Meantime to open Greenwich restaurant
Meantime Brewery will mark its 10th anniversary in March with the opening of a new bar, restaurant, café and six-barrel brewery project at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London.
Appropriately named The Old Brewery, the venue rests on the foundations of an early 19th Century brewhouse, which used to supply the pensioners in the Royal Naval Hospital with their daily beer ration.
The Old Brewery will also act as Meantime’s experimental brewing workshop, producing their latest Belgian Abbey-style ale.
Due to open on 22 March, the café will serve Meantime beers along with British bistro-style dishes during the day, while evenings will see it transform into a restaurant serving dishes such as beer-cured salmon and chocolate beer sorbet.
In addition to the restaurant, the space will be used to display background and information on the Meantime Brewery Company, with a brewing history timeline, eight giant copper beer tuns, and bottles suspended around the room.
The development forms part of a £6 million refurbishment by Discover Greenwich of the visitor facilities at the Greenwich World Heritage Site.
