Time Out says   Rate it

Posted: Jun 25 2010

Beside a muddy but peaceful stretch of the Thames, facing a little island straight out of Arthur Ransome, this higgledy-piggledy pub offers tranquillity both inside and out.

The honking of multitudinous geese all but drowns out the regular passing of Heathrow-bound aircraft; the nearest bridge welcomes trains only rarely, and you're just as likely to see an oarsman breaking the water.

Inside, everyday folk sit and chat about EastEnders, lads on the Greene King IPA while ladies take to the house chardonnay (less than £3 a glass). Artefacts related to the location - sepia waterside scenes of yesteryear, an old wooden 'Beware of the Weir' sign - decorate the raised main bar area, leading to the back terrace. Intimate alcoves in the lower bar and riverside festival seating await couples and close friends enjoying a memorable catch-up.
