The Guildford Arms

The Guildford Arms in Greenwich masquerades as a pub, which it is in all fairness, although it’s definitely more of a restaurant. It’s a fancy, village-esque situation set across two floors with a huge garden and a gastropub-y menu with red pepper and taleggio arancini, and halibut with butter beans and pickled fennel. During the week the restaurant draws a mixed crowd of couples, families, and groups of friends, but on Sunday it’s far more family-friendly. Plus the Sunday roasts are the main draw. Meats are served with all the trimmings, plus thin sauce that’s more jus than gravy. But it’s each roast’s side dish that really stands out. Think garlic and herb breadcrumbs with the chicken, or quinoa, sage, and apricot stuffing with the pork belly. Book an early table to make sure all the better options don’t sell out and take somebody you’re hoping to impress.
