Pub in Kew, in the Good Beer Guide.

They are a brewpub and serve their own beers. They also have a range of domestic and foreign bottled beers.

bob visited on a Monday afternoon/evening in September 2012. There were four real ales on, all from their own brewery: OK Bitter (£3.50/pint), Three Nine One, Maximus, Q Gold, and Queen Charlotte. They also had Nemophila (£3.60/pint), a kegged stout. A bottle of Crabbies was £4.55. All of the beers were OK, but nothing stood out.

The pub is a collection of interconnected rooms. We sat in a relatively secluded one with some big sofas before moving to a more conventional table when our food had arrived. It was quite quiet the entire time.

Essex duck leg with mash and green beans (£11) was very tasty. The burger with cheese and bacon (£11) photo looked very good as well.

Accessibility: Toilets are upstairs.
