| I happened to re-visit this little hostlery last Sunday at about 9:30pm. There was one table of 4-5'ish "OK Yah" types and one totally disinterested barman in sad need of a personality transplant. Faced with this tableau I decided to try a half of "Naked Ladies" and was asked for £1.75. When I enquired as to whether this beer was now £3.50 a pint, I was told no it was three pounds but a half was £1.75. A Twickenham resident of ten years now, I will not be returning. Incidentally I did use the outside loos on the way out and as stated by previous contributors, they are disgusting. StrawhillJ - 4 Dec 2008 22:58 |

| I registered with the site only after reading some of the reviews of this pub and hearing local rumours regarding its future. I must say that there seems to be rather a lot of comments regarding the management? Why is it that? I have given a rating of 7/10 purely for location, history and atmosphere of an old style boozer. Would an old style boozer run out of popular ales within the first half hour of opening on a Sunday lunchtime? No it wasn't that busy! Shame really. whitbread - 18 Sep 2008 17:05 |
| to you the one that row's up the river to drink in this JOINT.. you are the kinda stuck up your own ass person im talking about..keep rowing LOVE hobo36 - 15 Jul 2008 19:28 |
| This pub is in a wonderful location – almost unrivalled for riverside drinking. I tend to hire a rowing boat half a mile downstream and row there for a couple of beers. I can’t say I’ve noticed that it is so much more expensive than other boozers in/near London. Comments about it being a toff’s bar are well off the mark – all humanity gathers there, especially on a hot day. I would agree that quality of the pub management has declined since the old landlord moved to The Clubhouse up the road. I think they tried for a more chilled atmosphere to pull in the under 30s, but the service and catering went downhill. The gents’ toilet should have some sort of heritage order slapped on it. I can’t think of a more disgusting bog anywhere. If you have seen the film Trainspotting, there is a scene which is captioned “the worst toilet in Scotland”. It could have been shot in the Swan. Despite these shortcomings it is still worth a visit. GaryB59 - 7 May 2008 15:12 |
