About

The Old Brewery is a historic pub tucked inside the iconic Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. With its crumbling brick walls, original Meantime brewing tanks and a sweeping view of the River Thames, it feels both a bygone era and a touch of modern London charm. Visitors can drop in for a pint or book a table for brunch, lunch, or dinner – the menu bursts with traditional British classics made with seasonal produce and local craft ales. Whether you’re exploring nearby Cutty Sark or just popping in for a quick drink, this venue offers a cosy yet grand atmosphere that blends history, good food and relaxed hospitality. Beyond the food, the pub doubles as a versatile event space. The Brewery Hall and the airy colonnade can host weddings, corporate gatherings, birthdays and more, each backed by experienced event staff who can tailor everything from canapés to 3‑course menus and live entertainment. Wrapped in centuries‑old heritage, the setting makes every celebration feel special. In addition to its historic allure, the pub offers a festive Christmas menu, a Sunday roast tradition and several curated drink lists including winter cocktails and local wines, ensuring each visit is a memorable experience. The place is a natural spot for foodies, history buffs and families alike, and it's perfectly situated for a quick break or an all-day outing.
