A True Greenwich Local Pub
Richard I is a genuine Greenwich gem that feels like it’s been part of the community for generations. Located on Royal Hill, this traditional pub has maintained its old-school charm with wooden tables, hanging plants, and vintage photos adorning the walls. The beer garden is a standout feature in summer, offering a lovely spot to enjoy a pint while people-watching. The menu focuses on classic British pub fare—think hearty roast dinners, crispy fish and chips, and a sticky toffee pudding that’s definitely worth saving room for.
What really sets this place apart is its authentic local vibe. You won’t find pretension here, just warm hospitality and a steady stream of regulars who treat it like their second living room. The service is friendly and efficient, and the Young’s real ales are poured to perfection. It’s the kind of place where you can drop in after work for a quick pint or settle in for a leisurely Sunday lunch with the family. Dogs are welcome too, and they often get more attention than their owners—which is exactly the kind of charm you’d expect from a true neighborhood pub.

Richard I est un véritable joyau de Greenwich qui semble faire partie de la communauté depuis des générations. Situé sur Royal Hill, ce pub traditionnel a conservé son charme d’antan avec des tables en bois, des plantes suspendues et des photos anciennes ornant les murs. Le jardin est un point fort en été, offrant un cadre idéal pour déguster une pinte tout en observant la vie du quartier. La carte se concentre sur les classiques de la cuisine britannique de pub—des rôtis copieux, du poisson et des frites croustillants, et un pudding au sucre collant qui vaut vraiment le détour.
Ce qui distingue vraiment cet établissement, c’est son ambiance authentiquement locale. Pas de prétention ici, juste une hospitalité chaleureuse et un flux régulier de clients fidèles qui le traitent comme leur second salon. Le service est amical et efficace, et les bières Young’s sont servies à la perfection. C’est le genre d’endroit où l’on peut passer après le travail pour une pinte rapide ou s’installer pour un déjeuner dominical détendu en famille. Les chiens y sont aussi les bienvenus, et ils reçoivent souvent plus d’attention que leurs propriétaires—ce qui est exactement le genre de charme qu’on attend d’un vrai pub de quartier.
