Your local Greenwich pub

Jamie and the team welcome you to Richard the First; our gorgeous pub located on the historic Royal Hill, a stone’s throw away from the centre of Greenwich, and only 400m from Greenwich DLR station. 

Our dog-friendly pub is proud to have been the heart of the community since 1923, where our neighbourhood comes together to enjoy everything our pub has to offer. From guest ales to craft beers, our team is on hand to pull you the perfect pint. Not to mention our impressive collection of fine wines and premium spirits. Our nostalgic menu will transport you back to when the entire family was gathered around enjoying mum’s home-cooked meal and a classic Roly Poly for dessert!

Summer Set Menu

There’s one more reason to swing by your favourite Greenwich local this summer — our brand-new set menu. Think two courses for just £18, or three for £22 (because yes, you do deserve dessert).

It’s a sunshine-filled celebration of the season’s best British produce — from Suffolk’s Dingley Dell gammon and Fowey mussels to golden St Ewe’s eggs and juicy Isle of Wight tomatoes.

Available Monday to Thursday.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place for beers and food. Generally book a table here to watch six nations every year. Always feel welcome and I keep going back.

Six Nations

A lovely family pub with a large heated garden. If you look from the outside it looks small, but the pub itself is very large. The food was very tasty and the portions were very generous.

A lovely family pub

We’ve been going to this pub since we moved to Greenwich 2 years ago. The place it is very nice. The garden it is cool, and friendly environment. And it has one of the best burgers and roast on my opinion. Their burger is epic
