The Crossing, Barnes, SW13

The drinks selection in this place is very limited with only Adnams Spindrift, Hoegarden, Stella and Guinness. I went for the Stella and thought that I'd certainly had better elsewhere. I think that most of the drinking that goes on in this establishment is to supplement the eating of food as I found it to be more restaurant than pub. I've never been to a pub with a trough of fruit in the bar where my racing post should be sitting! There is a beer garden/yard out the back but I would hardly call it wonderful, especially as the Coach and Horses beer garden is just around the corner and the seats look like they have been purchased from a greasy spoon. Although I found the staff to be friendly I like my pubs so didn't rate this place very highly.

Recommended not to visit! Car park a building site; very unwelcoming, cheap interiors with tables and carpet sticky; food very poor - either over- or under-done, which is quite an achievement. Not recommended.

Seems more of a restaurant than a pub, but you can just order drinks at the bar. It doesn't have real ale but sells Guinness, Hoegarden, Stella and Bulmers. There is an outside seating area. Food served all day. Careful which table you pick, some of them are not exactly flat.
