Mock Tudor on the green near the bridge, it’s a single L shaped room with a mirror fronted counter straight ahead. Four hand pumps with Pride, Sussex Best and Twickenham Naked Ladies to send CAMRA’s maiden aunts apoplectic, the last pull was bare. I had an above average Naked Ladies at a very reasonable, for the area, £5.40. Two T-bars serve the usual suspects. Apart from the weird mirrors on the counter and canopy it’s a modern type look but with a bit of (grey!) panelling and an old fireplace. Some furniture is completely crowded in, three tables in a space only big enough for two and all that, most were reserved on an evening visit some saying "regulars". The staff wear long aprons branded with the pub name. Two front doors suggest there was a corridor down the right hand side leading to a back bar, now replaced with service areas, toilets and the way to a rear outdoor but covered area with booth type seating down one side. Some nice deco stained glass remains in the front and rear windows.

An attractive exterior with a curved front window and some ceramic tiling in the door reveals,the interior is stripped out,with a series of high tables in both the front window recess and along the right wall,with the bar to the left.Further back is more traditional dining type tables while the beer garden has fake grass,a rank of seating pods and some seperate wicker tables and chairs.Food is very popular here ,and many tables has reserved times,but avoid these times and you can drink in peace until the diners turn up.The garden is equally popular with diners,although your four legged friend will be made welcome with a bowl of water.
There is a quiz and live music on Sundays ,so there is a community feel at times.I popped in on a Sunday when the roast menu is the main draw,sharing platters for 2 or3 diners are offered and you can carve your own join with this deal.Most mains are around £15 and there are sliders,so a premium price but not surprising given the location.
There are 4 handpumps with on my trip Doom Bar,London Pride,St Austell Tribute and a decent Twickenham Naked Ladies. Your view of this pub may be dependent on when you visit,it was certainly busy on Sunday afternoon but maybe more fun on quiz night or after food service times.

The attractive black and white timbered exterior and curved front windows with leaded stained glass upper lights gives an inviting look however once inside is when the traditional look stops. The angled light wood and mirrored bar counter is unusually low, grey painted wood panelling and large oval high tables are a distinct contrast to the exterior. The bar gantry is also mirrored and hangs from tubular steel fittings, the beamed ceiling is painted white. To the rear a marquee now fills the garden where there are also apparently service booths with TVs.
Strangely there are three cakes or gateaux under glass on the end of the bar, not my first choice of bar snack with my pint.
Four handpumps with a bit of a mainstream selection of Doom Bar, Pride, Tribute and Purity Mad Goose. The menu is rather upmarket and is best described as ambitiously priced. The log fire blazing away on a chilly day redeemed the place a bit as far as I was concerned but there isn't much here to entice me back.
