The Lion, Teddington

I haven't been in the Red Lion since it was the CAMRA London pub of the year back in the day, but was in the area last Sunday so looked the place up..
Oh dear....another one f**ked up by the Gastro pub make over crew and has succumbed to the usual sterile farrow & Ball pastel shades characterless make over. Also bad move to visit on Sunday as it was overrun by families whose parents are unable or have no interest in controlling their little brats who were running amok throughout the pub.
For the record there were three beers available and one of these was a decent pint from the Twickenham brewery, but it wasn't a pleasant experience drinking it here..
Sad, this used to be a great pub.

The Red Cow, Cheshunt

So the Red Cow is under new management... Whoopee!!.
But so what if you have the same crap beer options as the previous management.
One beer only in the shape of the god awful GK IPA Smooth flow sadly outweighs any pub food, good staff or friendly visit as a reason not to bother to visit.
It may have escaped your notice New Red Cow Management, but this review site is called Beer in the evening..
So the beer is..... ????

The Black Horse, Barnet

First time to visit since the refurb and yes a big change from the shit hole I remember a few years ago. Now a smart pub with a much better ale choice. Could do with more from their associated barnet Brewery, but only a small gripe and much better than the previous incarnation..
