Lewis v. Hart.

This was an action to recover £10 for the repair of a cab, which it was alleged had been damaged through the negligence of the defendant's servant. The plaintiff was formerly a sheriff's officer, and the defendant is proprietor of the "Trafalgar Tavern," at Greenwich. The damage was said to have occurred while the cab was under the charge of defendant's ostler in the stables of the "Trafalgar Tavern;" but the evidence not being conclusive, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

PubSpy is back and reviewing the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich.

Well, it’s been a while. After months of laying off the booze and being no happier for it, I’ve reunited with my one true love – the great British pub.

And I couldn’t have picked a better setting to rekindle my love affair; at the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, on the River Thames, at sunset.

Mind you, it was a bit harder to enjoy the setting as I wrestled to lift my pint glass off the sticky table, but I digress.

I ended up switching tables halfway through my visit because a group of tipsy customers were having far too much fun on the table next to me. I always say: The best way to enjoy a pint is alone, preferably in a quiet corner.

If you were wondering, my pint glass stuck to the second table too - consistency is key.

The staff didn't grumble when I got up to move and they were perfectly friendly. Largely they left me alone to enjoy my pint in peace, which is exactly how I like it.

All in all, there’s no arguing with the beautiful décor. It’s been jazzed up a bit in a recent makeover but keeps its original features and paintings.

The light pink painted walls brightened the place up a bit and the loos are pretty swanky, which I didn’t expect.

I was impressed by the draught selection too – not necessarily enormous but a bit different to what you’d normally expect.

I was tempted by the Pilsner on offer, as well as an IPA I had never heard of (and couldn’t pronounce) but in the end I went for a good old Staropramen.

At just under a fiver, I dealt with the price. Not exceptionally cheap, but with a view like the one I had, I couldn’t complain.

Having said that, they were also expecting customers to shell out £6.50 for a pint of Rekorderlig, which is daylight robbery – or sunset robbery, as the case may have been.

I realised after a short while why the rowdy group of people enjoying themselves had felt so intrusive – at 7 o’clock in the evening, there was no music. None. Just me alone with my thoughts.

I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about that.

After ordering a burger to soak up the Czech lager (trying to drink responsibly these days) I waited for some time to be a bit disappointed. But it did the job.

Would I go back to the Tavern? Probably. It’s hard to say no to that location, but I think next time I’ll sit outside and opt for a kebab on the way home.

Décor: *** They’ve done it up nicely

Drink: ***** You cannot go wrong with a Czech beer

Price: *** For heaven’s sake, don’t be the person that pays £6.50 for a Rekorderlig

Atmosphere: *** I fail to understand why they couldn't stick on a Phil Collins LP at the very least

Staff: **** Quiet but friendly

Food: ** Burger was a bit tough. That's all I'll say.

Overall: ***

Pub removed wall without permission.

A 182-year-old Grade-II listed pub has had a wall removed in the middle of the building without the owners asking for planning permission.

Management of the Trafalgar Tavern in Park Row, East Greenwich – erected in honour of Lord Nelson’s famous naval victory – ripped out the partition to create an open plan room just before Christmas. But the move has infuriated conservationists and residents.

Zachary Osborne, conservation adviser from the Georgian Group, said: “The case is certainly very concerning.

“The recent works, which appear to have involved the removal of original internal subdivisions, have had a significant harmful impact on the character of the building, and the legibility of its original plan form and would certainly have required listed building consent.

“Regardless of whether any of the decorative finishes date to the post-war period, the lack of due process, oversight, and the entirely modern character of the present open-plan arrangement is unacceptable.”

Resident and pub user Chris Hales said he was horrified at the changes.

He said: “I love that pub. It’s a great pub. I wish it hadn’t happened.

“Before Christmas, the middle partition wall was removed and changed into an open plan. “The intricate plasterwork is gone and so is the historic look of nearly 200 years.

“It’s the centre of a heritage site and I’m amazed it could be done. It shouldn’t be done with or without permission. We are eating away at historic parts of Greenwich.”

A Greenwich council spokeswoman said: “Council officials visited the Trafalgar Tavern to identify what works had been carried out.

“Since the visit, our officers have been in communication with the owner and his planning agent, and we are waiting to receive a regularisation application for the work that has been carried out.”

A regularisation application can be made to the council after work is taken out to request permission from the council. Despite repeated requests, management of the pub have failed to make a comment.
