There's much to cherish about this gastropub tucked among the cute backstreet cottages on the border between Barnes and East Sheen. A handsome space by day, with its cream wood panelling and retro metal signs, it positively twinkles by night thanks to the warm wooden furniture, polished red ceiling and copper globe lamps above the central bar. The bar divides the smallish space into drinking and dining areas, and there's a back garden for summer lounging. It's upmarket but not stuffy, and the food can be very good (it was runner-up for Best Gastropub in the 2007 Time Out Eating & Drinking Awards). Expect seasonal ingredients and unfussy combinations, whether it's top-notch seafood, a lavish Sunday roast or comforting puds. Dogs (of any colour) are welcome.

Time Out Bars, Pubs & Clubs Guide 2008/9
Having been in a relationship for 12 years I'm keen to get out and about. I enjoy clubing and parties, but I am just as happy curling up on the...
Desperately banal, the menu is boring and expensive, and the decoration without coherence (too much!).
The day we went there the only interesting dish was sold out (at 8pm!) as were some others, but the rest was extremely common or without interest.
As usual the best is the enemy of the good. Neither convivial nor chic. I will not return.
