I went for a meal here in January. I had a pizza which was very nice, my partner had the beef medallions which he said were superb. We had delicious garlic and olives at the beginning, on the house, a huge salad. Utterly delicious meal, very reasonable price. Extremely attentive staff, even the chef came out to ask how it was.
I'll be back!
A charming restaurant, kind and attentive staff. Very good food, great value. I'll definitely be back!
Customers thinking about going to The Hill, Royal Hill, Greenwich - I can't stress strongly enough how avidly you should avoid this place. Last night myself and my husband were thrown out of it; (a first for us, I must say!) by a member of staff/manager?/complete diva, who seems to think she is running Restaurant Marco Pierre White in the 1980s rather than a suburban gastro-pub. After waiting for over an hour for our main meal, we, (uncharacteristically for us, as we are typically British when it comes to complaining) - expressed some dissatisfaction - in a very few words - about the lengthy waiting time. She then told us in no uncertain terms to get out of the venue. It was both totally shocking, and after we had thought about it, really quite surreal....And actually a bit funny. She's the Basil Fawlty/Madonna/Mariah Carey of Royal Hill. But we will not be visiting The Hill again, any time soon.
The moment we walked in to the restaurant, or rather gastro-pub, (which incidentally we have visited several times before, as we live locally) at 8pm, and attempted interaction with this staff member, who we assume is the manager, we had the impression that she was boiling with anger and hostility. Sulking for England - she brought a whole new level to the word "curt". Doing away with any niceties such as "Hello", Good evening" or "Where would you like to sit?" she somehow manouvered us to a table with barely an acknowledgment - took our drinks order and brought us a bottle of wine and one of water all without eye contact. She splashed a token inch of water into the glasses, glugged some wine into the wine glasses and was gone, frosty, unsmiling, and really quite frightening.....
After some ten minutes or so a waiter came back and took our food order; a Thai prawn curry for me (£10.50) and a "Pan Fried Chicken Supreme" with creamed potatoes, mushrooms and leeks (£12.50) for my husband. This seemed an uncomplicated order - there was no mention of any special waiting
