The Angel & Crown, Richmond

Fuller's pub tucked away on a side street. Interior a described below.

Tucked away in a small alleyway, this Fuller's pub is a bit of a strange mixture. It has a few features of interest, such as the little partly-screened snug in one corner, but is more of a sports bar (with clientele to suit) than I was expecting. Rather spartan in terms of furniture and decor, with the silent TV screens dominating the bar area, but there are high tables with menus along the front windows and a separate lounge-like seating area towards the rear. Several small metal tables out front. Background music. Two banks of four handpumps, both offering Pride, ESB, HSB (£3.95) and Liberation Ale as a guest. Overall, I didn't find the place particularly welcoming.

The Angle and Crown is down a narrow alley off the main shopping street,this is a Fullers tied house and once inside i went in the room at the front this was a decent comfortable room. There were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Fullers ESB and this was a very nice drink the other beer was London Pride. Pub visited 1/11/2001
