The White Swan, Twickenham

Terribly rude. Went for a pint with 2 locals who count the Swan as their local. Served plastic glasses, which we (politely) questioned as others were getting glasses and we weren't going outside. Were told that as we weren't locals we get plastic. My friend pointed out he did in fact come in quite often. The just over 18 barman (barboy?) then told him in no uncertain terms that if he was a local (with the inference he was lying), then he would know his face and he would have had a proper glass. Terribly rude and unwelcoming for no real purpose. There are plenty of nice pubs in Twickenham who will happily serve you good ale. Try them first. 1 point for the view, 1 for a very average pint of something forgettable.
