After several days of eating our way through London and wondering whether the British were still…read morebeing punished for something, **The Mute Swan was a very welcome surprise.** Located directly across from Hampton Court Palace, this pub managed to accomplish what several other establishments could not: serve genuinely delicious food. Apparently, seasoning and flavor have not been outlawed in the United Kingdom after all. But perhaps the greatest feature? **An adults-only dining area.** After a full day of dodging running children, listening to crying babies, and witnessing the general chaos of family outings (which are lovely, preferably at a reasonable distance), discovering that families with children were seated upstairs or outside felt like winning the lottery. Even better? Dogs were welcome. So, to clarify: your golden retriever can enjoy a peaceful pint-side nap, but your screaming toddler will need to take the festivities elsewhere. An absolutely brilliant policy. Great food, a charming British pub, and the opportunity to enjoy a meal without someone's child using the dining room as an obstacle course. **Five stars. God save the King, the chef, and whoever came up with the seating arrangements.**

Thirty minutes, and we never even got water…read more We arrived shortly after 1:00. The restaurant had customers, but it was not busy. In 30 minutes, no one greeted us, brought water, or took an order. We tried several times to get someone's attention and were ignored every time. I had my hungry three-year-old with me, so we finally walked out without a single bite. I can't speak to the food because they never gave us the chance. With a dining room that wasn't busy, there is no justification for service this bad. Skip this place.

It may look like I took the picture of The Bell from a strange angle, but you are seeing this right…read more- The Bell was built in 1460 and the old girl is showing her age and looking a little crooked. But then what do you expect from a pub that is 600 years old! The Bell is Molesey's oldest pub, and in the top 20 of oldest pubs in Britain. I have been going there since I was 5. (I would like to point out that the only thing I got from the bar at that age was a packet of cheese and onion crisps.) The large pub garden is still a great place to sit with a packet of crisps in the summer, although these days I wash them down with something a bit stronger than ribena. The locals still turn out in their numbers here, and there are plenty of little corners in this twisty turny old pub to stake out. One of the rooms off the bar has a TV with sports, and on the last Saturday of every month, this is the venue for Wii night, where the TV is tuned to Wii Sports, and customers take part in interactive sports games. The other entertainment to watch out for is the popular pub quiz which is every Tuesday. Even if your team is loosing, you can still look forward to a complimentary plate of chips for every team during half time. If you a still hungry after the chips, there is a full menu of traditional pub fare also on offer which is available from 12pm - 9pm. This is a great pub if you are visiting Hampton Court Palace, as it is only a 10-15 minute walk from the Palace and perfectly compliments the Tudor experience.

It's has an outside bar which is also well stocked....gotta say the pubs gin selection is amazing. Go there and try it you won't regret it.

You know how every town always has a popular pub, a slightly poncy pub, and a rough as old dogs pub? Well, this was the latter. The decor was all dark swirly carpets, whilst dodgy blokes leaning up against the bar made you want to keep walking. A couple of weeks ago I heard my friends saying that they were drinking down the Poyntz. Surely some mistake? Then I was taken a couple of weeks and guess what? It's gone all trendy. Ah, lifestyle programmes and Sarah Beany, you have so much influence in the world. I know its pretty formulaic to have stripped wood floors and bashed up leather sofas, but I think it seems to work. In this superficial world, even the old Poyntz has had a makeover, and surprisingly, doesn't look like mutton dressed as lamb. There is a pool table at the back, and a beer garden to be enjoyed when the weather is nice. The barman even told me that on their new menu they do cocktails. Who would have thought it?
