Online booking was easy; we were made very welcome by friendly staff; service was excellent and attentive; the Sunday roast was tasty, served hot and good value. This a lovely, relaxed restaurant by the Thames and deserves it's success.

Prompt service, amazing views, really good atmosphere. Very busy so always advise booking. Because of how busy the kitchen was, we waited a lil while for both food and desert. But complimentary glasses of wine for the two of us was a perfect gesture. Recommend to Families, Couples and Smaller groups if eating on a Sunday. A* service.

Our whole roast chicken (intended for 2 to 3 people) could have done with a few more roast potatoes. We had to place an extra order.

Lovely venue. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and very pleasant staff. All food was very nice - although a few problems with timings and temperature of food. But everything was swiftly and amicably rectified. Would definitely return again.

Friendly service, food was good, nice table, salmon was really good. Chips a bit too thick Get your heating sorted, you don't need radiators on in the summer, get a decent plumber in and you could save yourself some money.

Delicious food & good service but they forgot to put our order through on the computer which meant we had to wait 50mins for our starter.

There's something splendid about standing in those great rooms so full of history and yesterday was full of brilliant sunshine so our view over the river was bordering on spectacular. The staff were, as ever, excellent (and tolerant). The whitebait was, as ever, delicious (but I keep forgetting how much of it is served!) The mains were average, but not bad. The wine list is rather limited and could do with some expansion in our view, but the quality of the wines we chose (a 2015 Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and a Malbec, from I can't remember where) was good. It's one of our favourite places to take friends, so we'll be back again.

There are six white wines on offer. We ordered the sauvignon. They said they had run out. We ordered prosecco and they said they had run out. It wAs a birthday dinner. Embarassing for me. We orderd champagne at £65 abottle. They reduced the price of one bottle by £20 as compensation. Please up yoyr game! This is an important location and restaurant. V disappointed

I was already a fan of this riverside pub in Greenwich and my visit didn't disappoint the food was great and the service was lovely. My only comment was with the booking system. I originally called to book a table in the restaurant for 2 at around 3pm and was told that they didn't have anything available that afternoon but I could come and sit in the bar area. I then went online and realised I could book via the website and thought I would try my luck. Somehow I was able to book online at the same time with no problems...Maybe I will just book through the website in future. Overall it was a really nice lunch.

Very attentive staff. Excellent portion size. Lovely location. Tip is to book a table for after 6:30pm so you can park on the road itself.

Supposed to be dog friendly, does not make it clear on website they cant be in restaurant side, I did ask that question when I booked, however I never got a reply. We were allowed to dine in the bar area, short staffed, a long wait to be served, tired scruffy looking decor, we won't be returning.

We had an pleasant meal with friends from Sweden. It was lovely to overlook the river. They moved us to a bigger table as there was 6 of us, even though they were busy. The Sunday roasts, pork & Turkey were large portions & very filling. Service was polite & efficient. They were very accomodating of the children, offering child size portions of any meal on the menu - they came out as small adult portions! Good value for money. I'd definitely recommend The Trafalgar.

Called in Saturday night ,despite there been a wedding on the service was quick and attentive. My Lady had the whitebait which was a huge portion Main course for me was the Chicken and Mushroom Pie a piping hot big feast of chicken cooked in an enamel pie dish and a light pastry lid.The hand cut chips were cooked to perfection with a side dish of sugar snap peas,broccholi and carrot all cooked al dente. A good selection of Ales and wines. We tried a pudding of Chocolate brownie and Honeycombe icecream between us but could not quite finish it !!! In my experiance food down The Big Smoke is hit and miss ,this is a HIT... right on the river and tastefully done out to boot

Food was great. setting is fantastic overlooking the thames. Service is the only thing that knocks it from a 6 out of 6. Waiter struggled to be clear when taking our order. Then two dishes came out and the third didn't. When we enquired they said it had been taken to another table by mistake. Overall great just frustrating delay when we were very hungry.

On the plus side, the whitebait was delicious and the wine was tasty and reasonable. We enjoyed our meal and didn't feel at all rushed even though plenty of people were turning up in the hope of getting a table. On the minus side, we called in person before the meal and were told we could have a window table - that didn't happen (however, the MD was both polite and apologetic and gave us a complimentary bottle of wine for the inconvenience). Also, the steak was a bit chewy.

Prices a little on the high side but the food was delicious. Whitebait and the stuffed chicken breast I would certainly have again. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. They were attentive and I was glad as one of our party was enjoying his birthday treat. The Trafalgar has always fancied itself as something special. Possibly because of its position on the river. However,the restaurant is part of a noisy pub. Having said that we had a very good evening and the food was excellent!

we have waited for our dishes more than 50 min. when the dishes finally arrived the meat was cold. Poor quality in general. I had fish&chips and fish was very greasy. it was not the first time we went, but we just wanted to give it another go. I am afraid it is not worth it.

Roast dinners are very over priced, not very hot service and the toilets are gross. Amazing area and could be so much better! Trying to be a Gastro pub with shoddy interiors, and chain pub service.

We were a party of four and had the seabass, rack of lamb, sausage and mash and pork belly. All the dishes were very good. We also had deep fried whitebait for starters and they were super fresh and tasty, and not at all oily. Service was very quick, warm and friendly. The maitre d, Aldo, went out of his way to find us a table by the window for us to enjoy the view of the Thames at night. The room is very pleasant, with high ceiling, charming pictures on the wall and lovely soft colours. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was terrible, tasteless, overdone and below average. for £15-16 main course i would expect a better quality. Service was nice but staff in the kitchen clearly was waiting for us to leave as we were the last customers in the restaurant. Bad choice of venue for a meal.

The service was very good. The food sometimes lacked in quality of cooking or ingredients (i.e. Scampi). Menu choices are standard and very similar across any other pub/restaurant, so there was nothing particularly new to try. Overall the table was happy and appreciated the food (in particular the steaks) and the the drinks. The environment and the atmosphere were very good as well: classy, stylish, rich in history, nice riverside view.

What a lovely old and indeed historical venue to enjoy a sumptuous meal. We had the Sunday Roast (beef) followed by the Trafalgar Mess for dessert. Very well presented and tasty. Good service.
