Welcome to Richard The First

Located on the historic Royal Hill, a stone’s throw away from the centre of Greenwich, and only 400m from Greenwich DLR station. The Richard the First is proud to have been at the heart of the local community since 1923.

Upon entering you are greeted by the traditional bar space which is the heart of the pub. To the rear of the pub you’ll find our stunning conservatory, a relaxing drinking and dining space showered in natural light. Beyond that, our beautiful beer garden. A large, open space bathed in sun during the summer and covered by our winter marquee in the winter.

We specialise in Young’s award winning ales, craft beers, and delicious, nostalgic British food. We are the perfect location for a relaxed post work drink or a family and friend gathering.

We want the Richard The First to be your home away from home, Team Richard First look forward to welcoming you very soon.

Get involved

The food was excellent, our group of French photographer friends remarked on it! Se we were a group of 26. Our waitress was very attentive making sure we all had what we wanted. It was lovely to be seated in the dining area and be in no rush so that we could sit and chat over our meal all evening. As it was our last evening together, after a 3 day visit it was a perfect spot. So thanks Sam, Bradley and Kritzstina for your cheerful service Thank you again Reka for putting together a menu for us which catered for everyone and including drinks and coffee was great value. I shall certainly recommend the Richard ! to other people.
