This site used to be a petrol station. I think it still is.
|
Beer range and quality varies a great deal.

It might l o o k old, but I can remember when this was the site of a petrol station [Inward's, who had a site in Hillingdon, too] selling Esso petrol.
My Dad paid 4/11d a gallon [ about 6p/litre!!!] for the equivalent of three star - and you could get a Tiger Tail. This jolly well does date me, doesn't it!
I can't remember when this closed - but I don't think it was until at least the eighties, and m i g h t have been the early nineties.

This pub has a nice atmosphere and its a great hotspot for a night out in Ickenham. I would say it is a beautiful old looking place, but trendy at the same time. Lovely mix. The beer is cold...but so are their staff, not just to yobbish youngsters, but to some elderly people I know too. Also, they are way too strict in my opinion regarding ID and kicking people out at 9 etc. But lets not end on a low note, I'd reccommend the Tich to anyone who likes good drink and value for money dinners in Ickenham, Hillingdon, Uxbridge or Ruislip.

are you for real.. always find food superb and great value.. breakfast always good.. iwas in yesterday and didnt have prob with my breakfast..
that is not to say once i had a meal in there and found the food not as good as i would expect. however when brought to the attention of the staff they were most apologetic and coulodnt be anymore helpful.. unlike being made to feel like i was the one that made the mistake.

very disappointing indeed, a very cold plate and a very cold meal, very, very poor and to follow no brekfast could be served on the following morning , though it was only 11.45. Breakfast is available until 12.00 one is informed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LAST COMMENTS A LITTLE OUT DATED, THE TICHENHAM INN PROVIDES TV/FOOD/GOOD VALUE DRINKS, EXTENSIVE RANGE OF REAL ALES, THE DECOR MAYBE A LITTLE OUT DATED BUT HOWEVER THE CHARM OF THE STAFF ONLY ADD TO THE GREAT ATMOSPHERE, THIS PUB HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, GREAT TURNAROUND.. BEST OF ALL YOU GET SERVED QUITE QUICKLY..

Only used this for morning coffee - before the "Coach" opens.
Pefectly civilised pub at that time.

Can't visit this place on a weekend without some idiot trying to pick a fight. This pub seems to attract a nasty weekend crowd. Shame really, as it's not bad in the week.

bit dull but cheap. Monday nights you can get battered with just £10 to your name - trouble is who gets hammered Mondays?

Like any Wetherspoons, its cheap and thats about all going for it. Ideal for starting point for big sessions as you can spend £10 and get about 53 drinks for it. But with no music/tv/proper atmos, its always going to be a no no in my opinion.
