Stayed here this week overnight and was a pleasant experience. Room was clean and tidy if a little noisy due to being next to the main road. Beds were comfortable enough. The toilet was little cramped, being sandwiched between the wall and the bath. Also the toilet roll holder fell off the wall. Only one available plug socket.
the pub itself is nice, nice range of beers and the food is pretty good. Had one of their currys which was pretty good I have to say.
Whilst the staff were friendly, there simply were not enough of them! Not very prepared or organised, seems like they have just taken over running the place.

A gorgeous family pub for a quiet cosy drink. Nicely laid out, nice beer garden and a good location. Nice range of beers and guest ales.
The food here is absolutely wonderful, they changed chefs a while back and quality improved dramatically. Slightly pricey,but you get big portions. I had pot roast pheasant yesterday which was delicious!

A nice small pub that feels cosy and warm. Again a locals pub due to the location, with a friendly lively atmosphere and fine for a pint or ten. Good place to meet up for a beer session and chat.

Being a local i have visited this pub a few times in the past,but due to the demise of the Hand and Flower this has become my hometown drinking den. Overall a decent enough pub,good selection of beers and good bar staff that actually remember your last round! Definitely a locals pub due to the location,but always friendly. Idiots are not tolerated so never any trouble!
They show all the premiership games and have a bigscreen available.

Now one of my favourite pubs in the area as being an ex local I know most people in there so of course I enjoy it more!
Looking at it objectively the pub is in a very accessible location due to being on the main road from Richmond to Kingston. Nice looking pub, with tables out front, a side bit and a small car park out back. Inside its a nice down to earth pub, populated by locals and people passing through. Very laid back and relaxed atmosphere and the bar staff are good natured, friendly and happy to serve. I have not eaten there,but what I have seen looks good!
They have comedy nights and live music nights regularly and its rammed when they happen. They get good talent in and its great fun. They have all the sports channels available on TVs and a large projector screen. Also they show football games in 3D whenever possible (not sure if I like it though!).
Thumbs up.
The beer is good, usual collection of lagers and ales,bar snacks and shorts etc. And as mentioned by someone else, this is one pub you NEVER get trouble in. I have never seen any aggro ever in this place. The staff and locals do not and would not tolerate it.
