Cutty Sark (Greenwich)

• One of the hidden gems of the Thames is the Cutty Sark pub at Greenwich
• The downstairs floor is cobbled and the rest is heavy
• With a winding central staircase and low ceilings with wooden beams
• It has just reopened after a spruce up and with a new menu
• Medium rare with bearnaise sauce and triple cooked chips
• After a ham hock terrine with pickles and sourdough and rounded off with rhubarb fool
• You may regret not ordering the scallops and pork belly with cauliflower puree
• Thanks to the refurb there is now an additional private dining area on the second floor (The Crow's Nest) that can be booked for functions
• You'll find a range of Youngs and popular European beers as well as a decent selection of wine (and it is a fine place to enjoy a glass by the window on a quiet afternoon)
• This beautiful old pub is on the side of the Thames where you overlook Canary Wharf and the O2 arena in the same view
• The window views are in big demand so book those if you can
• Had scallops and black pudding with celeriac to start followed by dish of the day haddock
• Some very nice wines and finished off with a great Australian red desert wine
• The cuisine is mainly British oriented
• I recommend going with a couple of friends or family
• This pub is quaint with old world charm and dining sections that seem to float
• I've had a lamb shank type stew with lentils that was tender and so flavourful
• Particularly if you are a large party
• Get a table with a view because these are not to be missed
• The prices are reasonable and have pub food
• I would not recommend going for anything fancy in a pub and I did the rookie mistake of going for the swordfish with couscous which smelt and tasted terrible with one bite
• I told the waitress that I couldn't eat it and this was apologetically and promptly replaced by the fish and chips which was stellar
• Also the wines are not bad for a pub I recommend the Sangiovese
• The last floor on the top closes at 10 which was bizarre for us and we were told to go downstairs to enjoy and drinks
• This historic pub is a pleasure to wile away time in
• The interior is very traditional
• Not sure what was happening in there
• All of the dishes were cooked extremely well
• Lovely old pub with cozy warm feeling and good food
• I had fish and chips and was Very nice and a huge portion
• My partner had a tasty big sandwich with all the trimmings and fresh fab chips
• Highly recommended if you are in the area
• We decided on Cutty Sark Tavern in Greenwich for this occasion when we were in England in September 2016
• What a lovely place with a typical English pub setup
