A characterful Castle pub on Vanbrugh Park between Blackheath and Greenwich Park, with hearty food, a function room and a rear beer garden.
The Royal Standard on Vanbrugh Park sits between the edge of Blackheath and leafy Greenwich Park, a short way from the Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark and the area's other attractions. The pub pairs classic British pub hospitality with individuality, character and a quirky charm, aiming to be a laid-back but memorable place to eat and drink.
Inside, traditional wood panelling meets plush furnishings and contemporary touches: a long bar lined with hand pumps, leather chairs, chesterfield seating and a dining area with exposed brick and tiled floors. The menu offers hearty, flavourful food including a Sunday set menu, with a varied drinks list behind the bar. You can order from your table, book online and buy gift cards. Live sport, including rugby, is shown,.
The Royal Standard is dog-friendly and has a private function room for hire. Its best-kept secret is the rear beer garden, a spot for lazy afternoons, eating outside or a drink in the sun. It's part of the Castle group of pubs and runs a festive programme over Christmas.
