the food, parts of which were served cold. The menu was basic, it is difficult to understand how they could get it so wrong. I recommend that you do not eat or visit this venue. Complained to management by email 2 weeks later no response. Very unhappy customer.

Do not go to this place! Waited 45 minutes for our food which never came before we left.

It's basically a tourist trap as it's right outside Greenwich Park and the first place you see when you come out of it. PLEASE LOOK FURTHER!

I ventured to what i thought was to be the Greenwich Park bar and Kitchen / Grill? The name has clearly changed a lot recently and guess what? It has changed again. The Bar / pub is now called the Greenwich Tavern.

I notice that previous reviews have given little to the bars atmosphere, maybe it has been redecorated but the bar looks great. Windows onto the park, leather sofas to look out of the window from and 2 for 1 on cocktails- which were great!

I ordered mussels (at the bar) , which came in about 10 - 15 minutes. The arrived in 2 pots atop one another and looked ominous but opening them up, wow. A great balance of thyme, rosemary and white wine. Home made flat bread on the side, and you always know when it is homemade!

After eating the waitress came to clear my space and she was very polite and courteous.

A pub process of ordering at the bar, but with a cut above from both the quality of my mixed drinks and food. Whoever took over looks like they have done a lot since the previous reviews.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and am writing this review in the hope that others looking for a treat won't come away as disappointed as we were!

I had a sweaty cheese sandwich with some unwashed lettuce (£5.75!) and my husband had an overcooked tuna steak, again on some unwashed lettuce with some nasty mayonnaise. It took 40 minutes to arrive.

Whilst waiting to order a drink at the bar I witnessed staff picking up glasses by the rims and adding lemon slices to drinks with their fingers.

I overheard other female customers describing the state of the toilets with horror, so avoided them.

Don't do it!

What a disappointment.

Visited today and have only bad things to say. Firstly I asked for a fresh orange and lemonade, to be told that they had no orange, so I ordered a lager shandy only to be charged £3.20 for the privilege.

We than moved onto our meal which was Pasta for me, Bangers and mash with a side order of chips for the wife. When the food arrived the pasta looked like a kid’s portion, and for £8.50 very expensive for what it was, the wife’s mash was cold as where the chips which were reheats, we sent them back and five minutes late they came back hot.

Very disappointed, visited this place about a year ago and the food was great, this place has gone downhill.

booked a table for two people and turned up at the appointed time only to be told that they'd had a big group arrive so too bad for us. not what you need to hear, least of all on a saturday night at 8pm

most annoying, not to mention unprofessional, we had not been contacted beforehand, not even a complimentary drink. In fact the woman there was smiling when she broke the bad news.

I think it's disgusting that anywhere would do that to anyone that has booked in advance and i will never set foot in the place again - nor will my friends.

It takes a special talent to make bad macaroni and cheese.

I thought I was on safe ground when I ordered it for my toddler and me to share as a quick lunch. 7.95 seemed expensive but I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

On the menu it was listed as Macaroni and Cheese with Peas and Broad Beans.

What arrived was penne overcooked to the point of being mush with a greasy sauce which tasted of nothing - not a hint of cheese - and a few peas and chives sprinkled on top.

It was disgusting and I sent it back and asked for my money back.

The waiter seem completely unconcerned. After a vague apology he gave me my money back and returned to his conversation at the bar with barely a pause.

This was the worst food I have ever been served in a restaurant.

If they can't even make macaroni cheese, god only knows what the rest of the menu is like.

I went to Greenwich Park Bar and Grill with 4 other friends today for lunch, Sunday 29 March, and it was an awful experience. We would have preferred to eat in the park but the cold weather lead us inside. When we asked the waitress what the roast was served with her answer was 'I don't know, but I know it's beef'...after a bit of prompting she went to find out. When we ordered our food the restaurnt was empty but somehow it took 40 minutes for burgers, salad and steak to arrive. The manager was indifferent in his attitude when questioned about this. I had to go get my own steak knife. The bacon was omitted from the burgers, and the steak was undercooked. Needless to say, the bill was the fastest item to arrive at the table. We didn't leave a tip. I think they are too reliant on location for good service.
