Amazingly, I have lived in Hampton for the last 16 years, and never set foot in this utter gem of a…read morepub. Before even stepping in, you know this pub will be a little different - the exterior is a shocking red, and stands out. It appears to be a large pub on the corner on the road between Hampton Hill and Teddington - it is not immediately obvious, however, what will greet you inside. The Roebuck is one of those pubs where you just want to wander around looking at, well, stuff. From a wicker motorcycle (could that be a prop for the new movie The Wicker Escape? Or perhaps The Great Man?), to (as has been pointed out) an H25 Request Bus Stop sign, to a little model airplane made of Stella cans, you'll find a host of interesting and quirky items to gaze at. Under the glass tops of the tables are old (WWI and WWII, as far as I could tell) newspapers - these can get quite distracting, and cause you and your companion to read instead of chat. Just as well the interior is quite dark, thus discouraging a concerted read. Moving further into the pub, you'll find a little, yet pretty (though it was night when I went in) garden, with a small (very small) covered area for the inevitable smokers. Of course, you don't go into a pub just for the decor. There are five real ales on tap - I drank the Hopsback Red Amber, and it was beautifully kept and very tasty. I believe the selection changes regularly, though I was offered Youngs Ordinary, Hopback Red Amber and Elf n' Happiness and Sharps Doom Bar and Special. There is also a selection of speciality lagers (in bottles I believe) from a number of countries, including speciality brews such as banana beer. This is a locals pub, and very middle aged male. This is not a criticism, but it is worth noting. The landlord was handing out little gifts (2010 diaries) to the regulars, and it was clear that the vast majority of the punters there were regulars. There was one chap who clearly had enjoyed his beer, and felt himself to be the re-incarnation of Tommy Cooper, but in general, the regulars were friendly and approachable, at least to me and my drinking companion. All in all, I highly recommend the Roebuck (despite the cold yet clean loos), and, indeed, hope to visit again. They do food - I haven't yet tried it, but today may well be the day.

We just left the pub. It's a bit manky inside, with the tables actually chained to their chairs, everything tatty and worn, and not really in a nice way. The White Hart (across the street) was mostly reserved, and the other pub nearby was closed (!) so the Beggar was rammed. There was a queue for drinks. Clientele was older and very white, as I expected. Service was glacial and not particularly welcoming. Not surly - just... meh. They were out of Guinness. My husband ordered me my large glass of Malbec anyway. It was disgusting plonk, for $9.80 - and to top it off, the glass was none too clean. Ugh. I downed a few gulps and we left. We won't be back.

Me and my faded red trouser chums think it's a Great Pub, just what's needed as an antidote to Northcote Road. Unfortunately some types that bought a flat that was a former pub, did so cos it was cheaper than one that wasn't opposite a Pub, and now they complain about it all the time, even though it complies with the Law. Perhaps they think that if they get the pub closed, the value of their flat will go up. But who would want a flat now, with Grenfell cladding? Trebles all round! Dosvidania!

Honestly, this place has a huge amount of charm, and being hidden in an alley with just that. In fact, I believe this pub is pretty old - you could say it was a hole in the wall bar before hole in the wall bars were cool. Actually, what I loved about it was the music - they were playing a heap of heavy metal which I loved, and they had some pretty nice beers on tap as well. The catch was that I had to go to the theatre, otherwise I would have spent much more time here.

Its now a firm favourite with me and my friends. Its quite a traditional pub in the way its decorated and titled, but it still attracts quite a young and trendy crowd at the weekend. It hosts a really good range of beers, wines and spirits and they pour a mean pint of Guinness here too! I believe they do both bar snacks and main meals here but i havent had the chance to try them, though im told they are good value.

They had a good number of indoor seating options ranging two levels, and also a mini courtyard, semi-outdoor seating area. Service was good overall. They were quick to take the drinks order when I was the first to arrive, and our food was served within reasonable time afterwards too.

Meanwhile, my friend is out there in the pub, clueless and probably wondering if I've passed out from the combination of my first pint of Guinness in a pub in a decade and jet lag from a long overseas flight.
