The Guard House

Description

A charming and friendly pub.

Found in the heart of old is a previous army barracks Young's have transformed this rustic space into a modern, chic gastropub, with the new addition of the elegant glasshouse. However, all the while retaining the authenticity of a military officers mess with cosy leather armchairs and sofas at the heart of the original structure. 

Set between a selection of dining rooms, laid-back drinking areas and bars, The Guard House has gone out of its way to become one of the most attractive pubs in Woolwich.

Not only can you expect a roster of traditional London pints and craft bottles,  The Guard House prides itself on only using the best of British seasonal produce they can get their hands-on, to design our quintessentially British menu. They have you covered in every sense, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or perhaps something off their burger shack menu.
