The Roebuck, Hampton Hill

From what was once the worst pub in the Hamptons, it's now one of the best due to the work put in by the Freeholder/Owner/Landlord/Publican and proprietor of the B&B which is integral.
Whilst it has undoubtedly quirky memorabilia - the selection of which you will NOT find in any other pub in Britain, the atmosphere is always friendly and female non-threatening.
I saw the comment about some sad old drunk locals - you almost get that in all places from time-to-time but (and I've seen it) a fair private word with the Landlord/Owner etc will get that unfriendly drunk either banned from future visits or marched off there and then.
And to prove its secure and friendly nature, why would international business guests visiting the world famous NPL (National Physical Lab) in nearby Teddington, return time after time to enjoy the B&B and the banter in the evening?
Bye the way, lunch is excellent vfm for the standard type pub fare.
If you didn�t enjoy your first visit, try is again at a different time of day.
