| The word "quirky" appears in some reviews including that in the GBG, and it certainly is. A strange place with its front terrace right on the riverside, the main front area has the bar and a raised area for the bar billiards table. Walls and the ceilings are covered in flags. To the rear is "The Bounty Bar", an unusual room which had me feeling like I'd entered the pub's private area, especially as there was some ironing/washing left on a table. A shelf in here has books and videos (VHS!) for sale; the pub also sells greetings cards, and ice creams. A sign over the entrance says "Welcome to the People's Republic of Cocksmarsh.....The Laws of Common Sense Apply" Another board also announces that muddy boots, dirty hounds and children are welcome. Rebellion beers, Grumpy Cow...cheers abteilung for clearing that one up, it had me confused....Mutiny and Blonde. The Blonde was a little too cold resulting in a haze but it was drinkable. £3.20 here, probably the going rate for a riverside location. The front terrace is a sunny and popular spot and I expect it gets rammed at weekends and holidays. Overall, I'm not sure, its certainly different but I prefer a more pubby pub if you know what I mean. Closed in winter during the week I understand. I'd suggest phoning first especially as there is no direct vehicle access. Maldenman - 26 Sep 2009 08:53 |
| A really friendly pub so close to the Thames I nearly fell in it! The pub management don't mind muddy boots, dogs or walkers using the toilets (according to the sign at the front). A quirky pub selling the Rebellion beers and given them additional names, like Grumpy Cow instead of IPA, when I went it was very busy. No road access and so the beer apparently comes by boat. I will return again and again. Abteilung - 30 Aug 2009 15:07 |
| Superb, individualistic pub in lovely riverside location - good locally-brewed Rebellion beer, "interesting" decor (!) and excellent food in generous portions. Well worth a visit - and the station's only a 10-minute walk away! E17Bee - 20 Jun 2009 14:02 |
| An excellent summer pub. quite ramshackle but nice rebellion beers, bar billiards and friendly staff make this pub well worth a visit. The decor is 'eclectic' (imagine the goonies running a pub) but it suits the place perfectly....we especially liked the 'Saxon' artifacts! Foreman - 7 Apr 2009 13:31 |
| Utterly brilliant (once I'd found it - Beer Guide decsription as Cookham is very unhelpful !). Characterful and unpretentious, exceptional Rebellion beer, good music and OK if pricy food (but what do you expect given location. Child-friendly as well. A real gem. mtaylor40 - 30 Jun 2008 00:34 |
