Pretty pub in Barnes! Always great for drinks and even for food. This is our lunchtime favourite place, great for little workplace celebrations and after work drinks. It's got lots of seating outdoors in summer and indoors in winter. Their crabcakes are my favourite but overall everything is good. I somehow associate this place for little celebrations.
There is nothing more quintessentially English than a village green with a pub and a duck pond. Here in Barnes, historically one of the market gardens of London and mentioned in the Domesday book by its Saxon name of Berne as far back as 1086, the pond has been the central focus of the village around which many of the 18th and 19th century houses and mansions are grouped. Until well into the 1900s, the pond was the local watering hole for live stock, though these days, it is purely recreational. Well populated by all manner of ducks and geese, it is inextricably woven into the fabric of every Barnes childhood.
The fixed price menu on weekdays is excellent value for money. Sometimes service can be slow but it hasn't put me off from going back again and again.
