On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Jordan and I went on a trip to Greenwich for some grub.
We walked along the Thames and through lots of autumn leaves to get to the Meantime Old Brewery, situated inside the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College.
Jordan and I headed straight for the bar to order some drinks,
with 50 different beers to choose from!
Jordan ordered the Brewery's own fresh lager.
And I went for the less beer-y tasting Belgium
beer; Lindemans Framboise, a very sweet raspberry flavour.
We then walked next door into the cafe.
The ceiling is decorated with hundreds of hanging beer bottles,
large beer brewing tankers line one of the walls and on another there is a historical timeline of the brewery.
By daytime it serves as a cafe and in the evenings, a restaurant.
We sat ourselves in a booth and looked hungrily at the menu.
After much deliberating, we chose devilled whitebait to start..
A close up was definitely needed..
With a delicious lemon mayonnaise to dip.
Then our mains arrived..
Jordan chose the big, meaty Angus beef burger with crispy hand cut chips.
I chose the Meantime Lager battered cod and chips...
Both were delicious!
After all the food and the beer, we went for a walk around Greenwich.
The Old brewery is right next to the Cutty Sark.
A passer-by informed us that the ship was also known as a tea clipper - transporting tea from China. (You learn something new everyday).
Our walk around Greenwich was cut short, as the weather became increasingly more wet,
(plus our parking ticket didn't have much time left either!)
so we had to hurry back to the car and into the dry.
For more information or if you want to visit The Old Brewery, have a look at their website:
P.S. On Mondays it's Rib Night. A rack of delicious ribs, sides and a beer for £15!
