Well i really dont know where these people who have left bad comments have been because i have been into the Three Magpies recently and all the staff are friendly, the food is great tasting for a good price. I was in this pub on Sunday 07th Sept 08 for an eveing meal and even though it wasnt 2 for £10 the meals were still cheap. I thought the standards from the staff and the pub we're excellent. 9/10 from me. Keep up the good work! See you shortly.

I visited this pub on afternoon of Sunday 17th August as I was staying down the road at the Ibis. I was with my fiancee who was flying back to the US the following day and my sister. We were very hungry and there is little choice around Heathrow Airport of good places to eat and drink. I ordered two large diet Pepsi's and an Appletize - £6.75. The two Pepsi's were very accurately poured over copious blocks of ice to around an inch and a half below the rim. A bad start. I then ordered 'Chilli Nachos for Two' at around £5.75 (pretty reasonable) for me to share with my sister. A small portion turned up! I really cannot believe the barwoman's claim that is was for two people. Also - NO CHILLI CON CARNE! "We ordered this with chilli and we ordered the two-person portion", I asked the barwoman. "That is the two-person portion and there's the chilli", she responded pointing to the guacamole! This pub unfortunately falls way short of even achieving the bare minimum quality of service you would expect from a run-of-the-mill pub. It just seemed like everything was just too much effort. I was with my American fiancee too, who is used to effortlessly exceptional customer service, so it was all rather embarrassing. I went back to my hotel instead and ordered a pepperoni pizza (which was as dry and tasteless as the box it probably came in), but that's for another bad review! When next in this area, I shall visit McDonalds!

It mades me feel sad that this pub has got a bad review. I have visted this pub for some time. They have got some very friendly bar staff, Both male and female. I always have a good time in this pub.
I noticed that the pub was clean and tide inside. That table s were clean, And the patio was clear of rubish.
The food was cooked well. And was good vaule for money. 2 meal £10. This pub gets bussy from time to time but you will always be welcomed in.

DISTGUSTING & DISHONEST PRACTICES....DO NOT GO! I was here on Friday 4th April 2008 and not only recieved short pints, but witnessed the barman twice pour the drip tray slops into a glass, top it up from the pump and then serve it to the customer. They had half full glasses of drip tray 'slop' beer lined up underneath the bar with full intention of selling it to unsuspecting customers, most of whom (like me)are tourists leaving the country. Well they're busted on this one! Fullers & Bombardier should drop this pub like a hot rock as it is simply not a good representative for their beer. Food was marginal at best. what service? I am giving it a 2 point rating based on the fact that the pub was there and it was open.

Awful place. Under poured pint. G&T in a dirty glass and no ice or lemon even after requesting it. Filthy loos - male & female. Food was just OK. Had to ask for everything from cutlery to salt/pepper to serviettes. Beer garden/patio area was dirty and every table was covered with dirty glasses. A lot of tourist/foreign trade which makes it shameful as it gives a very bad impression. Will not be returning.

I popped in here recently simply because I was at a work-thing at the hotel across the road and I wanted to have a change of scene. Clearly a chain pub (Spirit Inns?) from the menus and notices dotted about but the barman who served me my bottle of J2O was friendly and the pub didn’t have a bad atmosphere for a weekday lunchtime. In fact it was a little oasis of calm amidst the hubbub of Heathrow. I can’t comment on the food or the beers as I didn’t sample either.

It would appear that some of the comments made have been taken off. Do not think that this will stop people commenting.

Well after reading the reviews about this pub i was a little taken about to say the least when i was invited for dinner and expected the worst.
From the minute we walked in we were greeted by happy staff who acually looked like they were enjoying there job The pub was clean and well presented I did manage to ask a member of the staff if the pub had a new owner Her answer was :no but we do have a new manager can you see the difference:
The food and service was excellent well done

Agree with previous poster, visited one lunchtime this week, first waited while the barlady figured out how to work till, then waited 25 minutes for our food to arrive only to find my cheese and bacon beefburger somehow became a chicken burger. When I asked whats going on I got a 'well thats what you payed for` which pissed me off no end because I had repeated my order to this particular waitress about three times

Far and away the WORST PUB ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!!!
The food was DISGUSTING!!
Honestly the foulest roast dinner I have ever eaten (I only ate about a quarter of it).
The service was APPALLING.. slow, and surly.. the yorkshire puddings tasted of disinfectant, everything had been microwaved. I think my son's burger had been made from a dog.
STEER WELL CLEAR!

The beer in this pub is disgusting, The food was acceptable, but what we were served bore no relationship to the menu we ordered from. If you enjoy a pint avoid this pub at all costs

Visited the pub today. The pub has recently been refurbished so is alot brighter and tidier. Service was awful, had to wait a long time to be served. Ordered a pint of IPA, which didn't taste of anything, had to ask for the pint to be filled to the top of the glass. I stand by my earlier submitted comments. Avoid.

This pub is awful. Poor service, badly served drinks, high prices, unfriendly locals and bar staff. Avoid at all costs and seek out pubs in nearby Harlington, Sipson and Colnbrook. The pub needs a refit, the gents toilets are in a state.

Myself and two friend went to this pub on the 28th of April 03.
Three Scotish guys down to collect
a patient from Switzerland.We all work for the NHS here in Scotland.
We arrived at the pub at 21:15 i orderd three drinks while another went to order food we were then told "WE DO NOT TAKE SCOTTISH MONEY,ITS NOT THE BREWERS POLICY.we asked to see the manager , THEY WERE TO BUSY TO SEE US. We left the pub in GREAT spirits and went to find a cashpoint which we found and returned to the pub at 21:33,we tried to order food and were told they stoped serving at 21:30 so we went for a big mac.So if it dosent accept Scottish pounds which to my knowledge are legal tender and widely accepted all over England whats the problem.
YIP YOUR RIGHT WE WONT BE BACK. BUT COULD THIS BE A CASE OF RACISM,WE ARE IN THE PROCCES OF SEEKING HELP TO FURTHER OUR FIGHT.

It's ok to be a tempermental chef when you are good at what you do but the food in this place is appalling.
