The best Restaurants in Plumstead

Away from the overcrowded and overpriced restaurants of central London, pioneering restauranteurs are discovering a growing appetite for good food in SE18.
 
Supercharged by the upcoming Crossrail station and the Royal Arsenal development, both Woolwich and Plumstead have witnessed a wave of exciting new restaurants setting up shop alongside long-established favourites.
 
When it comes to eating out in SE18, Woolwich offers without a doubt the widest range of options. The town centre has the Blue Nile (Eritrean injera and stews), Viet Baguette (pho, summer rolls, Vietnamese grill), Kailash Momo (Tibetan) and the Woolwich Equitable (gastropub with a modern English menu) founded in 2014.
 
The Royal Arsenal site is home to Con Gusto (artisan Italian), The Taproom (sourdough pizzas and craft beer) that opened in 2015 and SohMarie’s monthly pop-up supper club at the Cornerstone Café.
 
Woolwich is used to getting all the buzz, but what about its next door neighbour Plumstead? Here’s a brief overview of a couple of the restaurants worth checking out:
 
The Red Lion
Refurbished gastropub with a garden in Shooters Hill. With a range of ales on tap, this friendly pub’s menu features tapas-style snack plates (Crispy salt & pepper squid, honey & balsamic chorizo, sweet chilli halloumi), burgers and pub classics. Perfect for a lunch after a stroll in the nearby Oxleas Wood.

Plumstead Pantry
Right by Plumstead Common, this inspired foodie venture went from pop-up to permanent in 2015 and quickly became focal point for the local community. The ingredients are locally sourced and the innovative modern European menu changes frequently. Expect exceptional food without the central London price tag.

Capital Noodle Bar
This long-established no-frills canteen-like Chinese restaurant on Plumstead Common Road offers a surprisingly tasty, wide-ranging menu covering all the classics. It’s also easy on the wallet with the mains ranging between £5-7.
