The Windmill, Hounslow

A few of us popped in here just after Christmas and found it very pleasant. Not many in there so a quiet pub but service and regulars at the bar were friendly. Stayed until closing after many poor imitations of Phil "The Power" Taylor at the dartboard.

Are the Landlord/lady American/Canadian?

The Sun, Hounslow

Oh dear. First time back to the Sun since the refurbishment and what was a cosy, comfy local has decided it wants to be some kind of Yates-cum-Spearmint Rhino. "Spearmint Rhino" you say? Yes, what else could the spotlit pole in the main bar be for? Gone are the sofas, warm orange glow and real fires (missed in the winter!) :-(

It's still a charming building, has a great garden and serves good Thai food but we hope this prodigal "Sun" returns from its trip into decadence and comes back to its roots.

Until then we'll be heading to the Windmill on Bell Road.
