Had a good roast dinner here.The bar has 3 areas and just the usual Fullers beers.You can sit outside viewing the river but not an option on a cold wet day.

Still damned expensive but seems a bit more of a relaxed drinking experience now. Usually three Fullers plus a guest or two. No problems with our pints of Dark Star Hophead (NBSS 3.5).

Fullers pub that takes advantage of a lovely interior and riverside view. Beer quality is variable and damned expensive. The new refit means that the place now has a bit of atmosphere it was badly lacking during quiet hours previously and the dark rambling interior now has a bit of warmth. Best taken either at height of midsummer or depths of a winter evening. This place doesn’t quite get it right which is a shame as this should be the best pub in town with that view. Rated 5

Olde worlde hotel with a slight modern twist. Lots of woodwork and a couple of open fires; a mixture of furniture including some nice leather armchairs. Outside there is a nice riverside patio. Four draught ales from Fullers, and those sampled were in excellent condition. Perhaps a little pricey but very civilised.

"The Swan Hotel" - technically this pub is in Egham, but most people refer to it as being in Staines (right next to Staines bridge, anyway). I love this pub! The location is fantastic. There aren't many pubs right on the river (Thames) in Staines, so they really have the monopoly there in the sunny weather. Excellent. The pub is actually split into 3 distinct parts, the hotel (upstairs), the restaurant (separate area to the left when you come in the main street entrance), and the bar area. The bar is an unusual 'walk-around' bar, and there may be a log fire going (on cold days). They do have a small TV screen in the bar area for sports, but do not be alarmed, they only have the sound on for the rugby (...or possibly the tennis, when Andy Murray is winning...!) they may show some football games, but with no sound (...to keep the hooligans away...!) An interesting pub. Plenty of tables outside on the raised terrace, over-looking the river, for those pleasant sunny days (...and for those patrons who like tobacco)! 7/10 :o) TJ

Lovely bar situated on the edge of the Thames with ideal area outside to watch the water. Fullers beers, with good food and friendly service.
