Trafalgar Tavern is an iconic riverside pub on Park Row in Royal Greenwich, overlooking the Thames beside the Old Royal Naval College. Established in 1837, the Grade II listed building is filled with maritime paintings and artefacts that connect its dining rooms with Britain’s naval history. The Nile Restaurant, Collingwood Bar, terrace and characterful private rooms create settings for anything from a quiet pint to a celebration.
The seasonal menu begins with British pub dishes and seafood closely associated with the location. Greenwich whitebait has appeared here since the nineteenth century, while choices such as king prawn cocktail, dressed crab on sourdough and Boston clam chowder keep the river and coast prominent. Scotch egg, soup and changing vegetable plates add richer and lighter ways to start.
Beer battered fish and chips is one of the tavern’s best known classics, served alongside mains such as roasted fish, steak and kidney pie, bangers and mash, pork chop and a generous burger. Sunday roasts bring meat, potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy together for a traditional weekend lunch. Vegan and vegetarian dishes ensure the changing menu also works for mixed groups.
Desserts continue the familiar British direction with comforting puddings, fruit, ice cream and other seasonal choices. More than twenty local and national beers are available on tap, supported by a large whisky collection, an extensive gin selection, cocktails and wine. This combination of substantial pub food, historic rooms and uninterrupted river views makes the Trafalgar much more than a convenient stop during a day in Greenwich.
