About Us

The Guardhouse is a unique place located in the heart of the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich. We as a team strive to deliver excellent customer service whilst delivering great food and beverages. We are famous for our Sunday roasts, which are enjoyed by all the family. I have over 12 years of experience in hospitality and in Woolwich, giving me great local knowledge on how to provide our fabulous locals with the environment they want: to enjoy a cold pint at the end of the day on our terrace, or lunch with the family with two function rooms to hold a special event. We love dogs, so much that our lovely pub dog can’t wait to make new friends too!

I have been working for Youngs for over 12 years, so I know just how to build great teams. I love to have a great mix of people and offer a day off for their birthday with pay after a busy shift and smashing everyday targets. I run by the motto "Together Everyone Achieves MoreTEAM!" We like to help each other and really have that great team spirit from both the Front of House and Kitchen teams. My vision for this team is to grow with Guardhouse and make it a fabulous place to work and a place you want to bring your family and be proud to say I work at the Guardhouse.
