Trafalgar Tavern - Menu

Very nice sunday lunch....and excellent beer I might add...and it's on the river in Greenwich. What more could you ask for?

Fabulous views of the Thames and really appreciate the window seat. The food and service are great too. I would definitely recommend it.

The restaurant overlooking the Thames is beautiful and romantic. But watch the prices as they add taxes and charges of 12.5% making it an overpriced place.

Good food, nice location, good atmosphere in a busy but not crowded restaurant. The service was very friendly, extremely accommodating and very, very polite made a big difference.

I had a birthday party there, it's great atmosphere, very British and not too casual, not too formal. There was a wedding reception going on at one of function rooms, looks brilliant.

The thing that I enjoy most about the Trafalgar is the light that come in off the Thames, passing through the large bay windows and flooding the restaurant. Its invigorating, that and the meandering muddy river. The food has always been good here, meat and fish, but being by the river I also go for the fish, and am never disappointed. In my opinion the specialty here is the White Bait, washed down with a pint. The staff are usually very accommodating and helpful too, so I have no complaints. I'm a regular and will continue to be.

Starters were good though the quantity of black pudding overwhelmed the flavour of scallops. Of the mains the salmon was ok but could have been hotter. A rib eye steak was returned having been ordered medium, but served rare oozing blood, another medium steak was perfectly cooked and presented . A side order of new potatoes was served on a cold plate and was only luke warm , as the meal progressed they rapidly cooled , we left 1/2 the serving. We had a fabulous window seat with viesw of the river, the decor was interesting and the venue was in a superb position, the fact the central light fittings had been removed and the wiring left poking through the ceiling detracted from the ambience.

The Trafalgar Tavern gives you huge portions of Sunday lunch. It gives you huge portions of most things (the fishcake starter is main course size) but especially of Sunday lunch. To be fair, they warn you: the menu tells you that the roast chicken is half a roast chicken, and it is. But there's quality as well as quantity: the meat and vegetables are carefully sourced and cooked. And views of the river, too. The only caveat is that it's a pub, and a popular one. The restaurant part might have serious-ish gastropub furniture and glassware, but the atmosphere is pub. If you're worried that it might be too pretentious for your family get-together, don't be. Just don't go expecting library-like...

After many excellent meals at the Trafalgar Tavern, last Sunday lunchtime was a slight disappointment because it was a bit below par. I have never seen the place so crowded however our table was ready on time and the service as attentive as ever. However, the meal was a little less excellent than usual. One friend had to send back her French Fries because they were leathery and cold (the replacements were excellent) and the taste of my roast beef was completely overwhelmed by the overpowering strength of the gravy. If we had never eaten at the Trafalgar Tavern before we would have been very happy with the meal that we had there but we had, so we were a bit disappointed. But it was a very bus...
