Oooh I thought I’d reviewed this place. OK then, I will now.

It’s one of the most popular places in Greenwich. And sometimes, it’s easy to see why. The beer garden is pretty great, especially if you get a table in the sun but it’s full of horrible rude people who think they’re cooler than everyone else. Despite the fact that they’re still students.

Louise is right, the beer is always off - except the most expensive. You can pay nearly four quid for a pint in here. It cost my five quid for a vodka and orange and they poured the orange juice out of the same cartoons they use in Wetherspoons. Maybe they walked to Russia to get the vodka or something.

It’s a shame that this place has such an attitude. It’s a nice looking pub. Tourists seem to like it and you’ll often get people telling you they’ve been in on a recent trip to Greenwich. Aside from students and tourists, who else goes in here?

I’ve never noticed the staff to be particularly rude, but they’re not exactly pleasant either. The food is too expensive for me too.

All this said, as I haven’t been in a while it might have changed - it could be brilliant now for all I know. I’m not exactly keen to go back, but I MIGHT just do it just for Qype…

i can’t say i care much for this place, it really is just not somewhere i enjoyed ever going. It is just one of them places that really seems to speak for itself, the lighting as you go in is dull and just already seems to give it that really unwelcoming invitation.
It is overpriced and the food is really horrible. The oval circualar shaped middle room opens it out and it is one part of this pub i don’t actually mind. But i really don’t ever see me going back even when i do pop in to greenwich.
Again the ’’early ushering in’’ has also been noticed by myself and obviously others on here. Definately makes me angry as i’m a smoker and lets face it, i’ve already been pushed outside….i expect to be able to sit down in a area designated yet the gypsy moth just seems to ignore this and penalise the smokers and the other people enjoying the outdoors are made to come in as well. Bit of a joke really as i wouldn’t expect my girlfriend to go outside onto the street of a night on her own to go for a smoke, and that obviously what other people are having to do…..I just think its wrong.

I completely can 100% say that this place is such a dive. The round circular open area is ok as you go through but thats about it. The Beer is usually off and you have to keep picking something else. The wine i had was appauling and had no nice taste to it one little bit. When i asked for maybe a different bottle, as they had in fact reccommended it, i was told no. They obviously wanted to get rid of some unselling stock and so they reccommended it. As a publican myself i was disgusted that they obviously found this ok to do.
The food i have also tried here and it was nasty. Cold and over cooked so i’m not even sure how they managed it.
Seriously the chicken i had was dry yet cold so it must have sat on a pass while cooling down ready and waiting to come out to me.
The service here was absolutely diabolical. I don’t use that word often so when i do, i know i really had a bad time.
I was sat somewhere near the back once when you could still smoke inside and me and four other friends were sat having a smoke when this guy who appeared to come from the kitchen who arrupted with shouting at us that we could not smoke there?!? There were ashtrays on the tables, which were infact dirty and hadn’t been cleaned all night, plus ashtrays on the tables all in this section. So…we moved. Apparently not quick enough. He then started shouting at us that either we moved or got out. Bare in mind i’m already up and have my belongings in my arms ready to move to another table….
It is safe to say that when i pointed out that there were ashtrays on all of the tables, plus no signs up saying 'no smoking’ and i really do mean none, he didn’t actually want to know, said that it wasn’t his problem and that we were to move at once. (well actually it was a problem obviously otherwise he wouldn’t of kicked off in the first place!)
Maybe just maybe he should’ve actually asked his staff who had putt them out in this area?
It obviously didn’t make any difference to him and he obviously enjoyed this and maybe saw it as part of a game as he retired back to his kitchen and left the ashtrays there….....
Funnily enough some other people sat there and recieved the same treatment. I felt like getting up and saying something but was told not to by my friends. I wish i had but never mind.
PLEASE please bare in mind i have been here just the once and all this happened in the same evening!

Good food, decently priced drinks, fantastic atmosphere - what more could you want?

There is a beer garden for smokers that is part-covered for rain. The decor is quirky but cool, you feel at home when you sit down with your drink and sink into the seats.

It also holds regular quiz night where you can win a decent amount of cash and luckily if you miss the last food order there are take-aways nearby where you can grab some much when the bar staff kick you out at closing time.

Poor Service, Overpriced, Lack of Night Security

Apart from the cold, undercooked food we had one afternoon we were there the title covers it all. Service is slow and often rude, the wine is expensive. This area, late at night, seems to have become a lot more scary since the cutty sark burned down. The second time I came to this pub with my mates was an evening a brawl broke out outside the front door (where smokers are now forced to stand - amongst the piles of butts as there is no bin). It broke up of it's own accord, no staff from the pub ever came out despite the scuffle involving several people, a beer glass being broken and the fight going on for quite a while. One guy left with blood streaming down his face. This is not millwall, I expected someone to calm the situation down.

I feel sorry for its advantages of good location and well space, services are way too much disappointing.

Gypsy Moth is one of those very first places I've visited in Greenwich and it could be the name that you often hear due to its fame.

By the fact that it's on a good spot in Greenwich, it's always busy -fair enough. It has a small lovely garden at the back but it would be easier to win a lotto than to grab a seat there - never mind.

Last time I was there, my friend took his bike into the garden, suddenly someone who seemed to be some sort of management told him off. The way he spoke to my friend was absolutely shocking...nothing but rude and too aggressive when there's no need for that. Of course, we left - realising that it's not the only pub in the village!!!

Five stars for the Gipsy? With this, I cannot agree.

Often extremely busy, this pub is well located but not well connected. I have often been served an undrinkable glass of house wine here and many times received poor service. Outside areas are ample for summertime, but being ushered inside early (for the benefit of local residents) can be frustrating on a light night. The pub is roomy and has a nice feel but is by no means the glory of Greenwich.

Never waste a whole night in here!
