The Gypsy Moth

I stumbled on this place after a random ride on a ferry on the Thames. After seeing the Cutty Sark, the bf and I wanted a pint when we found the Gypsy Moth.
I like the classic décor and dim lighting. The place was decorated to look old and rustic, but it felt like an imitation. It was just too clean to be that old. There was a crowd there, but bf and I were able to find seating indoors. Honestly, it felt like a tourist trap and not a local watering hole.
There was a good selection of beers, but I happened to find the worst one. I wanted a beer with a slight fruit flavor, so I ordered a strawberry one they had on tap. It tasted like someone mixed strawberry flavored Fanta into an ordinary wheat beer. It was awful and I couldn’t finish it.
Would this be my first choice of a pub? No, but it’s not too shabby for a random find on an unexpected night stay in London.

Pros:
Amazing beer garden.
Amazing views.
Wide drinks selection.
What looks to be a large menu (never eaten here but I wouldn’t expect gourmet)
Central in Greenwich so great for a quick pint
Cons:
I don’t much like the ambience.
Feel a bit like a chain pub which I don’t like
I’m really not sure but I generally wouldn’t come here in the evenings. It’s hard to put a finger on it. Afternoon pint is great. I think I just don’t like the kind of place it is in the evenings.

This place has an amazing beer garden. Unfortunately its also very popular. So if you want to enjoy your wine or pint outside be sure to get here early.
We came on a Sunday moments before the kitchen was closing. The bar staff were very friendly and let us quickly put our orders in to the annoyance of the kitchen staff. I ordered the fish and chips which was decent.
This is also a good place for people watching as the crowd is a mixture of yuppies, faux-​hipsters and the local community.

This pub is situated in a great location right opposite the cutty sark and the Thames, is also Grade I listed building but on the inside it doesn’t look like it. I’m not really impressed with the décor It seems like they’ve tried to keep up with the times but unsuccessfully, luckily they have plenty of comfy sofas and chairs! So can you rest your legs from all the plodding around Greenwich you’ve done with your shopping bags! :D
What makes this a gem of a place is that you wouldn’t of expected it to have such a large beer garden from what looks like a narrow part of Greenwich! They even have an area where they have outdoor heaters to keep you cozy n warm if you brave it out in the cold to get away from the stuffy air inside when it’s too full and busy.
I’ve only been here for drinks and haven’t had the opportunity to eat there yet but will update this review when i do. They serve the regular pub food menu, changing specials and Sunday roast!
On the negative side service can be slow and it does get quite busy towards the weekend so good idea to go mid week when its quieter or before the evening kicks in as it can get pretty packed on Fri and sat.
Overall this place is great to meet up with friends or just relax with your partner as it has an unpretentious atmosphere and a wonder full beer garden to lounge around in the summer time.
