The Adelaide, Teddington

Now a single room with a central rectangular bar, though clearly once seperate areas. Carpeted, a mix of traditional seating at small tables, upholstered banquettes, some bar stools and to the left of the bar, two Chesterfield type sofas, and an armchair around the fireplace with a flat screen TV over (showing football with the sound down). Decor is mainly old photos of the surrounding area, some rugby pics and a signed shirt and a display of US Police badges, rather unusually. Very clean and tidy with a bit of an austere feel, mature clentele, I can't imagine this place ever being noisy or rowdy. Nevertheless a not unfriendly welcome and a relaxed ambience. Decent looking specials menu, fairly priced, eg pork hock in cider and apple gravy with mash, £9.95, soup and a warm baguette is £3.50. Decent Sheps ales, served in the appropriately marked glasses served from 5 handpumps. No Porter though.
