The Gipsy Moth, Greenwich

God, it must have changed lots?? It was a great little pub 3-4 years ago when I lived down that way.

Ok...having read the above comments I am relieved to find that it was not just me and my friends who thought that this is possibly the worst pub we have ever experienced. It's a shame as the location and look of the pub promises so much. We visited last Sunday and found a table in the garden, ordered food and waited...and waited...and waited. Eventually a rather surly waitress (long curly brown hair, so avoid her) dumped two plates of cold food on the table. Then returned with cutlery which she also threw down on the table. We discovered that a blind man had washed the knives and forks as they were truly filthy. When challenged about this, she demaned that we hand them over, but stood there for mere seconds before storming off like a 14 year old in a tantrum. We were gobsmacked. Having gone and fetched our own cutlery we tucked into to our, quite frankly overpriced meals to discover that two of them were really cold. My sister took them back to the kitchen to complain and request fresh HOT food. We waited for a further 15 minutes before my sister went to find out what was going on and she discovered our meals just sitting on the servery, going cold again. The manager when spoken to was very rude and did not care at all that paying customers had a problem. The girl that served us (and I used that in the loosest of senses) had real issues and clearly was not a 'people person'. Why she was employed to deal with people is beyond me. The message is therefore clear...avoid this pub unless you want to wait ages for drinks served badly by uninterested bar staff, and overpriced cold food served at the leisure of incompetent and childishly rude waitresses. Oh, and the toilets were revolting...

This is a dreadful pub in a great location. It seems to be run by the manager's friends, none of who are any good at all at actualy serving drinks or food, which is a bit of a drawback. I have stood and waited to be served before, while barstaff stand and chat with each other, and then finally dispense dreadfully poured beer with little short of contempt. It shoudl be great, but it's little more than a social occasion for the staff, who are more concerned about how they look behind the bar, than serving anyone. I went there with a friend one lunchtime, at her insistence, a few months back, because it had had a 'make over'. We had some awful, over-priced food, which took forever to arrive and was delivered to our table in the garden without cutlery or salt and pepper. Whe we asked for some, the response was, and I'm not making any of this up "I'm run off my feet - you can get it yourself. It's just inside the door." On the way out, they asked us to fill out a 'feedback' sheet, to detail our visit, which we did, honestly, and as such didn't give it great marks. As we walked out of the beer garden, a bloke who I took to be the manager, came up behind us, with the sheets in his hand, tore them in half, and dropped them in the bin by the side of the pub. "That's what I care about your opinion..." he said. And that, in one, brief moment, just about sums up the service in this pub. Look at the number of people who all focus on the same problem. They're not all making it up...

This is a pub which, in theory, should have everything going for it. Great location, quite nice inside, excellent beer garden and decent food. Its badly let down however by the service which is unbelievably bad. Even on the rare occasions that the place is not rammed full of people, the service at the bar is still ponderous in the extreme. The staff, as mentioned elsewhere on this page, also have something of an attitude problem. One to avoid.

Well, I do agree that its rubbish but zero pints is a bit harsh. I'd maybe give it 2.
