Pub under major refurbishment, and new management.
Should be good when it opens.
Good Luck

Oh My God, all of you got away lightly.
I walked into the pub on an England losing match day, and had the misfortune of making a comment to the landlord that the England team were crap.
Well, the shit the shit hit the fan.
He pulled out a cattle prod, and proceeded to stun me. Thinking this was an English initiation to rugby, I was not too perturbed. But he followed up the prodding, by dragging me down to the Thames, where he proceeded to WATERBOARD me for at least 10 minutes. At this point I realised that I had fallen foul of a crazy publican. I then proceeded to correct my erroneous statement about the England rugby team, at which point he pulled me out of the Thames, hugged me and dragged me back inside the pub for a pint, which he paid for.
Well, we are now best of friends and I fully understand his way of running this great pub.
It takes a great deal of work to run a pub, and do it successfully. So if a few individuals fall foul of my new friend, it is because they were out of line.
Let England win, ban cattle prods and make friends.

Just tried their BBQ. The menu stated "Suffolk Pork Sausages - �5.00". Well only one sausage, and seems like it was reheated and overcooked on the outside. I have had better at a fairground. Once again, I have to give up on this place. Last time it was a charcoaled burger. The pints of Staropramen also had bits of yeast in them, so someone needs to teach the staff how to clean lines properly. The catch was broken on the gate to the childrens play area, so the gate remained open. Big grass area with a sign keep off the grass, I thought this was a pub. Wooden benches were filthy, so had to search for somewhere clean to sit.
Well, this is one pub that gets crossed off my list.

It has now changed its name to "The Misty Moon".
Most people I know called it "The Sorry Gits" or "The Muddy Puddle". Was full of incontinent "Old Gits", you had to check if you had a dry seat before you sat down. They have now moved to the "Sorting Room" across the road, and if these guys moved, there has to be something wrong with this pub now.
Another Twickenham pub bites the dust.

The Eel Pie, Twickenham
Have to agree with Cleversaz. The pub smells like a deep fat fryer on a bad night. The beers/lagers are all overpriced and not well kept (Tanglefoot tasted like a bad foot). Will not be going back ever again unless hell freezes over or the management make some drastic changes. Having frequented this pub for many years before I left the area, I was shocked on my return to find how this pub has gone down hill. Bring back Alan & Claire.
