The Railway, Mortlake

Oh my God....what has happened to this place. Haven't been for a while but used to pop in to a roaring fire in winter and a warming terrace in Summer - lots of good german lagers too - food was right up there - lots of choice - a real saturday evening treat with friends...

But......... i stood in awe - horrific fairly lights hanging out an upstairs window! the broken outside lights and the torn awning were just the start of it...once in it felt like a charity shop without charity - literally broken furniture, broken wall-lights...and to top it off only one beer! no wine!! - the place is barely open...

Apparently its been taken over - who by one asks - steptoe and son! - what a shame - it really was a cracking place and not so long ago!!

The White Cross, Richmond

a fantastic pub. Great centre bar with guest ales and a warm reception. Superb views of the thames and an outside bar in the summer too. Can't go wrong.
