What to expect
The Old Brewery in Greenwich is a pub and restaurant inside the Pepys Building, in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, about two minutes' walk from the Cutty Sark. The dining room has original brewing tanks from Meantime, the local brewery, and there is a garden. It is a relaxed place to sit down after the sights.
The menu is seasonal British pub food, from brunch to dinner, with a Sunday roast and children's menus, along with locally brewed craft beer, wine and cocktails. It is not a brewery tour, so treat it as a pleasant stop for a drink or a meal. It also hosts parties and live sports screenings.
