It’s “hard to find better beers in London”, says fans of this converted brewery within the old Naval College – “a great-looking place with big copper vats”, and “a huge sun trap terrace”; it’s proving a “very useful addition to Greenwich” even if the food – burgers aside – is “not massively special”.

“The fish may come from Billingsgate Market these days, but the traditional Greenwich whitebait dinner is enjoying a revival, thanks to an appealing new venture from local brewers Meantime”, the critic tell us. The site of this meal is “an impressive chunk of riverfront real estate”, which only the Wapping Project, “housed in a converted power station a couple of miles upriver, can rival the room for sheer wow factor”. And the food is never less than “decent”. “Whether you're a jaded Londoner, or a tourist planning a river trip, I can't think of many better options than dinner at the Old Brewery.”

A review of a “microbrewery, pub and café-diner in part of the newly refurbished Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich”, offering “unusual artisan” beers from the Meantime Brewing Company, plus some 50 other beers on draught or bottled. The self-service café , which at night transforms into “a smart and very atmospheric restaurant”, offers an enjoyable Modern British menu, with mutton braised in ale proving particularly noteworthy. “It was good enough to made you proud to live in the nautical nation once ridiculed by its neighbours for being overly fond of meat and two veg”.
