I hired half the bar for my engagement party over the weekend and found the management to be very very welcoming (nothing was too much trouble), the drinks reasonably priced with a good selection, and the atmosphere buzzing. I gather they are not a particularly busy pub usually, but there were approx 85 guests at the party and the staff coped very well. I was able to set up a tab and we were allowed to bring a table full of food ourselves. I did not eat here, but one of my guests had steak and it looked absolutely delicious. Meals on the blackboard were approx Â£6.95 and I am planning to go and sample!
All in all, i would highly recommend the pub - thanks for a brilliant evening!!I hired half the bar for my engagement party over the weekend and found the management to be very very welcoming (nothing was too much trouble), the drinks reasonably priced with a good selection, and the atmosphere buzzing.

Although I have classified this place under Pub/Bar it has a dining room that is hip & modern. You do not need to dress up to eat there - as it is pretty casual. I would recommend the surf & turf where the steak is cooked to how you requested it. The meals are so well presented and the taste goes with the presentation. The food is absolutely tasty and if you want to pay less they have a promotion night - on Monday evenings you pay only 50% off your bill (this does not include drinks I am afraid). Already the food is reasonably priced and to make it even more pleasant 50% cheaper makes everything even better - I am sure you will agree. I have become a regular there whether we want drinks only at the pub area or even for a meal. It really is a pleasant place to go to chill out. Usually it is 30% full with tv screen strategically placed (with sports of course showing - like all pubs). Rugby match days it can get very noisy. Please note the pub cum restaurant is actually right next to the rail tracks which should be easy to find but not a hindrance at all. In fact we hardly notice the trains when they go by. There is a great selection of food including an absolutely delicious hamburger to die for. They have a house speciality - ale and beef pie - which is highly recommended. On the other hand you can go for the spicy prawns with puy lentils... absolutely lovely. All I can say is this place is pretty under-rated and you get many regulars that frequent the dining room for it good value & ambience. I understand that they now have another promotion in the dining room which is 2 courses for Â£15 on Tuesdays which I intend to try out soon. If you down Twickenham way deviate over to The Albany and you will not be disappointed.Although I have classified this place under Pub/Bar it has a dining room that is hip & modern.
