Certainly brought a big smile to my face and had the museum café been open then we would have stopped for a while. Even if you don’t feel like stopping for a beverage, you should still go if only to see the bottle!

Though not that cheap, this is well presented and produces tasty food and snacks. Staff willing and friendly. read more Though not that cheap, this is well presented and produces tasty food and snacks. Staff willing and friendly.

The café has plenty of space and the staff are efficient and polite. It has a modest range of food items, but I was after a coffee and cake: white coffee and a slice of coffee and walnut sponge £2.60 and £3.50 respectively). The coffee was very good and of good volume. The cake was a bit disappointing as it was rather dry and did not have many walnuts. Now their web page forbidden by rules to include the link) says that the food is freshly made so I conclude that the cake seems to have been made earlier in the day and left out to dry on the display plate. Perhaps the fruit cake might have been a better choice. Note there is a similar café with different cakes on the first floor I think that one it is slightly cheaper.

There are very few choices for vegetarians at this restaurant. There also doesn't appear to be a wide variety of options for non-vegetarians either. read more There are very few choices for vegetarians at this restaurant.

I had the hot lunch at £8.95. It was a stone cold vegetable stew, nobody had even bothered to put it in the microwave for a minute. It was served with dried out peas and carrots and stale garlic bread. The worst lunch I have ever had. The staff couldn't care less, nobody cleared the plates away from the tables, so we had to do it ourselves. Next time I will go into Greenwich for a meal. This place was disgusting and I wouldn't go back.
