user reviews of the Punch Bowl, Colnbrook

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Took a few people here for a Thai meal earlier in January. The pub appears to have gone downhill a little. The furniture is very worn and the place was being warmed by a Calor gas heather. Pride was the solitary ale and the Thai food was only average, with smaller than average portions. I'm not surprised it was quiet.

Glad to see this place lively and buzzing yesterday lunchtime. Fairly small but cosy interior and fairly big outside patio.

Didn't eat there however, the Thai food looked and smelled fantastic and I guess it must have tasted pretty good seeing the amount of people in there.

Only one ale on which was Pride so this place won't exactly be attracting the old beardy bore brigade.

With this pub nestled amongst the hundreds of freight and air cargo companies this place is a haven for old washed up couriers their faces gnarled from years of delivering parcels.

Their routine is a follows; Wake up, have a dump, deliver parcels, sink 5 lunchtime pints of Stella in the punch bowl, collect parcels, sleep - REPEAT

On my last visit the Kronenbourg was a bit flat but the Stella was ok, as was the Guinness & John Smiths.

Not much has changed since the last time I visited this pub. Although the restaurant area was a bit busier than last time and the Christmas decorations are up. The pub cat strolled through the pub and back again. Probably a point that would put many people off. The service is still good, with plenty of staff available.

i found it hard to like this pub it had a strange smell and the restaurant seemed to be the focus of the business might try again at a differnt time

I like the Thai food served in this pub, and it's always convenient for the airport. The pub itself has a comfortable interior. It's nothing special, but it's probably the pick of the bunch in Colnbrook, now they've ruined the interior of the Ostrich. London Pride is the only real ale available.

lovely little pub - shame it has no real beer garden...

getting to know the locals is a blast... the punch wouldnt be the punch without Yogi, Rod, Jane, Dave, Chelsea Dave, Warren, Warrick, Dave the roll, the twins, angry bob ... the list is endless.

would definately recommend the thai food - its to die for

hard to disagree with the guy who mentioned the barmaid !! or barmaids !! there isnt an ugly one !! worth the visit just to view them !!
a friendly pub with good beer, one criticism might be the plantation inside the pace which makes it a little dark, but overall a good little boozer

Nice pub

New landlord a few months ago. At last we have bitter which is good!

London Pride is simply superb and the Courage best takes some beating.

Friendly staff, good service. A real mix of people.

Good quality reasonably priced Thai food.
