About Glassblower
Historic pub on 2 floors in former glassblowers' workhouse, serving cask ales and British pub grub.
Once a workhouse, this pub consists of a wedge-shaped room with the bar against the far wall. There is a large lantern hanging from the centre of the beamed ceiling, and high tables and chairs. The first floor dining area, with its own bar, can be hired for functions.
The large food menu includes kids menus, Sunday roasts, veggie options, sandwiches and toasties. Post-Covid the ale handpumps have reduced to two.
As at October 2022 it was reported that the previous CAMRA-member discount was no longer available. Further updates welcome.
The pub seems to change its swingsign design frequently, see our various photos!

I really liked this Greene King pub. I was here on a damp Tuesday afternoon at 5pm and whilst it was not too busy it had a nice vibe to it. I opted for a double Woodford Reserve bourbon, taking advantage of the double up for £3 special offer (I paid £9.20 for the double, a single is £6.20. The service was excellent. I noticed two cask beers and many kegs. The whisky selection of 18 types was good. They offer a full menu of food in addition to small plates (£17 for 3 plates). The downstairs bar is quite dark whilst the bright, airy, spacious upstairs bar was a revelation. There is a small…

My impressions are only positive. I didn't taste the food, so I can't say anything. But I really liked the service, drinks and general atmosphere. Especially I noticed that it was not noisy and I could calmly talk with my friend and not shout over each other. Thank you💛💙

This place was very nice , was looking for something to eat and was recommended from another restaurant that wasn’t ready for service I loved it . I came all the way from Saint Lucia and I was surprised one of our local rums which is very popular in our country is listed on their menu . I had the lamb chops and some red wine which was just perfect service was quick and the staff are very welcoming easy going . If ever I visit London again I will definitely come again
