Really want to love this pub because of the good selection of Twickenham Ales and old feel, but I can't. The last three times I've been in there, the staff were grumpy and locals were weird and aggressive.

Used to be good but seems to have gone downhill. Only one draft - mediocre London Pride. Looks as if it has now been taken over by the local students.

Went in there Saturday night after seeing my team, Northampton Saints, being twatted by Quins. Eel Pie was a better bet. This place was Deadsville, Arizona! Beer was OK, though.

I payed another visit on the off-chance that The Fox would have it's beer back in order. Expectations were tempered by poor standards on several recent visits, but - hey - Twickenham Brewery produces an excellent selection of ales, so it's worth the risk, especially with the Eel Pie just across the road.

What's the worst that could happen?

Alot, actually. Sadly, things have got worse. Considerably. All the real ales were off, bar one, which came out the barrel a cloudy puff of dirge and bowel gas; a mixture of bin juice and nasal scrapings that a girl guide would have spotted was pining for the fjords...quite simply it should not have been served (tip: train your staff).

It took 20 minutes to tap a barrel (Sundancer), which is frankly attrocious going. An old fellow who had the audacity to complain to the landlord (who had, shall we say, indulged in one or two small shandies) got foul obscenities yelled at him and aggressively pushed out the door - despite the gentleman (who looked about 70) appearing sober and well mannered. Maybe landlord, punters don't like been treated like the supine mugs you take them for? (tip: if you have anger management issues, stay off the booze). In fact if you run a failing pub, stay off the booze.

I'd give my dosh to the Eel Pie across the road and avoid this poorly run gaffe in future.

It does not deserve the points it has and I sincerly hope that the guy running it becomes a bouncer, security guard or one of the many other professions where aggression, bullying and insulting behaviour are seen as assets. Oh, and incompetence.

I'm a fan of the Fox - makes it easy to know where to head before the rugby with the Eel Pie close at hand as well. Nice atmosphere and well worth a visit if in the area
