KG Hospitality and Meantime Brewing Company to launch The Dial – Home of Meantime at Greenwich Peninsula this Autumn


KG Hospitality and Meantime Brewing Company are set to unveil an ambitious new venue this autumn: The Dial – Home of Meantime, a three-floor destination combining a working micro-brewery, restaurant, sports bar, and live music space.


Located at Greenwich Peninsula, just a few short steps from The O2 and North Greenwich Station, the expansive site will also feature a large outdoor terrace and the 360° Bar, a stunning rooftop space with panoramic views, designed as the perfect setting for corporate events, private parties, and special occasions.


Born in Greenwich in 1999 in founder Alistair Hook’s flat, Meantime has been at the forefront of the UK craft beer movement for more than two decades. The Dial will honour that heritage while looking firmly to the future, bringing innovation, collaboration, and creativity to every pour.


Operated by KG Hospitality, The Dial – Home of Meantime adds to a growing portfolio that includes Pop Brixton, the iconic Amazing Grace, London Bridge, and the recently opened Amazing Grace, Canary Wharf. Together, the two most recent launches represent an investment of over £1 million into London’s entertainment scene.


At the heart of the venue will be a 6HL micro-brewery producing fresh, experimental beers, including collaborative brews alongside revisited classics from Meantime’s archives.


Launching this October, The Dial – Home of Meantime will bring together bold menus, live sports screenings, a weekly live music programme, and versatile event spaces, offering something for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.


Sven Hartmann, Meantime Head Brewer, said:“Meantime was founded in Greenwich with the goal of changing the way people thought about beer. At The Dial – Home of Meantime, we’ll take inspiration from that history to keep pushing boundaries in style and flavour.”


Vineet Kalra, Founder, KG Hospitality, said:“‘The Dial – Home of Meantime’ marks an exciting new chapter for KG Hospitality. It’s our fourth concept and a space shaped by its location and community. We’re proud to be partnering with Meantime, a brand that shares our commitment to quality and craft.”


Laura Flanagan, Director, Greenwich Peninsula, said:“The Dial – the Home of Meantime is an exciting addition to our growing neighbourhood at Greenwich Peninsula. A local business driven by innovation and aligned with our core values, and we look forward to welcoming them. The Dial will offer residents, businesses, and visitors alike a new hub for great food, drinks, and live entertainment.”
