Pub of the Week: The Spanish Galleon, Greenwich

The Spanish Galleon is a traditional pub in Greenwich, just a short walk from the Cutty Sark. The building, which survived both world wars with just minor damage, was designed and built by architect Joseph Kay in 1834.

Today, it is a thriving pub at the heart of the local Greenwich community, welcoming regulars, residents, local sports clubs, and the area’s many visitors, for a refreshing drink and bite to eat.

Inside, the pub is bright and airy, with a distinctive maritime theme, and a wealth of artefacts, naval maps and other information around the pub, illustrating its interesting history.

The Spanish Galleon is different to most pubs, in that it has a fish and chip shop actually inside the pub! The popular shop serves both take away and sit in customers, with their popular Shepherd Neame beer battered cod & chips, scampi and other favourites.

In addition, the pub has a menu of tempting pub classics, such as steak and ale pie, ham and eggs, and steak and chips. There is a choice of sandwiches, and a children’s menu. On the bar, you will find a good selection of wines by the glass, cask beers and lagers.
