Rivington Bar & Grill - Greenwich

Went for brunch post Big Half run. Going to be late so phoned ahead and that was totally fine. Staff greeted us warmly and as we were wanting brunch urged us to order asap which we did; grateful for their attentiveness. We both ordered poached eggs and bacon with a side of black pudding. Everything was delicious, couldn't fault it. However we both only got a semi circle of black pudding. This is charged at £2 each. When I queried with the waitress we were told that the portion size. Not close to value for money. Little bit disappointed by this which marred an otherwise great brunch. Recommend but perhaps be wary of additional unless the kitchen increase the portion size. Food fab, staff great and ambiance is nice.

Excellent fish here-- fresh caught whole lemon sole with capers, small new potatoes; monkfish and prawns in masala sauce over coconut rice. And of course wonderfully crafted gin drinks ( choose from some 270 gins). Many beef dishes as well. Gracious, friendly staff, lovely outdoor patio seating for warm days.

We arrived early for our reservation and took a seat at the bar. The friendly barman recommended a G&T from one of the 240+ gins they stock! It was subtle and refreshing and set the tone for our evening. We took our seat and the friendly waiting staff continued the good service. Recognising that my wife was pregnant they knew that some things on the menu weren't appropriate. What they did serve was surprisingly fresh and better quality than I'd expected. The bread that accompanied our food was equally good. It was a pleasant surprise in a world of chain restaurants to experience quality and unpretentious service. We'll definitely be returning.

The Rivington takes its menu seriously and delivers some of the best flavours in the neighbourhood. It’s the little touches here that elevate the flavour profiles of each plate; adding a hint of fresh mint leaves to mushy peas for example. It also boasts a deftly curated gin selection and the service team is remarkable. Perfect for any occasion.

Myself and my partner went here for a Valentine's meal and it was lovely. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. We shared the potted shrimps to start and then I had the Barnsley Chop and my partner had the Pork Tomahawk. Both were very good. Would go again for a special occasion. Menu on the pricey side but the quality is great.

Dined here on and off for the last 5 years - this restaurant has been consistently excellent. Not much has changed in that time, save for an expansion in the selection of gins - the quality of food and the service have been of a high standard throughout. Worth a look if you are in the area, perhaps call ahead to reserve a table as it can be popular.
