The Trafalgar Tavern

I always say the same about this place: amazing place, fantastic views, great food and service

Fantastic as usual. Just to have a drink or for a proper dinner, it’s always perfect

Great service as always will use again and again thanks

Great! Friendly staff had a good time will visit again

Although our lunch was only a week before Christmas, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet. The food and service were excellent and everyone had an good time. The restaurant decoration is very attractive and the views across the Thames are unique.

We had a really good sunday roast and sticky toffee pudding. Sat by the window with å good view over London and river Thames. A little noisy.

Lovely pub with good food and friendly staff. I've been here a few times now and it's always nice. A busy pub with a great view.

We found it a great venue for a good quality Sunday lunch with spectacular views over the Thames!. Staff were efficient, very polite and attentive.

Excellent food and great service. Such a beautiful pub with great views on the river and full of atmosphere. Sausage and mash was amazing, definitely recommend.

A very pleasant visit with friends and enjoyed good food, great beer and lovely ambience all underlined by friendly and efficient service by well trained staff.

Even though we arrived with three little girls at a very busy time we were very well looked after and all of us very much enjoyed our lunch - especially the whitebait of course! The staff couldn't have been bettered and we were even given a private tour of the lovely newly renovated room before its opening. Our only complaint would be the absolutely gigantic TV screens which dominate one end of the dining room and which are totally out of place and ruin the ambiance. Fortunately the room is big enough to be able to sit out of sight of them else we would have been forced to go elsewhere.

Very nice food in very generous portions with efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended and in a great location in Greenwich with the Thames lapping at the windows.

It was nice, staff was really nice and we liked the food / pork belly w chips and sausages w mash potato, plus macand cheese on a side. Beautiful view

A fantastic place to meet for lunch. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The roast dinners looked Amazing. They could have been hotter and the vegetables were a little too 'al dente' ! Would go again though.

Food didn’t all come out together. Sprouts not cooked well, too hard. Beef under cooked and a lot of fat to cut off. 13.5% service charge still included for 3 0 people!

Food was good. Menu is limited but better to do this and cook it well. Large selection of drinks with lots if draught & 3 pages of gins! Service left a little to be desired.

It could be a “not to miss” restaurant—but it needs work to get there. The Trafalgar has a history, tradition, a unique building, and a prime location—but it also has poor service and inexperienced wait staff, an ordinary pub plus menu, and no real sense of style. With a well managed and trained staff; a chef who adds creative and imaginative dishes to the traditional pub menu and some sophistication in terms of presentation the Trafalgar could compete with central London restaurants. For now if you want to celebrate someplace special the Trafalgar isn’t the place to go.

On the weekend you will expect your food at least 40 min ( with hungry kids) Food is good though. New staff not great. Refurbishment not great was better.

The Potatoes were in the dry side and the rest was a bit cold. The service was good. Prices were a bit high considering the food.

Beautiful pub, very friendly staff and last but not least delicious fish and chips, best I ever head in a pub, light and crispy dough, neat fish ( no grey skin left) and clean toilets, nice soap and lotion available. We had a nice view on Thames and O2 Arena, nice interior. Food and atmosphere were very good so we left as very content customers 😁

Very slow. They took on too many covers. Food arrived at different times. No apology. Real shame. Trying to be greedy and letting customers down. Although food good.

Fab restaurant. Beautiful views. Great food. Large selection of drinks. Fantastic value for money on drinks and good. Would highly recommend anyone going. This place is family friendly

booked online on Thursday for a Sunday 6pm reservation. Telephoned the pub next day, Friday, to request a window table and was advised we could be accommodated but in event of a busy period may have to be moved to another table as window tables mainly seat four. I was also advised that sometimes roasts can run out at around time of our Sunday booking, only if especially busy. Arrived to find pleasant staff who suggested we order a drink at bar whilst they cleared and set requested window table. Ordered roast beef and roast lamb which was served with plenty of meat cooked slightly pink and tender, although not enough vegetables or gravy to wet the Yorkshire pudding. It would have been nice to be offered an extra small jug of gravy. Desserts of cheesecake somewhat overly sweet and panna cotta bland, although nicely presented with a touch of diced exotic fruits and fresh mint. All round staff pleasant and attentive, ambiance and views appealing. An enjoyable and hassle free experience perhaps due in part to not unreasonable numbers of other visiting patrons.

Great experience - nice staff - cosy table by the river

we booked for 8pm on a saturday night. service was quite unhurried, with the result that when we had finished our main courses it was, apparently, too late to order desserts as we were told that the kitchen had closed. a poor end to the evening.

Table of 3 not to be put on table of 2 and squashed up, quicker service to bring the bill and of have one dedicated waiter or waitress so there is consistent service

The decor has changed mostly for the better but as a downside, there are more tables now and therefore, more covers for the restaurant. Whilst this may be good for them from a dining experience perspective, it wasn't that enjoyable. The tables are very narrow and cramped and we all felt as though we were eating on top of one another. Whilst the food was average, the amount of room for an enjoyable lunch was negligible. Further, the tables are so very close together now that this makes for a great deal of noise and it was difficult to be heard above the cresecendo. Unfortunately and due to this experience, we are unlikely to repeat our annual patrionage to this particular establishment. Staff were courteous and pleasant but unfortunately, that doesn't off-set our overall rating.

The staff were friendly and accommodating, however all 3 of our roast chickens were undercooked on Sunday and previously, one of our party’s main courses came out 20 minuets later than everyone else’s. The food is usually very good but our last few times here have been a bit disappointing.

Wonderful location for a Sunday lunch. Location is perfect- Thames lapping up against the window when the tide is in - even a council car park at the end of street . Food is good quality gastropub

Food was delicious, portions huge so value for money. Only thing the round tables not really suitable for 3 people as wooden trays as starters were hanging off table and 3 plates for main never left much room for glasses. Otherwise ok

Will visit this resturant again. Had a lovely meal quick service and friendly staff who go out of there way to help. Great menu and drinks

Did not have the appropriate size table for our party of 3 so we had to sit outside. Service was adequate and food was okay.

Very disappointed. I used to come all the time but this pub has gone downhill with no brakes. We had to ask twice but finally got moved to a table that could fit our dishes. We had to wait over one hour for our mains and the wine was younger than on the list. For the prices they charge I would definetely go somewhere else Luckily they can’t change the view as that is the only thing left of this once charming place.

Food was lovely and of a good standard but the service time was very slow and took a very long time for mains to come out (over an hour).

Food is good and setting is fantastic however service is shocking!!

A fine traditional English meal in pleasant surroundings on the river. Full of historical pictures.

Initial seating and taking drinks and main course order was quick. After this the wait was long for the food to be served as was the wait for the dessert order and delivery. No waiting staff were available to request the bill this was done by going up to the bar .

Food was not fresh, the meat was dry and tough and you could tell the potatoes had been cooked hours ago. Definitely not worth the high prices.

We arrived just before 9.00 pm, as booked, to find that the restaurant closed. The manager found us a table in the bar area. The food was average. When we came to order a desert we were told that the chef had gone home. We booked at 9.00 pm because one of our party could not arrive until then. We were given no indication that this would cause problems.

We enjoyed our visit very much The staff were delightful and the food was excellent We live in Essex but are happy to travel to eat with you when we are in London

There were 4 in our party and we all enjoyed the experience. We arrived earlier than the time we booked so sat outside and enjoyed the view and atmosphere, with a couple of drinks. The restaurant was busy and we had a little wait for our meals. The food was very good and the staff very pleasant. Overall we had a very enjoyable time.

Great afternoon , my mums 89 th birthday , thanks . Great caring service with a smile was really appreciated . Great table with views to the Thames and food very good.

The food was great and the view in the river really makes it a great spot!

Lovely evening with friends at the Trafalgar. Good location right next to the river. Beer, food, and service were very good. A bit pricey but didn't detract from the overall experience.

The food was delicious the service was good and the pub was very clean and beautiful window view. The only improvement that could be made would be more vegetables with the Sunday Roast.

We sat in the window overlooking the Thames on a Saturday evening, not too busy and the food was extremely good. I highly recommend this lovely, historic pub / restaurant.

First they brought the wrong drinks then, 30 minutes after ordering food, they came back to say they’d given us the wrong menu. After a further 30 minutes, and two complaints, the starters arrived together with the main for one of my grandchildren. The food for my other grandchild wasn’t served despite repeated requests. The starters had way too much salt in them. Then we went through the same process with the mains. Eventually the waiter came back to say that one of the dishes we had ordered had run out. The manager then turned up and tried to placate us with free wine. We politely explained we wanted food not wine. When the mains turned up they were laced with salt to the point of being unpleasant. Vegetables were almost raw and belly of pork couldn’t be cut with a knife. We asked for the bill, twice, and they had removed the charge for the bottle of wine we had. After spending £130 and 2 hours on a simple two-course meal we left. I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant to anybody but felt they deserved the Basil Fawlty restaurant of the year award.

Great location by the river and interesting memorabilia on display .We enjoyed the meal and sampled some of the vast collection of gins that were available. Bit quiet on a Tuesday but the staff were helpful and agreeable.

Very dissapointing experience. The pub has been renovated recently and entirely lost it’s character. The service was poor, and rushed at every stage. The food was average. What happened to this place? It was one of our favourite pubs in Greenwich and now, quite frankly, it has been ruined.

I always chose the Trafalgar when I have to take for dinner friends from abroad. this time I was disappointed. I was never old that the place in under refurbishment and I got given a table for 5 in the bar area not even wide enough to have plates next to each other. If I had known I would have picked somewhere else, the food was average pub food and not the usual good, classy dishes. I will go again once the refurbishment is finished, and I hope that they will prove me wrong!
