The Misty Moon, Twickenham

David (18th May 2004) Hit the nail on the head when he described this place as a beer machine for old people with no money ... but a kinder description, especially considering the ever changing variety of good beers, is that it would be the best pub in the world, if only it had the atmosphere of almost any other pub in the world.
Go with some unpretentious friends who like beer and make a little corner of it yours for the evening. You'll be amazed how the surroundings become unimportant after a few beers when the conversation is going full pelt.

The Cabbage Patch, Twickenham

I used to love going to this pub. It was "quaint" with wood floors and wood chairs & tables, none of which seemed to match. It was quieter than many of the other pubs in Twickenham, and maybe for that reason it's regulars were often more mature (not ancient, just older than 20 years old).
Since it's recent "makeover", the bar-length has halved, the number of seats increased and there are plasma TV screens everywhere you look.
I and many of my friends no longer go there. Instead we try not to be seen going in nextdoor, to the Weatherspoons "Moon Under Water" which has much a much better selection and quality of beer, most of which are more than a �1 cheaper than at the Cabbage Patch. This represents a sizeable saving to the kitty when there are 10 of you drinking!! (Typically the kitty would be up to �50 heathier after just four beers.)
