Went to the Deptford Project for breakfast today - full english v good. Staff were friendly and the layout of the cafe was good. There is also a decked outside seating area. Good range of sandwiches, salads and jacket potatoes.

Next door to the Market Porter, this place roasts small, fancy sausages in the evening and serves them in a roll with roasted vegetables and (optional) chilli sauce. They don't serve booze but they're happy to let you eat in with a pint from next door.

I tried this place for the first time today. Excellent design, lovely outdoor space, and well-made coffee from sustainable sources. It's outrageously cheap for London (70p for a cup of tea).

And Deptford X art projects were installed around the carriage, which was perfect for a post-caffeination browse.

The Roxy on Borough High Street is possibly a perfect destination. In essence it is a bar with a full size cinema screen that has a varied and interesting programme and an audience that is interested in what's on and buzzy and chatty the rest of the time. The food they serve is okay, possibly the weakest thing, though both food and bar service is friendly and helpful. If you're looking for something interesting to do when you meet up for a drink check out the programme here.

The beer garden is cute little court yard out the back and is a great summer escape, in the winter the warm and comfy interior is still a winner. the wine is good, but the micro brewery and imported beers are the reason to go! Always a winner! Usually packed!

I had heard of this place a while back but only managed to visit it today...oh dear this has the potential to be a legendary venue in London. Firstly though, its a fantastic concept and location with fantastic food but it is totally let down by a bad layout, (i had to move everytime a waitress went past!!!) staff that are too busy eating their own lunch (in between serving!!!)to deliver the food and very unconscientious servers. I dont mean to be harsh but I really love Deptford and have been working and studying here for the past 7 years and was so excited about this and feel that with a little bit of thought and care this could be a real gem that we all could be very very proud of however as a first time visitor I found little that made me want top return again !!!! :((
The food and beverages were excellent though and will return only to see if any changes are made to make it a really memorable experience.
Would have got more stars if i didn't have to move everytime the waitress went past!!!!!

The Union in Greenwich has a lot going for it. Firstly, it's on Royal Hill, which is pretty much the nicest part of Greenwich in my opinion - there's another great pub next door, a proper old-style butchers, deli, fruit shop etc. Plus it's right next to the park. Secondly, it's a pub from the award-winning Meantime brewery, - you won't find any Fosters or Becks here. Plus, these beers are all ace - my favourites are the Wheat beer and the Raspberry beer. Thirdly, it has a really great garden with loads of benches and heaters - perfect for lazy summer afternoons, or if you smoke. The food I've tried isn't outstanding but is good quality pub food. The only problem is it's wildly popular with Greenwich Uni students so can be mobbed on the weekends.

I often like to go out and get a 'proper' coffee during the day. Having tried all the coffee shops I could find in Greenwich and being disappointed with most of them, I'd resigned myself to having to go to Starbucks to get anything half decent.

Now I'm glad to have found an independent coffee shop that serves one of the best lattes I've ever tasted. The service is always friendly, the music is great and the double chocolate Byron Bay cookies are far too addictive.

Give it a go you wont be disappointed, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced and ooh that coffee, well worth it just for that.

Tried this for cake and tea on a sunny sunday afo. The walnut and coffee cake was great, pot of tea not bad (although no hot water to top it up) and a nice atmosphere.

The Greenwich Union is my local of choice, offering awesome beer from the Meantime Brewing Company (and others), an excellent lunch menu, and a garden out the back.

Small-but-perfectly-formed best describes Cafe @ Beehive. There are about four seats inside and a couple of tables out front, but the real reason for going there is the coffee, supplied by London Coffee Roasters, which makes for some of the best I've tasted in the UK. The Flat White is tasty, not bitter and packs a wake-up punch that's perfect for getting you going on a saturday walk around Greenwich. Also, it's inside a wonderful vintage records, clothing and furniture emporium, so the music is fantastic too.

Just a brilliant, brilliant place to go for a drink. It does get extremely busy, both inside and out so not really some where to go for a swift, cheeky Sussex half but if you've got the time (and patience) to wait to get served (not criticism of the service, just reflects how popular it is) then it is well worth it. One of my greatest pleasures is a wander through the market, maybe picking up something to eat on the way through, a pint of Harvey's Sussex best from the Porter and an hour or so spent outside, chatting in the sun, soaking in the sights, smells, and sounds of the market. London simply doesn't get any better than this.

I went here with a friend as part of a promotion with Beefeater gin, the venue had created a special London-themed cocktail. The bar has a free screening room at the back, that was showing Borat when we visited. The barman was really friendly, explained the drinks to us, and the cocktails were expertly mixed. This is a lovely addition to Borough High Street, and we'll definately return.
