This pub is located on a side road coming off the Teddington Lock. We walked past and saw people outside 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. read more
