The Market, Greenwich

our final review

last rating:

One might be forgiven for thinking that upon entering an establishment with such a name, one would be greeted by the sort of hubbub, colour and character one normally associates with market pubs. This, sadly, is not the case. In spite of the fact that Greenwich market was in full swing outside, the inside does not seem attract much of the passing tourism nor indeed many of the traders working nearby, perhaps this may be partly attributed to the pub's rather unappealing exterior. This (coupled with the curt, indifferent bar staff on the day of review) renders the atmosphere somewhat cold and hollow. On the plus side however, old church pews (remnants from the Firkin days), plenty of tables and the fact that the pub is split level, means there's always a good seat to watch the sport on the large TV screen opposite the balcony. Just make sure you bring someone to watch it with. (ex Funnel & Firkin)

Now a restaurant
