| Nice and comfortable with a homely feel, one room almost split by the central wooden bar. Bench seating and bar stools, carpetted so none of the echoing noise you get in some more minimalist places. Lots of unusual nick nacks around, notably an East Riding Constabulary plaque and a set of manacles.....no stealing glasses here then. A stuffed parrot sort of bird presides over the cig machine. Sporting prints, mainly rugby adorn the walls and beermats of earlier guest beers on the ceiling and around the bar. It was lively and chatty, the Euro football showing on the small tv but the plasma on the wall was off. Efficient service and a very good line up of regulars TT Landlord, Youngs Bitter, Adnams Broadside, Pride, and guests Hogs Back Friday 13th.....I assume today's special, not sure if brewed for today or renamed, plus Elgood Cambridge Bitter. All in all very nice but jaw dropping prices, £3.40 for the EGC! Maldenman - 13 Jun 2008 20:03 |
| Caught the end of the Fulham v Everton game on in here yesterday, so yes, there is football. This is a fine traditional pub, the nearest decent pub to the Kingston Gate exit to Richmond Park. I enjoyed a nice pint of Dark Star Old Ale, but with an ABV of only 4%, a price of £ 3.25 for a pint seemed a bit steep. The people on the next table thought so too. JohnBonser - 17 Mar 2008 13:35 |
| No gimmicks like food or football (though there is a TV) - it's a pub. It sells beer. Three regular and three guest ales on tap (recently there have been beers from Orkney and Surrey Hills). The only food is filled rolls - it isn't a restaurant either. As to expensive, the 3.20 only applies to the guest beers, the regular beers are 2.50 to 3.00 a pint, which is normal for this part of town. beeronaut - 19 Feb 2008 19:56 |
| Occasionally hit-and-miss with the beer range, but always welcoming and friendly even when there is a Six Nations match on the television. Mind you, the £3.20 pint is something that still strikes me as pushing it a bit even for South-West London. meurglys_iv - 10 Feb 2008 15:39 |
| Situated down a very small backstreet, which makes it quite difficult to find. Worth searching for, though, as it is the perfect antidote to the High Street 'super-pub' so loved by the unwashed. A pub that I imagine hasn't changed in thirty years (except for the telly, I guess). Not everyone's cup of tea, but the Real Alers will love it. Slightly strange marble shelf above the urinals, but you can forgive such small misdemeanours. parkhillian - 14 Dec 2007 10:26 |
