A Young's pub in Greenwich, in the Good Beer Guide.

A cosy locals' pub, known locally as "The Tolly" for reasons explained by the Young's website (it was once owned by the Tolly Cobbald brewery). It still has separate entrances for the saloon and public bars, the latter being larger with two big tables by the window and smaller tables running along the wall opposite the bar, which is between the two rooms. They share the same toilets at the back.

Outside is a decent-sized beer garden area, with plenty of umbrellas and canopies and well-maintained and decorated. There are plenty of tables, including one more than large enough for our party of 10 or so. There is a small BBQ area as well just by the back door.

They have four ales on handpump: Young's ordinary (£2.85/pint), Young's Special, Waggledance (also &2.85), and Bombardier.

Food is served noon-3pm and 6pm-9:30pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-9:30pm Sunday (though the blackboard on a visit in June 2008 gives food times as 10:30am-3pm and 6pm-10pm, but that may just be Saturday). Specials are garlic mushroom jacket potato (£4) and ham, egg & chips (£6). The former is perfectly decent for the price, comes with a few leaves of lettuce. Side salad, fresh enough, is an extra £1, but comes without dressing.

Sunday roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, and seasonal potatoes is £7 (from menu, June 2008).
