The Old Brewery

For almost 300 years, they’ve been brewing ale at the Royal Naval College in historic Greenwich. Maintaining that tradition, its gleaming vats forming an impressive backdrop to a tasteful new café/bar, is the Meantime Brewing Company, formed in 2000 to great acclaim. On offer are complex wheat beer, pale ale, stout or Helles light lager, or any of 60 global frothy-tops – US brewer Anchor’s Old Foghorn & a strong cast of bottled Belgians that includes Rochefort & Westmalle Triple. Otherwise, a concise wine list includes Latin American whites from £4 a glass. Wraps & sandwiches, beef & (Meantime) ale pie, ploughman’s lunch & fish & chips form the basis of a daytime café menu, & a fuller evening dining offer has been wowing SE10.
