The Lion, Teddington

This is our favourite pub in London, and recently winner of 2006 CAMRA London pub of the year. The bar staff are always really friendly, and the beer (many changing varieties of it) is always well kept. I have just read the previous review which said the beer was off - and I am really surprised by that - sometimes the beers they bring in for the beer festivals are really obscure so maybe they weren't off, just different?? The food here is always really lovely - home cooked and fresh. For anybody wanting a traditional pint in a traditional setting, this is the place for you.

Arch One Bar and Grill, Waterloo

I reserved the upstairs section of Arch 1 Bar and Grill for a birthday drinks do after work on Friday. I was really impressed how organised and friendly all the staff were. When I arrived the waiter wished me a happy birthday and checked that I was happy with everything. I was. The staff were very attentive and provided table service all evening to some 40-50 friends. The cocktails were carefully made and well presented. The yummy platters were finished off in a matter of minutes. The ambience of the place was spot on and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of having a low key but classy drinks party, or even a drink and a bite to eat after work.
