The Railway, Teddington

I'm really not too sure what this place is trying to be, its certainly not my idea of a traditional pub, unless zebra striped seat cushions and tea lights are suddenly de rigeur. I had arranged to meet a mate here as its next to the station; entered to find three unclipped handpumps, no one behind the bar. I never found out if they served any real ale as my mate turned up and we left. I believe The Bloated Mallard is meant to be some kind of skit on the famous Fat Duck. Personally I just think its a silly name. A couple of people were eating but otherwise it was very quiet. No rating left as we didn't have a drink.

much more of a restaurant than a pub

This is now renamed BLOATED MALLARD. As a pub it is so so, as a restaurant it is very good.
