Good pint of Youngs, friendly locals, Nice backstreet pub, spotless but knackered decor.
They have Footy on TV, a Pool table, juke box which means it sometimes gets full of kids (now Waldegrave has closed) which is a mixed blessing.

I agree with previous comments.
This pub is well run but a bit boring and very shabby.
The owners / pub co need to spend money doing it up.
The residents need to use it lose it as it will close.
It can't make much money.
Decent service, nice affable lad behind the bar

Best Pint of Youngs Special for miles.
The ordinary is good and the wine list splendid.
New chap continues to impress.
Youngs could do with spending a few quid.
I came here with my parents for Sunday lunch (My mother does not go to pubs normally). They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and will be back again.
A couple of pints, quality Beef, 2 Yorkshire puddings, a decent claret and a fabulous shared cheeseboard to round it off.

Greatly improved under new landlady (Gemma)
Snug, cosy, grown up crowd.
No idiots.
Well done.

The Teddington Arms, Teddington
Nice atmosphere,
Decent pint of real ales and always a good selection of beers, wine and totty.
Good bar, decent food, sport on TV.

Decent pint of real ale.
Grotty, tatty, boozer.
There wasn't actually a fight in the 20 mins I was there but there was a poisonous atmosphere.
Stroppy sour faced landlady.
What a sh*t hole.
Down and outs, unemployed, flotsam and jetsam of the locality washes up here.
I wont be back. Take my advice and Go to the Builders, Tide End, Anglers, Adelaide, Queen Dowager, Abercorn - they are all decent, cared for, well run pubs.

Dermot has turned this place around from the tired place it was a year ago.
My collegues and I come in occasionally and it is snug and welcoming.
This is a nice, comfy, cosy well run pub with good real laes (Spitfire, Master Brew, Kent Best, Late Red but no Bishops Finger unfortunately).
Food is old fashioned fare (in the best sense of the word) - service is efficient and well run.

The Park Lodge Hotel, Teddington
When it is good it is very good - when it is empty the grand cavernous hall is a bit soul less.
The food in the restaurant is not bad & a perfectly safe place to take either a client or your grandparents for a civilkised lunch.
I recommend going in the bar only when it is busy.
A few office types wander in after work.
Used to be good but more of a hotel than a bar restaurant these days - management seem disinterested in "just" bar or restaurant trade.

I like this pub generally but it does what it says on the Tin....
A Managed house on a main street, lots of passing trade, most people are nice, a few idiots.
Good Beer, (Fullers), Footy on TV, Staff ok but slightly disinterested.
I like the pizza & pint deal- not the best ever pizzas but quick n tasty - great value for money).
