The Greenwich Union, A Meantime Pub
Tuesday, 23rd February 2010 | 6 Comments
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 was great, 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, an excellent pub 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?

Actually 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.

I 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.
