This is a rather compact High Street branch of the Wetherspoons chain, just down the road from Feltham Station. The pub has a notional two room layout, although this is just an illusion really, caused by a centrally positioned staircase which effectively splits the room in two. The front space is the exception, as it has an open plan feel, with lots of chair and high stool seating filing a broad, carpeted area, dominated by a row of large windows which are ideal for people watching. The servery is down the right-hand wall and has a pleasant counter with curved ends, a mirrored bar back and a modern metal frame pot shelf. High stools serve numerous tables opposite, before the room opens out again to the rear, albeit with a large pillar in the middle. Tables and chairs fill the space, along with some banquette booths across the back wall. A few local black and white photos on the wood panelled walls add some visual distraction and are further enhanced by the addition of some aviation bits and bobs, which hint at the pub's proximity to Heathrow Airport. Stairs lead up to the toilets and they have a large crescent moon sculpture hung above them, with an unidentified character sat on it. A row of slot machines near the rear entrance, was quite well secluded from general view and TV screens showing muted live rugby kept folk entertained and distracted from what felt like a rather grotty and unclean pub.
On the bar, the three usual regular 'Spoons ales were doubled up but there was still enough space for five guests as well. I tried a pint of Zulu Blonde for just £2.55, which I think was part of their beer festival and might therefore explain why so many beers were on. It was a decent enough pint and I had to sit at the very back of the room to drink it, as the Saturday evening crowd had taken just about every other table.
I didn't find much to get excited about here, in what appeared to be a grubby, cluttered 'Spoons with a dubious customer base. Only the varied ale range caught my attention, but that alone wouldn't tempt me back for a return visit. Its worth a look, solely because there are so few other decent pubs in Feltham, but set your expectations low - as I was leaving, one of the regulars confessed to me that he hates the pub but that it's the only one he can get to, which kind of summed it up for me.

Mid 90s Victoriana Spoons (dark wood, glass, booths), only a few yards from the station. Edgy atmosphere on a Tuesday (!) with trouble clearly brewing and indeed it boiled-over that a full-on scrap ensued amongst the knuckle-dragging locals to the extent that the pub was locked-up; staff gave the impression they’d seen it all before (subsequently backed-up by a couple of locals/spectators I chatted to as the screaming chimpesses - for it was mainly ladies - went at each other outside) and were somewhat slow to hit the button despite it being clear to anyone not half-cut it was about to kick-off; they could have thrown them out and saved the grief. That rather took my eye off the reviewing ball, though my notes say that here was three guest cask and my Twickenham was a little under-par (NBSS 2.5). Let’s say I won’t be gracing here, or Feltham, anytime in the foreseeable. Hard-Fi were right…

'Moon on the Square' is probably the best pub in Feltham at the moment. Their selection of world beers is always welcome. The staff, although often quite young, are always efficient (well-trained), polite+friendly. And will sometimes engage in conversation (which is rare in a lot of London pubs)! I like the MOTS, it's a good, honest pub. 'JDW' seem to know how to run a pub properly! :o) I've upped my rating: 6
