Great local place to meet up with an old friend. Started well until we were alone in the dining room competing with a teenage group who was incredibly loud. We asked the server to move us which happened but unfortunate. Highly recommend the crispy Califlower and mezza platter. Garlic shrimp so so and surprised no calamari on the menu. Service was not attentive which was another unfortunate experience. They could up their game with simple changes. read more

Absolutely shocking. We paid nearly £900 for 13 of us to have Christmas Dinner here. After being told our original booking at the regent had been cancelled 4 weeks before Christmas, we was booked here by the main office with no other choice. We thought we had been upgraded as costs for the meals were higher but this was not the case. I will not fail to mention the lovely lady who takes the bookings offering lots of help and support for some of the family who had issues with certain foods on the menu, wonderful lady didn't get her name. Christmas day.. Starters we had were great, until the Christmas Dinner came out! Frozen mixed veg which hadn't been MICROWAVED long enough so was still frozen, rock hard undercooked potatoes, almost raw pigs in blankets, gravy like water and not to mention the turkey...already cooked turkey that was from a packet maybe then microwaved . And then the Yorkshire...that would of knocked someone out if thrown across the room. On to the pudding, chocolate cake that was drowed in so much alcohol, our kids would have walked out drunk if finished ! Service was shocking, forgetting all of our prev orders and bringing out different dishes saying we must have ordered it when we definitely would not have ordered salmon on Christmas day, but stood arguing that we had. No "can I get u anything", huffing and puffing when we asked for cutlery we hadn't been brought. We complained to the manager on the day, he offered no alternatives and was happy for us to all leave hungry, no free drinks even.. they still had to be paid for. No sorry really. He said he would happily get us a refund on the prepayment we had made we just needed to contact the main department in a few days and he will okay it. 4 weeks it has taken, over 15 phonecards, being passed left right and centre, being hung up on, telling me lots of different stories as to why they cant issue refund yet. To then be sent an email saying we will not be issuing a refund on this occasion. Without even an apology or a voucher or any kind of compensation. I have 12 other people that will be writing there experience on the reviews, this is not something I wanted to do but after the lack of responsibility and disgraceful service experienced I will be taking this further. AVOID AT ALL COST And do not pre pay ever! read more

Food was good, location and atmosphere excellent. 2 stars off for inattentive service.

I went for lunch and it was really nice. The food was a really high standard for the prices. The Ploughmans was really tasty and had everything possible with it - loads of cheeses, ham, bread, pickles etc. On the river, so a nice few from the back of the pub. read more

The Anglers - Gastropubs Near Me - Teddington, XGL

You can't beat the setting - especially in the summer. Right by the river, huge garden and a BBQ out back. But everyone will be heading here, and this can be the downfall of your experience. It's too busy in the summer! The staff can rarely cope, which means long waits at the bar and even longer wait for your food. I'd suggest getting here early for lunch, get the food out the way (which can be very tasty indeed) and then relaxing in the garden all afternoon. In the winter it's a little more cosy - and very much has a country pub feel to it. There aren't really any alternatives this end of Teddington. In summary; hit and miss. read more

I have been to The Anglers a couple of times recently, once for lunch and another time for drinks after work. There are two very good things about the pub: the staff and the setting. On both occasions the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, while the location by the river is fantastic - admittedly I went in winter so haven't yet tried sitting outside... A word of warning though: the food is really not good. I ordered a fish finger sandwich which had been recommended to me and it was very disappointing. The bread was thick sliced Hovis and the fish fingers were a weird grey colour with a large amount of potato in them to pad then out. It really was awful and I would not eat at The Anglers again. The fish and chips that someone at another table ordered looked good but was nearly £12 which is a bit too much for a sneaky pub lunch on a break from work. I'll be back for the river-setting and the great service but will stay well away from the food menu. read more

This pub pretends to be a family pub. As a family that lives near it I can tell you it is not. Please help local residents by spending your money elsewhere. The food is overpriced and poor quality. The wine list is terrible and the service is beyond incompetent. Worst of all this pub attracts a very unsavory crowd in the evenings. Almost every night of the week there are drunk aggressive people congregating in our road (The Angler is on a residential street). In addition to the constant social disorder, our properties are regularly trespassed on. I have been personally threatened on numerous occasions for asking people to leave. I have had bottles thrown at me and my home, my down drains broken, and my exterior walls vandalised. The police and council have had to respond to calls on so many occasions I've lost track, but the most recent one was a few days ago. The pub has point blank said it doesn't care that it's ruining our neighbourhood and refuses to do anything to improve the situation. If you want a gastropub experience, go to The Kings Head on Teddington High Street. The food, wine and service are amazing. If you want food with a river view, go to The Wharf on Manor Road, beautiful restaurant with amazing food and wine over looking the river. They also have a bar for events. If you want to have a pint / relaxed drink at a riverside pub and traditional pub food, go to the Tide End Cottage. They recently renovated, have a great pub food menu, good wines and GreeneKing beers. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the manager makes sure there are no incidents for local residents. read more

Right on the river with a large garden, The Anglers is a popular pub amongst the young and trendy and families alike. There are regular barbecues in the summer (and on a nice day, it can be difficult to find a space to sit outdoors) and a good children's play area. Access is from the front or, if you're coming by boat, the back, where there is a small mooring spot and shingle beach(ette). The footbridge across the Thames is just next to the garden, and is quite a sight. The pub is also right next door to Teddington Studios. The inside is very large, and, as seems to be increasingly common, mostly hard surfaces. There is a decent ale selection, as well as lagers, wines and spirits. Service is good (though not remarkable). They do food in the winter, though I've not eaten the non barbecue food in some years (we used to go a lot more often than we do now when our daughter was small). The barbecue is truly excellent, with superb burgers and some non-standard fare as well, including, sometimes, venison burgers. There is a function room upstairs which I have visited but never used - it is of a good size. This is a good, if impersonal large pub, and a very pleasant place (especially if you have or don't mind children) to spend a sunny summer's afternoon. read more

I like this place. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is friendly and the decor is great. The best thing is that when you walk through the door and it's cold outside, you're greeted by warmth and the smell of a real log fire... Beautiful! Quiz night is a but dodgy... Don't expect a peaceful meal then because the quizmaster likes his pa system LOUD! Nice big beer garden for the summer and good selection of drinks... Me likes! read more

When the sun shines, this place goes awal!! It's just had a refurb and is looking alot better now, they seem to have sorted out the slight problem of service too... At least when you order a round now you get it before closing time!! Not sure on the food cause i was scared it would be cold by the time it got to me!! read more

I liked the place. I was going to not go there because of one of the reviews however I am happy that I went there. Food was good, but I like most the casual eating, eating outside in a beautiful afternoon. Good variety of beers. read more

Friday afternoon, the sun was shining the heat was turned up. The Anglers for a quick bite to eat and slurp on a diet coke? Yes please. Two diet cokes £5 sat outside. We had to hunt for a menu in the sparsely populated restaurant. After finding one opted for the cheese and pickle sandwich and a smoked salmon sarnie as well. The server was a little confused but duly charged me for the food at the bar. Then outside to wait for a well earned sandwich. We waited, waited some more, saw the table next to us being served food before us despite ordering after us, not a problem it happens. We waited some more, until after 30 minutes of waiting the temper within began to rise. 39 minutes after ordering food arrived, two starters one cheese the other salmon-not sandwiches. Oh dear the easiest dish to make and order had proved problematic for the under worked staff. 10 minutes later a server busily rushed towards us asking what we had ordered. Two sandwiches one cheese and the other Salmon, I cried. He duly left with our complicated order ringing in his head. The temper gauge rose higher as after 10 minutes a shirted important man plonked two diet colas in front of us with an apology lacking an apology or the commonly used word 'sorry'. We sent the colas back in mild disgust as a hungry man with pickle on his mind does not want more liquid. A further two minutes later and the fanfare was heard as the two sandwiches appeared with great delight. Carefully placed on some scrap wood the 'plates' (so called) were laid before two hungry souls. The cheese was grated and took leave of the bread at its first opportunity, despite the anticipation of a cheese and pickle sandwich the pickle sat on the side confined within its pot. The cheddar was moor 'tweenager' than 30 something in the maturity stakes. The salmon had picked up fluff and wore it proudly looking like a pubic hair. We are the customers who never complain, the customers that lay and wait and never, ever will come again. Disappointing read more

Excellent place to enjoy a sunny afternoon outside - grills, playground for children, a lot of tables and benches, and last but not least: excellent food. read more

I have to agree wholeheartedly with Mark S's review, as l do enjoy sitting by the river enjoying a good beer and food whilst watching the world go by, so much more pleasant than the smells and noise of urban traffic, okay the peace may be occasionally broken by the planes coming into land at Heathrow, but you switch off to that very quickly, especially after a few glasses of sauvignon blanc, cider and or Guinness? read more

Interesting pub with a fantastic garden on the river. Perfect for summer afternoons. Excellent bar service, the pub was very busy but got served quickly and efficiently. The only potential downside is the kids playground, this is a family pub which might not suit everyone. read more

Both best and worst to visit in the summer (we were there in Aug). Great gardens and by the river, but busy and unable to cope with the numbers they attract. We queued for 30mins to order, and then waited 2hrs for food (with children) before giving up and going elsewhere. Staff and general organisation are hopeless, as if they're surprised when the hordes turn up on hot days! read more

Great food and Sunday roasts in this place, loads and loads of staff, but that is because it can get extremely busy in the summer. The beer is kept well. major downside is the price of food and drink is more than some nice pubs around the area. read more
