Jamie and the team welcome you to our much-loved neighbourhood pub perched on historic Royal Hill, just a short stroll from central Greenwich and a mere 400m from the DLR.
We’ve been the beating heart of the community since 1869, a place where neighbours become friends, dogs get fussed before their owners do, and everyone settles in for the kind of hospitality only a proper local can deliver.
Step inside and you’ll find carefully kept guest ales, craft beers poured just right, fine wines ready for swirling, and a back bar stacked with the good stuff.
Our menu leans into the classics, the kind of nostalgic, belly-hugging dishes that feel like home. Think roast dinners that anchor a Sunday and a sticky toffee pudding that could give any family recipe a run for its money.
Richard the First is, and always has been, a proper Greenwich local. Come on in, get comfy, and make yourself at home.

Get ready for proper pub grub done right. Our menu leans into the classics, those nostalgic, belly-hugging dishes that feel like home. Think roast dinners that anchor a Sunday, a cracking plate of fish and chips, and a sticky toffee pudding that could give any family recipe a run for its money.
Whether it’s a leisurely lunch or a cosy dinner, you’ll find generous portions, familiar favourites, and all the comfort of a good old-fashioned pub feast. And while you’re here, explore our line-up of spirits, well-kept wines, and proudly poured local craft beers, the perfect partners to any plate.

Sun’s out(ish), spritz in hand, that’s the vibe. Settle into a comfy corner or head straight for our pub garden in Greenwich and sip your way through our line-up of dangerously drinkable cocktails.
