Traditional pub built around 1861 with a reputation for good food that include Sunday roast lunches. The pub was refurbished in 2020 and is part carpeted with a wooden floor in the centre bar area, a small cosy side library room with side access and fire-place. The separate restaurant room can be curtained off as needed on special occasions. The corner TV in the bar area shows old films (Film4) with no sound but with subtitles on. Outside seating is on the front corner pavement (with its own tree) and to the side. The pub provides accommodation with four en suite boutique rooms (see pub's website for details). Quiz night every other Monday. Dog friendly but not in restaurant or upstairs and children not allowed in the pub after 6 pm.

The pub provides a meeting place for local groups (Hampton Wick Association, book club, runners, walkers and cyclists with the Sigma Sports shop close at hand). Bushy Park and Kingston Town centre are all a few minutes walk away.
