A good local pub which probably gets some custom from the local boaters but also neighbours. Nice and pubby, has a quiz, good ale (three on including Davenport Fat Catz) and a warm welcome. Didn't realise it had a second bar to the right as you enter (mainly for dining) - this makes it even better.

Lovely pub. Friendly quick service and a blinding pint of bitter.

This has taken over as my "local" from the Angel, whenever I visit the area. It is a great little pub, we are always met with a smile and cherry word, always a couple of real ales on handpump, and there is a well stocked games table for you to dive into (crib, dominoes and some board games).

Just started going to this pub, having driven past it almost every day for several years, and wondering what it was like. Its quite small, but service is excellent - a really friendly pub, and doing even better trade now the Ferry is closed. Try the quiz every other Wednesday - quite testing though!

A decent undemanding family grub-pub with a decent undemanding ciabatta-and-chips style menu (and a kid's menu to bring Irish publicity-seeker Jamie O'Liver harumphing out of the woodwork): satisfying food at satisfactory prices, and a decent pint.

I love this pub! Very friendly staff, great food, great locals that are friendly and welcoming. Couldn't be a nicer place to visit on route to races!
Keep up the good work and happy environment!

Surprised this pub has such a low rating. A nice little local between river and road, on the border of Surbiton and Thames Ditton. Sunday lunches, quizzes on a Wednesday night, two regular ales and a guest ale. A good pub.

Used this pub as a stop off for a coach trip to Sandown Races on 21.07.2005. There were 46 of us and I cannot fault them. We all had ploughman's very good standard and reasonably priced, they were all ready as we arrived, service was good and all 46 of us got served with drinks within about 10 minutes.!! Quite an achievement. Highly recommended for groups, and will certainly use it again next year. If I was passing again on my own I would certianly go in to try some of the other food on the menu. Well done.

A reasonable offering.

Has a traditional feel, a welcoming atmosphere and a good range of beers. The concentration on food makes the front bar area a bit cramped.

A plethora of locals on stools around the bar made it quite difficult to get served initially. They weren't threatening or unfriendly to the newcomer (like you get in some pubs I could mention), it was just a space issue.

Not unpleasant, worth a visit if passing.
