Was born in Hayes and come bay to take my father out for a pint. We usually end up here. Good choice, staff friendly, plenty of seats. Not eaten here but he has and was not keen.

Had a meal recently. Food was inedible. Chilli was burnt from being overcooked in the microwave. Rice was almost cold, garlic bread was microwaved instead of being grilled / oven cooked.
I wrote in to complain but their response was just a 'fill in the gaps' standard letter with no real apology.

cheap as any other weatherspoons is. didnt find the atmosphere very welcoming
|
cheap beer and food if your in there from 11am to 2pm say hi to my old man albert and buy him a pint
|
Good, well-kept ales and friendly service, but the pub seems to be a hangout for the local social defectives. Shame
|
Typical good value from Spoons and a good selection of RA. 7/10

Now doing live jazz on sunday evenings.
(As far as I know, this is for a trial period which started on 6th August. If successful it may continue. In other words "use it or lose it").

Quite a nice pub. Friendly bar staff but, as cackgsy said, they do tend to move on. Good selection of foreign bottled lagers. Screen showing Sky News in the dining area can be a bit distracting.

was a really great pub when it first opened, however like everything else in hayes - the chavs took over!

Not a bad pub, for a Weatherspoons. Its quite comfortable, and the locals don't seem the usual bunch of alkies that Hayes can produce.

Two words...
IAN PARKER!

I used this palce when I was unemployed, so I can vouch for the fact that it is cheap. The beer selection was always good, and because of the large turnover the beer was always in good nick.
There are two major problems with the Botwell Inn. All the really good staff move on to better things in the Wetherspoons empire (fair play to them) but that means a constant changing of the guard.
However the principal problem are the customers. Very cheap beer attracts trouble, and there is plenty of that in Hayes. Personally I'm not keen on pubs that have to employ bouncers.
