The Old Goat, Fulwell

This was my local until last week, I'd been drinking in it since I was 23, it's closed now for 8 weeks and is said to be becoming a poxy wine bar!

The new management took over at Christmas last year and really turned it around in just 8 months, but weren't really given a good enough chance. It was a great little boozer, very friendly and we were always made welcome. I will miss the Fulwell Arms - R.I.P

The Fountain, Twickenham

I completely disagree with the majority of the comments made on this page, although I will agree that the service in the restaurant area leaves alot to be desired. However to say that this is the 'rough or dodgy' end of Twickenham I find offensive. So what if we don't all live in nice posh houses, that doesn't mean that it's the 'rough' part of Twickenham!!

The bar staff are friendly, and it's a lovely relaxed atmosphere with leather sofas and armchairs in the main bar area, and it caters for children which is always a bonus.

My theory is, if you don't like it, don't drink in it!! And stop moaning about it, the Fountain has changed in recent years, and in my opinion it has changed for the better. Full marks to the management!
