The Hogarth, Teddington

Fullers high street pub. A fairly souless knocked-through interior with little to offer - grey paint, pool, TV football, skylight and a rear patio. Three Fullers on - ESB, Olivers and Pride. The ESB was in decent shape. There’s no real reason to come here, Fullers have killed the place in terms of warmth and ambience.

Not one of Fullers finest.Dull pub with massive tv screen showing the Fulham match with sound on.Only Pride or Jack Frost on.The Jack Frost was too cold and was vinegar. Never again.

The Hogarth is in Teddingtons main shopping area. This pub is a Fullers tied house and once inside there was one room that i noticed and this had been done up in the modern style but i thought it was comfortable enough. There were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Fullers Jack Frost and this was a very nice drink the other beer was London Pride,the pub was fairly quiet on my visit and i thought it was ok for a quick drink.

This is a Fuller’s house, but they didn’t have the full range available – just London Pride (of course), Gales Seafarers and HSB. The food on offer (during a weekday lunchtime) was mainly pub grub, but the menu does feature such non-pub grub offerings as whitebait, calamari rings, and caramelised goat’s cheese and roast pepper ciabatta. The tuna & mayo ciabatta with a bit of salad that I had was OK for £4.65. It seems to be a typical high street Fuller’s pub to me. Furnishings are mainly normal tables and chairs, but in an alcove on the right at the rear of the room there were a few armchairs and a sofa, plus the usual low tables. The floor is mainly bare boarded but with a small carpeted area, and at the back on the left there is a small area with a flagstone floor and well lit by a skylight. This leads to a small beer garden with picnic benches painted royal blue. The wall decor is inoffensive but nothing special – mainly old black and white photographs. The obligatory one-armed bandits, games machine, ciggy machine, and large flatscreen TV (muted – showing Sky Sports) were all present. This is a decent enough, if pretty average, pub. It’s a bit like a small Wetherspoon’s pub really. Definitely not worth seeking out, but OK for a pint and a bite to eat if you find yourself in Teddington on a weekday lunchtime.
