The Marble Hill, St Margarets

What a gem! Clean, modern (yet cosy) shame that becuase of its residential location it does not attract more custom. Perfect for couples and those wanting to relax over a cool drink. Beer garden very nice at the moment but not sure it will age very well and lots of delicate features. Tried food last night and both my partner and I very impressed. A bit expensive but this would not put me off.

The Rose of York, Richmond

Just came back from the pub. Ordered a bottle of cider. When it arrived i noticed the date said Feb 10 (today is the May 10). Probably didn't matter but did not want to risk it! The land bhind the bar looked aggrieved at the fact I had pointed this out. She took my cider and put it back in the fridge while another member of staff went down to fetch a fresh one. My second and last drink... I went back to order the same. The lady tried to whisper 'give him the same bottle' I heard her as she is rubbish at whispering and checked the neck of the bottle for the date as it was the same bottle i refused. The date had been scratched off!! I pointed this out to the chap serving me and he got me a fresh one. Otherwise a lovely setting and will proably go back (but will chack the dates on anything i buy) I know its not a big deal only 4 months out of date but i'd expect more from a samuel smiths pub!!

The Albany, Twickenham

Excellent pub attracting professionals (maily couples). Food is excellent, staff professional and friendly, good music. Mondays half price food from the usual menu with the exception of a couple of the more expensive items. Beer is fresh and cold. Nice patio garden area on quite back street. Clean, relaxing, friendly!
