This pub is located on a side road coming off the Teddington Lock. We walked past and saw people…read moreoutside drinking beer and eating food, it was a nice sunny day and they seem to be gently happy. The menu has general English food and is very nice. A tiny bit more expensive and some other local places, but from what we could see from the outside of the others we saw, well worth the difference. The lady serving behind the bar was very friendly and nice, without the usual self important and arrogance often seen restaurant and pub staff. The guy working there was also very nice and treated us like a friend. The food that came with seemed freshly grilled and chips that were not soggy. There is no sign of the warmed up frozen food that often comes for this price, as a result we were very impressed. The layout of the food was also pleasantly done. It has nice decor, like a riverside pub, but nicely done and not too parochial. There is some outside seating, but not a huge amount, which is why other places may be a bit more popular on a sunny day. However there were plenty of chairs and tables free for everyone to be able to sit outside in the sun. There were only two down sides, for Wi-Fi data they do not just give you a password, you have to go to thir WiFi and fill in a long online form that asks for your name, date of birth etc. Also the locked toilet roll holder was empty and the toilet roll was on a ledge 9 inches above the ground, which is probably not fantastically hygienic. A good pub restaurant if you are in the area. Everybody there seems happy and those with we saw leaving seemed happy with their choice. Well not at an extremely high level with micro brewery beer and so on, it is a perfectly nice place for those that live and are walking nearby.

The food is well priced and I haven't had any reason to complain or moan about the quality. Has a very good outside area for smokers and non-smokers alike, with tables at the front (non-smoking if I recall) of the pub and newer decked area at the back (50/50 mix of smoking tables). A bit of a mixed crowd from the young to the old, however everyone always seems well to do and simply therefore a drink / some food / chat. Since it's small it can get rather busy in there & I have ended up having to stand a couple of times in there. So if the Angler's doesn't do the type of beer you fancy or the hoards of children are annoying you there, this place is only a 60 second walk up the road and the walk should be well worth it.

I loved the Cabbage Patch! I walked over from the Marriott Twickenham for dinner. We sat on the…read morepatio, which was large and comfy! The inside is pretty big too. It's all "order at the bar", which I appreciated so we could relax and not have to worry about a waiter. This particular night, I was feeling a little homesick for Houston. I know, a pub is nothing like Texas, and this one feels as British as it gets! But I just needed some good food and beer to pull me out of it... And the Cabbage Patch did just that! I ordered a random beer recommended by the bartender... I still have no idea what it was. But it was deliciously hoppy and tasted like home. And the beer selection is extensive. Next, I had the burger and fries. It was such a good burger! Cooked perfectly, dressed well, and topped with great bacon (which was a nice change from the soggy bacon at the hotel breakfast buffet). My friends ordered the steak and pizza. She liked the steak but the other wasn't a fan of the pizza. We then ended it all with pudding--the Belgian Waffle and ice cream. It was amazing. I just wish I had my own and didn't decide to share one!

This is a great little pub, a proper back street local which is friendly enough to passers by…read more It's split into two halves, with the bar down the middle and it makes a lot of effort with nights devoted to live bands and stand up comedy. It's in a very quaint sidestreet, just off the main high street but feeling like a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of it all, which is perfect for a pub where you can escape and relax. They have a good range of real ales, which change often enough and now seem to be consistently kept well which is a must for a good pub. There is a juke box and a dart board, plus a seating area outside which although not huge has had quite a lot of seating space added in providing plenty of seats without feeling too over crowded. There are also a couple of benches out front where you'll also usually find a few locals standing around, giving you the impression that this really is their second home, as the local pub always should be to its loyal locals. All in all, a charming pub that does make an effort, but there are a couple of things that do knock it down from being a 5 star establishment. One is the TV screens, they have one in each half of the bar but will often show the same sporting event on both, which really seems to spoil the whole advantage of having two separate halves. Often the pub won't even be that busy, so all could comfortably fit in one half, leaving the other for more peaceful drinking. However they don't do this, and if you've made the effort to head up there and are not into sports it can be a real let down to find that there's no space away from them. Another odd thing, and this is probably harder for them to do anything about, is that very often there's one or two incredibly drunks guys in there - and you could understand this if it was late in the evening but this seems to regularly be the case at about 5 or 6, early in the evening. Quite often they'll be shouting or jumping up and down causing a racket, never in a threatening way but just very out of kilter with the atmosphere in the rest of the pub. I think it's a sign of it being very much a locals' pub, and perhaps this is something the other locals are happy with, but as someone who visits less regularly it really makes the place seem less inviting and certainly not so easy a place to kick back and relax in. It's definitely a 4 star pub, many excellent reasons to go there but one or two minor foibles that keep it from being a top place. Perhaps they prefer it that way though.

They've been working here for a while now and know their stuff, so you won't be left waiting for your drink more than a few minutes and even when it gets crowded they serve you just as quick.

The whole place is decorated in a very traditional style, with lots of wood panellings and old artwork. Totally recommended!

The tables were not sticky (yay!) and carpet looked recently hoovered. I was happy I found a high top table with an outlet on the adjacent column so I could charge my phone. There was some cute holiday decor scattered throughout the pub, which had a rugby theme which I found was cool. Most of the other Spoons I have visited never really had a clear theme (just generic "sports" or history of the building/area in which they are located). There were several tvs above the bar showing sports or sports highlights. The women's toilet was not too difficult to locate, at the top of the central staircase. All the standard Spoons food and drinks. I really like the in-app ordering rather than queueing at the bar. Overall, one of the nicer Spoons that I have visited. I would return if I was in the area.
