The Abercorn Arms, Teddington

Far be-it for me to turn this into a "tit for tat" however, I feel compelled to add a comment following on from beerbaby.

You rightly observe the pub was in need of a makeover, however, have you considered whether Youngs were the cheif architects / designers ? That said, I am thrilled with the way the interior of the pub has changed - by this I mean the decor as well the new clientele.

There is now greater seating capacity as the toilets have been re-located. Not only can you enjoy a quiet drink away from the busy bar area's - but you are able to enjoy outstanding and highly recommended home cooked fare at a table you can actually reach - especially on a Sunday.

The benches are still there - and you will be pleased to know they have been recovered - as are the chairs.

The faithful majority have indeed voted with their feet - and remain planted firmly within the Abercorn. Those few who may have decided to take their custom elsewhere are missing out on so much.

Roll on Saturday when I will be sipping ale at the Abercorn - whilst sitting on a bar stool without my chin resting on the bar !

I may be a little biased - being my local, but the Corn is great local, traditional pub, off the beaten track in Teddington. Good beer and great company - what more could you want ! It's got everything a good local should have - friendly management, pool, great music selection, beer garden, darts and a great mix of characters - including the staff. The students are few and far between and those that do go in are a friendly bunch. Good to see new faces becoming regulars. Highly recommended.
