Formerly a coaching inn, this is a former Watney’s house, dating from the mid-19th century though probably rebuilt.
The interior is simple: bare boarded, a white colour scheme, conventional tall or normal furniture; the only item of note is the bare brick fireplace. Décor takes the form of much rugby-themed memorabilia, miscellaneous prints and the bar array is woody. Customers were few – perhaps more in the garden on my 8.40pm Tuesday visit – and a resolutely older blokey bunch at that, none watching the football, commentary dominating the diegetic ambience.
Aside from two unused pumps, the cask front amounted to just Wainwright Gold and Tribute, £2.40 a half and in decent nick, served by a friendly barman.
The pub is adequate, nothing more; the neighbouring Rifleman is preferable, always assuming you can overcome the pull of the tractor beam emanating from 15 Staines Road…

A fair-sized suburban pub which has been tarted up a bit, although happily avoiding the full gastro treatment. The first thing that strikes you is a vast expanse of stripped floorboard, with dark wood high tables and stools to one side and light wood dining tables to the other. The bar itself is plain but relatively traditional, albeit with plain wooden shelf units behind. At least the walls and ceilings are in white, rather than gastro grey. There are 8 handpumps on the bar, although only 4 seem in use, offering TT Landlord, Hophead, Tribute and Youngs Original. Food is also definitely not gastro, being mainly burgers, pies and pub classics. A shove ha'penny board is something of a rarity.

Newish landlord in place; a friendly chap who seems to know his stuff. Minor decor changes - sofas out replaced by wooden tables which makes it more in keeping with the bare boarded "proper" pub feel of the place. Boltmaker, Pedigree, Brakspears (hooray!) and Hophead during my most recent visit. Brakspears and Pedigree both sampled and in fine shape. Now represents good competition for the excellent Rifleman which is nearby.
