The décor is coolly casual, with whitewashed walls, stripped wood floors, dark wood bar with a dozen seats for noshing and drinking, and scads of natural light. The Greenwich Picturehouse is in the same building, so dinner and a movie won't require a change of venue. 'Simplicity' best describes the menu with seasonal British favourites like starter of eggs Benedict, main course of roast Lancashire suckling pig with quince sauce and sprout tops, and dessert of steamed marmalade pudding.
