This weekend I finally made it The Greenwich Union, a pub that had been on my ever growing list of places to drink beer in London. I knew The Union was the brewery tap for the Meantime Brewing Company, so I expected good beer. What I did not expect was such outrageously good food. The homemade 28 day aged Angus burger made the top of London’s best burger, the chips brought things to a whole new level, and the crumbed cod fillet was the second best fried fish I’ve had all year (after the red snapper in Puerto Rico, of course). I just can’t get that fried cod out of my mind. It was luscious, moist, and meaty, with an exquisitely crispy casing. With delicious, varied local beer, a spectacular burger, and amazing fish and chips, I think The Greenwich Union may be the perfect pub.

Katie, I know this is essentially a food blog, but given that you were at a brewery tap, tell us more about the beer. Bitter? Mild? Porter? IPA? Surely not a lager? Can you tell I miss British beers?
February 24th, 2010 at 1:26 amActually it was a lager. The Greenwich Brewing Company’s Helles is a Bavarian style lager. It was very citrusy and hoppy and went quite well with the burger. Im eager to get back and try their other selections.
February 28th, 2010 at 4:18 pmI had the privilege of having a wonderful burger, at last in London. I was wondering where all the good angus was going, now i have a clue.
I did try the lager as well. To be honest, the Ales looked fantastic. next time.
Katie, Thanks for the suggestion.
