Narrative:
A 'hydraulic G engine 1 pump' low pressure message appeared on the ECAM. We followed the procedures to isolate the system. Dispatch and maintenance were contacted and it was decided to continue to ZZZ. We did a cabin advisory just in case the situation got worse. In ZZZ we turned the hydraulic pups on to lower the gear and have nosewheel steering. The landing was done by the first officer and without incident. We cleared the runway; stopped; and got towed to the gate.
