I used to live in Greenwich and their head office and main bar was located there. I joined their "club" and managed to visit most of the then bars. The staff are all very knowledgeable and interested in the wine and the food is generally pretty good English "Fayre" - pea & ham soup, boiled ham with mustard, cheese plates etc. If you're in London Monday I'll see you in the CP in Covent Garden late afternoon.
