About the Vibe
The Pelton Arms is your go-to spot in East Greenwich for proper pub vibes with a serious food upgrade. Locals know the real deal is the Wandercrust wood-fired pizza—skip the fancy stuff and just get the Margherita or the American Psycho, both have that perfect chewy, blistered crust. It's also legendary for live music (book ahead if you want a table on band nights), and if you're after a quiet pint, the old-fashioned pub feel works just fine for a relaxed evening.

Solid pub with legendary pizza and live music
The Pelton Arms is the kind of pub you keep coming back to because it just gets everything right. The Wandercrust pizza is genuinely some of the best in London—chewy dough, blistered crust, and a tomato base that actually tastes like tomatoes. Don't overthink it: Margherita or American Psycho, both are solid. The atmosphere is comfortable and unpretentious, with that old-school pub feel that's hard to find these days.
Live music is the real draw here, especially on Wednesday Wayward Wednesdays and weekend shows. It gets packed, so if you're serious about seeing a band, book ahead or be prepared to perch on the wall outside overlooking the river. The staff are friendly, the drinks are decent, and it's a proper local haunt rather than a tourist trap. Perfect for a laid-back night out without the pretension.
