The Prince Blucher, Twickenham

Bucking Fastard left this review about The Prince Blucher

Named in honour of a hero of the battle of Waterloo,this Fullere's tied house sites close to Twickenham Green.It's modest in size with a single opened out tap room with low ceilings and with good fireplaces.The furniture is a mix of dining style tables and butcher block high tables but at some stage room dividers were taken out,the unusable front door hints at the original layout.
There is a rear dining area with a lecturn guarding the entrance,while the beer garden is quite substantial.
Although food is served from a small and rather expensive menu (median main £17,sandwiches and chips £11) the three flatscreen will play any sport available,there are multiple bar stools so there is a drinking atmosphere.The overloud muzak was a negative but there is a charming small side snug with just room for one table with shelves full of board games if you want to be diverted.
There are 7 handpumps but only two ales on my Thursday afternoon visit in Fullers London Pride (treble clipped) and Twickenham Naked Ladies (double clipped). However the condition of my Naked Ladies was spot on ,NBSS 4.5 ,which cushioned the blow of £5.65.
Decent enough place and without the earthy feel of the nearby Sussex Arms but not a destination pub as such.
