| Such a shame what has happened to this pub. Totally ruined by rich owners who bought it to turn into their own private drinking establishment, not by locals as had been previous thought. If you want to see the type of people who caused the global economy to crash, they all drink here. They are the only ones who can afford it. Total rip off. Gone is all the quirkyness and character. None of the old faces which says a lot. There was nothing wrong with the pub, staff or regulars, it just needed the broken bits fixing. Service is awful, the lone barman was asked to make a coffee for someone so not only were we subjected to the racket of the machine which can be heard wherever you sit but then had to wait the best part of 15mins for a drink. Would have walked out if not meeting family. And be warned you could be charged nearly £9 for 2 pints then told to move because the owners want to sit where you are. Shocking, the owners should hang their heads in shame. Much much better pubs around. THE_Ale_TEAM - 31 Dec 2011 10:53 |
| Excellent riverside pub with a choice of real ales. Real coal fires, a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming, friendly service. I enjoyed a pint of '391' in tip-top condition. Food is excellent quality and served in hearty portions. A 'must visit' when in the area. wobblybob - 27 Oct 2011 19:50 |
| Great little riverside pub, always heaving when the suns out, nice selection of beers and reasonably priced quality food. Paul the manager is a very welcoming host and no its not the cheapest but I dont want to drink in Wetherspoons or the George so I pay more to get more out of it. paddypint - 10 Oct 2011 11:28 |
| 1 Guinness, x2 125ml of house white wine - £13.90. Furious. Will write a proper review after I calm down. THE_Ale_TEAM - 3 Oct 2011 19:30 |
| I happened to walk into this "pub" today after an absence of some two years (the subsequent absence will be even longer) Requesting a half of "Naked Ladies", a local brew which is normally cheaper than average, I was charged £1.80 and was informed upon enquiring that a pint was £3.35 (Do the Math!) This was served up under- measure by some snooty black clad harridan. The bar staff look like a Panzer battalion but aren't as pleasant. This establishment remains a pokey, pretentious little dive whose only claim to fame is the lovely riverside view, but you could get that by sitting on the pavement outside. The toilets (outside) remain disgusting after many years. My advice to anyone taking a pleasant riverside stroll from from Twickenham to Richmond is to carry on strolling until you get to a decent Richmond hostelry and give this abomination a very wide berth.
