It's tucked away on a quiet side street just a few dozen metres from the busy main street. The decor is focused around wood — half-panelled walls, bare boards on the floor, wooden bar front with stained-glass gantry above, and mismatched wooden chairs and tables. Exposed brickwork here and there adds interest, along with various inevitable-in-Twickenham rugby-related prints. There's a patio-style garden out the back. |

[[Kake]] first visited on a very rainy Saturday evening in November 2008. It wasn't overly busy, perhaps because of the weather, but there was a good, friendly, welcoming atmosphere and it came across as really quite a nice pub. Beers available were Fursty Ferret (£3.10/pint), Tangle Foot, Badger, and possibly one other. There was no music, but there was a TV with the sound on showing sport commentary (not the actual sport) in the wrong aspect ratio. |

[[Kake]] visited again on a Monday lunchtime in September 2017. There was just one other customer when I arrived a little before 12:30pm, but several others turned up while I was there. Music was playing, fairly interesting, not too loud. The ten handpumps were clipped for four ales, all from Hall & Woodhouse: Union Joker (the seasonal; £2.15/half), Fursty Ferret, Badger, and Tangle Foot. Service was friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the different ales. |
Food is served noon-3:30pm daily, according to the Time Out website as of April 2008. There's a quiz night on Thursday evenings according to all the sources below. |

Accessibility: There are steps up to get in, and although there's a toilet marked "disabled" you have to go down a step to get to it. |

In September 2017, [[Kake]] tried the hummus, beetroot, and carrot sandwich (£7 including chips and side salad) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/37014254362/ photo]</small>. It was pretty good. The hummus itself was fine, and the thinly-sliced carrot and beetroot worked well. It was served in a sub-style roll, with a crisp but not overly hard crust. The side salad was undressed, but with flavourful enough leaves that I didn't miss the dressing. Chips were nothing special, but competently cooked. Child-friendliness: There's a pull-down nappy change in the RADAR-locked accessible toilet (key available from bar). Accessibility: One or two steps to get in, depending on which side you enter via. The one-step side then has another step to the bar. There's a RADAR-locked accessible toilet on the level from the lower level, with grab bars, low sink, and low hand dryer, but on our visit the alarm cord was tucked away behind a picture frame high up on the wall. |
