Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Barrel Vault (JD Wetherspoon)

Considering where it is, this is a fairly reliable place for a pint, with enough staff behind the bar and the tables being promptly cleared. Wetherspoon has done a reasonable job of decorating an unpromising space in the shopping area under the Southeastern platforms, and the natural light from the windows along the road frontage certainly helps. There is also a row of high pavement tables along this edge to supplement the interior furniture. As on previous visits, there was a pretty good selection of real ales available from the two banks of six handpumps, including a couple of Twickenham beers: Naked Ladies and Autumn Red (expensive for the chain, if not part of a meal deal, at £3.69, but excellent).

Nice big pub with at least 10 cask beers on my visit.Fairly mundane selection but you caan get a cheap pint in an expensive area for beer.Very busy so others agree.

ORIGINAL REVIEW February 2019
Recently opened 'spoons but the walk in opening from the shopping concourse does detract from a pub feel,only the sight on handpumps remind you of it's function from this view point.The small wooden barrels in the gantry above look a cheap decoration and I found the ranks of modern high tables featureless.Further back in the building is a line of dining booths,some opposite the open kitchen,while outside there are lots of overspill tables all with numbers on them so food can be served al fresco and will mix well with traffic fumes.At least the lavs at the end are not controlled by code access ,worth remembering if awaiting a train but the bizarre low profile hand basins ,urinals and hand dryers can only be explained if Tim Martin has inside knowledge of a plan by Genetic Control of a 4 foot restriction on humanoid height.
At the bar two ranks of 6 handpumps will give a decent range of guests despite the need to stock Doom Bar,London Pride,GK Abbott and IPA some of which will be doubled up.The guest choice on my visit was nothing exciting with some rugby seasonals and some notional Locals such as Trumans Runner.
There's not much else close by ,but I found this 'spoons dull.

UPDATE
A very recent revisit found a wide selection of guests ales in very good condition.Both my Redemption Big Chief and Twickenham Naked Ladies were NBSS 4.Other options included Adnams Ghost Ship ,Twickenham London Porter and Redemption Rock the Kazbek besides the ever dull GK Abbott,IPA and Doom Bore.London prices apply here with most guests £3.29 but I won't begrudge that price for the quality served up.Upgrade and now very worthy of a visit .
