Kake visited on a Saturday afternoon in November 2008. Beers available were Harveys Sussex Best, Doom Bar, Greene King IPA, Twickenham Autumn Blaze (£1.60/half), and St Austell Tribute. (The 2009 Good Beer Guide notes that one of the guests is usually from the local Twickenham brewery.)
According to the 2009 Good Beer Guide, the style of this place is "somewhere between a hotel lounge and a gentlemen's club, with several leather sofas" - this is a fairly accurate assessment, though it should be noted that there's also a flatscreen, which on my visit was showing rubgy with the sound on (no competing piped music, though).
There were quite a lot of people in when I arrived a little after 3pm, though there were still free tables. The restaurant at the front was booked out to a private function.
Food is served noon-2:30pm and 7pm-10pm Mon-Thu; noon-10pm Fri-Sat; and noon-9pm Sun.
Accessibility: One step up to get in. It's on one level once you're in, but the ladies' toilets are extremely cramped.
