Food was very tasty, service was excellent and friendly. I had a large table of 11 for a graduation celebration and we all got served our food within moments of each other, everyone's meal looked great.

Overall a lovely dinner. Will def go again. Great cuts of meat, good service, staff extremely friendly and courteous. The noise from the lounge sports wise was the only issue.

This old tavern in Greenwich with a magnificent view on the Thames was lively during our Sunday lunch. The food was traditional and good. The service was friendly.

Very disappointing. We had to wait a long time to receive our drinks and food. Tables were left dirty and uncleared. Incorrect drinks delivered and food wasn't delivered as ordered. 12.5% discretionary service charge was added to the bill.

The location and the view was stunning. The staff were so helpful and very attentive. We went for Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Although missed the Yorkshire pudding on the chicken roast (although I know it's not exactly traditional!)

We have bene At the Trafalgar many Times during the years, and it's still a very charming experience. Food is English, and good. Very short wine list with good choices. Great view, and a memorable day

This was a return visit after many years away. The place was as good as I remembered. Excellent service and food. Especially the whitebait. Be sure to book in advance for Sunday lunch though.

Good food and setting, but service was not the best. The waiter did not know the menu enough to answer our questions and the waitress who brought out the food, just ignored us (she was in her own little world) when we requested some sauce.

The Trafalgar has a fine location, of which they perhaps don't make the best use. We were there 49 years ago for our first wedding anniversary and it was a wonderful experience. This week we were there close to our Golden Wedding and it was adequate- if pricey- but really just a posh pub lunch. You'd never know that Gladstone and Dickens dined there.

As always a fantastic riverside view with huge Windows letting in the weekends sun. Really friendly staff and great selection of food from large filling Plates to smaller varied option. And what seems like never ending whitebait.

Firstly, they got our booking wrong but they sorted that our fairly quickly so we were happy. We all ordered at the same time, food took over an hour to arrive. Two dishes however didn't arrive with the others and we had to wait another half an hour. The pub was busy but it wasn't full by any means. Roast dinner was okay, meat was nice with good crackly on the pork, potatoes were terrible. I had the ribs, they were okay sauce was out of a bottle and a bit claggy. We were there for three hours and managed to have one course so we didn't bother having dessert.

Wonderful, friendly service and a convivial atmosphere. This place is at the top of my list for informal family get-togethers. I had a few dietary requirements and these were catered for with a minimum of fuss. Many thanks to the staff at The Trafalgar!

Normal pub grub menu, but we had the cottage pie which was very tasty. The 2 ladies had desserts - sticky treacle pudding was excellent and the lemon and pink grapefruit posset gorgeous. The waiter was attentive without being overbearing. But best of all was the view of the Thames and as one of our party was an ex-lighterman brought back many memories. Would certainly make a return visit.

Not cheap but you're paying for the riverside location. The food was ok although vegetarian choices are still limited. There's a good choice of beers and a slightly less good choice of ciders.

Was really disappointed at the food and service from the tavern on this occasion. Having already pre-warned them of having a food allergy, the kitchen staff were awful and provided me with very little in the way of alternatives. The waiting staff were really helpful and apologetic but did not know anything about my allergies. When the good turned up, although the burger was nice, the roast potatoes (as alternative to the chips originally) were cold and dry. The meal also did not turn up with any of the salad listed on the menu and after asking, the kitchen staff eventually obliged me with a limp salad they then told me was "on the house"!! The meal was horrendously expensive and not worth it at all. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, regardless of allergies.

A great place that seeps history. Not sure that the service was as good as it should have been but the Whitebait and Fish and Chips were top notch and the beer well kept. Watch out for warm white wine!

Nice pub with a view on the river. We shared a Roast chicken between 3people and there was plenty to eat. A friend chose the pork ribs and was impressed with the size of them. We sat in the pub area as we came early and our booked table in the restaurant wasn't available yet. But it was great.

We took Italians there with a view to impressing them. i think we achieved that. The waterside location is sensational. The food is good and served piping hot. Members of staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed. Service is a little slow but it's obviously a very popular place.

We have to wait more than 1 hour to be seated, the manager in charge was careless about the cue of people at the door waiting to be served, no apologies or any good willing gesture from him, however, an amazing young waiter was looking after us ( he should be the manager)

The menu offers relatively limited choices but there is a good mix of options. We all started with whitebait (always enough for two) and it's some of the best, cooked with just a light coating of flour so the fish is not overwhelmed. Three of us had fish and chips, one had the risotto, one the special steak and ale pie (puff pastry, alas for me who is a short crust fan, but our guest loved it) and my husband had the steak. Everyone commented on how good it all was. The wine list is adequate and we chose a bottle of surprisingly good South African Chenin Blanc for the fish and a glass or two of Malbec for the meat-eaters' second course. The service was very good as usual, friendly, helpful and efficient, but I would have been even happier had they somehow managed not to bring the second course while we were still finishing the first, and not to begin clearing the second course while one person was still eating. We go here two or three times a year - whenever we take visitors to Greenwich and sometimes even on our own - and will keep doing so.

Although a lovely pub, our food took one hour to arrive from time of order, we then received 2 wrong order's and a 3rd order got completely missed which meant waiting a further 20 minutes for meal's to be corrected and to arrive. Food quality was not as good as in previous visits. Disappointing.

Prompt service, amazing views, really good atmosphere. Very busy so always advise booking. Because of how busy the kitchen was, we waited a lil while for both food and desert. But complimentary glasses of wine for the two of us was a perfect gesture. Recommend to Families, Couples and Smaller groups if eating on a Sunday. A* service.

The bar man accidentally knocked a pint all over me, don't get me wrong he was apologetic but no offer to make this up was made, leaving me with a wool coat which stinks of beer.
