I love it in here except for it shutting at 5 on a saturday. My uncle like to eat crisps in this clean authentic pub.

Yesterday afternoon the bar staff would not let my 7-month pregnant wife sit down. Pathetic.

I just went to go for lunch in this pub today. I ordered the special (thai chicken curry). I was still waiting 45 minutes later. Staff refunded the money no problem and were quite polite etc. Would not recommend the place forlunch though!

Very narrow inside with limited seating consisting of a few high tables with stools and a drinking shelf opposite the bar on a side wall. I liked the leaded windows with the stained glass inserts including the golden lion motif in the curved front bay. Further windows above the shelf face onto the side passage. The bar is attractive with carved detail and a green tiled gantry with flower/leaf designs. There is what appears to be a Royal coat of arms on the side wall next to the bar almost hidded from view. I'm not aware what the significance of this is unless someone nips in now and again for a sharpener or two!
Two banks of handpumps, in three's. The choice of two was repeated, being Twickenham Grandstand and Gales Seafarers, with the third reversed.
I didn't visit the upstairs theatre bar.

Tried to call in here tonight as was in area to say best wishes to new Manager, as she was AM at my local in N1. However told it was closed at 9:30 pm. Pity, but I suppose they must be minting it if they don't need my custom...
